Kris Jenner, the mom and manager of reality star, Kim Kardashian, made a very low budget music music video in the 1980s, when she was her age, about hanging out with her friends in Los Angeles, California and it could almost be on "America's Funniest Home Videos" filed under "No, Mommy Didn't!"
Kim Kardashian
Much like her publicity loving daughter, the singing on the music video left much to be desired, but credit for doing it without AutoTune. However, unlike her daughter, Jenner's debut song wasn't blatantly stolen (at least I hope Kris Jenner's is original). Either way, I don't believe Jenner's video will be the next "Friday" but there are a couple similarities to Rebecca Black.
The Kardashian Christmas Card
Side Bar: you know Jenner's teen daughters are embarrassed that their mom put that video on YouTube. That's like a teenager's worst nightmare - mommy singing on YouTube. Show of hands, how many of you would want your mommy singing on YouTube. Yea, that's what I thought...

Rick Perry's "Strong" ad, featured in his presidential campaign, is a hit on You Tube with over 6,700,000 views in one week and rising. The ad challenges President Obama's 'War on Religion.' The Texas Governor, who states he is a conservative Christian, struck a chord with audiences.
Barack Obama
Obama used the Christian religion to get into office, then quickly turned his back on it, in favor of certain campaign donors' unethical private interests that have eroded the moral fiber of America and openly contradicted the Bible. He is not worthy of the Christian vote. The corruption Obama has complied with is astonishing.

It seems like only yesterday, it was the first annual MTV O Awards, well it was, as they are having it twice in one year. The awards recognizes recording artists in the area of digital music on the internet, also incorporating social networking in its categories. As was to be expected, YouTube star, Justin Bieber, has been nominated for awards. Bieber is up against the usual suspects, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.
Side Bar: At the last MTV O Awards, Kanye West won the prize for "Best Tweets" on Twitter. Somebody at MTV must be smoking something. Kanye? "Best Tweets"? More like "Best Crazy Tweets."

Rebecca Black
Three months ago, the Judiciary Report stated a legal battle was underway at Ark Music Factory over the Rebecca Black song and video "Friday" (Legal Fight Breaks Out Over Rebecca Black's Unoriginal "Friday").
The language that was being bantered about between the two parties, had an adversarial tone to it. But nonetheless, they denied their was any real problem. Fast-forward three months and the "Friday" video has been yanked from YouTube by Black's family and they have retained an attorney for a legal fight over the rights to the song and video. Clearly, the discussions were not amicable for the parties to reach such an impasse.

Legal Fight Breaks Out Over Rebecca Black's Unoriginal "Friday"
Have the iTunes music charts lessened the significance of the Billboard music charts? It appears so. In a sign of how much the music game has changed, people are more frequently invoking the iTunes digital downloads charts, as a measure of success, rather than the Billboard music charts, which are more corruptible and open to payola, as air play still figures into tabulations.
As a result, songs by internet stars such as Rebecca Black, have placed higher on the iTunes Charts, which is based on digital sales, than artists such as Beyonce and Rihanna. This is not a negative development, as it is leveling the playing field, much in the same manner YouTube has done for those that can't get on MTV or BET.
It should be noted, iTunes does not include sales of physical CDs, only albums in digital format. However, for indie artists, iTunes is better than nothing and has become a useful tool in living their dreams of being an entertainer.
Rebecca Black
One has to remember, Billboard has been so corrupted from its inception, for a very long time, black artists were largely kept off all mainstream charts, even though they outsold some of their white counterparts, in blacklisting that began to loosen its grip twenty years ago. For many years, country music was also disregarded by the Billboard album charts, as a small, select group of labels heads, who set the agenda in music, deemed it too backwater and unsophisticated - in spite of the fact country artists were outselling pop and rock stars.
However, Hollywood is not happy with the current developments, regarding the impact of the iTunes charts and YouTube, as aspects of it are out of their control (surprise, surprise). You see, Hollywood, the music industry included, runs like the mafia (because they are the mafia). The industry is chock full of antitrust, monopolies, extensive price fixing, payola, Billboard chart rigging and racketeering, all illegal under U.S. law.
For a time, the industry loudly complained and wanted to own a great chunk of iTunes and collect more royalties, after Apple rescued them from the destructive clutches of Sean Fanning (Napster). As they see it, they should be the only ones to make money, even if the copyrights, patents and trademarks involved that comprise iTunes, do not belong to them. That's basically Hollywood's attitude towards everything - unbridled greed and theft.

