I have to give it up for Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. This would have been a slow week, gossip-wise, without them. They’ve been getting pap’d multiple times, in multiple outfits, every day. They’ve been releasing cheesy music videos and they’ve been the subjects of crazy tabloid rumors. Bless them. Anyway, here are some more photos of Kim and Kanye – they went out together for Kanye’s concert, and Kanye was pap’d earlier in the day going solo. Is it crazy that I think Kim looks pretty good in these pics? I don’t like her lighter hair, but the ombre thing is kind of working on her. But here’s the question: is Kanye’s genius styling for his fiancée so amazing that Kim will finally get that Vogue cover? HA.
Kanye West is pushing hard for his baby-mama Kim Kardashian to be on the cover of Vogue.
He even lined up editor Anna Wintour and the mag’s creative director Grace Coddington to sit alongside Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner at his concert Tuesday night at the Barclays Center.
The fashion doyennes and the reality stars made an unlikely foursome, and the sight of Lindsay Lohan a few seats down made the celebrity row seem even more surreal.
Kim was wearing a black dress with a completely sheer top showing off her ample bosom and black bra — a look that may not have impressed Wintour, who kept her dark sunglasses firmly on. Never one to be modest, West has proclaimed Kardashian worthy of a Vogue cover, given she’s “more relevant to fashion” than Michelle Obama, who’s made the magazine’s cover twice.
Kim and the first lady incidentally ended up in the same room at Italian restaurant Carbone on Monday night — Kim at a table with public relations pal Simon Huck, and Michelle at a different table with several colleagues.
I still can’t believe that Kanye even tried to compare Kim and FLOTUS, much less that he claimed that Kim was MORE relevant than Michelle. Ugh. So, will Kim get a Vogue cover? I doubt it. I know Wintour likes Kanye and I think if she wants to give Kanye something, she’ll maybe do a photoshoot with Kanye and Kim together, but NOT for a cover. I could see that being her compromise.
Meanwhile, have you guys heard that Kanye compared himself to the free man-turned-slave Solomon Northup in 12 Years a Slave? Kanye did not compare himself to Chiwetel Ejiofor (which would have been bad enough), Kanye compared himself to Solomon. Which… if you’ve seen the movie, is a really f—king horrible comparison. Kanye made the comparison during a podcast chat with Bret Easton Ellis. Kanye said:
“For me, I felt like the main character. In what I’m dealing with even as a mega-popular-rich-celebrity-f**k-you-who-do-you-think-you-are-to-complain-about-anything situation that I’m in, or in the past when I’ve dealt with attempting to create in other fields or in clothing, I’ve kind of been in this campaign that started with, ironically, my song, “New Slaves” where I was sitting in Paris and dealing with all of these companies that I promoted and I saw my friends promoted, and the reason literally why they would sell on Barney’s floors, is because me and Jay Z, everyone wore it,” West rambled.
“And it will be something that I sort of discovered maybe four years before that… putting it on trend. And then you start just doing more research and say, hey, I want to be part of the creative conversation and be able to make money off of that also, and they stop you right there and say, you can’t be a part of that conversation, or they give you a one-off, like, Louis Vuitton I did one shoe and Nike I did two shoes where they spread ‘em apart over four years and they had like, the most impact possible.
“And I kind of saw that side of what it was as a creative to be free, as the parallel of the main character in 12 Years A Slave. And then when it was taken away from me it felt like what it felt like as a creative to be enslaved, to have all of these ideas for product, things you were talking about earlier.”
Just to be clear, Kanye West is drawing a “parallel” between himself and Solomon Northup because Solomon was a free man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery, he was whipped and abused and terrorized for 12 years as a slave and Kanye is just like that because some people in Paris disrespected his style vision. Yes. It IS just like Solomon’s journey, Yeezus. Next he’ll be telling us that Fashion Week is just like the Holocaust.

Of course he aspires to a Vogue cover. It’s a shallow person’s dream come true.
This. Yep yep yep.
I haven’t bought a Vogue in years, but I would actually buy one if Kimmy West gets a cover. I would also buy one if Posh Beckham gets one. Too bad Annie Wintour (or you, evidently) can’t see the genius of this. I remember when someone else got a cover that should have gone to Posh, I just read Posh’s article online instead of buying the mag.
True story. I canceled my Lucky subscription because it showed up with Kim on the cover. Thats not the sort of fashion I want to emulate.
