<p style="text-align: left;">“We Were Once a Fairytale”, the bizarre short film starring Kanye West which was directed by “Flashing Lights” director, <em>Spike Jonze</em> has finally hit the net. The flick hit itunes back in September but you can finally see it in it&#8217;s entirety for free (while it lasts).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Synopsis: <em>Kanye plays a drunk, belligerent and boastful version of himself at a club, where he keeps informing fellow clubgoers that the song playing over the speakers is his. He then wanders into an adjacent room, starts having sex with a woman and passes out on her, only to come to in a VIP room where he is getting amorous with a pillow. He’s so disturbed by the scene that he runs to the bathroom and vomits rose petals, cuts his belly open with a bowie knife, which produces more rose petals, and then rips out a little furry demon that is living in his guts, who then is handed his own miniature bowie knife so he can commit suicide.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Full video below: <a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/10/20/video-kanye-west-in-we-were-once-a-fairy-tale-short-film-by-spike-jonze/#more-19013" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Remember that episode of Entourage where Turtle had to don a pink furry bunny suit to bag a hot chick? Well I&#8217;m sure you know that there are actually people out there who get off on that type of thing. These people have what&#8217;s called &#8220;Furry Fetishes&#8221; where they have an attraction to animals with human like features or tendencies such as mascots, while others with the fetish prefer inanimate furry objects like teddy bears, dolls and/or manequins. Although I feel like I&#8217;ve seen it all online and off, few things still shock me but this was one of em. I saw a pic of a Teddy Bear sex toy that had me literally saying &#8220;WHAT THA&#8230;?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now&#8230;I already know some of you freaks are gonna blow up my email asking how to purchase it, but before you even waste your keystrokes&#8230; I DON&#8217;T KNOW!   What I do know is&#8230;there&#8217;s a sex toy for everyone. Even you Kanye!  Peep the craziness below: <a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/10/16/for-all-of-you-furry-fetish-freaks/#more-18891" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

Recent rumors have Kanye West hitting rehab soon for alcohol addition but he was spotted minus the Hennessey bottle Saturday night as he took the stage for his first performance since the <a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/09/13/vmas-2009-kanye-steals-spotlight-mic-from-taylor-swift/" target="_blank">VMA debacle with Taylor Swith</a>.  Mr. West graced the stage during the Common &amp; Friends Benefit Concert at the Hollywood Palladium Saturday night (9 /26) and ran through “Good Life,” “Run This Town,” “Flashing Lights,” “Make Her Say,” and “Get ’Em High” with Common, Mos Def and Talib Kweli.</p>

<p>Kanye&#8217;s significant other, Amber Rose has been photographed in Elle Magazine&#8217;s October Issue. Amber has come quite a ways while dating Mr. West. Talk about upgrading&#8230;. Anyway, weeks before his<a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/09/13/vmas-2009-kanye-steals-spotlight-mic-from-taylor-swift/" target="_blank"> MTV fiasco with Taylor Swift</a>, Kanye opted to play stylist to his in-house play thing. The result is a spread featuring Amber spread eagled, in crotch and ass-baring poses wearing booty shorts and thongs.</p>
<p>Amber explains in the mag that she&#8217;s &#8220;not like his Barbie&#8221; and cites their clash over what she should wear to the 125th Anniversary Gala of the Met back in March as evidence. Kanye wanted her to wear a gown to the formal event but Amber opted for a white cocktail dress with a thigh-high slit. Whatever the case, this crazy relationship is obviously benefiting them both right now. Kanye has someone who can wear the clothes he always wanted to wear and Amber&#8217;s got a key to fame.</p>

<p>Seems Kanye&#8217;s lil stunt has made it all the way to the white house! During a CNBC interview on Monday, President Obama called hip-hop artist Kanye West a &#8220;jackass&#8221; regarding his behavior during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

<p>Sad thing is, Obama&#8217;s remark was actually made in an off-the-record portion of the interview that was tweeted &#8230;then deleted by ABC News reporter Terry Moran. Sadly for him, the results of his twitter stream are still searchable on the site: <a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/09/14/barack-obama-kanye-west-is-a-jackass/#more-17928" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

