This is the “no-duh” poll of the year; Kanye West’s popularity has tanked since dating that chick who will NOT be named. I doubt Yeezy cares, however, watching his metamorphosis over the years makes it very clear that fame will suck every part of who you are and turn you into everything you don’t want to be. When Kanye first burst onto the scene he was a backpack rapper with a conscious who bucked trends. I guess he wasn’t lying when he rapped “It All Falls Down” or rather, “18 years, 18 years, she got one of his kids, got him for 18 years!”

Kim and Kanye reportedly dropped $11 milli on new L.A. digs and, singer Rita Ora moves on to an unlikely ATLien! That and more in today’s What’s Brewing report!

Kim Kardashian used her womb to secure a “still relevant” spot in 2013. Before the New Year began, Kanye West announced he and his “baby mama” have a little jeggings wearer on the way at one of his Atlantic City concerts. Kim later confirmed the news on her blog. Now, there’s word that the woman who has made her livelihood in front of the camera (*wink wink*) will take the Beyonce route and keep her child shielded from the public’s eye. TMZ is on Fetus Watch like a mug and they’re reporting the infant will not be a reality show star.

While most of the Kardashians’ lives are fodder for their hit reality show … sources close to Kim tell us she and Kanye don’t want their baby dragged into the family biz.

We’re told K&K want to keep that part of their lives separate from “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” … so they can “ensure real privacy” for the baby.

Further, we’re told Kim is saying the baby will NEVER be on the family’s show or have its own spin-off — nor will there be a ‘Kim Gives Birth’ TV special … she and Kanye are nixing that idea too.

Kim will still milk her pregnancy on social media and be very public with her fans about her journey because she thinks being pregnant (by one dude while still married to another) “is great and cute.” I feel a baby Kardashian Kollection coming soon as well.

Congrats to the couple. They seem to dig each other. She should probably get divorced from that other dude soon, though.

Do you think Baby West will somehow make it on TV eventually?

Kanye West’s Leather Pants.    Kanye  showed us how fashionable he is,  this year,  by wearing the same damn pants regardless of season or location.  From Paris to Hawaii…leather jeggings were on deck.  The best part was he also dropped several musical gems about his stylish ways…my fave: ‘DON’T TALK TO ME ABOUT STAYYYLE!  I’LL EMBARRASS YOU!!” Oh, Yeezy.

What’s that saying? “If you’re a nice guy, you don’t have to TELL everyone you’re a nice guy?” Well the same goes for the stylish. If you are an icon of style YOU don’t have to be the one to toot your own horn. People will want to emulate you.  You will not have to name drop designers in the hopes that people think you’re sooo in the know (Sidenote: wtf is up with rap these days? Is it a mirror on culture or fugging  Women’s Wear Daily?).   You will be recognized as the ‘style shiznit’.

See, the thing is I get what you’re doing Mr. Karwest.  I really do.  Most style Icons have a “uniform”.  Karl Lagerfeld has: embalming fluid, nipped in dainty waist and fingerless gloves. Andre Leon Talley:  graduation gowns.  Anna Wintour:  ability to snatch your soul with a glance and her bob.  Calvin Klein : young dude arm candy and Botox. Balenciaga’s, Alexander Wang :  sheer tees and leggings like he just stepped out of  ballet barre class.  I GET IT… sucka.

The whole point of  uniform idea is that you are so chock full of brilliant fashion nuggets you don’t want to distract yourself or anyone else with what YOU are wearing. Your ‘uniform’ becomes  your marketing as well, part of your brand.  So, you decided come rain sleet or snow, that YOUR uniform would be leather meggings.  You dress them up and down and wear them all year round (aww that rhymed).  You give the finger to climate.  You endure the tepid pool of ball sweat that you undoubtedly have puddling about your Yeezy sack on a daily basis. All for the love. I feel you.  I still don’t know what that is saying about your design ethic…when you don’t seem to actually be spending time designing.

You Shrug

Sigh, you used to be so much FUN.  Bring that dude back!

Love you Mr. West!
