Look what the cat dragged in. It seems that Black Eyed Peas member Will.i.am is not as original an artist as he might boast himself to be. A singer and producer by the name of FrankMusik has recently accused Will.i.am of stealing his music. Of course, the man did it on twitter, because let?s face it, that?s the place where we report copyright infringements? and he also has such an elegant way of expressing himself: ?OK SO Cheryl Cole ft Will.i.am – Boy Like You IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF OF A TRACK I DID FOUND HERE!? Well, maybe somebody would have taken this seriously in other circumstances, but on twitter, fat chance! Looks like Will.i.am is free to expand his musical horizons even further.
Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am has commended Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd for his February 2008 apology to the “stolen generations”, saying it has inspired people around the world.
“I salute … Prime Minister Rudd,? said will.i.am, who is touring in Australia. ?If it wasn’t for that I believe there would not have been that wave of conscious shifting happening and I don’t think there would be an Obama.”
The star was speaking at the opening of an art project – entitled Nomad Two Worlds – which marked the reconciliation of Australia’s Aboriginal population with white Australia.
He said: “I think seeing a potential leader of a country as wonderful as Australia take a stand and do that inspired other world leaders and potential world leaders on what they can do … The future leaders of the world are breaking down the walls of what once held us back in the past. I really salute and I’m truly very inspired by your prime minister.”

Black Eyed Peas
The E.N.D – In Stores June 9, 2009
Rumors are going around that Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am is going to be working with rockers U2 on their upcoming album. Kanye West actually confirmed the news on his blog saying ?Will.i.am is producing U2?s next album. I?m sure it will be dope as s? judging from the crazy beats he?s done in the past 3 years!? will.i.am has also commented on the news saying ?I would love to do something with them. If that ever happens it would be a dream come true! I went to Bono?s house. He has these summer parties and I went and had great food. It was the best. Those guys are the nicest people in the world.?
Hip hop producer, rapper and now, actor. will.i.am has been cast to play Kestrel/John Wraith in the new ?X-Men Origins: Wolverine? movie which is set for release next year. According to Wiki, the character he?s playing was part of Team X along with Wolverine, Sabretooth, Maverick, Mastodon, and Silver Fox. Kestrel is a powerful teleporter capable of getting the team out of sticky situations after their job was finished. His alter ego is John Wraith. Like the other members of Team X, he was given an artificial age suppressant so he was likely much older than he looked. His time as a secret agent and a member of the Weapon X program has left John somewhat paranoid. His house is a veritable death trap, as is the yard around it – John trusts no one.
Interscope and Geffen Records merged into one on Thursday and along with the merger was the layoff of 60 people. Many of those laid off had been there for years. This is another sign that the music industry is dying.
A music industry source is saying that the biggest reasons for the merger and cutbacks were the huge failures of the albums of will.i.am, Nicole Scherzinger and Eve. The last two aren?t even out yet but are projected to be big losses. The insider says ?It cost $18 million to make and market those three albums – all bombs. Jimmy Iovine [the head of Interscope responsible for the layoffs] is the most hated man in music today!?
The Victoria?s Secret Fashion Show, apart from jiggling body parts and feathers, saw a lot of musical performances on Thursday. Too bad we have to wait for about two weeks to see it all.
Will.I.Am. opened the show by singing/rapping live. He did two songs including his current single ?Got It From Your Momma?. Seal also performed a couple of songs on the show. One even featured his model wife Heidi Klum. And she sang live too!
But we all want to hear about the Spice Girls right? The show was their first performance in nearly ten years. I say, they could have done better. The girls performed ?Stop? and their current single ?Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)?. Imagine, Heidi sang live but the girls lipsynched!
Rapper Kanye West was scheduled to perform at tonight?s Victoria’s Secret fashion show but had to cancel a number of appearances due to the tragic loss of his mother Dr. Donda West. Black Eyed Peas singer Will.i.am will step up and fill in for Kanye for the big show. Keep the faith Kanye, I lost my mother a couple months ago in a similar situation and its not easy but be strong and I know you can be. Just remember God always and morals and values your mother taught you. And that?s very nice of all those who try and fill up for the professional commitments of people who cannot under such circumstances fulfill theirs. Some people like the organizers are very though on singers or be it any other field that what may come they have to fulfill their commitments, in such case when you do not have the mental strength to stand on stage and deliver it?s better to ask a friend to fill into your shoes.
