LAVIGNE DENIES ‘RIPPING OFF SONG’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:08 pm

Pop star AVRIL LAVIGNE has hit out at claims her song Girlfriend copies a 1970s track by the band the RUBINOOS.
Tommy Dunbar claims the Canadian singer’s Girlfriend hit borrows heavily from the 1978 song, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend, which he wrote with then-Rubinoos’ road manager James Gangwer.
They have filed a copyright lawsuit against the Canadian singer.
But Lavigne insists she wrote Girlfriend with musician Luke Gottwald - and it bears no similarity to the Rubinoos song.
Lavigne writes on her blog, "You may have heard some news that two guys who wrote for some band from the 1970s I have never in my life heard of called the "Rubinoos" are trying to sue me. They have a song called ‘I Want To Be Your Boyfriend’ that has no musical similarities to the song "Girlfriend" that Luke Gottwald and I wrote together.
"They claim that a small part of the lyrics are the same and are saying that I took these from them. I had never heard this song in my life and their claim is based on five words! All songs share similar lyrics and emotions. As humans we speak one language.
"Off the top of my head, two other songs that I can immediately think of with this type of lyric are ‘Hey, hey, you, you get off of my cloud’ by the Rolling Stones and ‘Hey little girl I want to be your boyfriend’ by the Ramones. Simply put, I have been falsely accused of ripping their song off. Luke and I have done nothing wrong and there is no merit to their claim."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:59 pm

Gig-goers who attended last Sunday’s (01Jul07) Concert For Diana have been criticised for exploiting fellow fans of late British royal the Princess of Wales.
Souvenir programmes from the event have appeared on auction website eBay, with some selling for over $240 (£120) to admirers across the globe - despite retailing for £10 ($20) on concertfordiana.com.
A senior official says, "Not only is the official website undercutting the market, but all the proceeds go to charity." The 128-page booklets contain unseen childhood photographs of the late Princess, who was killed in a car accident in Paris, France, in 1997.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:56 pm

Rocker JOHN MAYER has hit back at critics of Saturday’s (07Jul07) Live Earth extravaganza, labelling those that dismiss the climate change awareness-raising event "counter-productive".
Mayer, who played at the New Jersey leg of Live Earth, is pleased the global series of gigs is highlighting the problems caused by global warming.
Speaking before taking the stage, Mayer said, "I feel this counter claim that’s taking place today about whether or not it needs to be done, it’s counter-productive.
"We want to be healthier and some people are debating whether we need to be and I just don’t get it because if you could be healthier, why wouldn’t you be? I don’t understand what the counter point is."

Gore intended to host a concert on the National Mall - but US congress banned it.
The former US Vice President tells CNN, "A couple of global warming naysayers used parliamentary tricks in the Congress to block (a concert on the National Mall). Well, instead of the cavalry riding to the rescue, the American Indians came to the rescue."
