Kanye West Archives

Mischa Barton sits next to Kanye West at the Elie Saab fashion show during Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2009 on Wednesday (January 28) in Paris, France.

The night before however, Mischa Barton was spotted with the Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard. MTV reports they couldn’t keep their lips off each other when they were at a London comedy club.

“They couldn’t keep their hands off each other they were snogging like teenagers,” said a witness. “They missed most of the comedians and were starting to annoy some of the other drinkers who were trying to listen to the acts on stage. They seem very into each other — there is certainly a lot of physical attraction.”

Kanye West and LV creative director Marc Jacobs (in another skirt) show off a red Louis Vuitton shoe designed by Kanye during Paris Fashion Week on Thursday (January 22).

Earlier this month, Kanye showed off a white pair of loafers/sneakers that he also designed. The entire shoe line will be available at LV stores in June.

Kanye also just took to his blog to clear up some rumors and to complain about the tech troubles he’s been having lately. He said, “Yoooo! Why won’t you let me be great!!! I had the two greatest days of my life and when i get back from the Louie [sic] show i read some s– claiming I said I’m down to do porn and some bisexual porn!!!! I can’t believe the AVN would post… I just gave the performance of my lifetime for our new president. Then I flew to Paris and they debuted my new shoes that I designed with Louie [sic] Vuitton which was a dream come true. Please I beg you, give me a break!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me be great!!! Who have I hurt so bad that they want to destroy me? Who have I ever spoke about so negatively?”

Kanye West just previewed one pair of loafer/sneaker designs he did for his Louis Vuitton shoe line.

“Time to crash your Internet server,” he wrote on his blog. “Here’s 1 one of the design’s [sic] I did for Louie [sic]… Sampled in white.”

“Can’t say too much of that though,” Kanye has said of his Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Shoes. “These [aren’t] coming out until June.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK of Kanye’s shoe line so far — HOT or NOT?

Kanye West takes the February 2009 cover of Vibe. Here’s what the 31-year-old Grammy winner had to say (via MTV):

On if he’s comfortable with fame: “I made a decision. I wanna make popular music, but I want less fans. I want the freedom of having less fans. It’s like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility. It’s like Björk. If she wanted to pose naked, you’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s Björk.’ But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it. I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked. I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture.”

On giving praise where it is due: “I believe Beyoncé is the greatest performer of our generation. I believe I am the greatest entertainer of this generation. I go neck-and-neck on Jay-Z and [Lil] Wayne as far as who’s the best lyricist. Jay-Z has longevity.”

Kanye West flashes photographers the peace sign after enjoying a Monday meal at Houston’s restaurant in Century City, Calif.

The 31-year-old recently took to his blog to debunk rumors that he chants to get rid of ghosts and evil spirits. Kanye writes (in all caps), “OK, now this is just stupid! Dude, did you read my book?? Do I seem like a chanter??!! Do I even have time to be sitting around doing that??? Why you gotta mess up my vacation with stupid s–0??? You could’ve waited two more days… Haahaaaaa.”

He continued, “Sidebar: If there’s any parties on New Year’s with my name on it, doooon’t youuuu belieeeeeve it! I’m staying at home for the first time in five years. We did 98 shows this past year!!! I just want to chill, hoop and watch some movies! … And as always… I’m typing in all caps cause I’m lazy not angry!!! Oh, and exclamation points are fun! Hahahaaa!!! (If I had [BlackBerry Messenger], I would make it say I’m typing in all caps cause I’m lazy!!!)

A new Kanye West parody has been unleashed, titled “Kevye West: 808’s and Expirations Dates (Guac Lockdown)” (an obvious pun on Kanye’s latest album, 808s and Heartbreak).

The video’s description reads: “Pitch auto-correction and a simple beat can make anything chart-worthy; even a freestyle about guacamole and expired milk.”

Check it out below — the tape over the sunglasses is genius!

For a live performance of Kanye performing “Heartless” on SNL, check out DailyMotion. His pitch vocal auto-correctors reportedly weren’t functioning properly that performance.
