Rumor Alert: Is Beyonce Really Pregnant?

The blogosphere is atwitter with news that Sasha Fierce, um, Beyonce is preggers.
Is it true? Well, it's being reported in the Huffpo, which we think would check things out before posting, but then we saw who they were quoting as a source, and well, we just don't know.
That being said, hubby Jay-Z has reportedly said that he'd want kids, and even Beyonce, during an appearance on the "Oprah Winfrey Show" has remarked that she wanted a gangload of kids.
This all comes after Bey announced that she was taking a break after a monstrous tour and doing a couple projects with her new ace boon coon, Lady Gaga.
Still, we're abit skeptical. I mean if Bey is preggers then that means she and her father would have had kids about a year -- or months -- apart.
Of course, in some parts, that's okay.

What would a Kanye-Amber Rose Wedding Look Like?

Matrimony. Wedding bliss. When two people make that solemn commitment to each other, you can oftentimes see the stars -- the hopes -- in their eyes.
Well, Kanye West and Amber Rose, are we there yet?
No rush here, but if Kanye and his model love do say those magical words --with this ring I thee wed -- it would look like a surreal scene out of some Tarantino movie, no doubt.
While the two have only been dating for about a year now, they have had a lifetime of experiences, and Amber Rose has defended Kanye on more than one occasion. This is how it would go down:
The Best Man: Jay-Z would probably do the honors. I know, I know, he hasn't known the College Dropout for a terribly long time, but it'd be a big honor for Kanye, who looks up to him. (Besides, Jay gave Kanye his big break, using his beats on "The Blueprint," and then signing him to the Roc record label).
Maid of Honor: While Bey would be a favorite, we think Amber would probably dig into her past for this one. None other than her former BFF/boyfriend pal, Tiffany aka "Trevon". I know, I know, freaky.
Reverend: Okay, I'll bet Rev Run came to mind, didn't it? Well, I think ole Kanye, being from the Chi, is going to go traditional for this one and bring in somebody of the cloth back home. Besides, Rev Run is awful busy with Twitter these days.
Of course the guest list would be a who's who of the music and fashion industries, with live performances by a select few artists that Kanye admires. The treat however would be the reception, which Dr. Dre would be the deejay. Kanye has credited Dre as his inspiration for beat-making.
To top it off, Ye and Amber would parade around the reception hall, slizzard for all to see.
Well, will all this happen? And if so, when?

The Kanye Factor

The hottest rapper not in jail is Kanye West.
Sorry, Jay-Z. Apologies to T.I., Lupe, etc. Kanye musically has the Midas touch, and his peers know that more than anybody. Ask Common or John Legend, who's albums breathe Kanye's elastic soulfulness. Ask Maroon 5. Ask T-Pain. Ask Drake.
Kanye's time to take the throne is now, similar to when Jay-Z, by default, reached hip-hop's highest echelon. If it were not for the untimely deaths of the Notorious B.I.G. and 6 months before him, Tupac Shakur, it is arguable that rap fans would even know Jay-Z outside of New York.
Kanye is in a similar situation, with his mentor, Jay-Z, comtemplating time off to spend with Beyonce, and no elite rapper on the scene or for the forseeable future, now just may be time for Kanye to assume rap's top throne. All he has to do is stay out of jail, and stay alive (both are hard for a rapper these days). Of course, there have already been missteps, but nobody's perfect.
The measure of a good artist used to be in his/her crossover appeal. Kanye nailed that in one album and has since taken off into the other-worldly-realms of exploring rock and classical music.
The throne is his for the taking, but will he take it?

Amber Rose does a Grace Jones

Kanye West on his new blog, recently released a pic of model girlfriend Amber Rose outstretched and semi-nude holding a microphone. The pic, reportedly from an old Complex Magazine photoshoot, is an updated version of a Grace Jones photoshoot. Here are the two images side by side. Tell me, who absolutely kills it?

Poll: Everybody Likes Michelle

Poll numbers schmoll numbers: Barack may be falling harder than a rock, but people think the world of Michelle, according to a new poll in the L.A. Times. That means former First Ladies Hillary Clinton and Barbara Bush evidently didn't have that twinkle in the eye that 'Chelle has displayed.
Sure, there has been hate, but Michelle has collectively given the naysayers the gas face -- and looked good in doing it.
How was she maintained such a positive image? She's simply remained herself, experts say. Meanwhile her husband has castigated Harvard cops for acting "stupidly," assailed Fox News and even called Kanye West "a jackass". Well, two outta three aint bad.

Who is Melanie Fiona?

