Kanye West Goes Shirtless for Vogue
Music producer Kanye West appears shirtless in the March 2012 Vogue feature on Riccardo Tisci, creative director of Givenchy. In the excerpt below, Tisci shares his experience on working with The Throne (from Rap Radar).
Tisci’s passion for music has taken him around the world. His strong connection to the worlds of rap and R&B led his friends Kanye West and Jay-Z to enlist his services as art director for their collaborative album, Watch The Throne.
“I was a little bit scared, ” admits Tisci, “Because I’m not an artist or graphic artist.” He finally agreed and was awed when a meeting sequed into a jam session that involved Rihanna, Swizz Beatz and Pharrell Williams, all freely exchanging ideas “like a family giving opinions to each other,” remembers Tisci, “sharing – which is something that fashion is missing,” he adds plaintively.
His artwork for the single “H.A.M.” and the album (which reached number one on iTunes in 24 countries) draw Tisci’s childhood passion for mythology and religious iconography and his current engagement with psychedelic prints and graphics”
Kanye West’s Super Bowl Ad; Plus, Banned Durex Condom Ad
Super Bowl 46 was viewed by over 111 million worldwide on Sunday. The 2012 Super Bowl commercials fetched an average of $3.5 million for each 30-second spot. Music producer and rapper Kanye West pocketed some change from one of those spots: Budweiser’s Bud Light Platinum ad, which featured the intro from Kanye’s track “Runaway” off of his platinum album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
Watch the Bud Light SB ad after the break, plus the banned Durex condom Super Bowl commercial that you never got the chance to see (and I wish I didn’t see).
Celebs Out & About: Kanye West, Queen Latifah, Rihanna, Chris Brown
Rumors started last week that ex lovers Rihanna and Chris Brown were seeing each other again, but the rumors are not true. Brown and his girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, were spotted leaving the Greystone Manor separately, and at different times, after a night of partying.
Chris Brown left the club through the front door and climbed into his Range Rover with his girlfriend, KT, and some friends, while Rihanna, looking desperate and lonely, left through a side door and got into a waiting SUV with a bodyguard. My sources tell me Rihanna and CB didn’t speak to each other. The media insists on putting these troubled kids back together, but the truth is they are just friends.
Meanwhile, Rihanna was spotted looking wasted as she arrived at LAX airport from Hawaii where she was spotted smoking pounds of weed and drinking to drunken excess. Rihanna looked terrible and we’re all worried for her. The way Rihanna looks now, even Chris Brown doesn’t want her.
Fashion FAIL: Justin Bieber’s FAKE Louis Vuitton – How We Got the Story
About 4 years ago, Louis Vuitton announced its plans to discontinue the custom orders division of its luxury brand. This meant they would no longer accept custom orders for bags or clothing from celebrities or the public.
This news came at a time when Kanye West’s custom $6,300 LV backpack was all the rage on the blogs.
I wanted a smaller version of that backpack, but a rep at the Louis Vuitton corporate office assured me that LV would “probably” resume accepting custom orders “in the future” (this was 3 years ago).
So imagine my surprise when I saw the pictures of Justin Bieber wearing what appeared to be a custom made Louis Vuitton jacket to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week.
In Case You Missed It: The Game, Season 5, Episodes 1 & 2
The highly-anticipated season 5 of BET’s scripted series The Game premiered last night, and the reactions to the show were mixed.
The Game’s director Bille Woodruff decided to take the show in a slightly different direction from the past 4 seasons. For starters, the show was lost without the wit and dead-on comedic timing of the sexy Brittany Daniels (Kelly Pitts).
Twitter.com users offered up a myriad of reasons why Brittany was no longer on the show (from money issues to taking a leave of absence). Whatever the reason, her presence was sorely missed.
Director Woodruff decided to water down the intensely independent Tasha Mack (played by Wendy Raquel Robinson, above right), and give her more emotions and feelings. And just to make sure we understood that Tasha Mack’s character has grown (and is no longer funny), Kanye West’s anemic single “Lost In The World” played annoyingly in the background of her scenes.
The newest addition to the cast, Ray J’s sister Brandy Norwood, left, added nothing to the show as bartender Chardonnay. Her faux hood character was annoying and the scenes with her and Coby Bell (Jason Pitts) dragged to a crawl.
Cover Art for Amber Rose’s Fame Whore Single
Loyal reader Lisa McGhee sent in this exclusive cover for Amber Rose’s much-anticipated 1st single. Rose once made a living polishing stripper poles in Philadelphia until she lucked up with one of her customers — Kanye West.
Kanye was badly in need of beard services, having battled pesky ghey rumors for most of his storied career. Kanye made Amber into a star of sorts, and she made him look virile and very straight.
Eventually, Kanye got tired of Amber using him and he kicked her to the curb. So the former bisexual stripper found another sucker in smoked out rapper Wiz Khalifa, and now she’s using him to get famous.
Anyway, Amber’s single “Fame” will be released exclusively on Perez Hilton’s blog on Tuesday at 9am EST. But we don’t read that blog. So we’ll wait until Miss Jia posts the single on her blog to hear if it’s any good.
I’m so excited to release my first song… It’s CRAZY! Working with Wiz is a dream come true; I am fortunate to have his support.
This is a very personal song to me that I wanted to record for my fans. I want people to see the world from my eyes, you know, from BEHIND MY SHADES! It’s my interpretation of what it means to be “FAMOUS,” which is not something superficial but instead being self-confident and happy with who you are.
You can feel famous everyday if you believe in yourself! Source
