The Jimmy Page & Robert Plant Led Zeppelin Plagiarism - Top 5 Stolen Songs!

Is it a surprise that Stairway to Heaven was stolen from someone else? We don’t think it is.

NPR is reporting that Led Zeppelin superstars Robert Plant and Jimbo Page are being sued for the umpteenth time for plagiarism (yup, these boys steal music more frequently than a closeted high school quarterback trying to keep his Adam Lambert obsession a secret). 

To further underline the thievery of the Led Zeppelin frontmen, we’ve compiled a list of songs from their early albums. Under each song title is a portion of lyrics from that song. And while we've all heard these Led Zeppelin songs for years, we've taken it for granted that they were originals and never looked too closely at the lyrics. Welp, it's time to take a look. You WILL be shocked!

"Dazed and Confused"
Lyrics:

Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher, There's a thousand pretty women,
Waitin' out there, and they're all livin'
Devil may care and I'm just the devil with love to spare...
Viva Las Vegas...Viva Las Vegas... Viva Las Vegas...Viva Las Vegas 

If that reminds you of something, it’s probably this!:

"Good Times Bad Times"  

Lyrics:
When I'm drivin' in my car
And that man comes on the radio
And he's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say 

If that sounds familiar, it’s because you know it from here:

"Whole Lotta Love"
Lyrics:

If everybody had an ocean
Across the U. S. A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd see 'em wearingtheir baggies...
Huarachi sandals too
Surfin' U. S. A....
Surfin' U. S. A....
Surfin' U. S. A.... 

I know, you’re thinking there’s no way THOSE lyrics were stolen! But, yes, they were:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNypbmPPDco 


"Rock and Roll HQ"
Lyrics:

Put your glad rags on and join me hon'
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one
We're gonna rock around, rock rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'till broad daylight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight 

Are these lyrics familiar too? They should be:
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgdufzXvjqw

This one’s the most shocking — stealing lyrics before the song was published...
written...or even thought of!...

"Stairway to Heaven"

 Lyrics:
Don't go for second best baby
Put your love to the test
you know, you know you've got to -- Make him express
how he feels and maybe.
Then you'll know your love is real
You don't need diamond rings or -- eighteen-karat gold
oooh, oooh, oooh-ooo , oooh, oooh, oooh-ooo
And You've got to make him Ex -- press himself
Fancy cars that
go very fast
you know they never last no, no -- What you need
is a big strong hand
to Lift you to your higher
ground Make you feel like -- a queen on a throne 

You probably never realized it, but Stairways' lyrics are exactly like this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsVcUzP_O_8 

Hopefully, that zeppelin made of lead will finally drop! Oh, the humanity!!

North West -- His Name's a Punchline and His Dad's a Joke...Again

Hollywood Life Is reporting that there’s a report that it’s reported that some insider inside has inside information that Kim has a secret she’s kept secret from Kanye.   

Yes, the rag states that the rag the Sun is quoting some unnamed person that other unnamed people are buzzing about the buzz that Kim Kardashian had Kanye West’s baby without Kanye. While that sound you hear is a vein in West’s temple bursting, Hollywood life goes on to explain that Kim K had embryos frozen until Sweeps Month, when she was ready to get pregnant.

Hollywood Life jokes that this is a story for Maury. And, in a follow-up article, wittily states this is a story for Maury. Um, yeah, they made the same lame joke twice. We feel that the lameness of being that lame would be akin to just lamely using nonsense words over and over and over and over and over again and again and again, ultimately saying nothing. 

And Z!TV is  about  above such things.

Katt Williams -- Even Viral, Nobody Cares Who He Is

It's the viral video that just won't stop going viral.

Katt Williams, a black comedian who, along with actor Jeffrey Wright and rapper Nas, is known only to other African Americans, is in trouble yet again. 

While every site from TMZ to the Lehrer News Hour seems to be taking joy in mentioning the troubled (and we just mean his hair) comic (and his "jokes") got whupped by a 7th-grader (which Wikipedia writers have made a 12th-grader), NBC is the only site reporting the kid was 17 years old. 

The viraliest of video shows the elderly teen taunting the five-foot-five comedian before the comic throws a punch. At which point, the poor li'l child, a trained wrestler, takes the "comedian" down -- which is easy since he's already so low to the ground. 