Not to be rude, but I don’t understand why people think Victoria Beckham should get a Vogue cover (and I am an actual fan of hers!). She’s a designer, not a model or an actress, and she says herself that she’s no longer a singer. You don’t see Stella McCartney or Miuccia Prada or Isabel Marant scrambling to be on the cover of Vogue, do you?
I used to be a huge reader of Vogue, but don’t really enjoy it anymore. But I actually did buy it twice this year, because of the people on the cover – Gwen Stefani and Michelle Obama (hahaha Kanye, take that). I would probably look online for curiosities sake if Kim was on the cover, but would definitely refuse to buy the actual magazine.
Yeah, Posh should DEFINITELY do the cover before talentless Kim.
Why should Ms Ventour diminish her magazine and the worthwhile contributions of talented people who have graced the cover of her magazine because of the desires of a skank? If Kanye West wants to try and make silk out of sows ear that’s his problem. Kim Kadashian became famous by a sex tape, just had baby made a half naked selfie, recently a video riding a bike and making out half naked, that behavior is worth a cover on Vogue magazine?
If Diane Vreeland and Jessica Daves and all the previous Vogue editors could see what Anna Wintour has done to that magazine, they would be turning back flips in their graves. I canceled my subscription behind that “What Angelina Did Was Very Uncool” idiocy.
I don’t see the attraction. Vogue is about 65% advertisements. Why pay for that when you get bombarded with it absolutely everywhere else for free?
I don’t buy anything Kardashian and never will, magazines included.
Is it just me or with the hair and what not, kim is trying to look like Beyonce used to look? She so wants for her and yeezus to be the next hov and bey…and they are so budget hov and bey that they will never be anything more than just sadly trying, and trying hard. If she even ends up on a turned up corner of vogue, it will be the death of the magazine!
I’m waiting for her inevitable solo album …
That Solomon Northup comparison was so ridiculously offensive. Is he just trolling us at this point or has Kanye gone off the rails?
Honestly, who knows? Sometimes it seems like the two of them just have this crazy master plan to get as much attention as they can get, any way they can.
Also, if you have to beg for a Vogue cover, that right there makes you not worthy of one.
These two really are perfect for each other. They both think they are God’s gift to the world. They are entertaining though !
I have no doubt that it is offensive, but I just cant get past the second sentence!
It is written in English right?
I do believe it is suppose to be English but I gave up after a couple of sentences too.
They appear to be English words. But the order in which they are arranged makes no sense whatsoever.
I love your name, I want to live in NYC too! Lol.
And I have no idea anymore. Is he crazy or is he trolling us? If he’s trolling us, he’s just making a fool of himself by creating such terrible publicity/media attention for himself.
I’m more offended by the fact that he’s wearing a woman’s coat in these pics.
I think it’s both. He knows that crap keeps him in the public eye and sells tickets.
And the Vogue cover thing explains why Kim does nothing but pout these days.
Is he on medication? WTF is he talking about? I get a headache trying to read his interviews. He boggles the mind… I can’t imagine what it’s like to be around him spouting all this crap? I need a tylenol.
Clearly whatever Pimp Mama Kris is grinding up into his food to keep him docile and pliable is having some unexpected side-effects when it comes to his mental health…
haha! I love the eternal 5 yr old brat pout too
You’re right. He looks like a 5 year old who was just sent to time out!
LOL love that Tapioca, made me laugh.
Her post baby nose job/ tweaking makes her look like she is moping. There is definitely more space between her nose and lower lip.
I totally agree! It looks very odd and is quite off putting.
Anna should stick to her guns, if she is going to give someone she dislikes a cover – Victoria Beckham is at least in high fashion.
it’s like they’re the same person: both dumb and narcissistic
+1
I honestly think he’s mentally ill.
Wholeheartedly agree with ya.
Yes, Kanye – Fendi turning down your leather jogging pants is EXACTLY like being a slave. Shut up and go home.
It’s beyond delusional.
Every woman in America would love to be the First Lady. Or at least have the First Lady’s sophisticated, elegant wardrobe.
Maybe 2 girls at a mall in Atlanta would like to be Kim Kardashian. Just Kanye and his boyfriend would like Kim’s disastrous wardrobe.
I don’t wish to be either of them. And from what little I’ve seen of FLOTUS’ wardrobe, I wouldn’t like it, either. But my preference is to cover my arms, so perhaps that’s why.
