So Kim & Kanye seemed to have given the biggest hint possible as to what they’re having this summer. A pink ballerina twirling in a box to a Kanye West lullaby was their baby shower invite.  We’re going with the major possibility they’re having a girl.  Unless the invite was all about Kim herself instead of the baby….

 

Checkout the invite inside….

TMZ got their hands on the actual baby shower invite sent out by Kim’s mom Kris, her sisters Khloe & Kourtney and her friend Shelli Azoff (wife of uber rich Hollywood manager Irving Azoff).

It’s a box with a pink ballerina (Kanye’s fave image it seems), who looks like Kim (of course), twirling around inside to a lullaby version of ‘Ye’s song "Hey Mama."  Kanye wrote the song for his own mother Donda West back in 2000 and it appeared on his 2005 Late Registration album.

Seeing that they didn’t go with a unisex option, it seems pretty clear the couple’s having a girl.

The shower goes down June 2nd, and Kanye will reportedly make sure he’s in L.A. for it.  And we’re sure it’ll be a media storm of pics that day….

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Kanye Rocks “SNL” With “Black Skinhead” & “New Slaves” (Plus Kanye’s New YEEZUS Album Artwork)

 photo ScreenShot2013-05-19at15532AM_zpscaa3ce5d.png

Mr. West had a lot to scream off his chest Saturday night on ‘SNL". As the musical guest for the fifth time, Kanye debuted a brand new track called "Black Skinhead" and his other new track "New Slaves."

 

Check out both of Kanye’s rock-style performances where he’s bringing his social consciousness to the world, plus his new album artwork for Yeezus….

‘Ye debuted an interesting track called "Black Skinhead" on "SNL".  And through all of the screaming and slight auto-tune, we could tell he was saying some powerful ish.  While images of fire, political slogans, advertisements and more played in the background (one said "Not For Sale"), Kanye was on 100 living the crowd a rock-style performance.

And if you’re thinking that all dude needed was black nails and lipstick and we could have mistaken him for Marilyn Manson for that performance, you’re not too far off.  The music reportedly sampled a Marilyn Manson song.  Check out his performance of "Black Skinhead" above.

By the way, Virgil (Kanye’s right hand) posted the lyrics to the track saying Kanye literally wrote "Black Skinhead" minutes before his performance. Luckily the network let him perform that piece on live TV (y’all know they like to know what they’re getting before something airs live).

 

And here’s his other performance from the night, "New Slaves." This performance comes one day after Kanye showed the visuals for the track guerrilla style in 66 cities around the world….projected against buildings. 

 

Your thoughts? Scary genius…or just scary?

 

According to his girlfriend Kim Kardashian’s latest Instagram pic, the Chi-Town native’s upcoming album is called Yeezus (of course) and will be released June 18th.  Kim posted the album artwork below saying, "#Yeezus #RedYeezy’s #SNL #Tonight #NewSlaves #YeezySeason #Donda #June18"

VIDEOS: Kanye Debuts “New Slaves” Guerrilla Style On the Streets Of 10 Cities + J.Lo’s New “Live It Up” Video

 photo ScreenShot2013-05-18at95327AM_zpsd51b7f15.png

The night before he’s set to take the stage at the season finale of "SNL," Kanye West debuted a new song and video–guerrilla style–in 10 cities across the globe.  Check out his conscious rap "New Slaves" and how he delivered it, plus Jennifer Lopez‘s new video for "Live It Up"…

Kanye sent out a tweet yesterday announcing his new video saying:

“NEW SONG AND VISUAL FROM MY NEW ALBUM BEING PROJECTED TONIGHT ACROSS THE GLOBE ON 66 BUILDINGS, LOCATIONS @ KANYEWEST.COM."

And over at his website, he provided a map of all the places in every city that the song and visual would be projected.  So in the U.S., Europe and Australia, Kanye debuted "New Slaves" for the world.

Why did he choose this way and no official Youtube release?  Well, we picked out a few lyrics from his rap (that we’re loving by the way) that may explain.  Yeezy is on a f*ck the corporations tip.  And he’s doing things his way.  This means that instead of being a "slave" to corporations like Youtube or advertisers or his label, he’s simply showcasing his music where, when and how he wants to.  And this time, he projected it on buildings….likely with no permits or anything. Gotta love the rawness.

Here’s a few lyrics where he discusses new age racism and new age slavery.  With seemingly complete opposite beliefs than his girlfriend, Kanye is speaking against people being slaves to businesses, corporations, publicity, societal pressures and their own minds:

"My mama was raised in the era when, clean water was only served to the fairer skin."

"Used to only be n*ggas, now everybody playing.  Spending everything on Alexander Wang, new slaves."

"There’s leaders, there’s followers.  I’d rather be a d*ck than a swallower."

"I move my family out the country so y’all can’t see where I stay."

"They tryna to lock n*ggas up, The tryna to make new slaves, That’s that provate pwned prison, get your piece today.  They probably all in the Hamptons all bragging about what they made, f*ck you and your Hampton house, I f*cked your Hampton spouse."

Toward the end of the song he breaks out singing.  And after the verse, the video plays with his face on the screen for another minute, likely for a powerful effect.  Check out a capture from one of the NYC locations below:

Reportedly, his newest project (a follow up album to My Dark & Twisted Fantasy), will drop June 18th.

 

In other videos, the sexy Jennifer Lopez released her "Live It Up" video ft. Pitbull.  She shot it on Miami Beach this month and model Eva Marcille also makes an appearance.  Check out the sexy summer-ready visuals below: 

The RedOne-produced dance track "Live It Up" will appear on her yet-to-be-titled album dropping later this year.

