It looks like Kanye West’s girlfriend Amber Rose is blindfolded and being led into BOA by her friends for a surprise party. But that’s not the case. Actually she’s wearing trendy visor style sunglasses at night for the coolness factor, but it doesn’t help her eyesight any. Hopefully, she didn’t walk into any walls.

STEP ASIDE KARL LAGERFELD, HERE COMES KANYE WEST!

There’s nothing Kanye West enjoys more than stealing all the thunder at Paris shows during Fashion Week. He makes sure his girlfriend Amber Rose wears something absolutely outrageous so the photographers will go crazy. Here they are at the Chanel show, and you can bet Amber’s gold cocoon look is not Chanel.

ELTON JOHN DOESN’T LET KANYE WEST GET ON HIS NERVES

Filed Under: Elton John > Hawaii > Kanye West > Smoking

We’re always interested in who pals around with Elton John – we were surprised to learn about his drug counseling friendship with Eminem. Elton performed in Honolulu last weekend and Kanye West was seen hanging out in Elton’s dressing room backstage. According to a witness, Kanye was nonchalantly devouring fried chicken and smoking Newports, and Elton was visibly recoiling from the smell of the food and cigarettes, but he was “too polite to say anything.”

It’s a miracle that Kanye West and Amber Rose weren’t asked to leave any of the fancy stores where they shopped in Rome, when you observe how he walked around – with droopy pants and his underwear on display! The pair nonchalantly browsed in Fendi and Missoni, oblivious to the startled people with a rear view of them. What must they think of Americans?

LADY GAGA DOESN’T NEED KANYE WEST

Filed Under: Bad Behavior > Concert > Kanye West > Lady Gaga

Kanye West’s big mouth is NOT increasing his popularity. He’s currently featured with Lady GaGa on her Fame Kills tour and it started out as a 50-50 deal, but his name has been taken off ads and marketing although he IS still performing. Kanye HAS been talking about “taking a vacation” so maybe he won’t do the entire tour – especially since GaGa has proved she can hold her own. Insiders believe that his name was removed because he turns too many people OFF.

KANYE WEST AND THE CHICKEN TANTRUM

Kanye West made a fool of himself again Saturday night at Common’s benefit concert at The Palladium in Hollywood. Here’s the story: Kanye arrived minutes before he was set to go onstage as the last act of a star-studded charity show. Besides Common, Nas, Ludacris, Mos Def, De La Soul, Heavy D, Queen Latifah, and other acts had delighted the crowd. They were all relaxing in the green room when Kanye walked in and noticed a guy eating chicken. He took offense and blurted petulantly “Why wasn’t I offered chicken? It’s NOT FAIR- you want me to perform for free – everyone is eating – WHY AM I NOT EATING!” A waiter apologized and pointed out “You didn’t ask for chicken!” Well, I’m ASKING NOW!! Other celebrities watched Kanye’s loud chicken tantrum in total shock. His girlfriend Amber Rose just stepped back and let him rant. The waiter rushed him a plate of chicken and Kanye literally took ONE bite and dumped it before he grabbed the mic and went onstage, leaving everyone shaking their heads.

JAY LENO SCORED THE KANYE WEST APOLOGY

Filed Under: Bad Behavior > Jay Leno > Kanye West

How lucky was Jay Leno to have Kanye West booked on the debut of his new show tonight? Conan and Dave must be grinding their teeth. Apparently Kanye was also grateful for the opportunity to apologize for his appalling behavior at the MTV Video awards. It looks like egotistical Kanye was very surprised to find out that other people didn’t agree with his opinion that Beyonce should have won the award that Taylor Swift received. His advisors are frantically pushing him to lay off the obnoxious behavior, but he does love attention. His apologetic appearance should give nervous Jay some extra oomph for opening night.

MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS: TAYLOR SWIFT KEPT HER COOL WHILE KANYE WEST ACTED LIKE A FOOL

Filed Under: Bad Behavior > Kanye West > MTV Video Music Awards > Taylor Swift

It was great TV, but our hearts went out to Taylor Swift when numbskull Kanye West butted into her acceptance speech for Best Female Video, grabbed her mic and announced that Beyonce had the best video. Poor Taylor, only 19, was frozen with shock and when the audience started BOOING it was evident for a horrible moment that she feared they were booing HER! Eventually it became apparent that they were booing West and he responded with a rude gesture. We felt bad for the shaken Taylor, but she behaved graciously and this will certainly be the award she never forgets.

KANYE WEST'S GIRLFRIEND AMBER ROSE HAS A LAPSE IN TASTE. OR IS IT KANYE?

