BET and Paramount Pictures Sued Over 'Dreamgirls'
December 18th, 2009
On the surface, those in entertainment knows this happens quite often. What remains to be seen is if the person is being honest in his lawsuit. If he is, Paramount (who produced Dreamgirls) is an absolute idiot for not at least changing the names and characters.
What is also unclear to Mo’Kelly in this story is why the lawsuit comes now instead of when the original Broadway show debuted back in the 80s…which goes back to the “honesty” question.
Anyhow, check it out HERE and tell Mo’Kelly your collective thoughts. On a side note, anytime BET gets sued (frivolous lawsuit or not) it’s a good day.
THIS JUST IN:
Mo’Kelly was doing some secondary research on the plaintiff in this case, Samuel G. Bailey and not only has Bailey sued a production company before, over the movie Boomerang (as indicated in the linked story), but also sued director F. Gary Gray and Warner Bros. over supposed copyright infringement in the development of the movie The Negotiator. Mo’Kelly notices a “pattern” and Samuel doesn’t seem to be all that balanced mentally. BET and Paramount probably don’t have much to worry about it seems.

Granted, the majority of us are going through financial difficulties at this time. However, I feel that Bailey may be using this as a "meal ticket". And why is he just suing now when the movie Dreamgirls came out in 2006? If I supposedly wrote the screeplay for this and a movie was made, best believe I would have filed a lawsuit in 2007. Also, like you said Mo, if Paramount did take Bailey's material, than they are idiots. Makes you wonder…
You may think you will get away with your calumniating allegations about me, but I assure you that your due ethical punishment will be received. It seems to me you, Mo’ Kelly, may also be the stupid respondent named “Anointed”. You appear to have that psychological perplexity of gratifying yourself to gain public support. Just remember this: All those who do evil will someday be morally punished. The nefarious Defendants and their wicked lawyer John B. O’keefe probably saw to it that you write an article of lies to defame my character. As I previously said, those who do evil will be ethically punished, to put it politically correct.
Still insane I see…
And thank you for proving everything in my article to be true. I will leave your comment up for everyone to see. Just in case anyone thought you might be crazy…not in doubt anymore.