If this ever happens, poor Victoria Beckham’s head will explode in to a million pieces.
He’s exhausting.
I saw a comment on another board that said, “You know, when you pull something out of your ass like that you might want to wash it off before you start waving it around in front of people’s faces.” Yeah, ‘Ye, use the soap, man, use.the.soap.
Maybe we need to get JayZ to tell Kanye to STFU! Someone needs to put him in his place and Jay may be the only one he’ll listen to.
Great suggestion. Someone really needs to shut him up already. Does he realize how much of a fool he is making of himself? Probably not, because he’s so delusional. I wonder if this would all be happening if his mother was still alive. It seemed to me that when she was, she basically kept him in check.
I agree. I think his mom kept him far more grounded him more than Kim and the rest of the Kardashians ever could. Their sense of what’s real and/or
important is totally warped. I think if his mom were watching all this
now, she would really pull rank with him.
I agree that his mom keep him in-check while KImK and family feed into his already inflated ego.
I don’t know if JayZ is the right person to put him in check, JayZ is also arrogant and I think that’s why they are such good friends. Jay always telling Kanye how great he is and Kanye always tell Jay how fantastic he is, same thing with B and Goop.
Anna Wintour will never do that. She will lost all her credibility ..
Yeah well we all thought we’d never see a pic or video of Beyonce and Kim hanging out, but it happened. Ruthless people have no boundaries. Kim will do anything…anything…even have a child and marry a man just because he is friends with Anna lol j/k…but hmmmm.
Ya .. maybe .. look like that 🙁
There was ONE pic of them hanging out, and anyway, comparing the two is apples and oranges. One photo of Kartrashian cozying up to Beyonce does not a friendship or even an acquaintance make. I think it’s just more they happened to be in the same place at the same time.
Wintour has made her attitude on Kartrashian quite clear by having her cropped out of all the Vogue photos of Kanye at this year’s Met Ball. That was probably the greatest burn of 2013.
If she puts Kim on before Victoria Beckham (who does actually have fashion sense), I’ll chip in for her psych evaluation.
I don’t understand why she (Anna) even likes Kanye.
He probably used to be highly entertaining, and his “BFF” [ahem] is Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy. That was sufficient cred for Wintour’s purposes.
All bets are off now, though.
Is this dude high on drugs or just himself?
Kanye Koolaid.
Kim and Kanye are both delusional. I highly doubt that Barbara Walters is constantly calling Kim. Give me a friggen break. I have come to the conclusion, that their marriage is a marriage of convenience. They are both famewh*res, and will do/try anything to keep their names in the spotlight. It’s not real love, it’s love of being constantly talked about. If Ann Wintour caves, to me, that means everyone can be bought!!!
The real question is Why on earth Anna Wintour likes Kanye West?
this was exactly my question after reading. maybe she finds him entertaining in his stupidity and she don’t want to lose private performances of his weirdo rants? hearing Kanye is like smoking pot without actually smoking
I would love to know the answer to that.
Very true!
I think she used to like him to be “down” and “cool” and now she is not so sure what to do with him. I would be mightily impressed if she dropped him. Now that would be a high fashion bitch move that I would admire. Meryl Streep would have told Kanye he’s a fool a longtime ago. She is more Wintour than Wintour. Hear me, Anna?
Isn’t there already a story on her today? Can’t we just put them all together and be done with it? Why does Kanye West have so much power over Anna Wintour is the real question here. People are sick of him and have been sick of her for a long time.
So offensive! And why does he always look like he’s frowning? Not just not smiling, but frowning. Ugh.
He is unattractive whether he’s smiling OR frowning.
Yes! He really is an ugly, ugly man inside and out. And he comes across as very dumb and uneducated.
Hmm.
I’m…I boggle. At all of this.
Think and say what you will about Kanye, but prior to Kim he had…a brand of sorts, whether or not he wanted to admit it. He had cultural cache. Yes, he still did crazy things, but at the time – because of the cultural cache – it was just “Kanye being Kanye.” People put up with the bad to get to the good.
Now, because of the bizarre Exhibitionist Colossus these two have become, he’s lost all his cache. His brand, which used to be “Kanye’s kind of crazy but sometimes creates some really good inventive stuff” has become “Kanye’s kind of crazy and….deluded.” There’s not that much good any more and people are less willing to put up with it if there is.
