Kanye West

Apparently, Kanye West is a man of his word.

Now, don't get us wrong, we love how much drama he creates (it's like watching a TV show), but sometimes when he goes on a rant you don't know whether to believe him or just take what he says with a pinch of salt.

But we might have to eat our words now because back in November, he promised some paparazzi that he would give out free Yeezys – something nobody thought he'd ever do.

Yet, this week he rolled up in his car and gave a bunch out to a few freelance cameramen on the street.

At around €300 a pop, we have to say, it's a pretty nice gesture!

North West: already pretty much the best dressed three-year-old we can think of. 

And now her reality TV star mum has revealed she is keeping ‘everything’ fancy from her wardrobe – to give to North when she grows up.

All we're thinking here is… Met Gala gowns!

Kim told People over the weekend: “Everything I have is for her, and she’ll look at it and say, ‘Can I wear that one day?’, and I’m like, ‘Yes, you can’. And she’ll say, ‘OK, I’m gonna go eat my vegetables, but I’ll be back and big.’”

Too cute!

And despite being infamously ordered to get rid of all her pre-Kanye clothes by, well, Kanye himself; the 35-year-old revealed that North will be getting her pick from the non-Kanye-approved pile, too.

“I saved them all for my daughter, before I even had a daughter, so one day she could see. I wanted to just keep those memories,” she added.

All we can say is: lucky North!

If the word 'genius' was removed from Kanye West's vocabulary, he'd have a pretty hard time describing himself.

Convinced he's brought more creativity to the music industry than other artist, the Life of Pablo singer has never been shy about saying as much.

"For me, you know, I’m a creative genius," he once told Jimmy Kimmel. "And there’s no other way to word it."

Well, as far as Paul McCartney is concerned, there are a few ways to word Kanye's contribution to the world of music, but 'genius' isn't one of them.

When asked by Rolling Stone if he agreed with Kanye's description of himself, the Beatle said: "I don't throw that word around. I think he's a great artist."

Softening the blow for poor ol' Yeezy, Paul continued: "Take My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I played it when I was cooking, and it was like, ‘This is good. There's some really innovative stuff."

And while he may not consider Kanye a genius, Paul was obviously more than willing to work with the star.

Recalling his decision to collaborate with Kanye and Rihanna, Paul told he publication: "When the word came from his people, through my people, I thought, ‘Let's give it a go.'"

Kanye, that's all you can ask of a Beatle, OK?

The Kardashian-Jenners might be all aboard the drama train Kanye West launched at Taylor Swift earlier this year, but when it comes to business-based in-house disputes the family's united front seems to wane in a pretty obvious way.

And as the latest episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians has revealed, the one thing that Kanye does not want the family messing with are his fashion interests.

On Sunday night's show it was revealed that Kanye was totally pissed when his mother-in-law Kris Jenner landed a major sportswear campaign with Puma for her daughter Kylie a few months back.  

Why?  Because Ye was afraid the deal could have affected his relationship with one of the sportswear giant's main rivals, Adidas.

In scenes filmed during a family dinner in Cuba, Kanye compared the deal to him heading off to film his own reality TV series without informing the famous fam.

He said: “So they offered me a deal and I like did it and didn’t tell none of y’all and brought all of my cool friends.  Like now it’ Jay-Z, Beyonce, all on the show.”

 

 

The controversial rapper's point was accepted by Khloé who said: “I don’t agree with going against the family in that way.  I think Kylie, whoever, should have presented it to Kanye first.”

“One hundred percent,” said Kim.

But not everyone was in agreement that Kanye should have been given the heads up by family momager Kris Jenner who had not only sealed the Puma deal for Kylie, but had previously tried to get her daughter a deal with Adidas in a move which could have had a major knock-on effect on Kanye's deal with the brand.  

In a later scene Kris tells Kim that it “goes with the territory of wearing all these different hats and being mom and manager” and that “sometimes it’s about a business decision which is completely not personal”.  Ouch!

However Kris does eventually back down by recognising she may have taken her momager role a step too far by saying: “Well…sometimes I get ahead of myself too.  And sometimes I forget to communicate the way I maybe should.  So I feel bad – but it wasn’t intentional.”

