Kanye West is currently attending the Cannes Lions advertising & technology festival in France. He flew out of NYC yesterday to come to the festival because he was part of a panel discussion called “Translation: Technology, Culture, and Consumer Adoption: Learning to Read the Cultural Landscape.” Kanye dropped some Yeezington Truths on the conference attendees. While his words don’t read as the usual Kanye-style rants, there’s still a great vein of narcissism and delusion running through the comments. Some highlights:
Why he’s with Kim: Because she is the ‘number one woman in the world’. He said: ‘I can’t be with any girl but Kim because that’s the girl I look at her pictures the most, I get turned on the most.’
He has to work with the number-one people: ‘Throughout my entire life because of the way my parents raised me, I was like “I have to work with the number one” I can’t work with anyone but Jay Z because that’s the number one. I can’t represent any company but Louis Vuitton because that’s the number one. Before Obama, there was Jesse Jackson, there were different people, talking about blacks particularly in America that were not allowed to drink from the cleanest fountain, to work with the best resources. It’s like Michaelangelo told he’s not allowed to carve with marble but told he’s got to use cement or something like that.’
Celebrity culture: ‘I hate the one off, celebrities a lot of time are treat, because I am a lot of things but I am a celebrity and we are treated as rentable, like a one off, just enough to advertise a product and get it out.’
Photoshopping his wedding photos after Annie Leibovitz canceled: ‘I’ll tell you a little story about the Kiss photo that my girl put up. We – and this was p***ing my girl off during the honeymoon. She was exhausted because we worked on the photo so much because Annie Leibovitz pulled out of the wedding, because I think she was scared of the idea of celebrity. But because Annie pulled out, I was like “I still want my wedding photos to look like Annie Leibovitz’s photos” and we sat there and worked on that photo for four days – because the flowers were off-colour and stuff like that. Can you imagine telling someone who wants to just Instagram a photo, who’s the number one person on Instagram, “We need to work on the colour of the flower wall”, or the idea that it’s a Givenchy dress, and it’s not about the name Givenchy, it’s about the talent that is Riccardo Tisci – and how important Kim is to the internet. And the fact the number one most-liked photo [on Instagram] has a kind of aesthetic was a win for what the mission is, which is raising the palette. It was a long time.’
I’ve been paying attention to Kanye’s rants and raves for years now, and while some of you might be rolling your eyes at him, I actually think this is one of his better interviews. By that I mean that I understand the point he’s trying to make but I don’t agree with it at all. Usually his rants/stories are just a series of name-drops and delusion. But yeah… Kanye needs to take a seat. I kind of loved the idea of Kim and Kanye spending their honeymoon Photoshopping their wedding photos though. I totally believe that’s what happened too!

It took them four days to photoshop one pic ??? Four days of their 5 day honeymoon…
They should have hired me to edit them. I do it all day anyway. And I’m in ireland. They could have dropped them into the office and they could have them back by the time they flew back to “the continent” 😉
Yeah but are you a “genius” like Kanye? He is the Greatest Of All Time you know.
Yes but then they would have been forced to spend time together!
I guess they don’t have much to talk about apart from how much of a genius he is and how beaitiful she is.
They’re thoughts are as deep as a flat puddle. At least editing one picture kept them quite occupied for DAYS, i mean, that’s hard work and commitment!
@me I AM A GENIUS. GOD AND YEEZY AIN’T GOT NOTHING ON MY SICK EDITING SKILLS!!! I AM THE GREATEST EVER!!
Isn’t it romantic? *cough*
Yeah like they couldn’t have waited until their honeymoon was over to photoshop and release that pic? It just had to be done on their honeymoon right? How strange.
Who says romance is dead?
They spent all that time sucking the life out of Photoshop and still they couldn’t edit North’s “Harpo, who this woman?” expression?
+10000
They spent all that time sucking the life out of Photoshop and still they couldn’t edit North’s “Harpo, who this woman?” expression?
*flatlines*
Thank you rice. I needed a good belly laugh.
YES! Too funny!
MUAHAHAHA!
hahahahah!!!!! I love this comment!!!!! 🙂
Every photo of that child taken…it has the same perplexed expression that it’s father has in almost every photo ever taken of him. Like there is something troubling them…That child hasn’t got a chance. It will grown up thinking that the most important thing in life is how it dresses for the photographers! Sad
I think he sounds insane in that interview.
He sounds completely detached from reality, even an adjusted view of it. And I’m sorry, but Annie lebowitz was “intimidated by celebrity”? *pats kanye on the head* sit down, little boy.
E Network probably refused to pay Annie’s huge salary.
It’s not like she’s known as a “celebrity photographer”. She’s mostly known for her landscape work…
Ehrr..what celebrities?
The biggest star at their wedding was Andrea Bocelli and he wasn’t there for pleasure. They had to pay him to be there.
Talk about delusion..
Meh. Bocelli isnt on most peoples radar. Most wouldnt recognise him and couldnt name you a single song. John Legend would be a bigger star imo, Bocelli is just in a snootier genre of music, thats all.
