It just occurred to me as I read this Radar story: Kanye West is like the rapper version of James Franco. Both Kanye and Franco take themselves too seriously, both multitask to obscene levels, and both men are total stunt queens. Franco and Kanye can never simply BE. They have to elevate their existence to the level of high art, performance art, or general famewhore theatrics. Both men are truly talented as well – I wish Kanye could just be a musician, a rapper and a producer. I wish Franco could just be an actor. But both have decided that they’re geniuses who can jump across mediums and be equally brilliant at everything.
So, with that in mind, Kanye’s latest stunt queen move is this: he’s going to be on the new season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. For real, Kanye? I know everyone is like “FAUXMANCE!” and “They’re just doing this for ratings and album sales.” But really – does Kanye NEED to go on KUWTK? No. He doesn’t. His career doesn’t need at all, and this television-accessibility might end up doing more harm than good. So… I’ve come to the conclusion that Kanye is actually obsessed with Kim in some kind of weird, deranged way. He’s hypnotized by the Kat-face, y’all.
Kanye West will appear on the upcoming season of his girlfriend Kim Kardashian’s reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Kim was snapped slinking out of Kanye West’s NYC apartment last Thursday morning wearing the same outfit she was wearing on her date with the hip hop star on Wednesday. Kanye has also released a song professing his love for the reality TV vixen.
The Grammy award winning hip hop star has already appeared on the Kardashian reality television franchise for E!, and has told Kim he would love to appear on the show again!
“Kanye is head over heels in love with Kim, and he has told her he would love to appear on the reality show if she wants him to. Kim is a bit leery of having her man appear on camera because of the whole fiasco with her soon-to-be-ex-husband, Kris Humphries, but watch for Kanye to make several appearances on the show towards the end of the season. Viewers won’t see him featured in the first part of the season, and it won’t be all about Kanye,” a show insider tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.
While Kanye says in his new song Theraflu that he “fell in love with Kim,” while she began dating Humphries, we reported back in January about their on-going hook up.
“They were both cheating,” Kanye’s ex Amber Rose exclusively told Star magazine. She said the pair hooked up while they were both in relationships with A-listers — Kim with NFL star Reggie Bush and Kanye with Amber!
“Kim feels extremely comfortable with Kanye because she feels that for the first time she is with a partner that understands what she does for a living and doesn’t scrutinize her for being in a reality show….She also doesn’t feel like Kanye is using her, like she did with Kris,” the source says.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ new season premieres Sunday, May 20 on E!.
Wait, are the Kardashians currently filming the new season, or has it already “wrapped”? Like, what’s the post-production on KUWTK? I know I shouldn’t care, but it makes sense, I suppose, if Kim is currently filming new episodes right now. At least it feels slightly authentic, unlike the last season which Kim had to “reshoot” after she split from Kris so that she could add a bunch of stuff to villainize him. I wonder if Kanye does reshoots? Ugh. Dear God, I never thought I would see Kanye make appearances on a basic cable reality show.

Not that Kat-face would ever honor her word but didn’t she say on her pointless ‘Today Show’ interview that she would keep her “romantic life” off-camera? So, either Kimye isn’t happening and they’re really just friends or Kat-face is saying one thing and doing another… say it ain’t so!

Unlike Kris Humphries, Kanye West is an international celebrity and doesnt need the Kardashian for fame. Kris Humphries was an unknown NBA player until he started dating Kim. How many blogs/tabloids talked about Kris Humphries prior to him dating Kim? The answer is none.

Kanye is in serious need of good press though. This might do it for him (in the Kardash market anyway).
One thing though, that might be pretty good to watch: think of the multiple meltdowns when Kim starts getting broody on him, or tells him she doesn’t like his tennis shoes and wants him to start wearing boots, etc. Could be pretty entertaining, I have to admit on second thought.

The K people strike again! Now I’m going to have to watch the show because Kanye is in it, and that is the whole purpose isn’t it? Other than Kanye being obsessed with Kim and doing whatever she wants him to because he is so enamoured, I cannot think of any other reason why he would be appearing on a reality show. I will watch just to lmao.

Such a great musician beneath all of the hype. I think his mom’s death led him down a dark path. He went from mildly annoying to kinda gross in a few short years.

Yea, I always got that feeling too, his mother was the one who kept him somewhat humble and down to earth, but once she passed away he lost control.

I completely agree and it’s sad about his mother. It’s just that, if he respected her so much he should honor her and stay grounded, like she would have wanted.

Kanye just needs to go away. I always felt that he has not accepted his Mother’s death. Or has not found any peace with it. While never modest his press over the last few years has been a disaster. He just needs to sit down and evaluate some things.

Can we get Amber Rose on the line… I recall a few months ago when Amber Rose had a story in a tabloid saying the reason she and Kanye broke up was because of his cheating with Kim… and those Kardashians denied and denied… he is just a friend of the family.. he comes to our xmas parties…
I have a hunch that this isnt going to end well…

Lol, if there is a “real romance”, so much for keeping any future relationships private. That lasted all of 2 seconds. Fake or real who didn’t see (insert name of relaceable guy) coming? The K’s seem to relationships as props in their bizzaro world…

I never realized it but you are so on with you assessment of the two men. They are exactly the same! I wonder if they are friends. They should be so they can talk about art they are and how everything is art.

I’m pretty sure that they are connected to the same people that think Kim needs this in order for their show’s ratings not to tank along with her image. I still call fake PR stunt. Kris Jenner is a very well-connected woman and can get a lot to save her precious money train, that includes Kanye West.

Report this comment as spam or abuse
Sad that I’m going to defend here, but you DO realize that he had his jaw broken in a major car accident, right? If you look at before and after pics, you can see that his face used to be symmetrical and now the right side of his jaw doesn’t match the left. The song he recorded with my jaw wired shut was what initially put him on the map. Doesn’t change the fact that he is a douche, but with everything else you can point a finger at, why pick something that ironically made him famous?

He was already on “Kourtney and Kim take New York”. I remember he was hitting on Kim in the episode…he stated “I’ve changed my ways” and Kim gave him a big eye roll.
I thought Kim said she wanted to keep her relationships away from her reality show? Actually, without a rich and famous man in her life, the producers don’t really have a story line for kim’s character lol.
Kanye must be trying to kill his career and credibility.

Wait until they breaK up, Kanye will put out a song about her…with juicy details i’m sure.

I don’t believe he’s doing it for publicity.
First of all, he doesn’t need it. He’s not on the best moment of his career, but he’s not desperate enough to lose cred as an artist and international superstar by mixing up with people like Kim (even appearing on her trashy show!!!) if there wasn’t some feeling involved.
I’m not saying he’s deeply in love with her or that they’ll will get married and have 40 kids. But I think he must be really smitten by her in some way.
As someone who appreciates his talent, I hope this relationship ends soon. I don’t see how this will bring him any good. Don’t wanna see him making his way on the D-list, like Lindsay Lohan did.

Again I need to preface this by saying I’m not into rap and am more or less rap clueless but I thought rappers were like African American rockstars. This is whatever the rap terms for sell out and uncool are.
Did I miss something – did Kanye become a has-been like Vince Neil? Or is this as blasphemous and sell out as I think it is? No it’s worse… the Kartrashians are much worse than falling off ones ass on Ice Skating with the Stars.
