Robin Thicke Wasn’t Bribing Dept of Children

Pics have surfaced of Robin Thicke and his son, Julian, at Nobu in Malibu … the lunch Paula Patton claims was essentially an attempt to bribe the Dept. of Children and Family Services with sushi. TMZ reports Robin’s team has laughed at Paula’s claims, and says the monitor — Mike, who’s wearing the hat — sat at a separate table and only drank water. The monitor is required by the judge to be present the entire time Robin is with his 6-year-old son. The monitor was sitting at a table with someone from the Dept. of Children and Family Services, who was actually there to monitor the monitor after Paula complained about him. He too, we’re told, only drank water. As for why they went to Nobu … it’s Julian’s fav. The post Robin Thicke Wasn’t Bribing Dept of Children appeared first on Today's Evil Beet Gossip.

Robin Thicke was high while recording ‘Blurred Lines’ (and throughout 2013)

Robin Thicke is one of the biggest losers out there. He treats women like shit, he pathetically stalked his soon-to-be ex-wife when she finally left him, he’s full of himself, he constantly lies about his accomplishments… you get the gist. We’re here to talk about that last part, today. You see, the estate of Marvin Gaye is suing Robin and Pharrell, who produced the track, for ripping off Marvin’s 1977 hit, ‘Got to Give It Up’. In fact, some reports even say that Robin specifically asked Pharrell to write a track that was reminiscent of Marvin’s, though now Robin says that was a lie, as was pretty much everything else he said throughout 2013 because he was actually pretty high and drunk all year. From Slate: After objecting to a mash-up of the two songs (“Mozart would be rolling in his grave right now”), he backtracks on comments he previously made to GQ about asking Pharrell to write a song in the vein of “Got to Give It Up.” He now says he made the whole story up to fortify his wounded ego: “After making six albums that I wrote and produced myself, the biggest hit of my career was written and produced by somebody else and I was jealous and I wanted some of the credit.” But the most striking revelation comes when Thicke tries to explain his role—or lack thereof—in the song’s creation: Q: Were you present during the creation of “Blurred Lines”? Thicke: I was present. Obviously, I sang it. I had to be there. Q: When the rhythm track was being created, were you there with Pharrell? Thicke: To be honest, that’s the only part where—I was high on Vicodin and alcohol when I showed up at the studio. So my recollection is when we made the song, I thought I wanted—I —I wanted to be more involved than I actually was by the time, nine months later, it became a huge hit and I wanted credit. So I started kind of convincing myself that I was a little more part of it than I was and I—because I didn’t want him—I wanted some credit for this big hit. But the reality is, is that Pharrell had the beat and he wrote almost every single part of the song. He later says he continued to exaggerate his participation in the making of the song to “help sell records” and because he was not sober in a single interview that he gave in 2013. That doesn’t make him look very good, of course, but it also helps undercut the comments he’s made that seem to bolster the Gaye estate’s case. LOL, okay, idiot. I mean, how sad and pathetic is this guy? He needs to go away for a long, long time. Also, he needs to be sued and forced to pay up for deliberately copying someone else’s song. I don’t for one second believe that he “made up” the story about asking for a song like Marvin Gaye’s. What would be the point of that lie? That’s not “taking credit” for anything – that’s admitting that you’re a shithead who has no originality and wants to copy off of something else that was actually good. Pharrell’s a dumbass, as well, and should have to pay up for going along with that nonsense. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

What in Bubblegum Hell is the Robin Thicke, Jessie J & DJ Cassidy ‘Calling All Hearts’ Video?

I have a serious problem, you guys. I hate Robin Thicke. I hate this song. Jessie J is only marginally bearable anymore… and yet I woke up with ‘Calling All Hearts’ – which is apparently actually DJ Cassidy‘s song that the other two are featuring on – in my head. And I’ve only heard it ONCE. That’s all it took! I’m not sure what that means. Is it kind of a decent pop song after all, or am I being subject to some serious brainwashing? I vote the latter. The most confusing thing about this video is how these three people came together for this song in particular. It’s pseud0-disco to listen to, but the video has B-Boys and Girls and way too much pink shit. The lyrics and the concept are terrible, DJ Cassidy is… whatever, Robin Thicke serves no purpose, Jessie J thinks she’s starring in her own Broadway musical and it’s all a disaster. So why is the chorus on repeat in my brain? HELP ME! Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Turns Out, Pharrell Is Not So Smart

Pharrell is all the rage again these days, picking up awards left and right and really taking over mainstream pop. Between the success of his collaboration with Daft Punk and now ‘Happy’, which is a great fucking song and does indeed make one rather joyous, he’s riding high. Of course, we have to remember the start of this comeback, of sorts, which was his work with Robin Thicke on ‘Blurred Lines’, the worst song in history, and yet one of the catchiest. We all know Robin Thicke is a scumbag. Every single one of his songs is about how great his dick is and how you DEFINITELY want a bit of it, even if you say you don’t. After all, you just need some convincing, so don’t bother resisting, because he’s going to give it to you even if you say no. Robin Thicke is a borderline vocal rapist and everyone knows it, but apparently that’s not how Pharrell sees it. No, Pharrell thinks ‘Blurred Lines’ wasn’t about sex at all! In fact, he wouldn’t have liked all those naked women in the video if there was anything sexual about it. UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH????????? Sorry, my brain just exploded. From Time Out: “There were lots of women who wanted to understand what we meant by those lyrics. But the two lines go: ‘You don’t need no papers/That man is not your maker’. “Boom! Lyrically, you’re done: there’s nothing else to talk about. ‘That man is not your maker’. Plus that treatment was written and shot by a female director, who’s a feminist.” “Is it sexist when you walk around in a museum and a lot of the statues have their boobs out? The women in that video weren’t doing anything sexual: they were only dancing. “Just because they had their boobs out, that was ‘sexist’. I didn’t do anything sexually suggestive to any of those women, I wouldn’t allow it. I have respect and I know the message that I want to put out. I’m a fun guy’.” Okay, I… don’t really know where to start with the sheer idiocy/ignorance here. First of all, saying TWO LINES in an entire song about how a man is not your maker does not give you a clean slate to do whatever the fuck else you wanna do for the rest of the track… especially when the rest of the track is you telling her that that OTHER guy might not tell her what to do, but YOU will because YOU know she “wants it”. And yes, your idea of a “fun” time as a guy is to have naked women dancing around you. If this wasn’t sexual – which, in the great words of Judge Judith Scheinlin, don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining – why would they need to be naked? What artistic purpose did it serve? That you fully clothed men are singing about convincing a woman how bad she wants you while they dance around you naked with pouty lips? Christ almighty. Sorry, Pharrell, not buying your sack of shit today. He’s either arrogant as shit and thinks we’re all stupid or HE is actually that stupid. I can’t decide which would be worse.
