Ashley Cole feels threatened by will.i.am
Mar 16, 2010 Will.I.Am
It seems that Cheryl Cole’s former husband finally found somebody else to blame for the fact that his marriage ended. Ashley Cole apparently has a bone to pick with will.i.am because of the fact that the singer from Black Eyed Peas apparently admitted at some point that he had a thing for Cheryl Cole. A source related the following on the matter: “Will.I.Am’s comments about his wife are not news or a surprise to Ashley. He and Cheryl rowed about it last year. She’s done absolutely nothing wrong but Ashley’s sick of this man openly making advances toward his missus.” Well, though for him Cheryl Cole’s technically not his anymore… so will.i.am’s time to act, if ever, is now. Too bad he didn’t make his move when Cheryl Cole was still getting along with Ashley Cole… it would’ve been a nice addition to his music “borrowing” record.

Pink Floyd won their lawsuit
Mar 13, 2010 Will.I.Am
“Let us give Caesar what is already Caesar’s!” Otherwise he’s just going to show up and take it himself. This was the case with Pink Floyd too. It looks like EMI Group has been selling their songs as downloadable even though Pink Floyd’s contracts specifically state that the content from their albums is not to be unbundled from its original context. So Pink Floyd went ahead and sued EMI for the royalties and they won approximately sixty thousand pounds. This will not bode well for EMI however since they haven’t been faring so well financially. Maybe they can get will.i.am to rip off an obscure track from somebody and turn it into a money-maker… then they wouldn’t have these kinds of lawsuit problems.

Will.i.am’s formula for success
Mar 10, 2010 Black Eyed Peas, Will.I.Am
The singer from the Black Eyed Peas recently shared his views on success with all of us mere mortals. In will.i.am’s opinion, you can only be successful if you give to charity. This is what he said on the matter: “It’s one thing to make it – and you’ve got your own apartment, or house, or car – and you keep it for you. That’s not making it. Making it is spreading it.” Apparently will.i.am is a big fan of charity and thinks its important to share one’s wealth and success. Strange, no mention about all of those stolen songs for his band, but then again, if he can put a few kids through college just by stealing a bit of music, who’s to question will.i.am’s ways?

will.i.am is loosing it
Jan 21, 2010 Black Eyed Peas, Will.I.Am
The Black Eyed Peas singer is apparently losing touch with his professional nature. It seems will.i.am was really steamed-up in the backstage of the Peoples Choice Awards that when his assistant didn’t have his drink ready immediately he hit the roof. It is a good thing for will.i.am though that he didn’t hit his assistant… after all, nobody can go too far with a broken reputation these days. But it was the assistant’s fault too, though… it can get very dehydrating to perform a show. will.i.am deserves more careful attention than just that… after all, he is a star with special star needs.

Black Eyed Peas Settle Plagiarism Case
Nov 23, 2009 Black Eyed Peas, Will.I.Am
Some musicians just have a habit of ripping off other artists and I have to ask when will they ever learn? Will.I.Am surely needs to learn his lesson regarding the matter. As previously mentioned, the Black Eyed Peas front man has been accused several times of ripping off music from other artists. One of the recent accusations deals with a song by musician Adam Freeland called ‘Mancry’ which had a piece of it ending up in the BEP song ‘Party All the Time’. According to reports, Will.I.Am was at an event last year where Adam performed the song in question. Good news though as they have settled all the trouble. Adam posted a message on his Facebook saying “Just settled w/ Black eyes Peas who ripped off Mancry. If you see me in the next wk say ‘Party all the time’ I’ll buy you a beer. Woo hoop!” I guess he got paid.

will.i.am’s song stealing catches up
Nov 19, 2009 Black Eyed Peas, Will.I.Am
After been accused by several artists that he has stolen their music, will.i.am from Black Eyed Peas has apparently decided to finally pay up for his misconducts. And the first to reap the benefits of having his music stolen by will.i.am is Adam Freeland who wrote the following on his Facebook page: Just settled w/ Black eyes Peas who ripped off Mancry. If you see me in the next wk say ‘Party all the time’ I’ll buy you a beer. Woo hoop!” Well, that’s one way to sell your stuff, especially for a lot more than its worth. It seems that the Black Eyed Peas might want to reconsider having will.i.am as a member since it is doubtful that money came out of his pocket alone.

Will.I.Am Gets Sued
Sep 24, 2009 Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, Will.I.Am
Will.I.Am, Fergie and several others involved in the recording of the 2006 song ‘Voodoo Doll’ (off of the former meth addict’s solo album) are being sued by the music group Groundation. The group claims that the song “is substantially and strikingly similar” to their single ‘Each One Teach One’ which was recorded back in 2000. It’s not really surprising for someone who has been plagued by copyright scandals in the past. I just wish that the Black Eyed Peas rapper didn’t have to involve the female singer. The lawsuit is seeking for unspecified damages. They better get ready to pay up.

Michael Jackson had two more albums in pipeline
Jul 3, 2009 Akon, Black Eyed Peas, Jazz, Michael Jackson, Will.I.Am
Michael Jackson had two albums in the works at the time of his death, Billboard magazine has reported.
The singer was collaborating on a pop album with singer-songwriters Claude Kelly and Akon, and another collection of classics.
Kelly said: “He was the King of Pop, the biggest to ever do it, and the one thing you never lose – whether known by the whole world or just 10 people – is your love for music. That never goes away and it never went away for him amidst his troubles.”
Akon (pictured) said: “My fans are still there. They still love me. They’re alive … His kids are like his first priority, and they had never seen him perform live. He was trying to create the most incredible show for his kids.”
Jackson was also working on an instrumental album, collaborating with composer David Michael Frank. “He had two demos of two pieces he’d written, but they weren’t complete,” Frank reportedly told Billboard.
“For one of them, he had a whole section of it done in his head. He had not recorded it. He hummed it to me as I sat at the keyboard in his pool house and we figured out the chords – I guess this recording I made is the only copy that exists of this music.”
Further compositions were also in the pipeline, a jazz track among them. “He mentioned more instrumental music of his he wanted to record, including one jazz piece,” said Frank, who hopes the Jackson family will decide to record the music as a “tribute and show the world the depth of his artistry”.
Meanwhile, Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am earlier this week said Jackson had recordings of new songs the pair had worked on together. “He had all the hard drives because I didn’t want to be responsible for that.”

Will.I.Am of the Future
Nov 9, 2008 Will.I.Am
CNN host Anderson Cooper interviewed musician/producer will.i.am via hologram during Tuesday night’s election coverage from CNN’s Election Center. The technology included around 44 high-definition cameras that take a real-time, three-dimensional image of a person live. Anderson started off by saying “will.i.am, I want to thank you for being with us via hologram tonight.” CNN certainly showed what news coverage will be like in the future. I bet will.i.am had lots of fun doing that. Maybe he could integrate that to a Black Eyed Peas show if they decide to do a tour for their new album. That will be cool!

Rihanna Rocks Justin Timberlake Concert
Oct 27, 2008 Concert Gig, Justin Timberlake
Rihanna performed at the ‘Justin Timberlake and Friends Concert’ which was held at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas last week. The event benefited the Shriners Hospitals. The 20-year old Barbadian babe performed at the charity event alongside the Jonas Brothers, will.i.am, Adam Levine of Maroon 5, 50 Cent, Boyz II Men, JT’s first label signee Esmee Denters and Leona Lewis. With all those hot names involved in the cause, I’m pretty sure the Shriners Hospitals got one heck of a benefit check. Let’s hope all the good doesn’t stop at just that benefit concert though. Those kids and the hospitals need all the help they can get.