Kanye is crazy. But I still think Crazy is better than Fame/Money Hungry Manipulative Bag. The Klan couldnt be more excited to hear Kanye air out his narcisism like this, trust me all these silly Kanye utterances will be turned on him to illustrate what a “dreadful” married life Kim had.
S.O.R.R.Y.
bocelli is an enormous celebrity.
true, god-given talent with an enormous world-wide following.
i was shocked to learn that he sang at this travesty of a wedding.
it was so beneath him.
YUP
kanye sounds insane and about to go postal every time he talks.
scary
Yeah, Kanye. Because Anne Leibowitz has never dealt with real celebrities before, so of couse she was intimidated by the magnificence that was Kimye.
NOT.
I think he sounds insane every time he opens his mouth.
He sounds manic.
Annie Leibovitz scared of celebrity? That’s hilarious..
To the rest of his gibberish, what I got out of it was: it’s better to have the appearance of being happy than to actually be happy.
Kiddo, you are brilliant and your comment is spot on. It’s all about illusion with them. The illusion of being perfect, the illusion of being happy, the illusion of being filthy rich (they are rich but not as rich as we think), the illusion of a perfect body, the illusion of a perfect life. These two are sad.
Kiddo, your ability to cut to the heart of the matter is breathtaking.
You are so right! A wedding is to celebrate how in love you are, and the fact they wouldn’t be using their honeymoon time to focus on that love, but would rather photoshop the appearance of a “loving moment” speaks volumes. They seem so platonic to me. I get no heat from them at all, but maybe that is because she can’t move her face.
He honestly does, he should seriously get checked out.
Yes. I truly think Kanye suffers from some kind of mental illness. His behaviour is not normal, even for an out of touch celebrity. I agree with the statement that he’s completely detached from reality, especially when it comes to Kim. The number one woman on the internet? Okay, I’ll give you that with all the attention she receives, but I don’t think he GETS it that most of the attention Kim receives is full of hate and negativity. I’d wager a guess that 95% of the people talking about her on the internets hate/dislike her. How is that amazing in his mind, or something that people want to aspire to? And not only that, she’s altered her physical appearance SO MUCH that she doesn’t even look like her original self anymore – in what world does anyone but Kanye think that is something to aspire to?
“And not only that, she’s altered her physical appearance SO MUCH that she doesn’t even look like her original self anymore – in what world does anyone but Kanye think that is something to aspire to?” Well, this is EXACTLY what Kanye thinks people should aspire to. Think about it: they spent all that time photoshopping a picture so OTHER people would think it was perfect. It wasn’t enough that they were there and they were together; no, the picture had to look a certain way so other people could admire it and aspire to be them (even though it wasn’t ACTUALLY what happened because the image was altered). So I don’t think Kanye sees anything wrong with the fact that his “perfect b*tch” had to cut, tweak, inject and botox herself into “perfection.”
@msmirna – excellent points.
he doesn’t seem to grasp that most of the attention she gets stems from her getting filmed while a different dude than him peed on her.
He still has not caught on to the fact that usually ‘real’ geniuses never brag about how brilliant and special they are.
And we have a winner, he also doesn’t understand that only insecure people have to continually tell people how amazing they are and how great their choices are and how hot their wife is on the Internet. And his laughable name dropping of geniuses does not elevate him above them in any way shape or form.
He’s as delusional as falcor. They are almost identical in their thinking, narcissism, insecurity, and literally deluded. Wonder what he’d say when compared to her?
I agree.Completely out of his mind.He has to have everything number one.Totally ridiculous.Sorry everyone you will be reading that he has a drug or alcohol problem which I think he does.At least it would explain his erratic behavior.If this is him as a person he needs to go see a therapist and get some medication.
lots of crazy Kanye:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZZVhHo3s74
Thanx lulu1.He is out of his mind.Sorry Kanye I don’t know the name of your clothing line.I only know of one song of yours and to have this much rage is not normal.People try and defend him by saying he hasn’t been the same since his Mom died.We all have parents that pass away.My Dad did over ten tears ago but do we act like this?Seriously.He needs to get some help and get over himself.You aren’t great and no more important then anyone.Can this man be any more vile?
Hannah, Annie photographs celebs all the time and has become famous for her avante-garde approach. Working with them once was probably more than enough for her. A photographer tries to captures the soul and essence of their subject, and sadly, they lack both. It must have been a painful shoot for her. Only the baby came out adorable in the VF photos.
That flower wall looks like mold or strep throat
Bahahaha!!
This made me howl like a crazy puppy!
Oh my god can’t unsee! hahahaha
Holy crap you are so right! Haha I hadn’t noticed until you pointed it out but how incredibly accurate.
Yes, or two giant wedges of blue cheese.
yes – but FRENCH cheese, cos Kanye all about Paris and France and that’s not just any old moldy blue cheese that’s French Louis Vuitton number one blue cheese and if it isn’t, then that’s like Annie leibovitz having to photograph mozzarella and everybody knows that portlaoise is where it’s at.