ALMOST HEALED: Kanye West Takes His “HEAD BUMP” On A STROLL Through NYC

 photo bumk1.jpg

Kanye West was seen walking down the street, shielding his face from the cold in New York City yesterday.  Find out what his baby momma Kim Kardashian had to say about him lashing out at the photographers inside…

Kanye West was seen fighting the chilly weather in New York City earlier today.  While he shielded his cheeks from the weather, we noticed that the bump on his head (from that fateful run-in with the pole) seems to be healing.  

 photo sumk3.jpg 

And when it comes to fighting with the paparazzi, Kanye’s recent actions were defended by his baby momma Kim Kardashian. TMZ reports that Kim has been telling friends that she’s happy Kanye went off on the photographer. Kim feels that photographers have become more aggressive since she’s been pregnant.  It definitely seems like Kim wants a man willing to defend her.

QUIET FOR THE HOUSE HUNTERS! Kanye & Kim Search For A New Lover’s Pad In Beverly Hills (PLUS Kanye GOES OFF On Paparazzo After Walking Into A Steel Pole!)

  photo brai2_zpsc078b6f7.jpg

Fresh off their much talked about appearance at the 2013 MET Ball in NYC, Kanye West and his woman Kim Kardashian jetted to L.A. so Kanye could film his cameo for the upcoming Anchorman 2 movie….and so they could look for a new home in Beverly Hills.

 

Pics of the house hunters inside….

When Anna Wintour (and/or her people) had Kim K.’s floral tragedy from the MET Ball cropped out of a pic with Kanye that they posted on VOGUE’s website today, it was the shade felt around the world.

But it looks like Kim isn’t fazed by it as she and her man Kanye are on the search for another mansion to make their love shack.  The twosome were spotted out in Beverly Hills today on the hunt.  And we have no idea why Kanye was Shhh’ing folks:

 photo brai1_zps667cad97.jpg  photo brai3_zps262790e5.jpg

The first home they bought together, in Bel Air, several months ago, they ended up selling two months after for a quick profit.  Apparently, they want something bigger and better than 10,000 square feet for $ 11 million. 

Must be nice…

*UPDATE*  When Kanye & Kim were walking on the street, Kanye was so busy trying to duck his head to doge the paparazzi cameras, that he walked smack dab into a sign with a steel bar.  After holding his head and Kim running to cradle him, Kanye popped off on a pap about folling him with cameras.  TMZ has the video.

How embarrasing…

MET BALL MESS UP: Kanye & Kim K. Facing Crazy Criticsm Over Kim’s Last Minute Givenchy Alterations…And That Dress

  photo florm1_zps95785f26.jpg

This may be Kim‘s first…and last visit to the Met Ball.  Anna Wintour shunned her for years, and finally after gaining admission with boyfriend Kanye West who’s performing, fashion critics are going in on her Givenchy alterations and the entire look.  But is it that much of a disaster?

 

Check out Kim’s floral frock that has everyone praying the fashion gods will come and lay blessings on her inside….

You luck up on an invite to the 2013 Met Ball and you tap Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy to custom design your gown.  And this is what you and up with.

The all over floral print floor length gown complete with a train, a turtle neck and long sleeves is enough to make your eyes squint for relief, but it’s the fashion critics who are going in extra hard on social media about Kim K.’s look tonight.

While this is officially called the Costume Institute Gala and risque looks are more than welcomed, Kim’s look at MoMA tonight may have just set some people off.

 photo 262576_746429203459_78106427_n_zpsc1b8d487.jpg

Life & Style reports that the dress has gone through 5 alteration overhauls due to Kim’s growing body.  And since she’s pregnant, this is to be expected.  But reportedly, according to the tabloid, Kanye is pissed that Kim’s new stylist allegedly demanded…very last minute…to add sleeves to the dress because the stylist didn’t want Kim’s arms exposed.

"She had the Givenchy severely altered at the last minute on orders of her new stylist," a fashion insider tells Life & Style.

"She’s gained a lot of weight in her arms and her stylist has told her she should not show them off," the insider says. "So her dress now has sleeves when it was sleeveless before."

Continues the source, "Kanye is annoyed, as the dress is by his best friend Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy, and he feels embarrassed that Kim is messing with a beautiful piece of art."

A pregnant woman’s body is always beautiful.  But should Kim have chosen a different dress to flatter her new bod?  You decide….

FRESH OFF THE BABYMOON: Kanye West & Kim K.’s Dinner Date In NYC

 photo spl537860_018_zps5dc633c2.jpg

Kanye‘s back with his baby moms…in the same city. After jetsetting to Greece with her family as the E! cameras rolled, then skipping over to London for the Mrs. Carter Tour show, Kim K. met up with her man Kanye West in NYC on Sunday.

 

Pics of their dinner date inside….

Kanye threw on his fave leather pants and fringed boots to go to dinner at a friend’s apartment in New York with his girlfriend Kim, who rocked a satin finished pencil dress accented with a flower on the bust and white pumps.  And reports state that "friend" is none other than fashion’s HBIC Anna Wintour

Hopefully Kimmy impressed Anna because Monday night’s the Met Ball, and we all know Anna is pissy Kim will be there as Kanye’s date this year.

That baby bump is in full force as Kim’s reportedly in her 7th month.  On another note, that cell phone looks like it’s about to press ALL the way through the pocket of those pants they’re so damn tight.

Anywho, the hand holding couple look happy as pie.  So looks like all is well in their world..
