Kanye West may not have been having the best week - between the gay rumors, his latest temper tantrum, and a bruised up Lamborghini - but we have a feeling that with this weekend, all of that's about to change!

The sometimes-volatile yet supremely talented rapper has been hard at work recording his new album in Paris, and apparently, has few very creative, larger than life tricks up his sleeve for how he's going to begin its promotional campaign!

Which, of course, started last night, when he projected a video of himself performing his brand new single, New Slaves, onto the sides of 66 BUILDINGS LOCATED ALL OVER THE WORLD!

Ch-ch-check out to what the folks of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, were treated on the corner of Bedford and N. 7 (above)!

Apparently, the track features

She's at it again!!!

Tilda Swinton took a break from being an ethereal cover girl to lend her ENTIRE body for the sake of art once more.

The eccentric actress was caught sleeping in a glass box yesterday for the second time at NYC's MoMA museum for her performance piece, The Maybe.

And this isn't the last time Tilda's Z's will be put on display! The actress is scheduled to snuggle up for all to see at least four more times before the end of 2013 in various parts of the museum.

If only we knew what she was dreaming of!

We've long considered some of Tilda Swinton's acting roles - and even some of her fashion choices - to be performance art, but now, she has seemingly allowed her entire SELF to become a piece for observation in the world of creative self-expression!

Yesterday, the actress spent the entire day fast asleep inside a glass box at the MoMA in New York City, as part of a piece called "The Maybe," which she will apparently repeat "half-dozen more times" before the end of the year!

According to a statement from the MoMA:

Okay, let's get real here, folks.

We all knew this was only a matter of time!

In fact, we're pretty sure there's certain Twi-Hards out there who aren't KICKING themselves for not thinking of this first!

But yes, a Las Vegas woman named Lauren Adkins has reportedly raised $1,235 on the crowdfunding website indiegogo to pay for her upcoming WEDDING ceremony to a cardboard cut-out of Robert Pattinson's character in Twilight, Edward Cullen!

Now, before you explode into a thousand tiny sparkles of rage, jealousy, or any other emotion that may come be seeping through you right now, get this: it's all part of a performance art installation for her MFA thesis, as her focus of study is on ideas of love perpetuated through pop culture and how they affect our own expectations!

As she explains:

Olivia Wilde talked very candidly about her past and present sex life during the These Girls monologues in NYC on Monday, but she wants everyone to know that she and Jason Sudeikis do not have the stamina of "Kenyan marathon runners."

Or at least, that's what we think she's saying.

Following the media attention she received for her seksi comments at the event, the actress tweeted:

Not only does Alice Cooper say he gets Lady GaGa, he says she IS him — but with a vagina:

Lady Gaga is the female Alice Cooper. She totally gets it. She created a character named Lady Gaga and wrote songs for Lady Gaga, just as I write songs for Alice. But when you meet her offstage, she's nothing like that person and neither am I.

Hmm, have you ever mat GaGa? She's pretty consistent to us!

But he does have a point in their similarities. While musically, they may create different styles of art, theatrically it's the same enthusiasm.

He's been known to use real guillotines with forty pound blades, boa constrictors, you name it. And let's not forget the time he hung himself with real rope!

He puts on a show and he commits, just like GaGa.

But while after the show, he can go back to being Vincent Furnier at a game of golf, GaGa doesn't go back to being Stefani Germanotta. She really IS GaGa.

Just like real life, we all knew of bad boy Jo Calderone way before we actually got to know him.

He starred in the You and I video, and he starred on the single's cover art.

But
