Forget “Everybody Hates Chris.” … “Everybody Hates KANYE!”

While on the set of Kanye West’s short film “We Were Once a Fairytale,” director Spike Jonze (”Where the Wild Things Are”) couldn’t take Yeezy’s antics anymore so he did what any pissed off director would do to an actor in their film…

He slapped the sh*t out of him! Continue reading for the video.

Mixtape circuit rapper turned rap star Kid Cudi has taken it upon himself to tackle some of the public’s crazy rumors regarding his mentor Kanye West. The word on the sidewalk is that West has taken refuge in an Indian ashram … or that he’s being pressured by those close to him to check into rehab. It all depends on which rumor you choose to believe/feed into.

“All that’s definitely false. I mean … rehab for what? Being awesome?” Cudi said while speaking to MTV News. “We talk every once in a while. Like I said, he’s like a brother to me, I worry just as much as the next person, but when I say Kanye is cool, believe me, Kanye is OK. He’s a strong dude. I mean, we’ve seen him grow from College Dropout to now … the things he’s dealt with, the things he’s been through. He’s a strong dude.”

And until Kanye is ready to step back in the limelight this young star will proudly carry the torch in being the opening act for Lady Gaga’s “Moster Ball” tour.

The year 2009 has been very tabloid friendly to rapper Kanye West, from break-ups to make-ups with Amber Rose, interrupting Taylor Swift at the MTV VMAs, canceling his big world tour with Lady Gaga and the list just goes on and on.

But through it all, Mr. West finally received some relief this past Friday, Los Angeles court commissioner dismissed all three misdemeanor charges against the rapper (and his manager Don C) in connection with a brawl with the paparrazzi at the Los Angeles International Airport in September 2008.

The three misdemeanors were grand theft, battery, and vandalism after the rapper allegedy confronted TMZ reporters and smashed their equipment after he noticed they were snapping pics of him. People magazine is also reporting that in return for the dismissal, the court offered anger management counseling for his random public outbursts and scuffles with the paparazzi.

Berk, Kanye’s attorney, told MTV news, “Kanye took the charges very seriously [and] responded appropriately by getting counseling to figure out why this happened.”

“RIP Kanye West” became a trending topic on Twitter (and Google) earlier this week after a hacking organization known as 4Chan hacked into credible news websites, including Fox.com (as seen above) and began spreading a story about Kanye West dying in a car crash Tuesday (Oct 20).

Kanye’s girlfriend Amber Rose immediately came to her man’s defense via her Twitter, saying that she didn’t find any humor in continuing to spread word that Kanye had died, even though it had been made clear that he was alive and well.

‘RIP Kanye West’ topic is not funny and it’s NOT TRUE! He has people like myself and his family that love him very much. … It’s in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It’s totally disrespectful to make up a story like this we’re all human … and we all make mistakes and to say someone died cuz of a mistake is ridiculous. You wouldn’t want someone to say that about you.”

(01.) Jay-Z was given the honor of being the top emcee in the rap game for the year 2009, according to MTV. They give most of the credit due to his recent success with his latest album, The Blueprint 3.

Blueprint 3 is another Hov tour de force — and it destroys the myth that there’s an age limit on being a dope MC. At 39 years old, Jay is arguably still better than anybody on the mic today, rhyming with precision and grace. He throws buzzsaws right from the gate on the intro “What We Talking About,” where he raps about what he deems to be nonsense, like dwelling on rap beef.

Live Nation confirmed last week that the Lady Gaga and Kanye West tour, once known as the “Fame Kills” tour, is finito. Rumors of a cancellation circled around the tour after Kanye West showed his azz at the VMAs back in mid-September. Folks were speculating that the tour was canceled due to a mix of poor ticket sales and creative differences, but Gaga says that’s not the reason. She said the decision was mutual and Kanye just wanted to take some time off. She also revealed that she will be going on a solo tour in a few weeks.

“It was a mutual decision,” Lady Gaga told the media at Billboard’s annual Women in Music event Friday (Oct 2). “Kanye’s going to take some time off. But the good news is that I’m going on tour in a few weeks.”

Gaga’s solo tour kicks off in mid-November.

This knucklehead just won’t learn, will he? Your boy Kanye West showed out at Common’s big charity event over the weekend after he spotted some folks eating chicken and he didn’t have any of his own. So like the three-year-old that he seems to be portraying as of late, he threw a temper tantrum and demanded that his requests were granted. All of this over some damn chicken. Then when he got the chicken, he reportedly took a bite and threw it away in the trash while his celebrity friends and his girlfriend Amber Rose looked at him like he was a lunatic.

After spotting a man eating chicken, West blurted, “Why wasn’t I offered chicken? You want me to perform for free, [and] everyone is eating… why am I not eating?”

When the waitress explained that he never asked for food, ‘Ye yelled, “Well, I’m asking now!” After receiving chicken, he allegedly proceeded to take a bite and then throw the rest in the trash. Meanwhile, the rapper’s beau Amber Rose, stood silent, while other celebrities backstage watched in awe.

Other guests that night included Nas, Ludacris, Mos Def, De La Soul, Heavy D and Queen Latifah.

This makes Kanye’s second outburst within the last month. Word on the sidewalk is that he developed a drinking problem after his mother passed back in November 2007. And now his close friends/family members are trying to get him to go to rehab. We think he might need to take up their offer pretty soon before he does any more damage.

Here’s “Forever,” a brand new music video from rappers Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem. The track will be featured first on the soundtrack of Lebron James’ docu-movie “More Than A Game” and second on Drake’s debut album, Thank Me Later, set to drop in February 2010.

Funny man Affion Crockett recently posted this hilarious video spoof to his YouTube page. The video is a parody of Jay-Z’s “Run This Town,” featuring Rihanna and Kanye West, but has a big twist. Instead of the words, “Who’s gonna run this town tonight,” the female portraying Rihanna in the song/video is saying “Who’s gonna hunt Chris Brown tonight?” and the whole video has Rihanna, along with Jay and Kanye (both played by Affion) leading a manhunt to hunt down Chris, also played by Affion. The beginning of the video is completely hilarious as it shows Affion dressed up in a blue sweater and a bow tie mocking Chris’ Larry King interview. You’ve just gotta watch the whole thing… Continue reading to check it out!

Jay-Z has finally spoke his two cents on this whole Kanye West/Taylor Swift drama. In an interview with BBC Radio 1’s Jo Whiley, Jay-Z, who plays big brother/bossman to Kanye, basically explained that although what ‘Ye did was wrong and out of place, his actions weren’t exactly outside of his character.

“[Kanye is] like my little brother, I pretty much introduced him on the first Blueprint… He’s just a super passionate person, and of course it was rude because it was her moment but that’s how he really felt… I think it was rude, but I don’t think, the way they’re treating, it’s on the front of every paper, he didn’t kill anybody, like, no one got harmed… At the end of the day, we’re gonna celebrate him for his passion… As he grows and matures, he’s got to know how to balance that. He’ll learn that in the years to come…That passion wasn’t fake, it wasn’t staged… I don’t think he should lay low, I think he should go on tour and have a brilliant career…The thing you have to realize about it, he’s been that passionate from his first record, he used to jump on tables, I’m trying to make the first Blueprint and he’s jumping on tables. [laughs] If he had changed because of his success, then it would be something else, then it would be a different thing but he’s always been that passionate.”

We agree! What Kanye did was wrong. He’s apologized several times to the public and to Taylor herself. And here it is Friday (5 days after show) and this incident is still a hot topic and it seems like “everybody hates Kanye.” It’s time to move on people. It wasn’t really that dag gone serious!
