(WIDK by John Latchaw) – But it isn’t stealing if it’s called sampling, right?

After being accused last week of using a beat that was almost identical to “Rebound” by producer Arty, hip-hop star will.i.am admits that he did, in fact, steal it for his song “Let’s Go” with Chris Brown.

The Huffington Post reports that will.i.am praised Arty as a producer, and originally had changed the song enough that it wasn’t such a blatant copyright infringement.

“I got in touch with Arty and showed it to him, did a different version to it ’cause I asked him [to] make it newer ’cause I don’t just wanna take your song and rap over it,” he said. “But in a year’s time, time’s gone by [and] we preferred writing over and using the [original] rebound. Something happened and the clearance … hopefully we resolved the issue.”

Chris Brown tweeted that he didn’t care.

(WIDK by John Latchaw) – It seems like Reese Witherspoon isn’t the only one expecting special treatment.

Hot mess Tara Reid was extremely angered when she wasn’t allowed to benefit from a discount reserved for A-list celebrities at a Los Angeles All Saints store.

According to The Huffington Post, after being turned down, Reid “began to scream at [the employees] and was escorted out” of the store.

Allegedly, Tara Reid gets a discount from stores across the pond–most likely due to her stint on Celebrity Big Brother.

However, some things just don’t translate, and Tara Reid is one of them.

The celebrity pair that got engaged via Twitter announced that they will be having an “underwater-themed” wedding.

According to Dlisted, tattoo artist Kat Von D told People that her and Deadmau5 are “really into” a story about a human octopus, and thus will have an aquatic twist to their nuptials.

Kat’s dress will also have “iridescent teals, blues, and deep violet ombré gradients.”

Ah, the life of a 6-year-old millionaire; Isabella Barrett explains what it’s like to have such a fortune from participating in beauty pageants and the Toddlers and Tiaras reality show. 

“I’m a superstar, I have my own ­jewellery line and I just love being the boss. I never lose at anything and ­almost every pageant I enter, I win,” said Isabella.

Instead of trips to fast-food restaurants while on the road, Isabella enjoys ordering filet mignon steaks and lobster from room service at five-star hotels, reports Mirror Online.

Isabella started pageants two years ago, and her mom Susanna just wishes that she doesn’t turn out like other child stars… specifically Britney Spears.