Like moldy blue cheese. Is that what they photoshopped? THAT is how they wanted it to look?!
Right? I appreciate all the time and effort involved but damn that wall looks weird. I feel bad for the flowers that gave their lives to that monstrosity.
@Kate2 they probably died quicker witnessing what they did LOL
Oh my god you’re right…the more I look at it, the wall of flowers resembles old, moldy cauliflower!
I thought it looked like mouldy cauliflower too, what taste these two have…they really make me feel sick !!!!
So you’re with Kim because looking at her pictures gives you a bigger hard on than looking at other girls’ pictures?? How romantic. Kim’s a lucky gal.
Well she’s the “number one woman in the world” LOL. He does realize at some point she will become an old lady right? She isn’t going to look this way forever. Is he going to trade her in once she doesn’t turn him on anymore ???
Plastic doesn’t age.
I think that’s a pretty safe bet – the second she becomes #2, he’ll flush her down just as if she WAS a #2!
The only one I really feel for in the whole mess is the poor baby. If the only thing that matters is physical perfection and fame – how the ruddy hell is the kid going to manage to navigate life? EVERYONE has ugly duckling phases of their lives. For some, the teen years are hell, others are babies who take a bit to finish ‘cooking’, others middle age isn’t kind or hard living makes those golden years a wee less shiny. That’s just life. If everything, at all times is just about the physical, how can you make it to adulthood with your sanity and spirit intact?
No, I tell a lie. I kinda feel bad for Kim too. Yes, she made this bed, yes she chose this life – but to know, from day one, that there is a countdown clock hanging over your marriage, and one day someone is gonna be hotter to your husband and he’s perfectly content to just chug on along to the next when you fade has got to be pretty horrifying to wake up to everyday.
Or am I giving her way too much credit and there is nothing going on between her ears then vapid ‘gawd, I’m so HAWT’ whistling in the dark?
Ive always pictured Kim and klohe in a run down mansion, fighting each other with abandoned body parts “death becomes her” style. While kris stands on the landing in a ball gown, embalmed and over looking the debacle, the two girls-now old ladies- shrieking and calling up to her about whose hair looks better. Yesh.
Or whose butt hasn’t reached the back of their knees yet!
God, he’s deep! So we know she turns him on but does
he respect her as a woman, a mother or even a human
being? Thought not…..
This man is raising a daughter…that is frightening.
It’s not like she’s deep, though. It’s best, as a normal person, not to ponder their relationship, I figure. You and I will never understand it.
she’s a trophy. He thought she was considered the hottest woman in the world, so he claimed her. He’ll trade her in one day. He just seems to want to collect the best of everything. He never talks about her personal qualities, just about how she is perfect. Nobody’s perfect. Relationships are supposed to be about loving imperfect people. It’s quite sad, but I guess she’s gone into this willingly. Poor IgNori hasn’t, though.
LOL! Seriously. That really jumped out at me as well.
Whoa. It may not be a rant, but a quiet delusional ramble can be scarier than a rant. So, Kim is “the number one girl? And Tisci is the number one….designer. I guess that makes the Kardashian Klan the number one family? He’s gone mad, totally mad. A bride and groom Photoshop for 4 hours on their honeymoon in IRELAND??! My gawd…bonkers!!!!!
Not 4 hours, but 4 DAYS!
I cannot believe these cretins wasted 4 days on Photoshop whilst in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Please, someone get me a mallet. I thought 4 hours was terrible. To paraphrase”These painted children of dirt that stink and sting…Oh, Mr. Pope, you had no idea!! They suck.
Kanye is highly visual. So while I would expect most people to say something deep, not him This works out well because Kim is no scholar herself. At no point did anyone really think these two were having intellectual conversations with each other (although I’m sure in their minds they are). The only issue is that I think this heightened Kim’s obsession with her looks. I know that seems impossible, but you can tell Kim has gotten more concerned with her face, body, clothing etc. EVERY time she steps out of the house. It’s quite sad because it looks like it’s taking a toll on her. She doesn’t smile… EVER.
She doesn’t smile because it’s “high fashion” to not smile, supposedly.
wouldn’t it be amazing to be a fly on the wall for like 1/2 hour and listen to a conversation they’re having? is it crazy/ranty on kanye’s side, and totally quiet on kim’s? that must be some surreal $hit.
@Jag – That could also be it. I also think she Botoxed her face so much that smiling is a strain. Because even when she does smile it looks uncomfortable.
@Ag – Yes it would be! I imagine Kanye talking, Kim giving her opinions and then Kanye either (1) glosses over her opinions b/c they don’t matter to him; or (2) using her ideas and acting like they’re his own; or (3) a combination of both.
Exactly. And when she’s served his purposes he will move on. It’s like he said, before Obama it was Jesse Jackson… At least he’s up front with his motives.