He strikes me as the type of person who believes he can make anything awesome/artistic/amazing – be it the Confederate flag, Kim herself, furniture, food – and he used to be able to get people to believe that. Now, they don’t. It all seems like one big joke, and I don’t think he *gets* that it’s one big joke. Which is sort of sad. And, again, deluded.
…Anna Wintour, however, I think understands that it is one big joke. I hope so, anyway.
One teensy nitpick. Should be Exhibitionist Kolossus.
Yes, it absolutely should be!
Awesome analysis.
They are throwing some serious side eye. Kayne is losing his mind over Kim K I gave him a pass at first. You know he just had a baby and seemed to be in love and I use that term loosely. But the cheesy videos and his rants are to much.
I seriously think Kanye is just f%^ing with us. Same goes for that Toronto mayor.
Wow. He just rambles on and on. You can’t even begin to understand what he’s trying to say. It’s just so much crap all rolled into one. Like the incoherent ramblings of a drug addict.
As far as the Vogue cover. Ms. Wintour would never allow that. She’s smart enough to know it would cheapen her magazine and she would lose all credibility as an editor. Not gonna happen. Besides, Kim’s “career” , whatever that is, is losing steam day by day. She’s no longer relevant.
This is just disgusting. What a pathetic person he is.
I can truly say, without any hesitation or remorse, that this is honestly the one celebrity I truly hate. I’ve never seen one article or interview from him to prove that he way in any way a decent human being or intelligent. Everything he says is either dumb or offensive or BOTH.
This 100%. He is just so completely unlikeable. His music is really not that good at all and he seems like a real douche. They are both disgusting and pathetic. I am a regular Vogue reader but will never buy another issue if a Kartrashian ends up on the cover. Same goes for this douche nozzle.
They are both better suited to some much more low rent.
I think Wintour will crack and Kim will get a cover. I also think is well be one of the best selling issues ever. I’m not being sarcastic, and I hate myself for thinking this.
she will get that cover.
hahahahahahaha
It would be a huge mistake for Vogue, she won’t do it.
100% agree.
also, I don’t think Kim has had more work done – she is just wearing her make up differently & I think some of the fillers are wearing off. I could be wrong…
I am coming to the conclusion from his interviews that he believes that when something goes wrong it is always someone else fault, always the victim. He will never get anywhere or grow with that attitude. Perhaps that is why his music is stagnant?
For all of this annoying mouth flapping from him over how wonderful Kim is the only thing I can think of to get us through it is to imagine ahead to the inevitable breakup–that ‘Ye mouth will be flapping then, too, and boy is that going to be amusing.
yeah, if they split up it will be off the chain. kanye has that verbal turretts syndrome as it is. no one will be able to stop him if things were to go south. if his career tanks, which it could, he will probably blame it on the K klan.
I don’t see Kanye as raving about Kim or is even in love with her. IDK, it seems that she is some kind of possession to him just like all the other ridiculous things he spends his money on. Also, notice she never raves about or refers to him at all. I guess that’s her mother’s job.
Are those the only shoes Kayne wears? I swear every pic I have seen lately he is wearing the same shoes
This is all exhaustively boring. ME*ME*ME*ME*ME
Hey Kanye, do something for real slaves in the world, or people who don’t have enough to eat and who wear tattered rags on their backs, not because it’s “cool”, but rather threadbare from use and they can’t afford new clothing.
We know you think highly of yourself, no need to prove it further. Point taken. You’re genius, put upon, things are really hard for you, no one suffers like you do, you are Jesus incarnate. Stop beating us over the head with the wood from your cross, dude. You’re like a broken CD, repeating the line over and over.
I makes me really sad that he is so focused on luxury and excess and, maybe I’m wrong, but I’ve not ever seen him make any comment about helping the underprivileged. He whines and pisses and moans, claiming he’s being put down and shoved aside but that hasn’t made him think past his wildest desires of people who really are subordinated. What these two spend on one pair of jeans could help a needy family from losing their home or feeding themselves.
And don’t get me started on the overpriced hideous jeans with the holes and silly chains.
Very very good point!
her most recent nose job went too far. it really looks like she is morphing into her mom. such a physically beautiful girl but she has damaged her body. if she hadnt done all the surgery and breast/booty implants she would stand a greater chance of being a force in the world of fashion. its too bad, too, because we rarely see girls who look like her in her original state.
