Kanye West Died in Car Accident Reports a Malicious HOAX

Meg — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:04:39 +0000

False reports claiming that Kanye West was involved in a James Dean style two-car crash in Los Angeles was nothing more than an elaborate scheme to flood the internet with malicious misinformation. Facebook and Twitter were inundated with the false reports.

Kanye’s model girlfriend Amber Rose ‘tweeted’ the good news to the singers fans that he was indeed alive and well.

According to The Register, the death prank was used to sling scareware, and redirect those searching for information to malware-infested sites. It is yet another example of hackers gaming search engine rankings for events in the news to lure the unsuspecting into their malware scams.

Jay-Z Weighs in on Kanye’s VMA Outburst

Missy — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:29:38 +0000

Unless you are living in a hole, you have already heard about rapper Kanye West taking the stage during the Taylor Swift acceptance speech at the VMA’s last week.

Not only did he take away from the young country singers big night but in turn embarrassed singer Beyonce when he boldly announced that it was Beyonce that should be standing up on stage accepting the award. Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z is now speaking out on the crazy night.

“I just think that is what he believed. I thought it was rude, I thought it was inappropriate and I told him as much. I think he was wrong. “

Is he holding a grudge against West? No. “The way they’re treating him…he’s on the cover of every paper. He didn’t kill anybody. No one got harmed. (He’s just) a super passionate person.”

The fact is, Jay-Z may have dissed Kanye’s bad behavior, BUT he happens to agree with Kanye about Beyonce’s video being better than Swift’s. He admitted, “I don’t think he was wrong.”

So there you have it! Something tells me you wouldn’t want to be scolded by Jay-Z…we’re just saying.

Obama Calls Kanye a ‘Jackass’ (Terry Moran Tweet)

Meg — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 10:59:55 +0000

ABC News anchor Terry Moran found himself in some hot water last night after he took an off-the-record comment made by Barack Obama and turned to his Twitter page to report it.

During a CNBC interview on Monday night the president was asked during a brief break what he thought of the Kanye West controversy. His response immediately landed on Twitter. Moran ‘tweeted’, “Pres Obama just called Kanye West a ‘Jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’s presidential.”

Then a firestorm errupted. An ABC spokesman issued the following statement: “In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion. This was done before our editorial process had been complete. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.”

Check out the ‘tweet’ below and listen to the audio recording of Obama.

Kanye West on Jay Leno (VIDEO)

Meg — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:38:53 +0000

Jay Leno kicked off his new 9:00 p.m. central time slot on NBC by scoring a huge coup with Kanye West as his premiere show guest. The appearance had been booked months in advance but the television gods shined down on the talk show host and West landed in the interview chair the night after making a spectacle of himself at the MTV Video Music Awards.

For those living under a rock, West stormed the Radio City Music Hall stage on Sunday night during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video. He grabbed the microphone from her hand and proceeded to declare Beyonce Knowles the real winner. The musician was summarily ejected from the show – video here.

Jay became famous years ago for asking Hugh Grant, “What the hell were you thinking?” after the actor was arrested for being in the company of a prostitute. Last night he asked Kanye, “What would your dead mother think?” West, clearly taken aback by the question, finally said, “I’m ashamed, it was rude.” He also reported that he plans to “take some time off and evaluate the future.”

Check out Kanye’s appearance on the Leno Show below.

Kanye West Apology to Taylor Swift

Missy — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:19:16 +0000

So here it is, the apology we all know that Kanye West was forced to make after the outrageous stunt he pulled last night at the VMA’s. West interrupted Taylor Swift as she was giving her acceptance speech for winning the Best Female Video award.

“I’M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD HAVE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE’S IN THE BLEACHERS!………….I’M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!……………BEYONCE’S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!!

I RALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I’M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!”

Here is the link to Kanye’s website. At the moment it says that the site is down due to upgrades…or maybe his management is rewriting his apology letter? The most likely scenario is that people have overloaded the site to see what he has to say for himself this morning.

Pink ‘tweeted’ about the situation on her Twitter page, “Beyonce is a classy lady. I feel for her, too. It’s not her fault at all, and her and Taylor did their thing. And douche bag got kicked out. HA!”

Andrea — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 02:04:06 +0000

Kanye West showed his a$$ at the MTV VMAs, and jumped onstage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video, grabbed her microphone, and declared Beyonce’s video one of the best of all time.

Poor Taylor was speechless. The crowd gave her a standing ovation as she left the stage, and later booed when Diddy mentioned Kanye’s name. Go VMA audience! After much public ridicule and peer pressure to do so, there was eventually an apology – view it here.

MTV Shows

Carmen Ortega, Reggie Bush, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West…Oh My!

Andrea — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 03:37:26 +0000

While Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush cited their busy schedules as the reason for their recent break up, sources are saying not so fast!

Stripper/model/professional escort Carmen Ortega claims she has had a months-long affair with Bush, which included rendezvous in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Miami, and she is shopping her story — complete with X-rated texts, phone messages, and a video of herself in Bush’s house, to the highest bidder.

It has also been reported that Kanye West may have been the catalyst in the break up. According to a source, Kardashian had been receiving racy text messages from the hip hop artist.

“Reggie saw text messages on Kim’s phone from Kanye West and flipped out on her,” the source told Fox411.

“They realized there were trust issues on both sides, and couldn’t go forward,” the source said.

Kanye West the Next ‘King of Pop’ Or So He Says

Missy — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 11:31:33 +0000

The always full of himself Kanye West is at it again and this time he has told Scrape TV that he will be the next Michael Jackson.

“You know everyone loves and respects Michael but times change. It’s so sad to see Michael gone but it makes a path for a new King of Pop and I’m willing to take that on. There’s nobody who can catch me in sales and in respect so it only makes sense for me to take over Michael’s crown and become the new King.”

The best part of this crazy quote is that sources say West has contacted the Jackson family to get permission to go forward and use the title. I hope this isn’t true…Michael earned the title right? No response has come out of the Jackson camp and we are hoping Daddy Joe takes the microphone on this one.

Pink Blasts Kanye West

Missy — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 12:19:40 +0000

Singer Pink recently attended a fashion show in Paris and had the honor of sitting next to the head of PETA as well as Paul McCartney and Kanye West. Turns out that Pink would rather wear Kanye than sit next to him. Hmmm…

“I was at Stella McCartney’s Paris fashion show with the vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Paul McCartney and Kanye West. The entire time Kanye was going, ‘They need more fur in this show’.”

“He just wouldn’t shut about how much he loved fur. I mean, he’s saying this to me, the PETA guy and Paul McCartney! I was just so grossed out by him. I’m like, ‘You’re an idiot!’

“There are so many people that I think are a waste of skin and he’s up there. I should wear him. Go on, donate yourself Kanye. People can wear your fur.”

Gotta love Pink, she never seems to hold back her thoughts, and she is definitely not the only one who sees Kanye as a fool!