**rolling my eyes**
and before Kim it was Amber Rose.
and before Kanye it was…….
Being turned on by someone you are in a relationship should be a given. But to make it sound like it’s THE reason you are with her, is insulting and degrading. Then again look who we are talking about. She obviously has no problem being degraded or that video wouldn’t have contained what it did.
Agreed. And Kanye wonders why no one respects his new wife. The reason HE gave for being with her is signaling that Kim doesn’t merit respect.
That part about her pictures turning him on pinged my gaydar. It’s like he’s trying to say what he thinks a straight husband would say. It’s a weird, weird comment on so many levels. He married an Instagram picture and spent his honeymoon photoshopping it! And she didn’t “get” it! Trouble already?
“we’re totally having heterosexual sex.” (tobias fumke.)
Belle, you nailed it. Totally, totally nailed it.
So they spent four days in Ireland photoshoping a kiss picture to put on Instagram so we could all feel the truth of their number 1 love? Yeezus, you kill me.
What I find more interesting is that he all but says that Kim wanted to just post the damn picture and move on, and HE was all “we gotta get them flowers right baby.” This man stole 4 hours of her life right then for a dumb fixation on irrelevant perfection. Imagine what that poor baby is going to have to go through.
I’m sure Kim spent those four hours looking in the mirror practicing her “duck face”. I think Kim spends many hours filtering her own bikini pics. She’s not innocent of altering her pics either. The amount of time these two spend on trying to portray a “perfect image” is A LOT of time wasted they could be spending with their daughter.
@ me I feel for the daughter because if he’s willing to upset someones entire schedule over a picture imagine the injustices shes going to suffer. What do you think his reaction is going to be the first time she draws something for him. He’s going to make her redo it until its perfect for Instagram *facepalm
I wonder how many pictures of them asleep did Kim or anyone must have taken of Kanye and North to get the “right” atmosphere, the “right” pose? If he was sleeping I would eat my hat.
Honestly, in many ways, I feel it is better for their child that these two are so easily distracted by mirrors and photographs. They are both incapable of thinking of anyone but themselves and their image, the innocent baby is better off in the hands of people hired to care for her. A child deserves loving parents and these two can’t do that when they’re so busy contemplating their own navels and fame on Instagram.
@me: Not only could they spend it with their daughter (of which I guess he saw her a whole two days), they could also spend time building a relationship with each other to make sure this is not divorce number three for Kim – although the odds of them staying together is not great.
@me @swack They do have a relationship: with their huge egos. There’s no room for anyone else, poor IgNori.
Their whole existence is trying to portray ‘perfect’.
Way to NOT really live or enjoy life. Doesn’t surprise me tho
Maybe that explains the distance from the child. I could see these two thinking that crying, teething, being frustrated, “still” wearing diapers, etc… is too less than perfect for them. Maybe they check in every once in awhile to see how she’s progressing. But anyone with children knows that the first thing you do is throw perfect out the window and strive for happy and giggles as often as possible.
They treat that baby like a pet, it’s sad.
Ugh… The vanity with these two is truly next-level. I can’t help feeling sorry for Kim. To rest your entire self worth on how you look is a losing battle. I hope they can eventually mature and recognize that being beautiful on the inside is all that matters. I know it’s an old fashioned concept and all but it makes me shudder the amount of money that gets flushed down the toilet with these two.
Bingo. It is a losing battle. Its sad because you know she is going to try to delay Father Time because all her self worth is wrapped up in her appearance OR she knows Kanye only is with her for her appearance.
Either way it is a recipe for disaster and only means the plastic surgery is going to be more frequent and extreme.
She hasn’t learned something different. Look at her mother. Look at her family. I just feel sorry for North, it will be hard growing up around these two as parents.
Yup. My first thought as well. No wonder she’s so image-obsessed.
What a waste. Without the internet mocking Kim and her family she wouldn’t be “number 1”. Annie Lebowitz made a career of photographing celebrities. She isn’t afraid of celebrities Kayne, but didn’t want her name associated with your farce of a wedding. Kim looks absolutely 100% plastic in the picture of the family and Ignori looks miserable. Truly sad. They are a vial and boring couple.
I know, the Annie Leibovitz comment made me laugh. Yeah, the woman who photographed John Lennon was intimidated by Kim Kardashian’s star power. Sure. I bet she was never hired to begin with.
I thought she did the photos for their Vogue issue. Maybe after that, she put her hands in the air and said,’I’m done’.
I just found it amusing that he readily admits to spending days trying to make their photos LOOK like Annie Leibovitz took them when she refused.
@Tiffany– If she shot the Vogue photos. she was hired by Vogue and not Kimye. The Vogue photos were beautiful.
If their biggest concern about their wedding is to make some pics to look good…i have to say that those two together are a match made in heaven. Or hell.
whatever. I just can’t.
I know. What a honeymoon. If it was her honeymoon with Reggie, he wouldn’t be sitting there pouring over touching up a photo for four days. He would be having wild sex with Kim.
