I think this might be the first bad thing I've heard about Kanye West's tour. His massive set took so long to assemble that he was almost 2 hours late for performing. Angered fans began chanting, "Kanye sucks."

West had been scheduled to take the main stage at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival at 2:45 a.m. Sunday morning. While the sleepy thousands in the audience waited, a message on the jumbotrons told them West's show would be delayed until 3:15 a.m., and when that didn't happen, that he would start at 3:30. West didn't hit the stage until 4:25 a.m.

UGH. Concerts are always delayed and it's so frustrating! Yet, you know that the one time you decide you'll just show up late so you don't have to wait forever for the artist to take the stage...that's the day the performer will be on time! Murphy's Law?

Kanye West was just one celeb who came out for the Bape Store's L.A. opening.  Check thumbnails for pictures of Serena Williams, Pete Wentz, Jonah Hill, Jermaine Dupri, Robin Thick, Paula Patton and Pharrell Williams. Check out what my cyber friends are writing about.

The celebrities came out for Kanye West's Glow In The Dark Tour party held at Club Goa...infamous for being the scene of Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag's showdown on Monday's episode of The Hills.  Who watched that?  I was surprised that the whole thing was such a big deal.  I would have thought that LC would be capable of at least just sitting at a table with Heidi for a little while...it's not like they had to talk or anything!  What do you think, was Lauren overreacting or was Heidi overstepping her boundaries by going to sit with the group?Click on thumbnails to see pictures of Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Kristen Cavallari, Wilmer Valdarrama, Brody Jenner and Michael Johns....that's quite the mix!WENN

Poor Kanye West. He attempted to sing "Hey Mama" on stage last night only days after losing his own mother and broke down in tears. Her funeral hasn't even happened yet. You can't expect this man to be ready to perform as usual. Towards the end of the film, you can see a few band mates come up to console him which was heartwarming. Eventually, Kanye had to leave the stage to compose himself and when he returned he sang "Stronger" instead.
May you find peace Kanye.

Is. that. James. Franco? He looks... different. Actually, a lot different since we featured him as a Hot Guy of the Day. Here he is attending the Takashi Murakami celebration honoring Louis Vuitton artistic director, Marc Jacobs at a Gala Celebrating the Murakami Exhibition at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. Say that ten times fast. What a mouthful!A slew of celebs walked the red carpet as well:

• Cindy Crawford
• Kanye West and Alexis Phifer
• Christina Ricci
• Linda Evangelista
• Ali Landry
• Ellen De Generes & Portia de Rossi
• Dita Von Teese
• Serena Williams

Kanye West always keeps it interesting. In the above interview, he said when people see him driving his SLR, he makes their day. Totally random!! He also talks about how 'white guys can't wear chains' and 'black people can't wear tighter jeans'. Dropping the knowledge... dropping the knowledge.

And going in a totally different direction - check out the above video of Kid Rock in a photo shoot talking about new music.

Did you miss Kanye West making fun of his losing streak on The Emmys last night? I thought it was pretty funny! This skit is a heck of a lot different from his raw VMA rant right?

Kanye West ran on stage to have a hissy fit when he lost out for Best Video. I almost don't believe this! If someone has the You Tube link, please post it in the comments section. It seems he was a little upset about not winning and started cursing and swearing to the audience. If you want to read what he said, click on the read more link below. I don't want to have it on my main page because he does use fowl language.
