Kanye West Hides His Face Under 4 Different Masks During Yeezus Tour

Normally masks provide a sense of anonymity, but not when Kanye West wears them!

In a not-so-new fashion statement, Kanye has fully embraced a masked musician theme for his Yeezus tour.

For the opening night in Seattle, the rapper performed in four different Maison Martin Margiela masks — all of which were reinterpreted from the design house’s archives exclusively for ‘Ye.

We can’t help but wonder how he can breathe with all those bedazzled trinkets covering the orifices required to sing! At the very least we hope they’re well ventilated. All that sweat adds up!

Mechanics aside, the masks are pretty awesome, albeit slightly creepy.

What do U think of his sparkly tour accessories???

Rita Ora’s Tin Man Chic In The Streets Of London

A mega crow’s dream come true, or fashion forward flair?

On Rita Ora, it’s both!!

Wearing a silver DKNY two-piece outfit and carrying a yellow brick road colored Chanel purse, the face of Material Girl looked as if she were off the see the wizard early Wednesday morning after a 12 hour studio session in London.

We would have preferred ruby slippers over Rita’s metallic Jimmy Choo pumps, but her red lips and matching mani more than made up for it.

Are U feeling Miz Ora’s Wizard of Oz-inspired getup???

Victoria’s Secret Makes A Hot Summer Video Series

Really, Victoria’s Secret? You just keep finding ways to make us love you more!

As if swimsuit catalogs and Christmas videos weren’t enough, now the lingerie giant is making a new Angels & Artists video series!

Basically, it’s what we’d want all music videos to look like, because they put a musical artist with some Angels.

For their first clip, Candice Swanepoel and Doutzen Kroes dance around in their beachwear to Bruno Mars‘ single Locked Out of Heaven.

It seems like the singer and VS have a pretty good thing going right now since he performed at the fashion show too.

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to see them frolic.

Rihanna Debuts NEW Song On Saturday Night Live! Check Out Stay AND Diamonds HERE!

While Anne Hathaway showed off her SERIOUS vocal prowess during her Saturday Night Live opening monologue – and some equally serious CRAZY during a HIGHlarious parody of Homeland – Rihanna was ALSO on hand to provide musical accompaniment for the evening!

And luckily for us, the starlet used the opportunity to debut a brand new track from her upcoming album, Unapologetic!

Ch-ch-check out Stay (above)!

WOW! It’s been a long time since we’ve heard her tackle such a straight-up, simple ballad!

But seriously, as far as we’re concerned, she’s never sounded more vulnerable…and STUNNING!

Just another gorgeous step in Rihanna’s ever-evolving sound! LOVE!

And feel free to watch gurlfriend once again remind us how EFFING SICK her latest single, Diamonds, is during her first live performance of the evening…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Robyn Unveils Post Body Talk Album Plans!

Thank the electro-powerhouse-pop goddess!!

Robyn, our favorite bleach blonde pixie (Sorry Miley Cyrus), is coming down from two years of vigorous touring, and will finally head back into the studio to work on her first album since Body Talk parts I, II, and III!

Before a recent show, the Dancehall Queen announced:

“Touring and writing doesn’t work. I’m coming off the road so I can release something quicker… I honestly didn’t expect to tour this year but I wanted to come back one last time before I go back into the studio.”

Yes yes yes a thousand times yes!!!

There are only so many times we can dance by ourselves to her slick dynamo track Dancing On My Own…

Our booties (and bootays!) be tired and we need new Robyn jamz to invigorate our tapping toes once again!

Jay-Z’s Got 99 Problems But Mitt Romney Ain’t One!

Jay-Z‘s got 99 problems but Mitt Romney ain’t one!

Although we’re seriously concerned about those other problems. If Jay’s got 99 problems then how many does that leave for the rest of us?

The answer is a lot!!!

Here we see the rapper perform before Barack Obama in Columbus, Ohio, Monday.

Needless to say – the performance was EPIC!!!

If this won’t convince those pesky undecided voters then we doubt anything will.

Ch-ch-check out the performance for yourself by clicking PLAY directly (above) !!!

Will Smith Freestyles Into Summertime And Fresh Prince At Gabrielle Union’s Birthday!

Is it just us, or has Will Smith been more and more frequently re-living his glory days as a rap superstar?!

Over the summer, the actor was more than happy to perform his classic Summertime AND the theme song for his now-classic TV series, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, on multiple occasions, and last night, did it all again in honor of Gabrielle Union‘s 40th birthday party in Miami!

BUT this time around, he even threw in an impromptu FREESTYLE – accompanied by Doug E Fresh beat-boxing – that we have to admit effing KILLS!

Give it a listen (above)!

Sounds like somebody’s STILL GOT IT!

Damn!

We have to wonder, with all of these recent performances, if he’s innerested in bringing Big Willy Style back for another album sometime soon!

Can’t say we’d be opposed! How about U guys??

Dita Von Teese Wears Something Prince-Worthy To His Show

We need a weekly Dita Von Teese appearance, at least!

The burlesque star hit up the super secret Prince concert in El Lay on Tuesday at the Sayers Club.

Dita our vida wore a gorgeous deep blue top, a black skirt, Christian Louboutin pumps and a black handbag.

This outfit’s all about the fierce ball ‘o fluff she’s rockin’ on her shoulder.

Loves it!

Bobby Brown’s Wife Rushed To Hospital After Suffering Seizure!

The drama for Bobby Brown just never seems to end!

Whitney Houston‘s ex-husband, who recently skipped out on a 90-day rehab treatment plan only three weeks in, almost missed a New Edition show last night when hours before he was supposed to go on, his wife of three months Alicia Etheredge was rushed to the hospital after having a seizure in her hotel room!

Thankfully, however, the musician took to Twitter to reveal that she’s currently on the mend!

He wrote:

The report that my wife was rushed to the hospital is true.She is recovering and in good spirits. Please keep my family in your prayers.

— Bobby Brown (@KingBobbyBrown) September 1, 2012

And he even made it back in time for his show, headlining the 10th Annual Tom Joyner Family Reunion at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, where he took a moment to announce to the crowd of 14,000:

“I’m seven and a half years off of narcotics, 21 days clean of alcohol, and I go by the name Bad Ass Bobby Brown.”

We are certainly glad to hear that!

And hopefully, he can continue to keep it up!

He’s going to need to – especially if his wife is having some health issues!

We’ll be keeping you both in our thoughts! Stay strong!