I’m just trying to imagine if Ray-J had gotten Kim pregnant, how different her life (and ours) would be.
This! What Jayna said… Reggie would be nowhere near a computer on his honeymoon
Why does everyone idealise reggie bush? I watched early episodes of KUWTK and saw the way that they were together… They didn’t match at all! He wanted her to play second fiddle to his football star and she wanted to be a famous celebrity…. Two people completely mismatched. Not only that, but Reggie was a d-ck to her. I wish people would stop idealising him as if he was her soul mate. He wasn’t.
These two seek so much publicity and money grubbing all the time that someone needs to tell them that their Q’s are dropping rapidly and the harder they try the more people don’t like them. And let’s face it, who can believe they are legally married when no one has provided their license with a date and a seal proving it so. We all know the events in Europe were only for show and held zero legal stance. Until I see that license I say that they have yet to marry legally because that is how truthful these two have proven to be with stunt after stunt. Call me jaded.
I don’t care if they’re legally married or not and if it is some elaborate charade to pretend to be married, I will find that humorous because nobody cares. Most people think Kim is a train-wreck and the countdown to her marriage, or just their relationship, imploding is on and every time Kanye opens his mouth, it’s a whole new parade of crazy clowns. If they weren’t both such nasty and selfish people, I might almost feel sorry for them but, they seem determined to prove, they’re horrible and worthy of despising.
‘I can’t be with any girl but Kim because that’s the girl I look at her pictures the most, I get turned on the most.’
What the hell kind of sentence is this?!?!?
That jumped out at me as well.
I’d be sooo mad if that was my husband’s answer as to “why he’s with me”…Forget intelligence, charisma, humour, honesty…my gd pictures turn you on???!!
He’s just being honest. I mean if he said “Kim’s intelligence and sense of humor are what make me love her” we would all laugh.
Because normally it takes a guy to turn him on.
I heard him say before that when he would have sex with other women, he had to watch her sex tape to get off. He’s one classy guy.
I wonder if Kanye has ever entertained the fact that Kim just settled for him.
Yeah, no kidding.
Right! Does he not see she only took him because no one else would take her?
..how important Kim is to the internet. Lol
Yes, that was a funny line!
You know who else is important to the internet? Tub Girl and Keyboard Cat.
The thing that makes me saddest it that if she did not hook up with him after her divorce, she probably would have disappeared into irrelevance by now, instead we get her strutting around like she is the Queen of England (sorry England) Thanks Kanye, you jackass
Skins you are right and that is why she hooked up with this jackass in the first place. If he is making her life hell, she deserves it.
Yes, as was her plan, don’t be naive please, she will do whatever to stay relevant to the tabloids and E! Her life is over if the paps stop shooting. She is an empty person.
The level of narcissism is astounding. These fools spent FOUR DAYS of their honeymoon photoshopping their wedding pic. I would hate to be so empty that something this minute on your WEDDING DAY consumes 4 days of your life.
Ding, ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.
I agree. How pathetic.
And after photoshopping for four days it *still* looks like they’re standing in front of a wall of cauliflower.
I must be very slow because I NEVER understand WTF this egocentric jack ass has to say, and quite frankly nor do I care.
Here’s the thing. Photoshop IS the devil. It gives people the dishonest notion that people are physically perfect and that everything in the world is bright and shiny and without flaws. I may sound like a Kanyesque jack ass BUT are natural photos showing pur flaws and those flaws in nature not what makes things unique and beautiful.? I have never Photoshopped pics. I like images as they are, not as Walt Disney animators see them
*steps off soap box*
Yep. Exactly why SouthPark mocked Kim. She sets a horrible image for girls. Kim was much prettier before plastic surgery. Why get plastic surgery if you are just going to photoshop your image anyway?
I agree. No photoshop, no Botox, no nipping, no tucking. Yes, I’m spotty, wrinkly and starting to sag, get over it. I also look like my mother and my great-grandmother and I prefer not to erase my identity because the mirror tells me I’m not 21 anymore.
‘I can’t be with any girl but Kim because that’s the girl I look at her pictures the most…
I find that very telling- the photos do more for him than the real girl.
Frankly, I think he sees her as his blow up doll.
He probably had his very own Kimmie blowup doll for years until he got the real thing. Ewwww.
What’s “real” about her ?
@me,
Heh. Good point.
How about, “the humanoid who exists in 3D”?
@Jayna
Ewww.
Well, she does kind of look like one sooo….
I’d say she’s nailed the look. That or cat/alien combo.
How can anyone read that and not roll their eyes??!! Even narcissists tell him to sit the hell down.
As if his actions didn’t already make it abundantly evident, each time he speaks he reveals his profound lack of intelligence, and his equally profound shallowness.
Oh my Gawd. Annie Liebowitz, famous celebrity photographer, “…pulled out of the wedding, because I think she was scared of the idea of celebrity.” And another part of this interview I saw over at DM is that he said none of us could accept the awesomeness of the Bound video because we don’t understand interracial relationships. Oh, and we don’t understand the concept of the art world meeting the pop world.
