WATCH KANYE WEST GO CRAZY ON ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW!!!
Kanye West is being sued over the Yeezus single "New Slaves." Hungarian composer Gabor Presser is claiming that he is owed money for a sample that was used at the end of the track, TMZ reports. Presser says that Kanye reached out for permission to use the sampleand that he agreed, but only on the condition that a formal deal would be arranged. According to documents obtained by TMZ, Kanye sent Presser a $10,000 advance, but the check was never cashed. Now, Presser is asking for at least $2.5 million.
This isn"t the first time Kanye has been sued over a Yeezus sample. Back in 2013,Ponderosa Twins Plus One singer Ricky Spicer said he wasn"t properly compensated for the sample used in "Bound 2." Earlier this year, Kanye and TIDAL were both sued by disgruntled fans who claimed they were deceived into signing up for the service. Kanye West"s album, The Life of Pablo,was initially pegged as a TIDAL exclusive, drawing subscribers, but was soon after released to outlets like Apple Music and Spotify.

San Antonio Spurs vs OKC Thunder - Game 6 - Full Highlights - May 12, 2016 - 2016 NBA Playoffs
Friday was Enes Kanter"s 24th birthday. And the Oklahoma City Thunder center enjoyed it immensely. He chatted with The Oklahoman on Friday after practice.
Q: How much fun are these Western Conference Finals?
A: You know what? I"m having the best birthday, because the years before, I was at home, eating food and getting fat. Now I"m trying to battle for the Western Conference Finals. Definitely the best birthday. I"m definitely having fun. Not just me. Everybody"s having fun. We just have to go out there and play basketball and have some fun.
What did your teammates do for your birthday?
They just sang. I was expecting some gifts. But nobody brought me anything. That"s horrible.
Does anyone sing particularly well?
Cam (Payne) and Josh (Huestis) did. I wanted Cam to dance. He didn"t dance. He actually likes to dance.
The Thunder big men dominated Game 1, but the Warrior big men dominated Game 2? How do you reverse that?
The second game, they came out ready. They were physical. They got like 15 offensive rebounds. That"s definitely unacceptable. The third game, we just have to come out with the same mindset we had in the first game. Bring a lot of physicality. Use our size. Because we have really good bigs. Punish them down there. Just go out there and do our job.
You guys are doing a lot of switching on defense, which means when the Warriors screen, you"re suddenly guarding Steph Curry or Klay Thompson. How are you handling that?
It"s definitely different than every team we play against, because we"re switching, we"re blitzing. Chasing all those guards, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson. Different than what we did in the regular season. We"re going to adjust it and it"s going to work out really well for us. We"ve been really working on it.
WATCH: Popular Seal Beach Pier in Calif. up in flames; restaurant may have caught fire
SEAL BEACH >> Black smoke filled the sky and flames burned bright orange Friday morning as a fire inside the closed Rubys Diner at the end of the Seal Beach Pier burned for more than an hour.
PHOTOS: Blaze erupts at abandoned Rubys Diner on Seal Beach Pier
A fire started around 7:35 a.m. inside the restaurant, and firefighters were pumping water through standpipes at the end of the pier to try to contain the fire, but it spread underneath, Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi said.
Four fire boats from Long Beach Fire Department, one from the Orange County Sheriffs Department and Seal Beach Marine Safety responded to assist from the ocean, Concialdi said. Originally eight boats were called to help, but some didnt make it.
About 70 firefighters from OCFA, Long Beach and Huntington Beach also responded.
The fire was initially knocked down at 9:05 a.m., Concialdi said, but flames re-emerged around 10:45 a.m.
The pier does not have stability issues, but the structure has been destroyed, Concialdi said.
At some point Friday morning, a standpipe at the end of the pier malfunctioned, causing firefighters to rely more heavily on about 2,000 feet of hoses to battle the flames, Concialdi said.
The pier is a quarter-mile long, OCFA Capt. Larry Kurtz said. (Firefighters) have to lay down hose all the way to the building by hand and each of those rolls weighs about 90 pounds. Its very taxing work.
A firefighter was injured while battling the blaze and was taken to Los Alamitos Medical Center, Concialdi said.
OCFA and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigators began examining the charred remains of Rubys Diner and an adjacent structure around 11:30 a.m., although the buildings were still smoldering and roofs completely caved in.
Fire officials were investigating the remains of the building after the flames were extinguished. It was unclear how long it would take to determine a cause.
Electrical, gas and water lines run under the piers wooden planks and it was an electrical wiring short that caused a fire that badly burned the pier on May 15, 1992.

Rubys Diner closed in January 2013, and the building has been vacant and fenced off since then.
Michael Pless Jr., one of the owners of M&M Surfing School based in Seal Beach, said he was surfing when he smelled smoke before seeing flames under the pier.
Do I smell something cooking? he said he thought when he smelled the fire.
Shortly after, Pless said he saw six firefighters hanging off a Seal Beach Police Department patrol car speeding toward the fire.
David Gillispie, 26, was surfing with Pless and was about 200 feet away from the pier when the fire started.
There were chunks of wood falling into the water, Gillispie said.
Robert Christiansen, 61 of Anaheim was sitting on his beach chair facing the ocean when he spotted the smoke.
I thought Maybe theyre doing some sort of control cleanup fire; I hope its not what I think it is, he said.
But then he saw the smoke building up and emergency crews arriving.
Firefighters told the fishermen and pedestrians on the pier to vacate as the smoke continued to build.
Its pretty serious; hopefully theyll get it under control, Christiansen said.
Rachel Kuryan, who lives nearby, walked out to see the fire with her dog and a friend.
She said some of her fondest childhood memories involve going to the Seal Beach Pier with her family.
(Rubys) is where my mom would come for her birthday, Kuryan said. She doesnt even like hamburgers.
Kuryan hopes the pier, which is the second longest wooden pier in California, will be restored.
The good news, its a small section of the pier and hopefully it will be open very soon, Kurtz said.

