Fashion Gumbo: Kanye West, Lady Gaga and David LaChapelle

These are the pictures from her deluxe edition of her album "The Fame Monster" I see where some of the pictures relate to the album. They are all exceptionally beautiful but .. Kanye is only in one photo. How does fame tie in with a black man holding a naked white girl? My first reaction when I was this particular photo was King Kong proceeded by Rambo for some reason. Then came the thoughts of Taylor Swift, black men stealing white women, monsters ect, ect. Whatever the point he's trying to make with these photos - I get it. Kinda. A picture is supposed to be worth a thousand words. Mission accomplished.

Sidebar: Rihanna's photos for GQ were released last week. Just about the same nudity, different reactions. Why her, being Rihanna naked so controversial?

Chic or Weak?

I've got mixed feeling about this Kanye issue ..

When Kanye first pulled that stunt on Taylor Swift I thought it was full as shit. I mean come on, he's known for his antics at award shows, his blog, shit even that hurricane relief fund that was broadcasted on national television. When you pay attention solely to Kanye and disregard Taylor the footage is a riot. I'm just a big lover of ballsy people. Shoot me. We all made the twitter jokes and retweeted everyone's jokes. I don't know about you but about 80% of the people I follow thought it was funny as well.

I began to wonder how Taylor allowed Kanye to grab the mike from her in the first place. Taylor is 19 years old, I knew how to defend myself from bullies at age 7. Maybe even younger then that thanks to my 2 older brothers. If it was me in that position, no one would have gotten that close to me that wasn't apart of my entourage. This is MY moment. Kanye is always up to no good and I'm 3 steps ahead of you. It's funny how Kanye has lost to plenty of artists but he didn't rush the stage to interrupt their speech. Yet he does it on Beyonce's behalf? Would he have done this if Suge Knight was accepting an award? He know who he's able to get away with that kind of behavior with. Any other person wouldn't have hesitated to smack him silly. So, the aftermath rolls around to the next day and everyone is upset at Kanye. I replayed the clip. Paused.

I stopped looking at Kanye for a moment and payed attention to Taylor. The expression on her face was so sad. I felt horrible. then the reports came out - "This was her first award." "She was the first country singer to receive a VMA." I felt even worse. Taylor also did a guest appearance on The View. I had to check that out because, now i'm obsessed with her. She said "It was really wonderful to see people out there defending me so I didn't have to" WTF!!! This whole incident completely flew over her head. TAYLOR YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF!!! YOU NEED TO BE STRONG FOR YOURSELF!!! You can't expect everyone to do your dirty work for you.

I'm happy that Kanye apologized, I felt the sincerity. But Taylor didn't learn shit. Hope this doesn't happen to her again. Home girl needs to take a self defense class or something. something that makes her feel empowering.

Beyonce HAS THE BEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME

In case you missed it .. here's that clip again. I find it hilarious.

Video: Best I've Ever Had

Drake "Best I Ever Had" from kwest on Vimeo.

I can definitely tell Kanye West directed this video. We all know he's a SUPER titty lover. I wonder what possessed Drake to allow Kanye to direct his first solo video. Nonetheless, I'll give him a break from harsh criticism because of favoritism and his subliminal humor. After all, it is his "first" vision. You get an "e" for effort Kanye

To be or Not to be: Air Yeezy

They are scheduled to be dropped tomorrow. Racked Mag is saying otherwise. It's Spring 09' release date has been pushed back to Fall 09'. I wonder why. I got a tweet from @LouisVuitton_US .. saying "Kanye West for LV sneakers in stores tomorrow"; followed by a link to their website.

Hmmmm, who to trust? No telling who's behind LV's twitter feed. This actually is the 1st mention of Kanye's sneakers I've heard about for Louis Vuitton PERIOD. I guess we won't find out until tomorrow.
