Kanye West shoots his mouth off
TALKING ABOUT doting husbands, we can’t get over rapper Kanye West, known these days as possible future husband to reality star Kim Kardashian of the quick marriage and quicker divorce fame.
We don’t know what, if anything, the President of the United States and first lady Michelle Obama thinks of West’s rather boorish comment that his wife and he are by far the most influential fashion couple in the US. Yeah, right.
We don’t know what you think about this but we think the comment could not be more cringe-worthy if he tried, especially if you consider why he came to this bizarre conclusion about his wife’s influence.
‘No one is looking at what Barack Obama is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day.’ We should hope not, considering that he is talking about a rather sleazy selfie that the reality star posted recently, putting her plentiful backside on full public view, in a bikini. Tch! Tch! We don’t see the elegant Michelle Obama sinking to the bottom (pun intended) in such a manner. Kardashian’s livelihood requires her to be in the news to make sure TRPs are high but Michelle Obama has more serious thing on her mind than fashion stakes.
And oh, before we forget, Kanye West’s rather pathetic outburst came from Vogue editor Anna Wintour’s stout refusal to put his fiance on the cover of her magazine, while Michelle Obama has made it to the cover twice.
Clever woman, Wintour… What say you?
Brad bans bath soaps
WE KEEP PROMISING ourselves that we will ignore celebrities and their idiosyncrasies when it comes to their beauty regimens and their so-called love for environmental conservation. But this one is too delicious for us not to comment on.
Hollywood’s dishiest star and the signifi- cant other of femme fatale Angelina Jolie, has reportedly eliminated soap from his personal hygiene regimen. Turns out the actor, who is fast approaching 50 and a much-hyped wedding with Jolie, is so scared about the toxins in anti-bacterial soap and of its harmful effect on the environment, that he has nixed the thought of having it amongst his toiletries. Instead, he prefers to keep himself clean with a concoction lemon, water and apple cider vinegar.
Pitt joins a number of other Hollywood oddballs including vampire hunk James Pattinson, who are averse to conventional hygiene regimens. Interestingly, a new fad in the west, known as ‘cleaning reduction’, has followers including Jessica Simpson, who believe it is not necessary to have daily baths as it strips hair and skin of essential natural oils and also adds to the carbon footprint.
To each his own, we say, as long as we don’t have to be in close contact with these folks.