I mean…I just can’t. This guy is legit crazy.
Oh sorry Kanye, we aren’t all as smart as you. Good thing you picked such an intelligent wife to marry !
Right, the video sucked because we (the ignorant masses) can’t understand interracial relationships. No, the video sucked because it was awful.
And if his daughter was born with some physical defect would they have given her up for adoption? What if his daughter grows up to be average and not the “most beautiful woman of all time”…will he not love her? He is a jackass. Nori has no chance in hell of being normal. If her own father doesn’t force her into plastic surgery to make her “perfect” her mother and grand-mother will. Let’s hope this little girl grows up resenting her parents and leaving at the age of 16 and ends up with a PHD or something.
I LOVED this story. I’m no fan of Kanye or his music, but I get him enough to understand he is like the Sheldon Cooper of rap. He doesn’t understand how off his comments sound because he is not operating on the same social wavelength as everyone else. I can totally see him in the hotel room, laptop on desk, Annie Liebovitz pictures spread around, muttering to himself while making minor adjustments invisible to the Instagram viewer… all the while, Kim is sitting on the bed dressed to the nines, huffing and puffing and texting the paps that they will be walking down the street “any minute now…” It’s no wonder she needed that second, more pap-worthy honeymoon.
Ahaha!! I love the imagery your post gave me.
Yes! That’s the image – that’s got to be pretty close to the truth.
Hey, anyone remember that awful dress she wore to the Met last year? The crazy-glove-flower-tischi disaster that we were all too stupid to understand? Maybe that’s where the ‘dress that was supposed to blend into the wall of flowers’ came from?
One thing though – having seen the Vogue shoot and recovered from my inherent difficulty with interracial relationships (thanks Kanye – I would never have known), I went back to watch Bound 2 because apparently now, we all understand it…
And then I watched the Seth Rogen/James Franco one again….and I still understand that one much better!
“he is like the Sheldon Cooper of rap”
LMFAO!
So true!
She Bwah??! I bet next you’ll tell me rain falls from the sky and the sun sets in the west.
Of course she did. This is what she and her family do along with Miranda Kerr, Lilo, and loads of other celebs/public personas. It’s best to assume you’re never looking at a real picture from online.
You actually believe they know how to use Photoshop? Or any editing software beyond the IG filters?
Now giving final approval on someone else’s work, THAT I believe.
I tried to be understanding of him during the post regarding him and Mike Myers. I just can’t with this idiot.
I am still so shocked at her wedding dress. I totally expected cleavage canyon and slits up to her crotch.
maybe next time
LOL
She’s all class now, didn’t you know? She’s a style icon now, and she had to be an iconic bride for the ages. LOL
Oh my god that was painful to read. Seriously, how many broken sentences can one person have? Was that English originally? Because it reads like it was spit out by Google translator or something.
He just drips the douche oil.
Oh, and I could not hate that dress more. The top looks like a lobster bib.
For someone trying so hard to put out a perfect image, why doesn’t he work on his speaking skills?
And his Mother was a English professor. Ugh.
I didn’t know his Mother was an English professor. You’d think he’d have a better command of the English language. Kate2 is right, his rants are always painfully difficult to read.
They spent 4 days photoshopping that pic to make it look perfect enough to release to the public. They really care what us peasants think don’t they? We need a revolution…we can de-throne these two, we hold all the power lol.
He sounds like he should be in a mental institution. Totally delusional.
LOL you can see the pastor’s body in the background, you can see his robe, but they chopped out his head !
That is too funny and rather sad to see the robe flapping and be out of context. And if they wanted it “perfect” why have that obvious “hot spot” right down the middle where you eye goes first. I could have done a better job in my old photo dark room burning that baby down to be tolerable, but I guess I am too old school for the ” #1 internet sensation”. Also, Annie Leibowitz may be near broke, but she is not that desperate that she would do that job.
At first this is funny, then sad, really, really sad. These folks are millionaires and it just seems unfair that people who actually do something with their lives, help others and do good can’t get recognition or be paid well. But I guess that is just the way things are.
You are right, this world is very unfair.
‘I can’t be with any girl but Kim because that’s the girl I look at her pictures the most, I get turned on the most.’ LOL. well, at least he didn’t say it was her sparkling wit, sharp intelligence, or awesome personality?
narcissistic fools. they’re nothing but notches on the belts to each other.
He didn’t say she’s the only woman that turns him on…he just said she turns him on “the most”. I wonder who is second on that list.
PMK. lol
Won’t two married narcissists eventually implode?
We can only hope.
BTW – I don’t know what ranking system he’s using, but I have a mug that says I’M number one. Suck on that Kanye.
hahaha !
‘I can’t be with any girl but Kim because that’s the girl I look at her pictures the most, I get turned on the most.’
