Taylor Swift has threatened a lawsuit against a website called Celebrity Jihad for posting "false pornographic images and false 'news' about her." The supposedly satirical site published a photograph of a topless young woman who resembled the country-pop star along with the headline "Taylor Swift Topless Private Pic Leaked?" in August.

Swift's team had requested that Celebrity Jihad remove the image, but it's still live on the site. In a post today, the site promised to remove the photograph if Swift "agrees to convert to Islam" and "sacrifice a goat and devour its entrails." Swift has not commented on the issue, but presumably will not be devouring goat entrails any time soon.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
