Kanye West to White Music Critics: SHUT UP!

Kanye West has taken a break from Tweeting about his $ 53 million debt in order to send a message to white people everywhere.


And it goes something like this:



SHUT THE EFF UP ABOUT MY MUSIC! YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!


The artist finally released his latest album over the weekend, “The Life of Pablo,” with most music critics out there responding to it in a favorable manner.


Pitchfork, for example, gave the record a 9 out of 10, which was the best score it has handed out to an album in nearly six months.


But it wasn’t a perfect score. And that’s all Kanye cares about.


“Pitchfork, the album is a 30 out of 10,” Kanye hilariously wrote in response, before taking aim at this and many other outlets out there by Tweeting:


“To Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, New York Times, and any other white publication. Please do not comment on black music anymore.”


Before you claim that Kanye West hates white people, let’s remember that wife Kim Kardashian is white.


Moreover, the rapper added on Twitter:


“I love love love white people but you don’t understand what it means to be the great grandson of ex slaves and make it this far.”


We suppose this is technically, literally true.


West, of course, has gone around making some rather extreme remarks on Twitter in promotion of his new album.


Does he really need mental counseling as a result? Or does the world need to just sit back, chill and enjoy these #PeakKanye moments?


Duncan Jones: David Bowie"s Son Slams Lady Gaga After Grammys Tribute

Last night’s 2016 Grammy Awards featured a number of memorable, performances, but none of them attracted as much social media attention as Lady Gaga’s.



Gaga paid tribute to the late David Bowie with a medley of the rock icon’s best-known hits.


It was a natural fit, as Gaga and Bowie both managed to find tremendous mainstream success by blending pop music, fashion, and performance art to form genre- (and gender-) bending personas that were unlike anything that came before them.


Gaga even showed her respect for the Thin White Duke by getting a tattoo of Bowie’s face from the cover of his Aladdin Sane album the day before her performance.


Unfortunately for Gaga, not everyone agreed that she was the ideal choice to honor one of the most influential cultural figures of the past 40 years.


Bowie’s son, Duncan Jones, director of the acclaimed 2009 film Moon and the upcoming Warcraft tweeted about his distaste for Gaga’s performance shortly after her over-the-top mash-up gave way to a tie-in commercial for Intel.


“‘Overexcited or irrational, typically as a result of infatuation or excessive enthusiasm; mentally confused."” Damn it! What IS that word!?” Jones tweeted.


We’ll spare you the trip to Dictionary.com – the word is “gaga,” a term that Jones seems to feel is synonymous with vanity projects disguised as loving memorials.


Lauren Bushnell: Dumped By Ben Higgins For JoJo Fletcher?!

The Bachelor Season 20 is coming down the home stretch and Ben Higgins is down to his final four after Monday night’s double elimination.


While The Bachelor spoilers have hinted at a fairly cut and dried ending to the 2016 campaign from the start, is an epic twist in the works?



If you watch The Bachelor online, you know where we stand:


Amanda Stanton, Caila Quinn, Jojo Fletcher (above), and Lauren Bushnell (below) are the only four women out of 25 still in the hunt.


Sorry Becca Tilley. For the second straight year.


WARNING: It should go without saying, but The Bachelor spoilers await below, including who Ben Higgins picks (or allegedly picks).


So read on at your own risk. We good? Good …


According to Reality Steve, the show’s unofficial soothsayer – the Oracle of Bachelor Spoilers if you will – Amanda is the next one out.


Her hometown date didn’t get it done, apparently.


Then Ben sends Caila home from overnight dates in Jamaica, leaving Higgins to choose between JoJo Fletcher and Lauren Bushnell.


From the get-go, Lauren has been the favorite (some rumors even implied that Ben made up his mind before filming ended) this year.


Is there more to it, though? Read on …



However, recent speculation has centered around Ben’s unresolved feelings for JoJo Fletcher, and whether that might doom his engagement.


Sure, the “I’m in love with two women” trope is done to death every year to build suspense, but in this case, is there something to it?


Talk of Ben Higgins pulling a Jason Mesnick and dropping Lauren Bushnell after she wins the final rose has us intrigued, we can’t lie.


That gossip may be completely bogus, but other accounts suggest it went down to the wire for Ben, and that alone has rankled Lauren.


Lauren had no idea how close she was to almost not receiving a ring, believing Ben was just going through the motions all along in 2016.


In truth, was he a lot more conflicted than he let on?


Well, one insider says this has given way to real feelings of jealousy toward Ben and JoJo Fletcher, leaving the couple on the rocks.


Might Higgins end up with Fletcher in the end?


Until that happens or we hear The Bachelor spoilers from Steve himself, we aren’t going to go that far. But it does make you wonder


Selena Gomez and Austin Swift: Hooking Up at the Grammys?!

After years of keeping a relatively low profile, Taylor Swift’s brother, Austin Swift, has spent the last week making tabloid headlines.


First, he dissed Kanye West after the rapper took a shot at his sister in a song. Now, he may be pissing off the music world’s other most famous douche by hooking up with Justin Bieber’s ex, Selena Gomez.



According to Hollywood Life, Austin and Selena were spotted looking more than friendly with one another as they sat side-by-side in the crowd at last night’s 2016 Grammy Awards


It’s not the first time that Taylor has brought her brother along to a star-studded event, but these days, 23-year-old isn’t a kid anymore, and we suppose it was only a matter of time before rumors that he was hooking up with a member of Taylor’s squad began to make the rounds online.


While Twitter was all about the idea of Austin and Selena as a couple during the Grammys last night, it seems like the eager Swifties may have jumped the gun a bit.


After all, we’re not even sure if Austin and Selena are actually hooking up, much less dating.


But if they end up becoming an item, we may find out what happens when #SquadGoals and #FamilyGoals collide.
