Kanye + Kim: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Handbag

Kanye West and his ever-evolving children’s art project, Kim Kardashian, have welcomed a new member to their family — and it’s way bigger than their baby! It’s a custom-painted Hermès handbag featuring a surrealist nude portrait by George Condo (the same artist who did the covers for West’s 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy).

This thing is so hideous it’s hilarious. You have to see it. You don’t. You shouldn’t. It’s your call.

WARNING: CRAZY SH*T BELOW

AGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

And she WORE IT in public as the paparazzi caught both of them shopping/taking out some trash!

The dumbest part of this whole mess is that no one forced me to post this. I’m “on call” for the weekend and figured I might have to post it eventually. And if I didn’t, inevitably someone — what, like maybe three people? who am I kidding — would’ve wondered why I’d been so neglectful. Neglectful. Of Kim Kardashian’s Instagram feed. I may never recover from this. 2014's serious soul-searching begins… whatever day January 1st is. Hell if I know!

It’s a Friday night, and I’m technically alive. But am I really living?

Kanye West sued over 'Bound 2'

Ricky Spicer sang with two sets of twins in the group Ponderosa Twins Plus One.Ricky Spicer sang with two sets of twins in the group Ponderosa Twins Plus One.Ricky Spicer says his voice from 1970 song 'Bound' is heard on West's 'Bound 2'The credits for the new song say the snippet was licensed from two music companiesSpicer seeks unspecified damages

(CNN) -- The lead singer of a 1970 tune that is sampled on a new Kanye West song has filed suit, alleging the rapper used the snippet without his permission.

Ricky Spicer was 12 when he became the lead singer for a group called the Ponderosa Twins Plus One in 1969. A year later, they recorded "Bound," according to the suit.

Spicer, now 56, says his voice is heard in West's song "Bound 2" at least four times.

"Mr. Spicer's voice is sampled exactly as he recorded it and his voice, altered by the Defendants, is also heard several times," the 13-page complaint alleges.

In the credits for the album "Yeezus," Def Jam Records says the song was licensed through Rhino Entertainment and Robinson Music Group.

The lawsuit names West, Def Jam, Rhino, Roc-A-Fella Records, and Universal Music Group as defendants. It seeks unspecified damages for common law copyright infringement.

The Ponderosa Twins were two sets of twins and Spicer. According to the lawsuit, Alvin and Alfred Pelham are dead and Keith and Kirk Gardner are imprisoned. Spicer has power of attorney for the Gardner twins, the suit says.

The suit, which was filed in New York, says Spicer has a copyright on "Bound." It asks for exemplary damages and further compensation the court thinks is appropriate.

Kanye West on 'Kris' (with a photo of Baby North)

Kanye West is shy! Kanye West is romantic! Baby North actually exists! Paparazzi suck! These are all just of few of the valuable lessons from today season finale of Kris, when West sat down with his girlfriend Kim Kardashian’s mother Kris Jenner.

With very little fanfare, Jenner launched into a series of “hard-hitting” questions/demands: Come on Kanye, tell the world you’re shy! Also, when did you fall in love with my daughter? Where did you first meet? Why are you ready to reveal yourself now?! See how he answered — plus the first pic of North West(!) — after the jump.

Luckily (or perhaps purposefully), Yeezy was more than ready to admit his shyness, and then blow right past it to talk about the first time he saw Kim, back when she was Brandy’s assistant (an image I can’t get out of my head). Despite the fact that he didn’t know how to pronounce her last name — think Parmesan — he claims he loved her from the moment he laid eyes on her. But it’s been a long road to relationship city. Kanye even admits that, at one point, he considered playing sports to get her attention, but he instead decided to go the funny route by “Photoshopping” (a.k.a. drawing a stick figure) his way into one of many now famous Kardashian Christmas family photos. You guys, even though he doesn’t want Kris saying it, this guy is soft (like his cheeks!).

