It’s been reported that former Destiny’s Child bandmate, Kelly Rowland gave new parents Beyonce and Jay-Z a long-sleeved onsie for baby Blue Ivy. But it wasn’t just any old onsie that you’d pick up at the Gap, this one, from Lucky Wang in NYC, is lime green and features a screen print of the legendary Bob Marley. More »
Interestingly, Amber Rose used the hashtag #FAME to talk about calling Kim Kardashian a homewrecker for having an affair with Amber’s ex Kanye West… and to promote her new single “Fame.” Think the two could be linked? More »
Last night, Kanye West went on an 86-tweet Twitter rant that covered many topics. Some people think this is a sign of whatever personality disorder he has, but personally, I think I’m going to send him my resume to see if I can pick up any freelance work from DONDA, the new multimedia empire he is planning to name after his late mother so he can pick up where Steve Jobs left off. This and nine more crucial pieces of information Kanye has communicated to us, after the jump. More »
Hey, it’s a good thing that whole basketball lock-out situation got resolved so we can see who spent their Christmas day watching Kobe play at the Staples Center. While you were off listening to your grandma’s story about running out of paper towels, folks like Kanye West and Adam Levine were sitting courtside. Do you think the concession stand served eggnog?

It’s that time of year again, when celebrities like Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber – not to mention Cee Lo Green and Snoop Dogg – ironically don awful Christmas sweaters for themed parties or just because they can. (Seriously, you’ll be scandalized to hear how much Biebs paid for his.) More »
What do Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, P. Diddy, Alicia Keys, will.i.am and Chris Brown have in common? Lots of things, probably (nice cars, good stylists, membership in the 1%), but the weirdest thing has got to be this extended musical commerical for Megaupload. More »
So the nominees for the 2011 Grammy Awards were announced yesterday, and when Liana and I looked at them, our reactions ranged from intense indifference to full-on stabbing rage. Here is the G-chat conversation that ensued. More »
Celebrities—they’re just like us! Many of them, like Lady Gaga and Cheyenne Jackson, want to make progress so that someday there will be a generation born without HIV/AIDS. Then there are the ignorant jerks like rapper Game, who perpetuate myths and discrimination about the disease. Check out our gallery, in honor of World AIDS Day 2011, of the best and worst quotes: Those that made us beam (as they talk about how HIV/AIDS has entered their lives, and the need for a cure) and those that made us want to smack our heads against our laptop screens.

Babies make everything better, don’t they? I haven’t particularly been looking forward to Jay-Z and Kanye West‘s collaboration album/tour Watch the Throne, but thanks to the new Tumblr Watch the Cradle, I now know plenty of their lyrics. More »
The Tumblr Kanye’d By the Bell combines Saved By the Bell stills with Kanye West lyrics, filling yet another cultural void with meaningful and necessary content. Not that I’m complaining — I’ll take any excuse I can get to see images of the inimitable Lisa Turtle. Such as this one: More »
Jay Z and Kanye West‘s collaborative album Watch The Throne may contain many creative boasts about how much money they have, but they apparently couldn’t spare any for soul singer Syl Johnson, who is suing them for sampling a song of his without credit or payment. More »
As an addendum to this post about Kanye West‘s trip down to Occupy Wall Street to visit with the protesting masses, here’s what Russell Simmons tweeted about the occasion. Kanye was tolerant of the crowd! The 1% has deigned to lower itself into the streets of the plebeians, and it is willing to tolerate them. More »
This was probably for the best, considering his track record with “talking.” More »
Despite the fact that he’s a multi-millionaire rapper and obviously part of the 1%, Kanye West decided to stop by the Occupy Wall Street protest today. More »
Kanye West premiered his brand new clothing line called DW at Paris Fashion Week – ooh la la! The clothes were monochromatic and minimalist and the celebrities were there en masse. Check out some photos from the event. More »
Justin Bieber certainly stood out at Sunday’s VMAs, but probably not in the ways he meant to: He made immature jokes about his pet snake Johnson, had an awkward kiss with girlfriend Selena Gomez, and then was blank-faced for the entire show. Oh, except for when he won, and gave a strange thank-you speech: I just wanna say thank you so much not only to God but to Jesus. More »
This year’s Video Music Awards had no host — unless you count Jesse J singing nominees’ songs into commercial breaks – but what it lacked in one unifying star, it made up for in a bevy of amazing facial expressions. Most of the best reaction shots came from attendees trying to understand Lady Gaga‘s Grease-inspired performance as Jo Calderone, but there was also the incredibly sweet, unexpected moment where Beyonce bared her baby bump and husband Jay-Z went crazy. In-between, we also had some great WTF faces from Dave Grohl, Katy Perry, and Britney Spears. More »
Not being famous, perhaps I wouldn’t know this, but to my way of thinking, the absolute worst thing about being famous has got to be dealing with the paparazzi. Sure, when you live a public life, photographers are always going to be an issue, but I still feel bad for actors, musicians, artists, etc. who get hounded all the time for no other reason than that they happen to make a living in the entertainment industry. But celebs aren’t always victims; occasionally, they fight back! Sometimes the attacks more warranted than others, but either way, they make for interesting tabloid fodder. Actually, here’s a question for you: If a celeb is busy attacking a photographer snapping pictures of the celebrity’s everyday life, what does that make the photographer who’s snapping pictures of the incident? Food for thought… More »
Welcome to your new favorite Tumblr, “Kanye with White People.” It’s exactly what it sounds like: Kanye West posing with the whitest, most awkward white folk on the planet. Kind of ruining your cred here, Mr. West. Check it out: More »
