Kanye West Doesn't Want To Let His Fans Down
Last week, a report surfaced claiming Kanye threw a fit when he boarded a plane after the Grammy’s and found out he was seated in Business Class. He started screaming at the flight attendants, demanding he be seated in First Class, instead.
The rapper felt the need to explain himself, and took it to his blog to dismiss the rumor. He claims he was actually HAPPY with his Business Class seat.
Kanye writes:
I feel bad that people believe this kind of stuff or any random rumor that is taken as fact because ’it’s on the internet.’ This rumor is particularly ironic because I was actually happy with a business class seat and was offered a seat in first class. A friend of mine was sitting in coach so asked if they could bump him up to business instead of putting me in first. There was absolutely no altercation in any way. There’s been many a time where I’ve given someone in coach my business or first class seat in order to sit next to a friend I bumped into. I really could care less about where I sit on the plane. It’s hard to deal with the rumors sometimes. As a good person with a warm heart, it does bother me. I’m not bigger than feeling pain, embarrassment, stress and worry. Have you ever been lied on? How does it make you feel? You wanna tell everybody it’s not true right? Thank you to all my fans who still love and support me even though it’s not the trend right now! I’m sleeping in the studio and I won’t let you guys down!
Internet vs. Kanye West. Who do you believe?
Kanye West Ready To Rebuild His Reputation
He’s been laying low ever since his little outburst at 2009’s MTV Video Music Awards, but now Kanye West is headed to the studio to work on his comeback.
In a new post on his website, the rapper writes:
First of all, I want to thank everybody for their constant love and support over these past 6 years! I’m so happy to be back in the studio making new music. I will bring you the best I have to offer with the same dedication that Kobe (Bryant) has on the court.
West adds:
Let us look past headlines and deal with just a bit of reality in this new decade. We have our own outlets now. We don’t have to believe everything anymore.
This will be his first album since 2008’s 808s & Heartbreaks.
Kanye West to Marry His Model Girlfriend

Taylor Lautner On SNL
Taylor Lautner hosted Saturday Night Live last night where he obviously poked fun at his rumored romance with Taylor Swift. Oh yea…AND showed off some of his stellar Twilight moves. That boy is talented :)
Take a look at his opening monologue, below!
Taylor Swift Is Psyched For SNL Stint
Though nobody’s positive if Kanye West will “interrupt” her in a skit on Saturday Night Live, Taylor Swifts appearance on the late night show will be nothing less than hilarious.
The singer began rehearsing for the November 7th gig, and she is tweeting with excitement:
Starting the SNL process. I kinda feel like I might have a heart attack or pass out in the pitch meeting. I’m that excited..
The 19-year-old hints that some acts will mimic her real life events:
I’ve been thinking about skit ideas for a long time. There are definitely some hilarious things that have happened to me over the past couple of months that I think will be pretty substantial skits.
Swift also hopes to work on a digital short with Andy Samberg.
Miley Cyrus Voted Worst Celebrity Influence
OUCH!
The Party in the USA singer took nearly half the votes in a poll tallying who the Worst Celebrity Influence is.
Come on, people. Why are ya being so tough on the teen queen? What’s your real reasoning?
Could be due to…
1. Racy photos published in Vanity Fair magazine
2. Dancing with a stripper pole during this year’s Teen Choice Awards
3. Grabbing her crotch during a concert in Chicago this week
That’ll do it. Rounding out the list is Britney Spears, Kanye West, Vanessa Hudgens and Shia LeBeouf.

Kanye West And Lady Gaga Tour Cancelled
Kanye West and Lady Gaga’s “Fame Kills” tour has been canceled. It was set to begin on November 10th.
Live Nation, who made the official announcement, did not give a reason.
There is speculation this is due to Kanye wanting to take some time off, as he recently told Jay Leno after the VMA incident:
So many celebrities, they never take the time off. I’ve never taken the time off to really — you know, just music after music and tour after tour. I’m just ashamed that my hurt caused someone else’s hurt… But I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I’m going to make it through the rest of this life, how I’m going to improve.
Ticket holders will get refunded for their purchase.

Lady Gaga Defends Kanye
People are still talking about this?
Maybe it’s because she’s on tour with him, but Lady Gaga revealed what she was thinking during the Taylor Swift/Kanye incident at the MTV VMA’s this year and how she feels for the rapper.
Gaga told a Las Vegas radio station:
I was thinking, ‘Oh gosh,’. But, like, I would say he’s a good guy and everybody makes mistakes, and he feels so f—-ing bad. He really does. I think that everyone can get so caught up in gossip and stuff.
Everyone expects Kanye to act all sorts of crazy now, so I don’t think it’s going to be detrimental to his career at this point. Do you?
