    William and Kate are as about as fun as watching a snail move over wet grass. They are a total borefest. I love Nelly she is stunningly beautiful. And about Avril, Chantal Kreviazuk, who is awesome by the way, said a few days ago she plagiarised contagious on her new album and that avril never wrote he own songs, so I totally believe the guys.

    Aww, I'm happy for Nelly Furtado, I think she is sooo pretty.

    Who the heck went to Divine Brown for an interview??? Gosh, I guess it is a slow news day.

    Yes, it has been confirmed to be a slow news day with the mentioning of a Laguna Beach "star". LOL!!!!!

    No, I don't think she was married, she had a child with her ex-boyfriend, DJ Jasper, and then they broke up 2 years later in 2005. She just keeps her personal business on the down low...ha ha ha. Many people could learn from her.

    Avril totally ripped off that song. They are way too similar for it to be an accident. And since she already has another writer claiming that she repeatedly steals from others, this isn't really a shock. I wonder if any other lawsuits will follow from other writers.

    Yay for Nelly! Now come back home, get married in Victoria and show our town a party!!!

    I'm so happy Will and Kate are back together. When they broke up I knew it wasn't going to last.

    Cinammon, Nelly has a 3 year old daughter, Nevis. And she does keep her life on the DL. When I heard she had a baby, I didn't even know she was pregnant to begin with.

    I'm happy for Nelly and for William & Kate.
    Avril's song does have a similar chorus...
    (hey, hey, you, you I don't like your GF) as opposed to (hey, hey, you, you I wanna be your BF) but that's the only part that was similar in the song. I think the lawsuit is a little frivolous, but she should have probably asked them for permission before using their tag.

    really Deba? Who is that guy?

    Anyway, I agree Nelly manages to keep her love life on the DL - some starlets should learn that. I hope she's happy. She is very pretty.

    Avril - don't like her song, so really...dont care..if she plagrized too bad for her didnt they teach you in school not to copy other's work.

    Good for Kate & Wills...

    -Congrats to Nelly!
    -Divine Brown......my oh my.
    -Avril's song is obviously very similar to their song. But who knows if they can make a case for it.

    Yes, it is just one little part that she copied, BUT it is the hook of the song! It is the chorus, the main focus that the rest of the 2 minutes are built around.

    She needs to pay them publishing...

    I'm glad Wills and Kate are back together. Smiling

    I listened to the original song (yes Im gonna call it the original...) and the chorus and rhythm are spot on, the "Hey hey, you you, I wanna be your [boyfriend]". What are the odds? Slim to none, maybe they'll stop playing that flipping annoying song on the radio now!

    Yeah, just that little part that is like the only memorable part of the song!

    I wonder if she's regretting putting her name on the the songs now...since she's probably as much of a songwriter as somebody whose letter to the editor is published is a journalist.

    It's pop music. They don't actually write.

    I can't stand Nelly. She had to make some comment at the Grammys (which are a joke I won't even get into) about how she wasn't a new artist and she's been working hard for a long time. As if that makes her special? Lots of hard-working artists who don't rely on a producer to make their music listenable never get the recognition. Get off yourself.

    That's ok that Kate and William are back together. I always thought his brother Harry as the cute one.

    I'm glad Avril got caught...I can't stand her! And there were some accusations made about her that she had copied someone else's song and didn't give her credit....she sucks!
    And Jessica is a tool, LOL

    Yay for Nelly, I hope she's found her one true love. Avril.. well she's sooo sold out, I respected her at the beginning... but since she grew breast... she's britney's biggest competitor. William and Kate, I just hope it's true.. but I don't take anything that comes out of THE SÜN.. talk about trash tabloids!

    Yeah, Avril copped the opening drum riff and the hook. Just because the band she swiped it from wasn't all that well known doesn't mean she didn't lift stuff from the song. She (or her real songwriter) ABSOLUTELY did.

    Yay! Congrats to Nelly I love her, I heard the Avril song against the other song on You Tube, it is sooo similar hopefully her plagarizing ass will get what's coming to her, apparently she plagarized off another Canadian female singer.

    Does anyone remember when "The Party" (the band made up of members from the 90's Mickey Mouse Cluc, or "MMC") covered the song I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend? I had it on a mix tape with Mariah Carey, Brandy and the Beach Boys that I got for my 10th birthday, haha. I haven't been able to find it on the internet, but it's even easier to tell the similarities with the Avril song.

    Good for Kate and William. I've always liked her, but then I tend to root for the people who get a lot of crap from the press and public.

    Yay Nelly. I've never seen her kid.

    avril rips off everyone and claims to be individual. then she'll say she "never claimed to be anything." girlfriend sounds exactly like that i wanna be your boyfriend. either she has heard of the song, or she doesn't do any of the songwriting and producing she claims to do.