About every few years there's an artist that you hear one time, and your mind makes a mental footnote. The chords, the vocals, the style, everthing feels right.
So it is with Melanie Fiona's debut offering on urban radio at the moment.
So who is Melanie Fiona? Urban radio's answer to Amy Winehouse, to put it succinctly.
The Toronto native has yet to release an album but has been paying dues opening for Kanye West across the pond.
Fiona has been touring to support her album, "The Bridge",, even spreading the love on the street,Last Page and reviews are hyper-praiseworthy.

Kanye West film (We Were Once a Fairy Tale)

While Kanye West's short film, directed by Spike Jonze, has been pulled down from various web sites, the mini movie, in which Kanye expels an inner demon, can be seen here.

Did Kanye West Pull A Fast One?

Fresh off his cancellation of a huge tour with Lady GaGa, uber-producer-rapper Kanye West had supposedly dipped out to India to a spiritual retreat.
Sympathizers shook their heads in agreement for his seemingly acknowledgment of help-needed, while critics scolded him for waiting so long to seek help after his stage-bogart at the VMAs.
But Kanye aint in India at all. He's West-Coastin'. (West and GF Amber Rose were spotted in Los Angeles over the weekend.)
And truth be told, he can get what he needs in Cali, with its laid-back vibe and good-natured folks. Kanye just needs a minute to chill, that's all. (Wouldn't you, if a parent died unexpectedly?)
If you're worried about Kanye West then YOU prolly need a retreat. Trust, we've got bigger problems than Kanye.

Amber Rose: 'RIP Kanye' thread in poor taste

Kanye West's girlfriend, Amber Rose, was none too pleased about the "RIP Kanye" topic on Twitter last week.
4Chan.org was the origin of the topic, but I don't think you wanna mess with them, Ms. Rose. Besides, everybody knows there's no love lost between Twitter and Kanye; Ye can't stand Twitter and has said he'll never get an account.
But that didn't mean his boo Rose would let it pass.
Rose tweeted that it was "disrespectful," and that "where all human."
Where all human, and where is the Webster's dictionary, while where at it.

Jay, Bey and -- Lil Mama, AGAIN?

Your favorite rapper Jay-Z and his wifey Bey were spotted recently in Brooklyn getting their eats on. The popped into a quaint BK eatery and - gasp - who was it posted on the wall, but none other than Ms. "Lip Stick B. Poppins" herself, Lil Mama. (Wouldn't that be hilarious?) Poor Lil Mama, she'll learn next time to stay in her seat. Or at least off the stage.

How Kanye West Got Slizzard at VMAs

The night of September 13 started innocently enough: Uber-star Kanye West wanted to stop by the "likka stow" with his ex-stripper girlfriend to fetch a fifth of liquid insanity before watching an obnoxious awards show (Who hasn't done that, right?).
Before settling on the Hen-dogg, Amber and Kanye entertain thoughts of buying Smirnoff and Yagermeister put turn it down (sooo close).


Kanye figured he'd take it to the neck for a sec: The VMAs were set to begin in 30 minutes. What's better than watching a bunch of feeling-theyself celebrities get awards for having their records bought by an unsuspecting public?



"Did the cameras catch that? Lemme do that again to make sure they see that I just don't give a what." Who else want some?


"Aaaah, our first victim!" (Isn't that the dude from Fall Out Boy?) Kanye talks the small talk with him, so drunk now he's intentionally picking metallic fragments of autotune on him, anything to get him to notice the huge bottle of Amber juice in his hand (get it? "Amber" juice?).
"If I drank this stuff, can I get a hug, bro, I mean, from you and Amber?" Mr. Fall Out Boy says.


"You wanna be down? You wanna be cool, you say?"
"Drank, Mofo, Drank, Mofo, Drank!" The sinister couple finds a willing accomplice: Mr. Fall Out Boy takes a spig and is immediately wobbly in the knees.


"That's it, boi, that's it. Now you're cool like us!" Kanye says. "Aint it cool?" ("It's cool, ain't it, baby?" he says to Amber, who nods approvingly.)
"Cool, now who else can we get to engage in this 11th grade display of juvenilia?" he asks.


Meanwhile outside the VMAs, thousands of regular people look on disapprovingly ... well, almost everyone does.



"Oh snap! It's Mr. Jackson!" Kanye says. "Mr. Jackson, I got this here brown liquor and if you take a swig you'll feel 10 feet tall, bra!" (hands it to Joe Jackson).
"Hmm, lemme see (holds the bottle up for 3 seconds). Nah, i already got that," he says. "My record company -- my new record company -- already got one of those, you'll see."

But they soon find another victim: Diddy.
Diddy: "Hmmm, this is good. It's no Ciroc, but it's good."



Kanye later goes up on stage and utters the now immortal phrase: "Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!" But he did it while Taylor Swift was giving her acceptance speech for winning best female video. At press time, Hennessy had no comment.

