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.

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.
