Funk legend GEORGE CLINTON has launched legal action against the BLACK EYED PEAS over allegations they illegally sampled his classic hit (NOT JUST) KNEE DEEP on the remix to their single SHUT UP.

Clinton's lawyers filed the copyright infringement suit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on Friday (10Dec10).

In the court papers, the veteran star claims the Black Eyed Peas have cashed in on their 2003 track at his expense, thanks to various remixes released as a result of the chart smash.

Clinton alleges he never agreed to any use of (Not Just) Knee Deep by the Black Eyed Peas and he is seeking compensation for the complaint, reports AllHipHop.com.

Mariah says she's not bisexual.

Mariah Carey says she's confused by longstanding rumors that she is bisexual - insisting speculation she is attracted to women is "not the reality."

Despite being married twice and expecting a baby with husband Nick Cannon, the singer has long faced allegations she is secretly gay.

"If it makes somebody happy to say that, then whatever, but that's not the reality," she tells gay magazine The Advocate. "I don't have a discriminatory policy of who I'm friends with, so yes, I'm friends with women who are gay - gay, straight, it doesn't matter to me. So I don't get upset when I hear that, because it is what it is. I guess I could lie about it to seem more exciting."
