Kanye West

With the George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin case commencing, the Fidel Castro comments made by Miami Marlins coach Ozzie Guillen, and -- worse yet -- the budding romance between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, 'Saturday Night Live' is just trying to make sense of it all. That's where Piers Morgan steps in.

Wednesday night on Twitter, Kanye West admitted that he hadn't bought a car or a piece of jewelry in two years. Why? Well, if the rest of his burst of Twitter activity is any indication, it's because the hip-hop superstar is too busy trying to CHANGE THE WHOLE WORLD.

There are many bizarre Tweet-ers at the social networking site Twitter, and Kanye West's name often comes up as the strangest of the bunch. But when reenacted by kids in these cute videos, Kanye's Tweets become even more entertaining.

Have you ever used MegaUpload? Chances are you have, if this new video claiming it has 1 billion users is true.

The Occupy Wall Street protests are going strong in several cities, and now famous names are starting to get involved. Gothamist reports that hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons guided Kanye West through the crowds of the Occupy protest in New York City's Zuccotti Park on Monday afternoon, but their brush with the front lines of class warfare didn't last long. After a brief cameo, both Simmons and West

Love him or hate him, Kanye West will not be ignored. Case in point: since joining Twitter in July of 2010, he's racked up more than four million followers. And while some may be true fans of the hip-hop star, others follow just for the comedy -- intentional or otherwise. Crooner Josh Groban has set the often-nonsensical blatherings to music, and The New Yorker has even turned some of Kanye's twe

Next Media Animation, the Taiwanese animation company famous for such gems as the re-enactment of the Tiger Woods car crash and the bizarre recap of Steve Jobs' career, has found its next subject: Beyonce and Jay-Z's unborn baby. The awesomely hilarious clip shows Beyonce's reveal of the pregnancy at the VMAs and envisions the impending birth in a manger, with gossip purveyor TMZ serving as one of

If you liked 'Watch the Throne,' then you'll love 'Kanye: The Musical.' The two-man show, put together by Australian actors Phillip Roser and Damien Higginbotham, doesn't feature any of Kanye West's actual music, but does chronicle the life and times of rap's best-known egocentric -- and takes a bit of creative license while doing so. So, sort of like 'Jersey Boys,' if they couldn't get the rights

What's the recipe for Jay-Z and Kanye West's new music video for 'Otis?' Two parts successful MCs, one part Hollywood's most inventive director (Spike Jonze), a dash of comedy's hottest act (Aziz Ansari) and, of course, the leadoff single from the most highly anticipated hip-hop album of the year.

Being Kanye West is hard. Just ask him. Performing at the Big Chill music festival in England Saturday night, West railed against those who judge him. "I walk through the hotel and I walk down the street, and people look at me like I'm f****** insane, like I'm Hitler," he said, eliciting a light chorus of boos from the crowd.

There are no two visages more recognizable in contemporary rap than Kanye West and Jay-Z. So in the marketing push for 'Watch the Throne,' the duo's upcoming collaboration, it only makes sense to fuse the megastars' mugs together.

Kanye West and Jay-Z have leaked the single 'Otis' from their collaborative album ‘Watch the Throne,’ which is set for an August 1st release. The titular 'Otis' is late soul legend Otis Redding, whose vocals from the classic 'Try a Little Tenderness’ are sampled in the song.
