BERLIN - FEBRUARY 26:  British singer and song...

British indie darling Florence Welsh of Florence and the Machine nearly burned down her hotel after a night on the town with Kanye West in New York City. The two along with Lykke Li had been drinking downtown, Florence reports that she had around 17 dirty martinis, when she returned to her room and passed out.  Upon awakening, she noticed she had chipped a tooth and the wall of the Bowery Hotel where she was staying was charred to a crisp.  Her book had caught fire from a tea candle, there was a bucket of water on the floor and the drink bill for Welsh, Yeezy, Lykke and apparently the entire bar was enough to make the fire seem meager.  Shake it out Florence!

Australia, Big Day Out, kanye west

The audio’s not great but you can feel the heat coming off Kanye as he amps up this crowd at the Big Day Out Festival in Australia and the visuals are amazing. There seems to be more energy, if that’s even possible, since the end of The Throne tour, and a certain James Brown-ness in his ah-hahs. It must be good to be King.

    Following Kanye’s recent infatuation with Kim Kardashian after The Throne concert in Los Angeles where an impartial observer commented that Kanye wanted to eat her up like a chicken wing, Amber Rose has weighed in on the rumors insinuating that the reason she and Kanye broke up was because of Kim’s furious sexting, and of course rampant infidelity between Kim and Kanye.

  • Kanye West took to Twitter to clarify that the name of his recently panned clothing line is Kanye West and not Dw, or Donda West, as was previously reported.  The Dw inscribed on the invitation was merely a homage to his late mother.