Geez, I know intelligence might not be there for her. He could’ve said she makes him laugh or something but she turns him on the most? That’s degrading, and obviously there are others who turn him on second and third, so eventually we will hear about him sleeping with those.
4 days photo-shopping a pic, really? why should he care what we think about his wedding photo. Damn this guy is full of himself.
Poor Kim, settled for Kanye. Her best time was when she was with Reggie, I think that was the last time, she has been real.
Let’s be real though, he is saying these things to make headlines and still be relevant
Anne Leibovitz is “scared of the idea of celebrity”? Has he ever said anything dumber than this?
More like “scared of D-list”.
He married her because “she’s the number one woman in the world”!? WTF?!! Not because of a special connection, she carried my child, or he loves her and can’t live without her….?? No. It’s because he has to “work with #1 people.” Let’s hope they don’t have a baby #2 then. Wow. Just wow.
Yeah makes me realize he’s only connected with Jay-Z because he believes Jay-Z is #1. I don’t think Kanye and Jay-Z actually have a friendship, it’s all business.
Yeah really if Kimye has another kid, how can they both be the “best baby of all time”?
He’s just collecting people.
Really? They devoted most of their honeymoon to photoshopping the bleu cheese backdrop and the amish-gone-wrong wedding dress? Such flagrant bad choices.
That’s one weird, illiterate little dude.
Because they already had their honeymoon long time ago. Maybe this honeymoon thing should be omitted for couples who have been doing it for a while or change it to another word.
I don’t think Kanye gets that Annie Leborvitze didn’t want to be connected with those spectacles.
He only wants to be associated with the best huh? So that’s why he left Nike (number 1) to go to Adidas? He left Nike because of money, he already admitted that. He’s a hypocrite. His standards of what constitutes the “best” or “number 1” must be pretty low if he truly believes Kim is the “best woman on this earth”. It’s a slap in the face to real women solving real-world problems and making the world a better place.
I find it hilarious that even I have a selfie with Annie (THAT SHE TOOK!!!!) and these two couldn’t even get her to photograph their wedding. I feel so cool now knowing I was photographed by Annie and they weren’t, albeit on my own iPhone…but still! LOL
P.S. – if I could post photos in the comments, I totally would put my Annie pic up!!
awesome!
Wow – are these people even human? Even he admits that they are just products, not actual humans with feelings. This was no marriage – it was a product placement/endorsement and he’s advertising the fact that he doesn’t love her, he likes her trashy image. He’s a sad little boy and she’s a lightly animated blow-up doll, purposefully left dull and dumb.
It disturbs me the way that he talks about her. He talks about her like she’s a thing. And after reading the rest of his rant, I almost feel badly for her. She cannot be happy, no matter how much she proclaims otherwise. Kanye is insane. I hope her Vogue cover and the marginal bump up in society she gets by being with him was worth selling her soul for.
She’s happy because she is being papped every day and written about. She gets to do her photo-ops. She got on Vogue. This is what she lives for. Happy? No. But happier than she was with Kris because he wanted to live a regular life. She is as shallow as they come. Don’t feel sorry for her.
Also, if was married and my husband told a major news outlet that the “reason” he married me is that pictures of me are the only ones that TURN HIM ON the most?? I’d be mortified, what in the actual f*ck?
So, he gauges “marriage material” by determining whose pictures are the best to choke the chicken to.
Just no Kanye.
” North got her first school photo ….I’m gonna spend 6 months photoshopping it before it goes in the year book”
” this is North’s first tooth – I’m gonna photoshop the moon onto her head so you can all see the tooth is white and the moon is white”
” This is my mother-in-law’s only natural wrinkle. I still want the wrinkle to look like Annie Leibovitz’s photos so I’m gonna sit here and worked on this photo for the weekend – because the wrinkle is off-colour and stuff like that.
This is the inside of my nostril.. It’s the number one nostril in the world. I’m gonna spend four months working on this nostril cause the colors not right and then I’m gonna let my girl put it on instagram for everyone to pray to.
Did I say JayZ is number 1?
That doesn’t make any sense, because I’m number 1. It’s really confusing being me.
Also, this is the number 1 funniest thread on Celebitchy ever
Correct me if I’m wrong, but hasn’t Annie Leibovitz photographed some of the most famous celebrities around? I don’t know much about her work but I do remember seeing the Disney dream series with different celebrities portraying iconic Disney characters. I seriously doubt the reason she pulled out was because she was scared of Kim and Kanye’s epic celebrity. And it kills me to refer to Kim as a “celebrity.”
The woman’s legacy will be photographing John Lennon hours before his death. She took snaps of Presidents, Heads of State and was personally requested by the Queen of England for her services. I read up on her and when her partner died she was left with a mountain of debt to this day she is still paying off. She even sold of some of her original stills to get out of it. Factor in her children and the fact that she turned down a gig that could have easily paid her seven figures if she asked for it, that should tell him something. Ye was born on Tuesday, but not last night. His ego was hit and hit hard not getting a fantastic photographer like Annie to take his photos hence the assinine response he gave in regards to the photos.
