Saw that... didn't think it was that much. Kind of crazy...

Last I heard though was that she didn't receive anything for the song. And I was just going off of what I experienced with regards to music, and the business.

The difference is that Rebecca Black could not do this. Or Katy Perry. Or the majority of them.

Don't talk about my future ex-wife that way!

Rebecca had a pretty big role in Katy's music video for that teen party song set up as an 80s movie that was terrible.

Also, Ms. Black looks damn old for a 16 year old. She looked a little older than 13/14 in Friday, but at this rate she might look 50 by the time she's 20

She put on weight, note the heavy use of dark colours and flannel. Same thing happened to Alia Shawkat, put on 30 lb, aged 15 years.
