Kanye Bites The Hand That Feeds Him

kanye1.jpg

Kanye West wasn't joking around last week when at a dinner celebrating Hussein Chalayan he said he wasn't doing interviews anymore.

Fed up with the invasive nature of today's media, Kanye went on a free-style tirade against the press during his performance on Wednesday at the Casio G-Shock party, spitting lines like "I'm sorry I broke your arm/I meant to break your camera."

Funny considering Casio marketed the event as a press conference to be accompanied by a concert. Kanye seems to have a lot of pent up anger toward the press! 

On the one hand, we kind of get it - we're sure it's frustrating as a major icon to have words put in your mouth and have your fans believe it. 

That said, when you pursue a career as a public figure you sort of sign up for this shit. It's the price you pay for the fabu life you live.  The press keeps you current.

After the performance, he stayed true to his word.  When introduced to a reporter, he evaded all questions and instead drew the attention to his lady, model Amber Rose, telling the journo "she just did her first shoot for Ford."

That's cute.  At least he's not being a direct dick!

Still, we wonder, how does he plan to promote his albums?  Or his shoes?  Or all the other things we're sure he'll put out over the next few years? 

He can only hate on the media (to stay in the media) for so long!

Copy, Paste, Save

Paste magazine was about to shut its doors, but thanks to a conservation campaign, the Georgia-based music mag will remain in business. For the time being.

The campaign raised $250,000 (impressive!) and the mag has "published two issues since the campaign began, sent a third to the printer and are seeing advertising pick up for the fall and expect to be around for a long time."

The magazine implemented several strategies in order to battle its financial crisis, including "a 20 percent pay cut, leasing out office space and eliminating all 'non-essential travel.'"

They hope to reinstate employees' salaries before the end of the year.

Farrah Fawcett's Friend To Pen Death Diary!

wenn-farrah__opt11.jpg

Just in case you forgot, Farrah Fawcett is still dead too. And her BFF Alana Stewart would like to remind you with a book she's written recounting her 30 year friendship with Fawcett as well as share her point of view on the actress' final days.

Stewart, who was at Fawcett's bedside throughout the entire cancer battle, says that she was encouraged not only by Fawcett, but by Fawcett's life partner, Ryan O'Neal, to write the book. She does admit that she "agonized over the decision," but you know what cures agony? Money!

My Journey with Farrah A Story of Life, Love, and Friendship is slated for an August release and will contain "a celebration of the incredible bond between the two women, the power of Farrah's spirit, and the memories from their 30 years together" and "never-before-seen photos and deeply intimate revelations on life and spirituality."

"Portions" of the proceeds will benefit the Farrah Fawcett Foundation for cancer research.

Seriously??? Lauren Conrad Tops The NYT Best Seller List

wenn5313113conrad.jpg

Lauren Conrad is a best selling author!

People are really into crap these days, huh???

Conrad's "novel", L.A. Candy, has sat atop the New York Times Best Seller list for two weeks in a row!

L.C. doesn't even believe the news herself!

"If someone said to me five years ago when this all started that I would one day make the New York Times Best Seller list I wouldn't have believed it," Conrad recently told reporters.

Honey, you're not alone!

Timberpuss Wants To Be An Author!

wenn-justintimberpuss8923.jpg

No dish about Brit Brit????

Lameballs!!!

Justin Timberlake is hoping to pen a book…..about golfing.

Srsly!

Just WHAT we need: Timberpuss' ego further elevated! Way to go literary people.

The book is allegedly a memoir following "Timberlake’s time on the green and his experiences playing with various competitors." That sounds like it's going to be a really short book!

According to the New York Observer, in June, a literary agent sent book editors a Timberlake-penned golf book proposal.

Does Tiger Woods even have one of these? Because we're fairly sure he is infinitely more qualified to write a golf memoir than JT.

Stop doing stupid shiz like this and make some damn music. Bring the sexy back!
