Kim Kardashian is Pregnant

I almost hate to write this blog because I am not fond of the Kardashian family nor their empire.  I don’t understand how any of them got to be where they are (sans Bruce Jenner) or how they stay there.  I briefly watched an episode of their reality show, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” and am certain my IQ dropped during those few minutes.  I think Kim’s 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries was a total sham on her part.  I am still not sure if he was in on the moneymaking marriage or not. But, news is news whether I … Continue reading →

To Fur or Not to Fur – Kanye West

The other day, I blogged about Olympian Johnny Weir, his love of fur, and PETA’s outcry against it. But, Johnny is not the only one in trouble with PETA for fur. Earlier this year, PETA announced its yearly Worst Dressed Celebrities list. Now this list has less to do with fashion and more to do with use of real fur in clothing. Topping the list was Madonna. She was quickly followed by the Olsen Twins, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Kanye West. Rounding out the list was Elizabeth Hurley. While I am sure Johnny will make next year’s list, the only male … Continue reading →

Ah, what is a music ceremony without Kanye West acting up? It all started in 2004, when he lost the AMA Best New Artist award to Gretchen Wilson. He stormed out of the ceremony saying, “I left like I was definitely robbed…” Then at the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards, he interrupted Justice and Simian’s acceptance speech, insisting his video should have won the award because it “cost a million dollars and Pamela Anderson was in it.” As for the 2007 awards, Kanye suggested that he was not chosen to do the opening performance for the show because “maybe my … Continue reading →

A-Rod Plays Madonna’s Waterboy While Kanye Wants to be Elvis

After months of rumors, have Madonna and Yankee Alex Rodriguez finally going public with a romance? Well, maybe not exactly, but tongues are still wagging about something that happened Wednesday night. Madonna was in Miami at the Dolphin’s Stadium playing a sold out show. As you might imagine, one can get parched performing like that, so thankfully, there was someone in the front row to hand her a bottle of water. What? Madonna took a bottle of water from someone on the front row? Well, yes, but it wasn’t just any someone – it was Alex Rodriguez. Now, maybe the … Continue reading →

Kanye West’s mother, Donda West, died Saturday at the age of 58. Reports are that her death may have been caused by complications due to a cosmetic surgical procedure, but Kanye’s publicist will neither confirm nor deny the claims. She was brought into Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center by paramedics on Saturday. Even though doctors tried to revive her, she died shortly after being admitted. Donda was a retired professor and former chair of English department. She also served as Kanye’s manager at one time and was always a big supporter of her son’s career.
