Oh my GOD, you guys. Oh my god. Apparently Pharrell tried to set up a YouTube channel called “I Am Other” and then Will.i.am sent him a cease and desist because he thinks that HE OWNS THE RIGHTS TO EVERYTHING WITH AN “I AM” IN IT.
Pharrell didn’t run scared … he ran to court … and SUED Will — in an effort to stop Will from stopping him. In the suit, filed in federal court in NY and obtained by TMZ, Pharrell argues that they are each using “I Am” in completely different ways.
Pharrell says Will is using the “I Am” is a Seussian way — as a playfull riff on his own name — and to hammer home his point, he quotes from Green Eggs and Ham:
“Sam I am
I am Sam
I am Sam
Sam I am”
Pharrell continues in his suit, “In contrast, the I Am Other mark means ‘I am something else,’ leaving what that ‘else’ is to the imagination of the consumer. It certainly does not mean ‘I am Will.'”
OH MY GOD THAT IS SOME STRAIGHT-UP DODO BUSINESS. Will.i.am, just because you are doesn’t mean that the rest of us aren’t! You can’t own the sky!!!!!!! [TMZ]
Farrah Abraham has entered rehab for drinking a whole bunch of a lot of alcohol and then driving around and getting caught and being a dick about it.
Describing it as a preemptive step to ensure that she continues on the right path, the 22-year-old told Radar: “At this time in my life, I need to stay focused on the positive to get through all of the negative that a DUI has caused in my life.”
“I’m 22 and I want to make better choices and ensure I can recognize when I am putting myself in a bad situation next time,” she added.
In March, Farrah was arrested in Omaha, Neb., after allegedly blowing a .147, nearly twice the legal blood alcohol limit of .08 percent.
Following her arrest, Farrah was placed on six months probation and already ordered to complete an alcohol education course.
Although she recently passed the course, the director of the Texas-based program noted Farrah “had difficulty making eye contact, was standoffish and was sarcastic when answering the questions asked of her,” according to a document provided to Radar.
Barf to all of it. Barf. Hey, remember when she used to be famous for having a kid? Is that kid still existing? [Radar] [Us]