YouTube star, Rebecca Black, who became famous for her internet song and its accompanying low budget music video "Friday" which were dubbed the worst ever, has been making the rounds on television shows and the red carpet.
The 13-year-old student, was recently spotted at the premiere of a Hollywood film, in Los Angeles, California. Her video "Friday" has crossed the 100 million viewed mark on YouTube. This feat surpasses the guy she has a crush on, 17-year-old singer, Justin Bieber, whose video "Baby" is a few million views shy of that figure.

Google's YouTube enables people to embedded videos on other websites. However, this feature reduces a video's viewer count, which is often used to gauge popularity. It appears embedding reduces the view count, leading some YouTube account holders to "disable embedding."
Google should improve this feature. Internet advertising companies, such as Google's Adsense, use software to track each time an ad is shown and clicked on publisher's websites. YouTube should adopt such a feature for embedding, to keep track of how often a video is shown on another site.
Rebecca Black
13-year-old YouTube star, Rebecca Black, whose song and video "Friday" have been bashed all over the internet, has been the recipient of death threats. The culprits are demanding Black remove her music from the internet or they will kill her.
It seems rather extreme to make such threats and against a child. This misconduct is completely illegal and being investigated by the police. The negative feedback hasn't slowed Black down. She is prepping her debut album.

An adorable young girl named Sadie B has done a Christian spoof of Rebecca Black's viral hit "Friday" entitled "Sunday." Only she has made the song about going to church and having faith in God. She has a nice voice and the theme is quite appropriate.
Miley Cyrus
18-year-old singer, Miley Cyrus, slammed YouTube stars, by stating, "It should be harder to be an artist." Cyrus was making reference to artists such as Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black, who've gained fame from the frequently visited website YouTube.
What Cyrus fails to understand is the terrible politics, corruption, bribery and payola that goes on in the music industry. The entire industry is rigged. It operates as a monopoly and outsiders are not welcome. Major labels have turned to acts of violence to enforce this mafia-like rule.
Justib Bieber
Therefore, for the outsider seeking to expose their music to a global audience, YouTube is an outlet to do so. It levels the playing field to some degree. As a result, there are a number of very talented artists on YouTube, gaining exposure, while searching for their big break. Justin Bieber is the most successful to date, having sold 10,000,000 records worldwide.
Cyrus' dad became famous as a singer in the 1990s and ushered her into the entertainment industry as a singer and actress, using his connections. Therefore, she avoided much of the horrible abuse and exploitation many aspiring artists go through.
Rebecca Black
Cyrus has no clue what it's like, in a depraved industry that preys on young newcomers, calling them nobodies fit for theft and financial and sexual exploitation. Cyrus had the easy way to fame thanks to her dad. The Judiciary Report is not knocking that, but Cyrus fails to see both sides of the issue.

17-year-old singer, Justin Bieber, sent a shout out to one of his admirers, 13-year-old singer, Rebecca Black, who has tried to follow in his footsteps, by releasing a song and video on YouTube, in a bid at finding fame. Black requested a duet with Bieber, sending the plea out during a nationally televised interview.
Rebecca Black
Yesterday, during a stop on Bieber's "My World" tour, he sang a snippet and slightly new rendition of Black's song "Friday." Somebody better go check that Black didn't pass out in her room after watching it. Then, Bieber mockingly sang a bit of "Oops I did It Again" by Britney Spears.

Justin Bieber: I'm famous, yet I still have to push my own luggage
17-year-old singer, Justin Bieber, has quietly poked fun at 13-year-old YouTube star, Rebecca Black, over her viral hit song "Friday." Black went on television and during a nationally televised interview, went out on a limb and asked Bieber, "Justin, if you're watching this right now, would you do a duet with me." Well, looks like the limb broke, as it did not pay off resulting in a duet.
Justin Bieber's girlfriend Selena Gomez is not happy about the duet request from Black
Black has not officially heard from Bieber on the duet request, but he left an ominous message on his Twitter page, regarding the lyrics to her song that are being teased all over the internet. The Bieber wrote, "Sunday comes after Saturday? weird." I was so tired when I read it, I thought to myself "Doesn't it?" What's with these kids playing with the days of the week. Stop giving my brain more work.
Rebecca Black
As for Black, poor baby, that sounds like a "no" on the duet. While some state Black is laughing all the way to the bank, earning an estimated $27,000 per week off "Friday" (is she taking loan applications) the Judiciary Report does not believe that will compensate for the teasing she is getting online, as she is a very young girl and is taking it personally. Money won't fix that.

