How's about a history lesson?

Rihanna is once again facing legal trouble for the music video for her single, S&M, just four months after David LaChapelle filed a lawsuit claiming she ripped off his work!

And Paulus himself asserts:
"Why a worldwide celebrity is not able to afford a creative director, who creates individual concepts and stagings, is incomprehensible to me. While I really respect Rihanna's talents as a musician, nevertheless it is important to respect the creations of others, even young talents, and not to copy their work without legitimacy for earning money with it in order to make money."
Check out a snap from the video compared to one of the alleged photos (above)!
Yeah...regardless of whether this was intentional or not, we think it might be best if RiRi gets herself a creative director next time!
Nip these problems in the bud, gurl!