<p>Kanye West hit up Jay Leno and offered yet another apology for the stunt he pulled on Taylor Swift during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (<a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/09/13/vmas-2009-kanye-steals-spotlight-mic-from-taylor-swift/" target="_blank">Click Here</a> to watch). I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;m feeling a bit of Kanye overload right now. But since I&#8217;m all for the people, I thought I&#8217;d share this transcript and video of Kanye&#8217;s 3rd apology on Jay Leno. (<a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/09/14/kanyes-apology-to-taylor-swift/" target="_blank">Apology #1</a>, <a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/09/14/2009-mtv-vmas-more-apologies/" target="_blank">Apology #2</a>)</p>
<blockquote><p>JAY LENO: Have a seat, my friend. First of all, let me say thank you for honoring this commitment. A lot of times, people — They kind of back out at the last minute, or they have a publicist or someone call and say, “Oh, I’m sorry, my client’s not available.” So thank you for coming and doing this, in light of all the things that have been going on.<br />
Tell me about your day. Have you had a tough day today?</p>
<p>KANYE WEST: Yeah, it’s been extremely difficult. I just — just dealing with the fact that I hurt someone or took anything away, you know, from a talented artist or from anyone, because I only wanted to help people. My entire life, I’ve only wanted to give and do something that I felt was right. And I immediately knew in the situation that it was wrong, and it wasn’t a spectacle or just — you know, it’s actually someone’s emotions, you know, that I stepped on. And it was very — it was just — it was rude, period. And, you know, I’d like to be able to apologize to her in person. And I wanted to –</p>
<p>JAY LENO: So when did you know you were wrong? Was it afterwards? as you were doing it? When did it strike you, “Uh-oh”?</p></blockquote>

<p>Lil Mama has sent out an apology via her PR peeps for her actions last night.  In case you missed it, Rapper Lil Mama decided to grace the stage during the <a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/09/14/grand-opening-grand-closing-janet-v-jay-z-2009-mtv-vmas/" target="_blank">2009 MTV Video Music Awards closing performance</a>, in which Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed their first-ever collaboration, &#8220;Empire State of Mind.&#8221; The <em>America&#8217;s Best Dance Crew</em> judge hopped out of her seat and onto the stage during the song&#8217;s final seconds and pranced around onstage as if she was the headlining act. Word is, Jay attempted to avoid embarrassing her by tapping her on her leg, but apparently she didn&#8217;t get the hint. In her statement, Lil Mama says she was merely caught up in the moment:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I did not mean any disrespect towards Jay-Z or Alicia Keys,&#8221; the statement read. &#8220;I admire them and look up to them as role models. &#8216;Empire State of Mind&#8217; had my emotions running high. In that moment I came up onstage to celebrate my two icons singing about NY.&#8221; (<a href="http://www.vibe.com/mt/2009/09/lil-mama-apologizes-for-crashing-jay-zs-vmas-performance/" target="_blank">source</a>)</p></blockquote>
<p>Kanye West also issued another apology to Taylor Swift <a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/09/13/vmas-2009-kanye-steals-spotlight-mic-from-taylor-swift/" target="_blank">for stealing her joy</a> during the awards show as well.  Now, I&#8217;m still standing by my original assessment that this is all a hoax wonderfully crafted by MTV writers, but viewers are angered so much by Kanye seemingly disrespecting a lil country singer, that they&#8217;re gonna keep this going for a while. This is ratings gold!! Why not keep up the drama?? Anyway, Kanye hit up <a href="http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/?em3106=239462_-1__0_~0_-1_9_2009_0_0&amp;em3298=&amp;em3282=&amp;em3281=&amp;em3161=&amp;entry=239462" target="_blank">his blog</a> yet again to issue a 2nd apology. The new statement says: <a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/09/14/2009-mtv-vmas-more-apologies/#more-17912" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>