So, basically Annie Leibovitz ditched them AND Jay Z and Beyoncé? Wouldn’t you think that would tell him something?
That blue cheese wall of flowers just boggles the mind.
This idiot doesn’t make any sense when
he speaks…
I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking, it took them four days to photo-shop that crappy photo? That is incredibly sad because that photo sucks. It reminds me of a high school photography class project. In fact, legions of high school students could have done a much better job.
Photoshopping wedding pics at a honeymoon? Who does that? Kanye and Kim are so psycho that they would put anyone in an insane asylum with their ways.
They spent 4 days photoshopping these photos and the best they could do was a photo where Kim looks like a mannequin, Kanye isn’t paying attention, and the baby is about to cry. NICE lol
Serious question – when will their fifteen minutes finally be up? Surely the madness of their wedding was the beginning of the end for them?
I always thought Kanye was harmless but I am actually scared for that little girl. His obsession with “number one” is frightening. It kind of seems like it could become abusive even, because he is subtly telling everyone around them that they are not good enough. What happens when North does her first drawing? Is he going to tell her that it’s not “number one” enough?
He sounds f-cking exhausting.
The headline made me laugh out loud. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Hello PMK and her minions keeping an eye on gossip sites such as Celebitchy! Your epic PR plan to position this marriage as “wedding of the century” to drum up even more interest in the Kardashian Klan has failed. Ratings are massively down and your products are in bargain bins. No-one wanted to pay millions for the wedding pics. Why? We’re totally sick of you all and the continued PR drivel even has gossip-naïve people rolling their eyes at your nonsense. There’s just nothing else to say about any of you that is even remotely interesting. We can comment all day on the various attributes of your family & hangers on because it’s free. Doesn’t mean we like you, admire you, think you’re worthy. We’re not going to actually pay hard-earned $ for any of the krap you lot are shilling. With this wedding the Kardashians have officially ‘jumped the shark’. Google it to see what it means.
My 12-year old daughter asked why you are famous. I told her it’s because Kim allowed herself to be filmed having sex and her mum sold the dvds and made money from it. She said “that’s not OK. What a strange girl. What sort of mum does that?” even before I told her the same thing.
Yours sincerely, a normal person completely over the Kardashians x
I never know where to start with these two/this family. Kanye has the biggest inferiority complex, which he tries to make up for by pretending he has a god complex. Doesn’t make sense but it’s true. Kim’s always offering her boobs/butt/body part up like a platter of cold meat. She’s just impossibly dumb. I feel they are really a new low in pop culture. And didn’t Kanye make a scene because even Jay-Z and Beyonce refused to attend?
GIRL, I agree. I used to think he was harmless and just didn’t articulate himself well so therefore misunderstood. But its clear to be all this “the best” and “number 1” stuff his parents put in his head, probably to instill standards, ended up giving him an inferiority complex that he tries to compensate for by playing supreme. Sadly, I think he’s in danger of believing it.
Does no one else feel that both the Annie and Jay-Z comments were meant to shade them? I don’t think he’s saying she told him that he’s saying the fact that she pulled out of Kimye’s wedding she obviously doesn’t understand that they’re the best. Since Bey-Z didn’t grace his nuptials, his comment about Jay was probably to pave the way for him to say he’s moving on from him to bigger and better.
He was always into Kim bc her notoriety (and yes beauty) made her #1 in his eyes. He doesn’t care if its negative attention, especially now that he sees himself aligned with her (and with his god complex/innovative issues he believes he’s helped improve her and create something better in their union). He probably thinks people just don’t “get” her either. They are two number1s and a power couple in his eyes.
As far as she is concerned, he’s kept her relevant, he esteemed her (although its only her image) and she’s part of a “celebrity couple. Its true he is the reason her star hasn’t faded yet and BOTH of them know it.
As far as Nori goes, I don’t think we have to worry about her being abused. I’ve taught for 10 years half with low economic families and the other with wealthy families and the one thing they all have in common is parents can be delusional/blind when it comes to their kids because they are extensions of themselves in their early years. Kanye already thinks he and Kim are number 1 and Nori belongs to them so he is not some common child she’s their child. #1 by extension. She’s not America’s baby. They’re already delusional no matter what Nori may look like or do it will be genius, artistic, classy, the best, #1 by extension bc he can’t handle anything less than that bc its a reflection on him. When she’s naughty and draws on the walls, “frame it, she’s the next Picasso!”. When she starts messing with their iPhones and taking pics “Annie best watch out!”. When she has a tantrum bc she wants something “why doesn’t she have it yet?!”. I fear mostly that she’ll have no boundaries bc they don’t realize children need to be trained into independence and adulthood. But if try did, what would they even have to contribute if they don’t have a wake up call?
These two narcissists are the biggest waste of human flesh I have seen in a long time…they offer absolutely nothing to society except a complete lack of morals, judgment and taste.
