Kanye West

The Grammys may not be until tomorrow, but Kanye West has got plenty to celebrate right now.

The charges of vandalism, battery and grand theft that were brought against the singer following a 2008 incident with the paparazzi have been dismissed.

West and his manager completed their required 50 hours of community service with the American Red Cross to avoid prosecution.

Jay-Z turned forty last week and he turned it out in style with a huge Scarface-themed party in a rented mansion in the Domincian Republic.

But don't expect any photos because all the guests were required to turn over their cell phones so nothing would get out.

Look out for Kanye at this year's Grammy Awards, because Beyonce and Taylor Swift are up against each other once again. Beyonce may lead the pack with ten nominations, but Swift is right behind her with eight of her own. They each are nominated for Album, Song, and Record of the Year.

But where's Kanye? He was snubbed for all three, but still picked up six nominations.

It's been a big week for Taylor Swift. First she did double duty on SNL as host and musical guest, and then last night she won Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year at the CMAs. Kenny Chesney had been the reigning champ of the latter for four years straight. Go Taylor!

Luckily she has a good sense of humor about her, uh, previous awards show run in.

What's Tom Hanks' favorite song of the year? He was asked just that at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 25th Anniversary show yesterday.

Yup, it's Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," which seems like a sort of unlikely choice, but maybe Forrest, Forrest Gump is hipper than we thought. We do forget that he taught Elvis how to dance.

Just when we thought the Kanye West-Taylor Swift-VMAs drama was dying down, another celebrity has chosen to weigh in.

Why is Kanye West such an idiot? We really can't begin to answer that question, but last night at MTV's Video Music Awards he brought out his antics to a new low.

Honestly we have no words. Kanye West usually does this with us, but it's usually because we're exasperated with his ridiculous behavior, not because he's gotten a corn maze shaved into the side of his head.

We're not sure exactly what he's going for here, but at least he keeps things interesting.

Lady GaGa has claimed she is married to rapper Kanye West and that she would not be a judge on The X Factor because it's wrong to judge music.

The 23-year-old star was recently at the Orange Rock Corps volunteer gig where she told the UK's Mirror: "I'm married to Kanye, I love and admire him so much. As I say, “we're married."

Really?

R&B singer Rihanna will team up with five leading music stars as she works on her "legendary" album, according to reports.

The 20-year-old star had planned to duet with her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, but the plan was shelved after they split following his assault on her.

It is now claimed that Jay-Z, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams and Soulja Boy are set to work with her.
