Did Usher Steal a Song From Homer Simpson?
In the most hilarious accusation of plagiarism ever, an intrepid YouTuber has compiled evidence that a portion of the Usher song 'OMG' was actually inspired by a Christmas carol penned by none other than -- wait for it -- Homer Simpson.The yellow one's festive song aired during the 14th season of 'The Simpsons' and goes like this: "Christmas in December/Wow wow wow/Gimme tons of presents/Now now now."
Even better, though, is that the oh-so-sophisticated Usher lyrics sound like Homer could've written them too: "Honey got a booty like/Pow pow pow/Honey got some boobies like/Wow oh wow."
For the record, will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas actually wrote the track. And since we know what you're thinking, it's okay -- we'll say it first: It's a slow news week.
Listen below and tell us: Did Usher steal the song from Homer?

OMGLists' eight worst sitcom character names ever
OMGLists has listed the eight worst sitcom names ever on television. This list is a trip down memory lane. Some of the names are so embedded in our minds (probably because they come from such beloved shows) that until you read them in the context of this list, you probably didn't ever think of them as terrible names. I don't want to spoil your fun and say too much about who's included on the list so I will only mention one character: Topanga from Boy Meets World. This name was a no brainer for me -- at least it would have been a few months ago before I moved to Los Angeles from New York. I didn't realize there was actually a place in L.A. called Topanga Canyon. I even thought of Boy Meets World when we went there for a hike.
Syndicated Deal or No Deal could happen after all, and Yahoo launches new portal
Okay, so, a few months ago Rich gave y'all the skinny on a proposed half-hour syndicated version of Deal or No Deal. Well, Variety, citing "sources" but nothing more solid than that, says NBC Universal and Endemol USA will be moving ahead with plans for a syndicated Deal or No Deal, and that Howie Mandel will likely be hosting this version, as well. The syndicated version would appear sometime in 2008. Again, it's worth noting that neither NBC nor Endemol have confirmed any of this.
Since it's part of the same article, I should probably also mention that Access Hollywood and Yahoo have teamed up to create "omg!," a celeb-centric site featuring clips from Access Hollywood. The site, which is supposed to launch today, will serve as a direct competitor to AOL's TMZ.com (AOL also owns TV Squad). I just hope whoever supplies the alcohol and drugs to today's Hollywood stars keeps the supply coming so folks like me can sit back and watch these two portals fight for the best footage.