So why is it that ‘Ye and Kim are perfect for each other? According to him, they’re at the same level of fame — “equally yoked.” if you will. Sure, Kim’s more in the spotlight, and he’s more “polarizing,” which is apparently one level past regular ‘ol fame, but the biggest sign of how much he loves his “girl” is that he’s willing to give up his privacy for her. “I don’t care. I love this woman,” he told Jenner.

The proof is in the (very expensive) pudding: For Kim’s birthday, he flew her to Italy and had her meet with designer Giuseppe Zanotti to create her very own dream shoes. And we all know that romantic grand gestures involving Italy and shoes lead to one thing: babies! Now Kanye is experiencing the many joys of fatherhood, claiming that his main goal in life is now to protect his daughter, North. And yes, this “musical genius” practices putting in a car seat at 3 a.m. so that paparazzi don’t embarrass him when he tries to do it in public. (Future Kings and genius rappers — they’re just like us!) Speaking of the paparazzi, ‘Ye describes the “emotional bully” as someone who’s trying to make money off of you, hence him not smiling in any pap photos, so stop bugging him about it, okay?! Let the man get some yogurt in peace!

Other important lessons: ‘Ye comes from two very creative parents. His idols include Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, his father (who’s a professional photographer and very handsome, noted Jenner), and his grandfather. Also, did you know that Kanye originally studied art at the American Academy of Art before landing a record deal at age 19? But the really big news of the hour was the rapper’s open admission that he has improvements to make as a human being and that Kim helps him stirve to be a better person. For one, she’s helping him improve his small talk.

Chit-chat aside, this man doesn’t want his legacy to read “musical genius,” but rather, he’d like to be remembered as “someone who helped, someone who brought joy.” Yes, he had his “crazy rock star” days, but those are behind him. Re: Mic-jacking at the 2009 VMAs — “The last thing I would want to happen to my daughter is some crazy drunk black guy in a leather shirt to come up and cut her off at an awards show.” It’s official: I have never loved him more than in this moment. Of course, it isn’t long until he makes a sarcastic, jerk-esque comment about Obama mentioning him so often, but I’m willing to overlook it considering that ‘Ye is fully aware of his a–hole side. That, and the fact that he uttered the words, “I don’t want to start jumping up and down on the couch,” when talking about Kim.

But let’s stop focusing on the new father when we all know why you really tuned in to Kris: I’m talking about baby North, of course. Check her out!

north-west.jpg Image Credit: Twitter

According to Kris, she has Kim’s eyes, Kanye’s cheeks and, depending on the day, both of their lips. (Hey, any baby with magical changing lips is alright in my book!) But really though, North is adorable. And don’t worry, Papa Yeezy will support her in whatever career path she chooses in life.

What do you think PopWatchers? Are you a fan of Kanye now? Is North cuter than her cousins? Will this new “soft”-er, gentler side of Kanye take? Sound off in the comments.

Kanye stops by Jenner's talk show

Kris Jenner and Kanye West are close enough that the usually media shy rapper sat for an interview.Kris Jenner and Kanye West are close enough that the usually media shy rapper sat for an interview.Kanye West talked to his daughter's grandmother for her talk showHe opened up about his new child, falling in love and coping with the press"Kris" appears on select stations around the country

(EW.com) -- Kris Jenner worked her magic — and familial connections, of course — to land an interview with the typically media-shy Kanye West, the father of her granddaughter North. Kanye stopped by the set of Kris on Monday to tape an hour-long interview that will air this week.

West, who welcomed his first child with girlfriend Kim Kardashian in June, opens up to Jenner about his baby girl, falling in love with Kim, and dealing with the press.

He also addresses President Obama's comments last month about how celebrities like Kanye and Kim have shifted the idea of the American dream. "There was not that window into the lifestyles of the rich and famous," the president said at the time. "Kids weren't monitoring every day what Kim Kardashian was wearing, or where Kanye West was going on vacation, and thinking that somehow that was the mark of success."

"Kris" airs on select Fox stations, including in New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas. Stay tuned for more info on when Kanye's interview will air.

Kanye West shows off baby North

Kanye West appeared on Kris Jenner's talk show FridayHe discussed his relationship with Kim Kardashian and being a dadHe also showed off the first picture of daughter NorthKris Jenner told her audience that she thinks Kanye's misunderstood

(CNN) -- Kanye West has been called many things, but these days the best description -- according to him -- is family man.

