Record Labels sue porn websites…
Jul 13th
Elektra, Atlantic, Warner Brothers and Bad Boy are among 11 record labels that have clubbed together to sue adult websites RK Netmedia and RealityKings for using their music in porn films. – Really!? I wonder who stumbled across that discovery?
Songs such as Justin Timberlake‘s “SexyBack“, Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop (Til You Get Enough)” and Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl“ have been used as background music in various adult films, while “models or actors are performing their scenes”. – As much as it sounds pretty cheap and tacky, the porn industry takes in huge revenue, I would be surprised if any record label would ask for loyalties off the “film” makers.
The 18-page lawsuit suggests that in some cases the titles of the films have taken their inspiration directly from the songs, such as one called “Bringing Sexy Back” – sorry I tried to hold in my laughter.
It also states that sometimes, “performers ‘lip-sync’ the lyrics of a song while engaged in intercourse or other sexual activity”. The record labels are demanding $150,000 (wow!) for each copyright infringement listed in the suit.
Needless to say, I think this is a lesson we’ve all learnt today…If you don’t own it, don’t flaunt it. I would just hate to see acts like Michael Jackson being used in such actives on the net, I mean I don’t judge, but if he’s a hum-dinger for you then that’s okay with me (I guess)!

Chris Brown has a breakdown!
Jun 29th
MoMo Exclusive! Chris Brown has been taking into a rehab! MoMo sources just informed us that singer Chris Brown turned himself into a local LA rehabilitation clinic, apparently he suffered the mental and emotional break down since last night’s BET awards performance!
Although reasons for why the breakdown has happened are still unclear, Chris Brown‘s management were in some ways relieved from the reactions to his Michael Jackson tribute performance at the BET Awards last night. Further more, Chris Brown who broke down whilst singing Pop-Ballad “Man In The Mirror” suddenly left the venue after his performance according to some sources. Maybe it’s just gone too far for Chris Brown to handle.
Chris Brown‘s previous year has been much of a roller-coaster, with the undivided attention of the media judging him whether it be good of bad. Some critics even has the nerve to say that Chris Brown‘s tribute to the King of Pop was all a huge publicity stunt to win over the hearts of those lost fans.
As far as MoMo knows, that Chris Brown is currently being treated by rehabilitation clinic in LA and Chris Brown‘s management are yet to give a statement about the matter – most likely they won’t; they would probably milk this story for as long as they can . We understand that what Chris Brown is wrong, but now this is enough! MoMo wishes him a speedy recovery, music needs you! Read the rest of this entry »

Chris Brown’s rumored girlfriend Jasmine Sanders celebrated her 20th birthday Tuesday night (Jun 22) and the couple hung out with Breezy’s BFF Teyana Taylor, who tweeted these photos of them in the car on the ride over to Playhouse nightclub in Los Angeles.
Teyana also mentioned on Twitter that she and Chris baked a cake for Jasmine before heading out to the club. (Is this where we say “aww?” LOL!). Good for you Chris Brown! Good for you! I know I keep saying this and don’t get me wrong, what he did was wrong, and that is now in the past; I think we all need to get over it! – It’s time the he and us both moved on! With RiRi every five minutes flaunting her stuff with hubby Matt Kemp.
I’m not surprised that Chris Brown wanted this to be all a secret! After being rejected by Visa offices for leaving for his tour i’m sure now that he’s learnt that any public activity needs to remain private. With ever Rihanna ass licker media hype will just attack him like vultures! In addition, Chris Brown has been scheduled back into the studio to work on another album which sources told us “he’s having a break now, but we need to work on some new material which is more current.”.
So finally Chris Brown takes my advice and lays low and start work on a new project with a fresh mind! To be fair there is nothing else he can do given all the circumstances. Chris Brown is set to honour Michael Jackson at this year’s BET awards.
But ain’t a thing wrong with Chris showing off his new boo thang. Rihanna (vomit!) has been doing it for months now! Scroll over (or under!) for Chris, his new boo Jasmine enjoying a night out on the town Read the rest of this entry »