And so all's well that ends well in the world of the Kardashians.

While no one ever knows what Kanye West’s next move will be, we have to admit his recent confession about wishing to collaborate with IKEA did come as a bit of a surprise. 

Speaking to BBC Radio 1 earlier this week, the Yeezy creator expressed his desire to design furniture for the Scandinavian retailer when he told Annie Mac: “I have to work with IKEA – make furniture for interior design, for architecture.”

The controversial rapper explained how he thinks students in particular would love for him to design “a minimalist apartment inside of a college dorm” – even though student housing already tends to be pretty minimalist.

“Yo Ikea, allow Kanye to create, allow him to make this thing because you know what, I want a bed that he makes, I want a chair that he makes,” he said.

But unfortunately for Kanye, IKEA doesn't seem to be interested in joining forces with him right now.

A spokesperson for the brand told CNBC: “At IKEA we are constantly curious about different people, companies, artists and events around the world. To have these connections and inspiring meetings is an important way for us to find new ways to create a better everyday life for the many people.”

“Although we are really flattered by Kanye West's high interest in IKEA and the speculation around a joint venture, we have no plans to collaborate at this point in time.”

So it looks like flatpacking Ye's genius will just have to wait.

Let's face it – Kim Kardashian has at some stage or another rocked pretty much every hairstyle imaginable. 

From jet-black to platinum blonde, she's embraced it and made it her own.

And while she's clearly never afraid to experiment, the reality TV star usually sticks to longer, tumbling tresses rather than shorter looks.

Until now, that is.

Yesterday, Ms Kardashian stepped out for lunch in LA with the her husband of two-years rocking a seriously chic long bob that we just can't get enough of. 

That and she was ALL over Snapchat debuting the style – both at lunch and later as she attended the launch of sister Kylie Jenner's cosmetics line.

For their romantic meal-for-two – at the upmarket Ysabel eatery – Kimmy wore knit boots from her husband's Yzeey line, along with a khaki lace-up dress and a Louis Vuitton petite malle clutch.

The boots alone cost €840 while the designer bag would set you back a cool €3,850.

We're all for freedom of expression, but to compare Kim Kardashian's decision to strip off for Instagram with Adele's ability in the recording studio sounds just a little wide of the mark to us.

But that's just Kanye West for you, right?

While speaking to Harper's Bazaar, the acclaimed rapper paid tribute to his wife's enviable figure – so far, so standard – but then went on to insist that the notion of his wife hiding her curves from the wider public is comparable to Adele hanging up the mic for good.
 

 

When you're like I have nothing to wear LOL

"I think it’s important for Kim to have her figure. To not show it would be like Adele not singing," he said in an issue which is set to hit newsstands in September.

Hammering the point home in no uncertain terms, Kanye left readers in no doubt that every side is her best side when it comes to Kim.

"I love her nude selfies. Like, I love the ones from the side, the back ones, and the front. I just love seeing her naked; I love nudity," he confirmed for anyone still unsure.

Like the vast majority of us, Kanye is not immune to the image of a stunning woman, but insists Kim takes the concept to another level when she decides to bare all for millions.

"And I love beautiful shapes," he explains. "I feel like it’s almost a Renaissance thing, a painting, a modern version of a painting."

Ah yeah, but we'd still take an hour with our iPod over a 'painting'…

It’s official – Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have the CUTEST kids on earth.

While the couple’s three-year-old daughter North has been rocking her celebrity status for a while now, until recently little had been seen of her younger brother Saint.

But it seems his parents have decided the seven-month-old is ready to make his Snapchat debut as Kim has used the popular app to share an adorable clip of Saint giggling in his pram.

The snap appeared just one day after Saint was seen attending his great-grandmother’s 82nd birthday party in San Diego which gives the impression he's already a busy little guy.

 

 

Saint seems to have inherited his family’s love for the camera so we’re hopeful we’ll be seeing plenty more of him in the near future.

It seems that little Saint West – although just seven months old – is already talking away to his besotted pregnant.

However, his mum Kim isn't too happy with what his first words are… namely because he's chatting about 'Dada' rather than 'Mama'.

The 36-year-old reality TV star told People magazine: "He said ‘dada’ today, three times and I was like ‘what’?