The 36-year-old rapper appeared on Kris Jenner's daytime talk show "Kris" on Friday to discuss his relationship with Jenner's daughter, Kim Kardashian, and their new addition, North.

But if Kanye was smart, he'd hire Jenner as part of his PR team. The reality TV momager, who has extended her family's brand from E! to Fox with this test run of her talk show, reiterated several times that the stone-faced and difficult Kanye portrayed in the media is not the man she's come to know. (Kanye, after all, is now living in her home.)

"I'm so excited that I've gotten to know you like I have," Jenner said. "There are a lot of things that people don't know about you that are so interesting to me that I want other people to hear."

Kanye spoke about the effect of the birth on his outlook.

"To me it's such a blessing, and I feel like it's going to give me the stability that I need to really create and really do God's work in the way I should," Kanye, wearing a "what would Jesus do" bracelet, told Jenner.

"Someone to be accountable, someone to be responsible for. After I lost my mother there were times I felt like I would put my life at risk, I felt like sometimes I didn't have something to live for. Now I have two really special people to live for, a whole family to live for. I want people, when they remember me and my family, their thought association to be someone who helped, someone who brought joy."

He did bring plenty of joy to Jenner's show, as she beamed while displaying North's photo for the audience. North, who was born June 15, has her mother's eyes and father's cheeks, according to Jenner.

"The thing I think about as a dad is just protection. That's my only goal, to Kanye said his goal is "to protect my daughter. That's my instinct."

"To give my daughter as many opportunities to just be a child. Of course, a big thing that plagues us is this idea of the paparazzi chasing a 5-year-old around and screaming at them. ... You have enough things to deal with and to learn being a new parent and you add that on top of it, and it becomes really intense."

According to Jenner, Kanye's been into his girlfriend for a long, long time, and would even use Photoshop to draw himself into the yearly Kardashian-Jenner Christmas card. (Seriously -- Jenner showed proof.)

Although he couldn't quite remember the first time he met Kardashian, 32, Kanye did know it was love at first sight.

"I'm trying to remember if the first time we met was her being in the studio when she was Brandy's assistant, and I think she brought us in, like, something to drink," he said. "Or it might've been when I was doing Brandy's video and I remember asking my manager, 'Who is that girl right there?' ... I was in love with her before I even got to talk to her."

Kim, he said, was always someone he dreamed about being with, but more importantly, he feels that they're "equally yoked."

"Being in the limelight, you have to have a match, or someone that's equally yoked," he told Jenner. "It's difficult, because there's people that you would date who would try to date you to maybe be more famous, or people who would want you to be less famous than you were, and just not accept who you are in life. And when I would be on the phone with her, even at my lowest moments, she'd give me energy and remind me of who I was. And I needed that support at all times."

Kanye knows that there are those who think he and the Kardashian family wouldn't have much in common. But he's trying to grow both spiritually -- "I'm a Christian," he said, "That's what's important to me, that I grow and walk and raise my family with Christian values."

"People feel that me and my girlfriend's mother are of different brands in a way," he said. "But it's not about any of us being at odds, it's about us helping each other and improving each other. I might be one of the only guys in the world that knows how to pick out a pair of shoes for a girl, but I have improvements that I need to make as a human being ... the way that I talk to people, being too sharp with people, or being too edgy. As a creative guy, sometimes it's hard for me to small talk. ... And that's something that (the Kardashian) family and Kim are teaching me, helping me to be a better person."

Given the negative press he's had -- from that infamous mic-jacking at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards to more recent run-ins with the paparazzi -- does he have any regrets? Not exactly.

While there are things he wishes he could change, he also believes that "everything happened for a reason, and I've grown from it," he said. "I feel that I'm very, very, very blessed, and with that comes great responsibility. With the way my parents raised me and the information that they gave me and this feeling that I have that I want to help, I think anything that could be considered a mistake will help me to make better decisions in the future."
