Kanye West Wins 'Coinye' Trademark Infringement Lawsuit
You may remember that back in January, a new form of digital currency was launched called "Coinye West," which was named, of course, for rapper Kanye West, and featured a cartoon representation of his likeness. Though one would assume that having his name and face plastered on as many products as possible would be Yeezy's ultimate life goal, the "Bound 2" rapper actually wasn't too thrilled about it, so much so that he filed a trademark-infringement lawsuit against the company pretty much immediately.

If Weezer truly wanted to find its groove again, it shouldn't be writing a stupid song about it. Instead, the band should be taking these steps... -
Jack White Covered Jimi Hendrix, Performed Longest Show Of Career Last Night [LISTEN]
Just like the vinyl edition of his most recent album Lazaretto was gimmicky in an astonishing number of ways, Jack White's recent shows seem to be newsworthy for a number of reasons as well.
