Kanye West: Kim Kardashian Is More Influential Than Michelle Obama
During his interview on Ryan Seacrest’s show this week, Kanye West said he was still insulted that Vogue magazine cut Kim out of a photo featuring him at the Met Costume Gala earlier this year. He is also pissed that Vogue Editor-in-chief Anna Wintour passed Kim over for another cover.
“There’s no way Kim Kardashian shouldn’t be on the cover of Vogue,” he whined. “She’s like the most intriguing woman right now. She’s got Barbara Walters calling her like everyday.”
Collectively, we’re the most influential with clothing,” he boasted. “None is looking at what [President Barack Obama] is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a pic like what my girl Instagramed the other day.”

Tyler, The Creator Responds To will.i.am’s Criticism
Tyler, The Creator and will.i.am ran into each other at the Yeezus tour in L.A. on Monday night. According to Tyler, will.i.am criticized him and said he he will soon “sell out” for the money. Tyler logged onto twitter and ranted about the while situation. Read the tweet below:

Drake Speaks On “Trophies”

Chris Brown Reportedly Heads To Rehab
Textbook play, although I don’t know if this will keep him from going to prison. From CNN:
Chris Brown is reaching into Lindsay Lohan’s playbook for avoiding jail: Go to rehab before your court date.
The singer’s arrest Sunday on an assault charge put him on a path toward a possible prison sentence, but he will be in a rehabilitation facility as his next court date approaches.
“Chris Brown has elected to enter a rehab facility,” said a statement Tuesday night from his representative. “His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point.”
There has been no indication that Brown, 24, has a substance abuse problem. The behavior that has landed him in legal trouble over the past several years has been anger management.
The Los Angeles County district attorney appears in no mood to cut Brown any breaks, which suggests that prosecutors will ask for jail time for him because of the arrest early Sunday in the shadow of the White House. While the simple assault charge in Washington is a misdemeanor, it could trigger a probation revocation.
Brown is in a vulnerable position. The Los Angeles judge overseeing his felony probation could order him to complete as many as four years in prison for the beating of Rihanna if he is found in violation of probation.