13-year-old Rebecca Black tried her hand at singing, via a $2,000 check her mother cut to a local recording studio. A low budget music video was made to accompany the recorded song entitled "Friday." It was then uploaded to YouTube.
Rebecca Black wants to do a duet with Justin Bieber
To date she has received 34,000,000 views and she is reportedly making $27,000 per week, but there is just one problem - people reportedly really hate the song...and the video clip. It has been labeled "the worst music video ever" and the song "Friday" is simultaneously being insulted as well. They are treating her like it's "Black Friday" (get the joke: her last name is "Black" and the song is called "Friday").
Black "Friday"?
Black is being bashed as all over the internet. While she sings better than Britney Spears and Rihanna, the song "Friday" gets repetitively irritating at some points in the track. However, somebody must be buying it, as it is on the iTunes chart.

Cathy Cruz Marrero, fell into a mall pond in America and has filed suit. She is suing due to the fact mall security uploaded the funny video to YouTube and it has become a viral hit embarrassing her.
Marrero stated she has been exposed to public embarrassment, but the poor quality of the video obscures her face and the only reason people know is because she came forward. Her attorney, James Polyak, is pursing the legal action on her behalf. I'm not going to lie, when I saw the video I laughed and played it over...three times.
For the record, I'm sorry that happened to you, as that is embarrassing, but even if I had fallen into that fountain while texting, I would have laughed and my family would never let me forget it (hey, sorry, we're just that kind of family). That's life. People fall. What can you do. However, the mall employee that posted it to YouTube did not have to do so.
A 22-year-old schizophrenic college student, Jared Loughner, opened fire at Safeway Supermarket in Tucson, Arizona that was hosting a meet and greet, with U.S. Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords. The 40-year-old politician, who is married to NASA astronaut, Mark Kelly, was shot in the head and survived. However, there were six fatalities, among them, a 9-year-old girl. A federal judge, John Roll, was killed in the attack, making Loughner eligible for the death penalty.
Based on the videos Loughner posted to YouTube, one can safely deduce, he is an atheist, who is a paranoid schizophrenic. The videos make no sense, are full of existentialism and items regarding Loughner trying out to be in the U.S. military and resenting them giving him a mini "Bible."
Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly
Loughner choice of music, such as the satanic sounding rock track "Let The Bodies Hit The Floor" by Drowning Pool, testifies to his deteriorated mental state. He also speaks of "mind control" and "brainwashing" which is common among cults. He additionally complained about the economy and the U.S. dollar ("currency").
U.S. President Barack Obama condemned the incident in a White House press conference. The state of the U.S. economy is damaging the mental health of many Americans. According to a study published in November 2010, "1 in 5 Americans are suffering from mental illness" and over 6 million Americans contemplated suicide, as they are jobless.
Jared Loughner
The Judiciary Report has repeatedly emphasized the importance of not wasting opportunities to create jobs. The site emphatically warned before the stimulus money was distributed that the government should have tight reins on the funds, to ensure it was not stolen or squandered and that's exactly what happened due to lax controls (Obama Calls For Job Summit).
President Barack Obama
There have been a number of publicized incidents of violence and despondency, regarding Americans who have lost their jobs and homes. People are suffering and the government has not taken the proper precautions to ensure a speedy financial recovery. It's been a spate of meaningless press releases, touting empty numbers that do not fool analysts that know better. It's time to stop the charade and make the economy right.

Nearly 1 in 5 Americans had mental illness in 2009
CHICAGO, Nov 18 (Reuters Life!) - More than 45 million Americans, or 20 percent of U.S. adults, had some form of mental illness last year, and 11 million had a serious illness, U.S. government researchers reported on Thursday.
Young adults aged 18 to 25 had the highest level of mental illness at 30 percent, while those aged 50 and older had the lowest, with 13.7 percent, said the report by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration or SAMHSA.
The rate, slightly higher than last year's 19.5 percent figure, reflected increasing depression, especially among the unemployed, SAMHSA, part of the National Institutes of Health, said.
"Too many Americans are not getting the help they need and opportunities to prevent and intervene early are being missed," Pamela Hyde, SAMHSA's administrator, said in a statement... A copy of the report is available at: http://oas.samhsa.gov
