David LaChapelle to Sue Rihanna over S&M Video

David LaChapelle is becoming quite angry that Rihanna plagarized his artwork for her latest music video S&M. LaChapelle, who is mostly known for his cartoonish doll-like portraits of everyone from Lil’ Kim, Amanda Lepore, has filed a lawsuit against the Bajan beauty for swagger-jacking (Copying) approximately eight of his images in the Melina-directed clip.




He says that “the music video is directly derived from and substantially similar to the LaChapelle works,” and that it copied the “composition, total concept, feel, tone, mood, theme, colors, props, settings, decors, wardrobe, and lighting” of some of his work. The lawsuit points to a specific image of Rihanna against a blue background with a piece of candy on her tongue.


Why didn't she just hire LaChapelle to direct the video instead of stealing his entire visuals without credit?
And another thing isn't that rubber dress and hat the same one Lady Gaga wore on the Grammy's?