Mike Posners I Took A Pill In Ibiza leads this weeks chart.
Pollution and the p**n industrytwo constants in 1970s Los Angelesbecome intertwined in a vast conspiracy that threatens the environment, the economy, and the lives of a colorful cast of characters in director Shane Blacks latest, The Nice Guys. After the death of a famous adult-film actress, private detective Holland March (Ryan Gosling) forms an unlikely alliance with enforcer Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) to track down a missing girl who holds the key to several murders. Black, who is known for Iron Man 3 and Lethal Weapon, cowrote the film with Anthony Bagarozzi and recruited production designer Richard Bridgland to bring the seedy vibe of the city to life.
Bridgland was immediately faced with a challenge: He would have to re-create 1970s Los Angeles in modern-day Atlanta. Atlanta is full of green trees, while L.A. has that wonderful stark desert look, says Bridgland. We had to imagine places with all the trees digitally removed. As long as I can find the right architectural elements, I hoped that I could add L.A. to it.
Fortunately, Atlanta had a few surprising gems that were perfect for the production. For a big scene that takes place at the residence of p**n king Sid Shattuck, Bridgland and his team found hip-hop producer Dallas Austins home, which is based on John Lautners Silvertop House. It was bizarre, Bridgland says. Here was this space-age Lautner house dropped into the suburbs of Atlanta. The citys Hilton Hotel proved to be the ideal setting to stage the 1978 L.A. Auto Show. It was built in 1976, and it pretty much hasnt changed since then, he says. We boarded over their tennis courts to create the auto-show opening party.
Bridgland drew on his extensive research, including old Super 8 films and documentary photographs, to add authentic period elements. I used classic 70s designers like Verner Panton quite heavily for the furniture, he notes. Even the Hollywood sign gets a 70s makeunder. The whole thing was was falling down. It just seemed like the perfect metaphor for what Shane was saying and what the city was about.
President Obama COMPLETE REMARKS at 2016 White House Correspondents" Dinner (C-SPAN)
Budding scientists are about to have their ideas heard in the Oval Office. The White House wants kids" science and technology ideas, and children from all over the country are invited to get involved. Students can thank Maryland third-grader Jacob Leggett for inspiring the opportunity, according to CBS Baltimore: while taking part in the sixth White House Science Fair, he asked President Obama whether he"d ever had a "kid science advisor." Though Leggett attended the fair in order to share his 3-D printer creations, his pitch would end up having a national impact.
On Thursday, Obama awarded both National Medals of Science and National Medals of Technology and Innovation, USA Today reported. While speaking in the East Room, he also announced his call for ideas from kid scientists. Though adults populate the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Obama wants to hear specifically from children.
Kids can submit science ideas to the White House through an online form. Obama is interested in students" strategies for tackling major problems, from climate change to cancer. He"s also hoping for kids" input on STEM education: how it"s working in schools across the country and how it can be improved. Children can share questions and let the president know what they"re working on in their communities.
Obama is a big believer in the importance of kids" contributions to scientific innovation. The White House shared his thoughts from the 2016 Science Fair:
One of the things I find so inspiring about these young thinkers is that they look at all these seemingly intractable problems as something that we can solve. There is a confidence when you are pursuing science. They don"t consider age a barrier. They don"t think, well, that"s just the way things are. They"re not afraid to try things and ask tough questions.
Since taking office, Obama established a reputation for being a strong supporter of the sciences. He committed to restoring "science to its rightful place" during his first inaugural address, according to MSNBC, and many of his policy decisions reflect that goal. The president reopened pathways to stem cell innovation that the Bush administration closed, advocated for integrity in the realm of research, and worked toward clean energy solutions for the country. During this year"s State of the Union, he announced the National Cancer Moonshot to support and accelerate oncology research, placing Vice President Biden at the helm. But just as Obama is dedicated to creating pathways for professionals to do their work more efficiently and effectively, he also appreciates the importance of raising a strong generation of young innovators to solve the problems of the future. Obama"s commitment to supporting kids in the sciences emerged when he founded the White House Science Fair, MSNBC reported; Obama said:
If you win the NCAA championship, you come to the White House. Well, if youre a young person and youve produced the best experiment or design, the best hardware or software, you ought to be recognized for that achievement, too. Scientists and engineers ought to stand side by side with athletes and entertainers as role models, and here at the White House were going to lead by example. Were going to show young people how cool science can be.
Obama isn"t just mobilizing children to pursue careers in science; he"s taking their input now. The White House form invites kids to share what they love most about STEM fields while also asking them to pitch ideas to make the "country work better using science and technology." All submissions are due by Friday, June 17, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The White House reported that there will be more opportunities to contribute going forward, so young scientists can count on their voices being heard.