The 7th grader is being charged as an adult. Y'know, because he is one. Katt Williams will be charged as an adult as soon as he starts acting like one.

Madonna Parking Scandal or Madonna’s Become Cranky In Her Old, Old...Old Age

New York City, where parking is a lot like the movie Batman v. Superman — you expect something simple that'll just take up a small portion of your day but instead you end up scarred for life, wondering how your entire day got eaten up by a frustrating turd of an experience.

According to celebrity stalker site TMZ, Madonna, who owns a $40M townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan (for those who don’t know NYC, the Upper East Side is the northern-most rich neighborhood on the east side of Manhattan Island — it’s also where dowdy old Manhattanites go to get rye bread and die quietly at home), has decided, in Jerry Seinfeld parlance, "NO PARKING FOR YOU!"

In secret, the lucky star apparently decided to paint the borderline of the curb in front of her home a ray-of-light "no parking" yellow — in spite of it being out of vogue — and threw up some sidewalk talk which read "Tenant Parking Only," essentially making it clear that they can't holiday near the material girl and like a prayer papa don't preach a justify my love cherish la isla bonita blahblahblah did I already use borderline?

Well, a neighbor noticed the phony signage and reported the lady singer to the city. Because, while yes, she can warn people not to park in front of her driveway, the 40 feet of curb space to the left is public parking, and she’s got no say over any of that.

Madonna's fake "Tenant Parking Only" signage included planting a post on city sidewalk property and actually embossing the sidewalk in big letters which read "OI, THIS HERE SPOT IS RESERVED FOR PEOPLE OO'VE NOT SEEN MOY VAH-JAYJAY, GOV!"

Or, perhaps I'm misremembering, it may have just read "No Parking."

Nevertheless, Mad Madge has been given a warning from the city to undo all the voodoo that she did do. And, in her ever-classy Madonna style, the old croner, er, crooner, took it all in stride and completely empathized with her neighbors’ frustration.

No. I'm of course being sarcastic...but not as sarcastic as this post from Mad's Instagram

Yes Bishes I am Madonna and that is my driveway and if people park in front of it i cant drive in my driveway! So sorry the city doesn't like the color yellow! We will paint a nice dull grey to keep our neighbors happy! Sorry! Im saying 3 extra Hail Mary's this Easter for this transgression!

Actual Instagram post:

If you look up "classy in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of Madonna. And, under it, a caption reading, "See Career Low."

Blake Shelton Doesn't Drink Too Much (Wait, Is It Opposite Day?)

Someone Was Clearly Running
with Scissors.

No Matter How Small We
Make This Image, the
Headline Can  Be Seen
From Space.

In an eye-opening, liquor-swilling, gullet-guzzling interview with singer, songwriter, The Voice host, and drunken Gwen Stefani hair dresser, Blake Shelton is seen swigging alcohol from a mason jar while telling Entertainment Tonight "reporter" Nancy O'Dell that his drinking is just part of the relationship he has with his fans, that it's all an act.


O'Dell for her part laughs along with him at the joke, except for the one moment where she clearly got a whiff of his breath:

Um...yeah. No caption required.

Last year, magazine-nobody-admits-to-buying InTouch Weekly covered Shelton with the

bright yellow sans-serif bold 123-font-size headline "Rehab for Blake." Shelton was not pleased, and, after downing a couple of bottles of Wild Turkey with a 6-pack chaser, Shelton filed a declaration.

In the declaration, Shelton denies ever being in rehab and, further, denies having been drunk at the time/places In Touch indicates, denies drinking with over-indulgence, denies ever being so drunk that he cheated on ex-wife Mini-Mate figure Miranda Lambert, denies walking through lobbies drunk, drinking before 11 a.m., drinking in photos on Twitter where he himself declared himself drunk, and even knowing how to pronounce the word "Alcohol."

A recent picture of Shelton from The Voice may indicate otherwise:

Shelton Considers Another "The Voice" Contestant and
Face Transplant Reject.

Z!TV has done its due diligence -- as always -- and obtained a copy of the declaration and court filing referenced above. You'll note that it was written by Mr. Shelton in his own hand. Further information to come as it is made available. And, yes, these are his actual words...
