			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kanye West took to Twitter on Wednesday and unleashed a rant. In the rant, he said that he was going to be the creative director of the Jetsons movie. </p>
<p>West said that he was discussing about becoming the Jetsons creative director. He said that on the call, somebody shouted out that he should do a Jetsons tour. West then launched tweets that spoke of art, fame, education revamping and fashion with director Spike Jonze. </p>
<p>However, when it comes to the Jetsons, Denise DiNovi and Donald De Line, the project’s producers, said that this was news to them. The two said that there is no such thing on a movie. They did say that they do want to use West in the movie though. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kanye West&#8217;s new singled entitled &#8220;Mama&#8217;s Boyfriend&#8221; was recently leaked on the internet. The song was recorded over a year ago, but was not featured on West&#8217;s latest album, &#8220;My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy&#8221;. The track is one of West&#8217;s most personal songs. </p>
<p>West&#8217;s parents got divorced when he was young and he ended up being raised by his mother. &#8220;Mama&#8217;s Boyfriend&#8221; is a song about how he despised all of the men that his mother dated. </p>
<p>He stated that it took him 32 years to write the song. West&#8217;s mother passed away in late 2007 after she suffered complications following plastic surgery.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On a weekend that seen one of the most popular acts on the planet get booed off the stage and have the plug pulled on them, Kanye West closed out the Coachella Festival this past weekend and done a very good job of salvaging a somewhat good festival.</p>
<p>Cee Lo Green had been booed off the stage on Saturday after he showed up twenty minutes late and then was only allowed to play four songs. That bad vibe lingered over into Sunday but the music lightened up the vibe. </p>
<p>Wiz Khalifa, Duran Duran, and The Strokes were some of the major acts that played on the closing Sunday day but West came through with the string of his hits and actually done a very good job of closing out this year&#8217;s Coachella Festival.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that Kanye West cannot find himself without being in some kind of controversy. His latest episode is surrounding a tweet that he made on his Twitter page about abortion. </p>
<p>The summary of his tweet was that women get pregnant on purpose with the full intention of having an abortion so they can extort money from the father. </p>
<p>Fellow singer Lily Allen has been the person who has come out and said that they have been very disturbed and upset about West&#8217;s tweet. </p>
<p>&#8216;I have never been put in such a bad mad in my life&#8217; tweeted Allen concerning West&#8217;s diatribe. Justin Beiber also responded and he said that he was against abortion because after all it was still the killing of an unborn child.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kanye West snuck in a video premiere on MTV without any sort of hype or pre-promotion. The video is for the song “All of the Lights” off his new album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.” About an hour before the video was scheduled to air for the first time a brief announcement was given. </p>
<p>Rihanna makes an appearance in the video which definitely increases the wow factor. </p>
<p>The popular singer wears a very skimpy outfit that threatens to reveal more skin with one wrong move. Rapper Kid Cudi also makes an appearance. </p>
<p>The video is a lot of bright and colorful flashing lights repeating the song‘s title. A story of domestic violence is told in the video. </p>
<p>The violence is a story that hits close to home for Rihanna and her self-proclaimed big brother West.<br />

<p>In a world where everyone is glued to their phones all day, it’s refreshing to hear that there is one celebrity who does not use phones. According to Justin Bieber, Kanye West has a phobia to phones. </p>
<p>The two artists were working on a Justin’s new LP. Kanye preferred to communicate through email instead of the phone. </p>
<p>‘&#8217;It&#8217;s funny, because he doesn&#8217;t even use a phone, he just sends email. It&#8217;s so crazy. I&#8217;m like, &#8216;How can you not use a phone?&#8221; Stated Justin to MTV News. </p>
<p>Justin also stated that Kanye is a nice and cool guy to be around.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Marion, &#8220;Suge&#8221; Knight, former founder of Death Row Records, lost his $1 million lawsuit against Kanye West in Miami federal court earlier this month. Knight was shot during a pre-Video Music Awards party in 2005 at Miami&#8217;s Shore Club. </p>
<p>Celebs in attendance included The Black-eyed Peas, Paris Hilton, Jessica Alba and Eddie Murphy among others. Although no one has been charged with the shooting, Knight pointed the finger at West and the Shore Club claiming inadequate security was provided for the party. </p>
<p>The shooting pierced Knight&#8217;s upper leg, adding to his longtime financial and legal difficulties. The rap mogul also claims to have lost a pair of diamond earrings valued at $150,000 in the fracus. </p>
<p>The Miami judge ruled that the six shots fired could not have been reasonably forseen by the Shore Club or West. An earlier settlement meeting between Knight and West, though lasting approximately five hours, also yielded no agreement.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fans of Kanye West are giving rave reviews of his musical film &#8220;Runaway&#8221; which debuted Saturday on MTV. </p>
<p>The film is described as a musical journey through time with powerful images that ouch your every emotion.</p>
<p>Critics have described it as a &#8220;whole lotta nothin&#8221;, but if you look deeper and try to understand the images you might be taken aback.</p>
<p>The film tells the story of a phoenix, played by Selita Ebanks who falls to earth and lands at the front of a car driven by Kanye West. West then spends the rest of the movie trying to introduce the phoenix to earth.</p>
<p>The movie is different, but expressive. West directs this effort and doesn&#8217;t disappoint. Viewers are left to ponder many things at the end of the film, including their own place in this world. A lot to think about and digest, give it a view.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rapper Kanye West has a reputation for being animated, most notably thanks to his recent infamy for going on stage an interrupting the acceptance speech of Taylor Swift during the MTV Video Music Awards. However, now West is truly going to be animated.</p>
<p>West will be &#8220;appearing&#8221; on an upcoming episode of the Fox animated series, The Cleveland Show, a spin-off from the successful series, Family Guy. He will be portraying a small-time rapper named Kenny West. Taraji P. Henson will also appear on the episode, voicing the part of West&#8217;s girlfriend, Chanel.</p>
<p>Producers of the show said they knew West was a big fan of Family Guy, as he had invited the show&#8217;s creator, Seth MacFarlane to his house in the past. They also said that West not only surpassed their expectations in terms of professionalism, but that he also blew them away with his sense of humor and performance.</p>
<p>So much so, in fact, that this might not be a one-time deal for West. Reports from the recording studio, a place where it comes as no surprise that West found himself to be more than comfortable, are that the writers of the show are considering writing this character into future episodes of the program. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A twenty-five-year-old classic is being remade in a new millennium to support a new cause. &#8220;We Are the World,&#8221; written in 1985 by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie to benefit African famine relief, is being re-recorded by some of today&#8217;s most popular artists in order to raise funds to provide aid for earthquake-ravaged Haiti.</p>
<p>Seventy-five singers contributed to the 2010 version of the song, including such diverse names as Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, Barbara Streisand, Lil&#8217; Wayne, Celine Dion, Brian Wilson, and Enrique Inglesias. In a tribute to the original effort, the new recording was made in the same studio as the original, Henson Recording Studios, located in Hollywood, on February 1. Screenwriter and director Paul Haggis (In the Valley of Elah) directed the video for the song, which is set to appear on February 12 on NBC during the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics.</p>
<p>The original recording of &#8220;We Are the World&#8221; raised over $60 million dollars for the organization USA for Africa. Its lyrics urge listeners to &#8220;heed a certain call&#8221; and &#8220;start giving.&#8221; Haiti was hit by a devastating earthquake on January 12, which has left approximately 200,000 people dead and over a million more homeless.</p>
