The 'New York Post' reports that Depp and Beck have been accused of plagiarism on their new musical collaboration.

Last month, the pair released their album, '18,' just weeks after Depp won a high-profile defamation trial against his ex-wife, Amber Heard.

According to 'Rolling Stone,' one track on the album features Depp reciting lines first spoken by convicted murderer Slim Wilson in 1964.

According to 'Rolling Stone,' one track on the album features Depp reciting lines first spoken by convicted murderer Slim Wilson in 1964.

The poems recited by Wilson were recorded by folklorist Bruce Jackson while Wilson was serving a prison sentence at Missouri State Penitentiary.

Jackson recorded the poem in his 1974 book, , 'Get Your Ass in the Water and Swim Like Me.'.

The 'New York Post' reports that lines from the poem, 'Hobo Ben,' appear almost verbatim on a track which Depp and Beck receive the only songwriting credits.

I’ve been publishing stuff for 50 years, and this is the first time anybody has just ripped something off and put his own name on it, Bruce Jackson, folklorist and author, via 'Rolling Stone'.

'Rolling Stone' reports that legal action against Depp and Beck would be difficult as 'Hobo Ben' is part of an oral tradition without a specific author.

Jackson argues that the use of the poem is more of an ethical issue as opposed to a legal one.

If it is selling, Johnny Depp is making a lot of money on it.

Should it go to him, or should it go to some place that helps the people who produced this culture?, Bruce Jackson, folklorist and author, via 'Rolling Stone'.

Stomach Sleeping May Be Wreaking Havoc on Your Health

Stomach Sleeping , May Be Wreaking , Havoc on Your Health. 'New York Post' reports that sleeping on your stomach may come with a number of potential health issues. Experts say the biggest complaint from people who sleep on their front is having lower back pain. If you already have neck and back problems, sleeping in this position is almost guaranteed to make them worse, Dr. Tony Nalda, Scoliosis Reduction Center, via New York Post. According to Dr. Tony Nalda from the Scoliosis Reduction Center, stomach sleeping can also make breathing difficult as it compresses the diaphragm. The sleeping position also puts stress on the heart, which can make it more difficult for blood to circulate. Over time, this increases the risk of cardio issues, especially if you already have problems. If you struggle to breathe deeply, it can lead to higher blood pressure, Dr. Tony Nalda, Scoliosis Reduction Center, via New York Post.
