Here's the scene from last night.  He played on a floating stage above the crowd.  Not to worry, he was tethered to the stage.

Late Sunday night Kanye hopped on Twitter and started thanking people for downloading Tidal, as it hit No. 1 in the app store.  He continued with a bizarre series of Tweets through Sunday night and into Monday morning- “Mark Zuckerberg I know it’s your bday but can you please call me by 2mrw … You love hip hop, you love my art… I am your favorite artist but you watch me barely breathe and still play my album in your house ... He continued about how he was rehearsing his speech for the Grammys, which he said he wouldn’t attend “unless they promise him the Album of the Year.” This quickly turned into how he knows people are “tired of music controlled by money and perception,” and eventually he started addressing Mark Zuckerberg, the head and creator of Facebook..... West says tech entrepreneurs  listen to hip-hop, but are more interested in opening schools in Africa than helping celebrity rappers Rapper and fashion designer Kanye West, who says he is $53 million...

North West's family spared no expense giving her a birthday party fit for a princess. Although North turned 1 in NYC on Father's Day, the family decided to celebrate with their friends and loved ones in LA this weekend.  The party took place in the backyard of Kourtney and Scott Disick’s new home in Calabasas. Named Kidchella after Coachella, the popular music festival Kendall and Kylie Jenner attended earlier this year, the party was complete with a Ferris wheel, bouncy house, and mini performance stage. With all the attractions, the Saturday afternoon affair gave the social-media-friendly family several photo ops. North’s birthday was officially on June 15, but with the big day falling on Father’s Day, the family kept the celebration in New York laid-back. Teepees, food carts and a bounce house are seen on the massive lawn in another picture from Kris captioned, “View from the Ferris wheel!” Kris Jenner posted a video in which daughters Kenda...

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Wedding Location:  Inside the Stunning French Château! It's no secret that  Kim Kardashian  and  Kanye West 's wedding will be an affair like no other. The two are currently in Paris putting the finishing touches on their big day and have stayed fairly mum about what we can expect. But what we  do  know is that Kimye were visiting the Château Louis XIV over the weekend, a castle located just outside of the City of Light. The stunning manse is a reconstruction of a classic 17th century palace, built from scratch between 2008 and 2011. It is located in Louveciennes, in the Yvelines department just west of the French capital, and features many odes to the Palace of Versailles such as a reproduction of the Chariot of Apollo fountain sculpture and the grounds' impressive gardens. The château also has a number of decorative embellishments featured throughout the interior that are inspired from specifi...

Is it a bravura business decision, or will it lead to an exodus of appalled readers?   Vogue  editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is not apologizing for putting Kim and Kanye on the cover. Usually it takes a major scandal to shake consumer confidence in a brand. But in the case of  Vogue  magazine it appears that all it took was putting Kim Kardashian on its cover. The reality show starlet graces the April issue in a wedding gown alongside her fiancé Kanye West. The backlash has been swift and brutal. Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar led the charge with a tweet that read “Well……I guess I’m canceling my  Vogue  subscription. Who is with me???” Apparently many are with her. Gellar’s call for a boycott had been re-tweeted over 8,000 times and favored by more than 11,000 people. But the outrage seems limited to twitter.  Vogue ’s   Facebook  page has been inundated with hundreds of angry messages. Similar comments coul...
