David LaChapelle is suing Rihanna for similarities between the singers 'S&M' video and photos from his collection.
According to Yahoo! News, the photographer is seeing red over his photos being "the inspiration" for 'S&M'. The video which stars a scantily clad Rihanna has already seen a lot of controversy because of it sexually aggressive lyrics and visuals - being banned in several countries.
No telling how this will play out in the court, but you can take a look for yourself.
What this really boils down to is, "Fuck you? Pay me!" from LaChapelle' end.
There is so much biting going on in the industry, its hard to tell who is who anymore. In an industry that mostly doesn't applaud originality and sticks to the same tried and true marketing schemes, can anyone really get upset anymore at this type of stuff? I mean, we keep buying it and they keep giving it to us. It is after all just 'S&M'