She was a beautiful girl before. I can’t get over how much she has messed up her face.
+1 I can’t remember what she used to look like but she’s ruining her face one step at a time. She’s gonna regret it.
In addition to her nose job, I also think Kim has had her cheek implants removed. Her face is looking longer and less catlike. Perhaps the situation is that she wants to look like her 18-year-old sister, who may actually get high fashion gigs, and not like a cat face anymore. Do you think?
her nose has almost disappeared, she will look like bruce if she keeps this up and people will wonder how she breathes through it
No he didn’t. Sit yo’ delusional a$$ down, Kanye! Just stop talking. Just stop. It’s one thing for people to think you’re stupid. It’s another thing to give them AMPLE evidence to that fact.
Anna Wintour will be in her grave before Vogue puts Kim Kardashian on the cover. And even then, the editors would probably worry she’d haunt them, so no cover for Kim. Ever.
The picture of happiness.
I’d never buy it, ever.
It hurts to try and read through his ramblings.
I doubt Anna Wintour would be stupid enough to put Kimmie on the cover of Vogue. She has to know it would kill the value of that exalted brand forever.
Let’s hope.
Kanye compares himself to a slave and Jesus. I think a more apt comparison would be Goofy or one of the Dumb and Dumber guys.
What did Goofy or the Dumb and Dumber guys ever do to you? 🙂
This is why he is with Kim. Now I know. Because no woman with a brain is going to sit there and let him ramble off the nonsensical crap he just said and not challenge it. Way to go Kim.
Vain much? He is his own biggest cheerleader. Such a loser even if he is “mega-popular-rich-celebrity-f**k-you-who-do-you-think-you-are-to-complain-about-anything.”
If Anna really wanted to take a stab at Kimye, she would put Kendall (the younger model sister?) on the cover.
Could you imagine how jealous Kim would be ? She’d pretend to be happy for Kendall, but on the inside she’d be enraged. I think even now, Kim gets jealous of her younger sisters getting all the attention. I think she’s in some sort of weird competition with them, but she is losing badly.
I’m a mean person. I am now do it! Do it Anna! Put Kendall on the cover of Vogue so Kim will melt Wicked Witch of the West style.
Btw, I think Kendall should be in school or something and not be showing her boobies at 12:01am of her 18th bday.
You know what would be even better would be to put Khloe on the cover. The jealous raging of Kimmy, Kanye and PMK would be EPIC. But Kendall is a more likely choice and you are right that would be good too. Or put Paris Hilton or Kim’s friend Britney Gastineau. LOL
How does he get by saying these things and if someone else were to say anything close to the things he says they are done. He is a loser.
Bwa-ha-HAAA!
A sock monkey deserves a Vogue cover more than any Kardashian does.
(and has more credibility!)
Do they know a Vogue cover doesn’t come with a paycheck? This tawdry family only does things for money so they may want to focus their creepy efforts elsewhere.
To me, with her new nose she looks like a character from The Grinch movie starring Jim Carrey. The space between her mouth and nose keeps getting bigger and bigger while her nose keeps shrinking.
Ahh and they match.
I like her hair better like this but that´s about it. At least she is not showing her boobs here. Thanks Kim
Hey, Kanye, THIS is slavery.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/21/women-held-as-slave-freed_n_4316565.html
I think Kim looks really good in this laid-back outfit.
If she does get a Vogue cover, hopefully Vogue will style her for it and not Kanye. She might actually be dressed appropriately for once.
Which is why she doesn’t deserve the cover in the first place. When do either one of them look fashionable or well dressed? Their taste and style are horrible. And if Kanye is styling Kim he needs to stop. now.
My first thought is why would Anna Wintour want to go to a Kanye concert in the first place???
I’ve been to a concert of his and he’s actually a great performer :).
Some people just see his antics and assume that he is a bad performer or artist.
WOW, Kanye probs bro. Let’s all drop what we’re doing, you know, surviving week to week e.t.c to feel sorry for this guy who thought of leather jogging pants BEFORE THEY EVEN CAME OUT!!
Narcissism much?
i really and truly loathe this arrogant d!ck and his arrogant and talent less fiance.
If she gets the cover i will never buy US Vogue again.
And i cant even with that 12 years a slave comparison. there are no words that would adequately and articulately describe my thoughts on his stupid comments
Someone help me…I love that coat she’s wearing!!
