Kanye West Archives

Lady Gaga has been ranked No. 7 on the Forbes list of World's Most Powerful Women. The pop star joins Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Angela Merkel and Beyoncé Knowles in the Top 10. Last night in London, Kanye West premiered his new short film Runaway, which features most of the music from his fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Family. West introduced the clip — which is not currently available online — by saying it was inspired Michael Jackson's Thriller video, Prince's Purple Rain and Pink Floyd's The Wall movie. Watch Die Antwoord's very NSFW music video for "Evil Boy." Solange Knowles took to Twitter last night to offer hilarious jabs at Katy Perry's "California Gurls" video and her controversy with Sesame Street. "It is like kiddie porn tho. All them damn colors, candy and shit...and then daisy dukes, breast shooting cream," she wrote. Want to be immortalized in song?
