Rebecca Black’s “Friday” is off YouTube due to a copyright claim from … Rebecca Black. The “singing” “sensation” is in a legal battle with the song’s producers, Ark Music Factory.
RB alleges that Ark never gave her the master recordings for “Friday,” and they didn’t obtain the necessary publicity rights to advertise her as one of their “artists” and sell ringtones and other Fridayphernalia.
tl;dr: Friday, Friday, got a takedown on Friday. Everybody’s looking forward to the lawsuit, lawsuit.

Comedy’s Lovable Queen of Mean Lisa Lampanelli made good on her promise to donate $1,000 to the Gay Men’s Health Crisis for every Westboro Baptist Church member who showed up to protest her recent stand-up show in Topeka, taking to Twitter after the show to say “Thanks to these a-holes, $44,000 will be donated to the GMHC!!!”
She later bumped it up by $6k, tweeting “WBC inbreds counted 48 protesters, so I won’t quibble. I’ll make it an even $50,000!!!”
Best part? The donation will be made in the hate group’s name. Thanks WBC!

On May 17, 1861 — exactly 150 years ago — Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell and photographer Thomas Sutton (who invented the SLR camera that same year) used three projectors fitted with red, green, and blue filters to combine three black-and-white photos of a tartan ribbon shot through similar filters, thereby forming the world’s first color photo (above) and, consequently, the “basis of nearly all subsequent photochemical and electronic methods of colour photography.”

The moment Will Ferrell’s porn-stache hit the big screen seven years ago, adult film magnates everywhere must have known that Anchorman was primed for a porn spoof. (Why it’s taken this long to make, however, is beyond us — perhaps the porn parody phenomenon wasn’t quite in full swing by 2004.)
Yesterday, smut veteran Jack Lawrence tweeted that principal photography has begun on New Sensations’ Anchorman XXX: A Porn Parody, and he’s taking on the titular role.