What Kanye needs: Alexis Phifer

The recent spazz-out by Kanye West at the VMAs (and the subsequent shamefulness on "The Jay Leno Show") speaks volumes about the influences in Kanye's life right now: He's on top of the world, making millions in dough, and got a hot model chick on his arm but ... he's not happy.
The death of his mother pretty much destroyed any semblance of a normal life for the guy. He needs one thing: His ex-girlfriend back.
This is the perfect time for Alexis Phifer to come back on the scene. She bonded with Kanye before stripper-turned-model Amber Rose came on the scene. She befriended Donda West. She knew Donda West.
Kanye seems lost right now (Did you see him and Amber drinking Hennessy at the VMAs?.
Where is Alexis?

Will People Boycott Kanye West?

Not that most of us would know Taylor Swift from the checkout girl at Whole Foods, but it's the blasted point: Kanye, take your meds, bro, for real.He's 'SOOOO SORRY' now.
Whether it was Hennessy or what, the "College Dropout's" interruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at last night's MTV Video Music Awards left a sour taste in everybody's mouth.
As a result, many radio stations are saying they won't play anymore Kanye West music, and more importantly, many fans are raising the issue of boycott. People calling into radio stations and web sites are raising a big stink about Kanye, and rightfully so.
The latest antics just may cost the Jay-Z protege the goodwill of the people, and his most loyal fan base. As we all know African-Americans aren't the people buying hip-hop these days, and Kanye just might feel his latest outburst in the pocket.

Interestingly, Kanye West has apparently interrupted Obamaas well.

Nicki Minaj and Amber Rose:The New Salt and Pepa?

Seems New York rapper Nicki Minaj and Ford model Amber Rose are best buds these days, from Amber's infatuation to Nicki's coyness about love life, these girls have grown tight as naps.
But we think they would actually make a pretty cool duo, if Amber stepped to the mic in a lyrical way. Wouldya think? The new Salt n Pepa? The new Cookie Crew (memba them?)

Kanye Flips His Louie Vuitton Lid!

The paps are about to catch a serious 808 beatdown from the looks of Kanye West. Can't a brother enjoy a day out with this stripper girlfriend without all the Flashing Lights? Geeesh.

Take 4: Kanye Waxing Beyonce

Games people play: Beyonce caught a beatdown in Take 4 by Kanye West, which I can relate to because my 13-year-old niece did the same to me. But she can't see at on "Battleship," though (sticks chest out).
Games people play.

If Amber Rose was a vampire ...

... would she still be hot?

The Visible Lover Phenomenon: Hearting Amber Rose

You'd be hard-pressed to find a celebrity hotter than Amber Rose right now.
Usher, yeah, he's pretty hot right now, due to his filing for divorce, but that's falling by the wayside.
RiRi? She's falling back down to normalcy now, a 6 on our 10-point attention barometer.
Madonna? Old news?
But Amber Rose, famous for ... exactly what again? I mean what did she have something, anything going on that would thrust her into the national spotlight?
Quite like this?
(Crickets)
Right, that's the point. I mean, we heart her with her buzzcut and all. But she's simply the Visible Lover of Kanye West, the most highly public, attention-loving, grandoise entertainer alive today.

Why is Amber Rose famous? Call it the V.L.P: Visible Lover Phenomenon.
People just love to know who celebrities are sleeping with.
There have been other VLPs: Stedman Graham comes to mind; Pharrell used to sport "Vashtie" everywhere he went a few years ago. But England follows them way more than the States.
But celebrities no doubt should be able to do what they want, but lovers should also be able to decide if they want to be apart of the VLP as well.
In the NBA, many don't.
But VLP is a blessing and curse, just ask other celebrities.
The only thing they have in the end ... is a VH1 reality show.

Have You Seen The 'New Look'?

If you've been under a rock the past 5 years then you probably have yet to notice the curious stylee that has sweeped across the land.
No, not the saggy pants-one-hand-holding-up-the-britches look, but the straight leg, tight pants look that the male species is rocking these days.
Kanye West and his crew were recently seen groomed out in the look, which is one-part UK Rude boy, one-part dandy gentleman.
Is it from the punk scene? Actually the Europeans (and many in Africa) have been styling like this for years, especially with the loud, florescent colors and what not.
Now, the style is prominent here in the States. But, the bigger question for all of humanity is ... is it cool?

Kanye West Disses Twitter 'Farce'

On his blog, the Mighty One disses Twitter some good, due to a heinous imposter that has a gazillion followers. Ye says the heads of Twitter know good and well he doesn't have an account. In part, he says:
WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER??? I ONLY BLOG 5 PERCENT OF WHAT I'M UP TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'M ACTUALLY SLOW DELIVERING CONTENT BECAUSE I'M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I'M NOT AND I'M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN'T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF.
Ouch, Kanye. And the top dogs at Twitter? They've taken the Kanye Twitter account down.
"Mosey along now. Nothing to see here."