"Kanye was so excited. He was like 'I told him to say that.' I was like, 'I just really wanted him to say momma first'."

Kim, also mum to three-year-old North, was on the red-carpet at Hakkasan in Las Vegas on Friday, and was happy to chat away to press.

Looking super-slim, she furthermore revealed that she's down beyond her target post-baby weight of just 120lbs.

'I’m definitely to my goal weight,' Ms Kardashian told reporters.

She added that she was "down way more than I expected".

With everything that's been going on of late – Kim, Kanye, Calvin & Co. – understandably, Taylor Swift hasn't had much time to tend to her usually busy social media platforms.

However, she has now emerged from self-imposed digital exile, taking to Instagram to mark the 24th birthday of her BFF Selena Gomez.

Posting a throwback snap of the duo making a heart with their hands, the singer wrote: “Going through old pictures today, because @selenagomez just turned 24! 

“I can’t imagine my life without you, Selena. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”

Selena has had her friend's back in recent weeks, as Ms Swift, 26, manages the fall-out from her Kimye feud, the breakdown of her relationship with Calvin Harris, and her new romance with Tom Hiddleston. 

And the birthday gal also took to Twitter today with a 26-second long acoustic-sounding snippet from a forthcoming song.

"Did this on my birthday… coming soon. Thank you so all the love. I love you guys, God bless," she wrote as she shared her new music.

Significantly, the unveiled lyrics sang: "The world can be a nasty place. You know it; I know it.

"Still you don't have to fall from grace. Put down the weapons you fight with."

Which, coincidently, we reckon sound mighty suitable for Ms Tay-Tay Swift.

There's no denying that the Kardashian-West/ Swift feud – which has been bubbling under the surface for years, but officially kicked off on Sunday night – has become somewhat of a soap opera.

From daily plot twists to unexpected cameos, the public – whether they want it or not – have been drip-fed new information every day since Kim Kardashian indirectly initiated the TaylorSwiftIsOverParty.

And despite the press, public and fans weighing in from all corners, we had yet to get an insight into what finally pushed Kim over edge, and compelled her to leak that footage… until now, that is.

According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, Taylor's Grammy speech where she appeared to throw shade at Kanye was the last straw for his furious wife.

"There are going to be people along the way who try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame" and "if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people side track you, someday when you get where you’re going," Taylor urged her audience at the time.

Furious that the Shake It Off singer was blasting her husband publicly, Kim decided to take action.

"They wouldn't have released that tape had she not dedicated her Grammys speech to bashing Kanye for something she was aware of," the insider revealed.

"Kim is glad that the truth is out there. Kim was sick of it for them, for their kids, for everyone who believes in them, and she was not going to let people take Kanye down," they continued.

But if you were hoping for a sequel in this saga, you'll likely be disappointed if Kimye have anything to do with it.

"Kim and Kanye hope that one day they can make up with Taylor," the insider confirmed. "They aren't interested in having this beef."

Hmmm, they mightn't be…but Taylor might…

Sharon Osbourne has added her name to the long list of celebrities weighing in on Taylor Swift’s never-ending feud with Kim Kardashian and her rap star husband Kanye West.

Speaking on US chat show The Talk today, Sharon advised Taylor to forget pursuing legal action and move on from the drama as best she can.

The X Factor judge told her co-hosts: “I think that Taylor should go back to what she does best, writing her songs, recording.”

“Forget – it's got to stop. The whole thing with Taylor Swift and Kanye West and now the Kardashians are coming in, it's ugly.”

According to The Express, the 63-year-old reality star advised Taylor to “rise above” the drama and go do her own thing, before openly describing Kanye West a “bully”.

She said:  "It would be so bad for her [Taylor] if she does take this to the next stage. Just let it go. Everybody knows that he [Kanye] is a bully." 

The infamous battle of the stars was reignited earlier this week when Kim used Snapchat to air a recorded conversation between Taylor and Kanye for the world in what seems to be proof that the Bad Blood singer did approve Kanye’s controversial Famous lyrics.

In the song the Yeezy designer said he and Taylor “might still have sex” and claimed he “made that b*tch famous”.

Given all that’s gone on, we think Sharon’s advice is actually pretty damn sensible.
