Kanye West Makes His Return to Paris Fashion Week...

2012-02-08T16:47:00.007-05:00

Last season, Kanye suprised everyone with a pretty well executed line of womenswear for a first time designer.
KANYE’S ENCORE: Kanye West will return to Paris Fashion Week this season with his eponymous collection, his spokesman at the Karla Otto agency said. The singer-turned-designer will show at 9.30 p.m. on March 6 on the sidelines of the official calendar established by the Chambre Syndicale, French fashion’s governing body, but the venue has yet to be confirmed. West’s debut last season drew a star-studded front row, but garnered mixed reviews.

GQ Magazine February 2012 | Michelle Williams

2012-01-18T22:49:00.002-05:00

Michelle Williams. fresh off her Golden Globe win for her role in "My Week With Marilyn" is featured in the February issue of Gentlemen's Quarterly.

When Williams legally emancipated herself from her parents at 15, she didn't do so because of any family schism, but for the independence and the practical advantages—she says she no longer needed a tutor and could work adult hours. When I suggest that it was pretty ambitious and self-contained to think she could handle it, she agrees. "It was just stupid. I didn't know what I was taking on," she says. "I don't think things through very often—I don't project into the future about how a situation will turn out. Even the simplest things, I'm guilty of making really bad decisions a lot of the time. In my work it's a capacity that's served me well, but in my life it can be a problem."

She describes being "a 15-year-old making a house as best as she could. I had an egg crate for a mattress. It's hard to tuck your sheets under an egg crate." It was, she says, "very, very lonely." She also refers to "just being around not-great people"; there were clearly experiences difficult enough that she would prefer to keep the details to herself.

Do you feel angry about anything that happened then?

"Not as much anymore. There's a lot of distance now. Fifteen years of distance. Since I left this time period, living in Los Angeles, I haven't felt like anybody's prey."

Do you think whatever happened was your fault or other people's fault?

"My opinion of that has changed over the years. I don't know—do kids have culpability?"

Ronnie sent me his verse to the song "Go Home" a while back and I immediately fell in love with it. Very honest. Very Melodic.

"...[that] move against you as soon as you don't have the juice within you. I don't think I have it in me to continue. I wanna go home."

NonStop Pop Machines : Rihanna keeps making music so you’ll not stop thinking about her; Drake, because he can’t stop thinking about himself.

Drake’s critics might call his approach overemotional, sad-sack, or wimpy, but his version of masculinity is simple, and can be observed anywhere young men are hitting on people: First you act grave and sensitive; then you convey how weighty and fraught with complexity your life is; then you chin up and demonstrate how stoic and manly you are about it.

PBS Coverage: The Roots' New Album - Undun

2011-11-30T17:57:00.001-05:00

The Legendary Roots is dropping their first concept album entitled "Undun" next Tuesday. It sounds beautiful and very needed. The Roots' gives a better live performance than ANY pop artist can deliver. Make sure you listen to the album.

Listen to the album here...

The Roots have been together for 25 years. How has the band evolved since 1987?

Well, the Roots in terms of Black Thought [Tariq Trotter] being Mick Jagger and me being Keith Richards minus the narcotics, yeah! Tariq and I met and started a group, the Square Roots, in '87. The Roots and the concept that you know it as today really came to life in 1992.

It's kind of funny because you learn something every day. I'll say that one of the strangest lessons as far as our maturity is concerned [was] making the "undun" record, because it's narrative specific and requires very strict concentration. I just knew for a fact that this album was going to be almost impossible. The reason why we haven't done anything of this level [before] is because I just knew it's easier said than done. You have to think it out almost like a screenplay. You've got to write an outline and then you've got to figure out how to divide the storyline from A to Z. One of the most amazing things is that every verse in this record has taken at least eight to 10 rewrites. Tariq was ready to kill somebody after the fifth rewrite of a particular verse! Now imagine having to rewrite something three times for a full song. And we are just talking about one verse. Every verse on this record has at least 10 to 15 rewrites, so that takes a major amount of concentration.

Tragedy | Rihanna's Alcoholism

2011-11-04T08:09:00.005-04:00

Rihanna has cancelled two performances in Sweden and ended up in the hospital earlier in the week due to the flu. Last night, the reason behind the cancellation was extreme fatigue but Rihanna's doctors are more concerned with her lifestyle choices. Doctors worry that excesive drinking, partying, exhausting performances, and extended studio hours may give Rihanna much more than the flu.

An insider from Rhi's camp said in reference to last night,"She was so ill. She could barely stand up. She was pushing herself to do the show, but she couldn't do it in the end. At the Globe Rihanna was close to passing out. It got serious. She couldn't even get up to leave. So she slept in her dressing room until about half an hour after midnight and then they helped her out to the car and back to her hotel."
