Jay-Z has a problem with an Australian company using his name and lyrics to sell books ... and now he's taking the Aussies to court.

According to a new lawsuit obtained by the Sydney Morning Herald, Jay claims Australian online retailer Little Homie is engaging in misleading and deceptive conduct to hawk a children's book titled "AB to Jay-Z."

In the suit, Hov reportedly claims Little Homie is infringing on his copyright for lyrics from his hit single, "99 Problems."

The book's back cover reads, "If you're having alphabet problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but my ABCs ain't one."

The phrasing is obviously a play on Jay's famous hook, "If you having girl problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one."

Jay's legal team reportedly fired off a cease and desist to Little Homie back in March 2018, but his lawyers claim the retailer kept deliberately using his likeness and lyrics in a flagrant and glaring way.

We've confirmed Jay filed suit against Little Homie earlier this week in Australian Federal Court ... and the book is still for sale on Little Homie's website, marked down to $17.97.

FORT PIERCE, Fla. (WJXT) – That darn wind is always causing trouble, especially for a “Florida Man.”

A man pulled over by police in Fort Pierce last month claimed the cocaine residue found inside a Budweiser can along with a crack pipe was blown there by the wind, according to News 6 sister station WPLG.

Police noticed Joseph Zak, 37, appeared to be trying to discard an item when he was stopped for failing to pause at a stop sign, The Smoking Gun reports.

When cops asked Zak about the white residue inside the can which eventually tested positive for crack cocaine, he told them "the police or the wind must have placed it there."

Zak was arrested and jailed.

After losing her best friend. Harris held on to her daughters best friends telling them, they are "her girls - comfort in a time she needed it most.

“She was my heart,” said Harris.

They shared something no one else in the family did, Angela and Aniah shared a birthday.

They won't share anymore cake or candles, but she's going to continue to share her favorite memories.

“Just her laughter and her smile, that’s what I'm going to miss the most. Just her happiness because she made life better for all of us," said Harris.

Tonight, she’s not only hurting, she’s feeling guilt.

“Maybe not even anything I could have done, but I should have prepared her just a little bit better for things she might have come into contact with," said Harris.

“As parents and children walked away Tuesday night, they were left with one final message.

“It can happen to you, it can happen to your family. So from tonight on, go home make a plan, get some things together, talk to your kids so we can prevent this and start fighting back for this evil that’s in this world," said Harris.

LOS ANGELES (Fox 5) — A robbery suspect wielding a large machete was shot and killed by police officers Monday afternoon in Hollywood, Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Chris Ramirez said.

The suspect can be seen on cell phone video at first being chased by an officer, then turning and charging at the officer.

Police think the suspect entered an auto parts store on Highland and Sunset and committed robbery at knifepoint. CNN affiliate KBCW said the store clerk told them the man stole some batteries and jumper cables.

He took the merchandise to a nearby fast food restaurant drive-through and carjacked a customer, Ramirez said. The suspect got into the car and tried speeding away from the scene, but crashed into two patrol cars in the parking lot, Ramirez said.

The suspect got out of the car, still carrying the machete, and ran from police, Ramirez said. Police chased him and initially used “less lethal” force before officers shot him, Ramirez said.

The suspect was taken to a hospital where he was declared dead, Ramirez said. He has not been identified.

The officer seen on video suffered minor injuries to his elbow and knee and was treated on scene.

German police were working furiously Tuesday morning to track down the bandits behind one of the biggest, most brazen jewel heists of all time. Surveillance video released by the police shows two thieves breaking into the 500-year-old Dresden Castle and making off with 18th century treasure from its famous Green Vault room.

One report has suggested the stolen items could be worth more than $1 billion, but the director of Dresden's state art collections, Marion Ackermann, said the real value of the jewels to Germany was "immeasurable."  

CBS News Roxana Saberi reports that, in addition to the surveillance video, German police also released images of the exquisite items that were stolen, many of them encrusted with diamonds, rubies and sapphires and other jewels. One of the pilfered objects is a sword with a hilt adorned by nine large diamonds and 770 smaller ones.

In this clip, Brian "Glaze" Gibbs addressed the notion that most street guys would consider him a rat for taking a deal and cooperating with the feds. For Brian "Glaze" Gibbs, he couldn't care less. His main defense was that no one can say that they served prison time as a result of his cooperation which seems to be a requisite reality for the rat label to hold. Nevertheless, Gibbs explained why he's not worried about those labels and said he's never been approached in New York or elsewhere regarding the matter either.