This photo of Kanye West and his girlfriend Amber Rose leaving the Gramercy Hotel in NYC perhaps illustrates why Kanye did NOT invite Amber to attend the Paris fashion events. The shiny red spandex pants would have made her stick out like a sore thumb in the fashion capital – and not in a good way. Too bad, because she has a beautiful face. Apparently Kanye’s expensive taste has not rubbed off on Amber.

KANYE WEST AND HIS NEW BEST FRIEND KARL LAGERFELD

Kanye West is in Paris for men’s fashion week – he attended the Dior show, and he was seen buttering up Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld. We wish we could have eavesdropped on THEIR conversation. They both look very stern. Kanye does a lot of shopping at Chanel – after Christmas he was seen returning an armload of merchandise.

KANYE WEST IS NOT EASY TO PLEASE

Kanye West got caught in the act of returning a bunch of Christmas gifts to the Chanel store. He must be difficult to shop for. Last year after the holidays he returned a mountain of clothes to Barneys in Beverly Hills and they told him he had to return each item separately to the department it came from. He was not happy.

DID KANYE WEST TAKE IT OUT ON THE MTV CARPET?

Filed Under: Bad Behavior > Kanye West > MTV

Two years ago Kanye West stormed the stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards to complain about not getting best video. This year he was honored with the Ultimate Urban Award, so he should have been happy, right? Maybe he didn’t like his accommodations this time around, because the rumor has just surfaced that he peed on his dressing room carpet instead of going to the mens room. We’re thinking the unlucky UK group Ting Tings who SHARED that dressing room with Kanye, are the ones who leaked the story.

KANYE WEST CARRIES ON WITHOUT BARACK OBAMA

Kanye West made quite a splash at his home town – Chicago – at the Lollapalooza Music Festival in Grant Park last weekend. Here he is being driven around, wrapped in his white hood in spite of warm weather. A rumor circulated that Barack Obama would introduce Kanye, but that prove not to be true. He was still a big hit and dedicated his performance to his mother ” who drove me to Chicago at age three.”

KANYE WEST SHAMELESSLY EXPLOITED MEMORY OF HIS MOTHER AT GRAMMYS

Filed Under: Grammys > Kanye West > Mother

We actually started to forgive Kanye West for his arrogance and egocentricity after his mother died so tragically. His appearance on the Grammys changed all that good will. He used the memory of his mother to call MORE attention to himself and solicit pity. First he sang that melodramatic song dedicated to her, with all the James Brown theatrics, including angels floating in the sky. But that wasn’t enough. Later, when he was making a long dull acceptance speech and the music started softly playing to hurry him up, he became outraged. Holier than thou Kanye started up again with a dedication to his mother to make himself look not like a blowhard, but a devastated son. Cheap manipulation.

KANYE WEST IS MORE SENSITIVE THAN ONE WOULD SUSPECT

Filed Under: Kanye West > LA Lakers

Maybe Kanye West isn’t as arrogant as he wants us to think. Last Sunday he was at a Lakers game and they played his song “Goldigger.” Kanye was sitting courtside and when the jumbotron flashed his image, there was a ROAR of applause for him! He looked completely overwhelmed by the warm response. And he really WAS touched – minutes later he was seen in the tunnel crying.

BETTER GAY THAN TRUCULENT

Filed Under: 50 Cent > Feud! > Kanye West

Neighbors are astounded by the fact that Kanye West has 24 hour around-the-clock bodyguards watching his house in the Hollywood Hills. He’s not exactly the gangsta type that needs protection. “It must cost a fortune – what’s he afraid of?” said a curious neighbor. That got us wondering if his feud with 50 Cent has escalated. Hardcore 50 Cent has barely concealed his contempt for Kanye’s “softer” music. He dissed Kanye when he said “I think middle America would rather have their kids be GAY than have them be aggressive.” (Did he say that because Kanye shops at Barneys?) Despite the big bucks he spends on security, Kanye still eats at economical Baja Fresh on Sunset nearly every day!

ONE LOOK WAS ALL IT TOOK

Filed Under: Bono > Kanye West

Here’s the scoop on Bono’s visit to The Grove that we warned you about: Kanye West was minding his own business browsing in Nordstrom at the Grove Sunday with his fiancee and her child when he noticed the store was abuzz with excitement. People were making a mad dash for the second floor. A store executive noticed Kanye and explained that Bono was autographing t-shirts upstairs to raise money for his African charity. He invited Kanye to make an appearance to support the cause and Kanye agreed. But he took one look at the frenzied mob of people around Bono and stopped in his tracks. A witness said ” It was like a religious experience- people were in AWE of Bono like he was The Pope or something. They PRAISED him for making the world a better place!” Women were weeping and men were trying to touch Bono. Kanye and his group decided against infiltrating THAT crowd, and slipped away to shop elsewhere.
