KANYE WEST “Coldest Winter” Directed by: NABIL “ITUNES link below” from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.

If you have 11 minutes to spare, check out this interesting short film by Spike Jonze called We Were Once a Fairytale. This film, starring Kanye West, has so much symbolism about fame and celebrity that you may have to watch it twice. I am a fan of Yeezy and Jonze so I thought this was a cool collaboration.

What is your take on it?

By the way, speaking of Spike Jonze, Where the Wild Things Are made $32.5 million in the U.S. and Canada for the opening weekend, according to Los Angeles Times Entertainment.

Update:¬† I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but according to MTV.com, the Fame Kills concert is not going down, ya’ll. Both parties will not say why. News outlets are speculating that it is a mix of Yeezy’s outburst at the VMAs and Lady Gaga wanting to perform in more intimate venues.¬† Who knows.¬† I still think this would have been a spectacular tour.

I like to squeeze in a concert every now and then, but this lineup right here will make me break my live music abstinence. This may just be the greatest concert of all time ( is that joke played out already?)!

Everyone’s favorite rapper went in hard on Twitter yesterday and to be honest, I totally understand”

“DON’T HAVE A F****** TWITTER… WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER??? I ONLY BLOG 5 PERCENT OF WHAT I’M UP TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I’M ACTUALLY SLOW DELIVERING CONTENT BECAUSE I’M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I’M NOT AND I’M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN’T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF. THE PEOPLE AT TWITTER KNOW I DON’T HAVE A F****** TWITTER SO FOR THEM TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO POSE AS ME AND ACCUMULATE OVER A MILLION NAMES IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND DECEITFUL TO THERE FAITHFUL USERS. REPEAT… THE HEADS OF TWITTER KNEW I DIDN’T HAVE A TWITTER AND THEY HAVE TO KNOW WHICH ACCOUNTS HAVE HIGH ACTIVITY ON THEM. IT’S A F****** FARCE AND IT MAKES ME QUESTION WHAT OTHER SO CALLED CELEBRITY TWITTERS ARE ACTUALLY REAL OR FAKE. HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW …. WHY? … BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!!!!!!”
