Outsiders can't tell Kanye West anything about how to react to Kim Kardashian's hotly debated look from the 2021 Met Gala. On Wednesday, Sept. 15, the 44-year-old rapper shared a couple of pics to Instagram showing his estranged wife wearing her face-obscuring outfit at the major fashion event, which took place on Monday, Sept. 13. As a man of few words, he simply captioned the post with a goat emoji. Among those offering their thoughts in the comments section was reality TV personality Fonzworth Bentley, who wrote, "'Look at what my kim did' - @kanyewest." It's notable that Kanye is only following 52 Instagram accounts, including Fonzworth's page. One account he's...

Jackson and other famous folks attended will now start accepting transgender men onto its campus ... but there's a catch that excludes other trans students. Atlanta's Morehouse College announced this weekend that it would begin admitting transgender students who identify as male starting in the fall semester of 2020. The move comes as part of its new Gender Identity Admissions and Matriculation Policy.

The symbiotic relationship between celebrities and their personal assistants and employees is a storied one—and often, said stories involve personal errands, late-night phone calls, and a whole lot of crying while driving in the Valley during rush hour (for the assistants, mostly).
For Waka Flocka Flame, having hired help means never having to roll his own blunts again.
Throw away your master’s degrees, because the rapper decided to use Instagram to advertise a job as his personal blunt roller, with an annual salary of $50,000. The application for said job is to use a simple hashtag: #ICanRoll.

David Guetta has never failed at delivering scorching summer dance tunes, and his Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj-assisted new single “Where Them Girls At” is no exception to that rule. In the visual for the buzzing track, which dropped Monday night, Guetta adds a twist to his typical video fashion. Instead of simply recruiting the song’s featured guests and a string of hot nobodies, the French DJ/producer takes things up a notch by creating mysterious life-size bubbles that force city strollers to perform some rather convulsive dances.
In no attempt to take away from the quality of this killer summer smash, we here in the MTV Newsroom have to admit that the moves offered in Guetta’s latest serving are kind of weird (and maybe even scary). In light of the dance floor mastermind’s latest clip, let’s take a look at some...

Rap mogul P. Diddy's one-time butler and manservant Fonzworth Bentley is to wed after proposing marriage to actress Faune Chambers. Bentley, who is now a musician who regularly collaborates with the members of Outkast, has revealed he popped the question at the end of 2009, but hasn't gone public with the happy news - until now.
Chambers co-starred with Brad Pitt in hit movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". Bentley tells UsMagazine, "She said yes and I was so excited. Afterward, she kept wanting to call and tell her mother and I told her not to - because then we walked into a restaurant where my parents and her parents were waiting. We all had lunch and then I walked them all back to show them where I proposed. The wedding is pretty soon!"

Carter, the former head of the U.K.'s telecom watchdog unit and a one-time minister to Gordon Brown, is moving to Paris next month for his latest role: Chief Marketing, Strategy and Communication Officer. Hmmm, have we ever had a Cmsco before? (Not unless you're a dyslexic fan of disco, methinks.) No matter, what he'll need to do is turn the Franco-American global telecoms company around when he arrives at company headquarters in Paris next month. How will he do it?

Fonzworth Bentley says "knowledge is the new currency" — he wanted to get rebellious and deep on his new song and video "Fireside Chat."
President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his fireside chats to the country in the '30s and '40s; Bentley's "Fireside Chat" talks to the hip-hop community.
"It's kinda heavy for some heads," Bentley said. "Some kids, it's gonna be heavy for them. They don't wanna be reminded they have a responsibility."
Bentley's song stresses education and community responsibility and calls for more substantial hip-hop music. The video shows montages of images ranging from lynchings of young black men, Rosa Parks and Rush Limbaugh up to the protest in the wake of the Sean Bell shooting.

"I feel like a kid in a candy store," Wyclef Jean said, speaking to the press about the idea of remaking such an iconic song, which is getting production help from RedOne and Will.I.Am. "What's bigger than a contribution is that you lend your voice," the Haitian native said earlier in the day to his peers while trying to inspire them during the session, which began around 3 p.m. and lasted well into the night.

Jamie Foxx and Farnsworth Bentley's new reality show, From G's To Gents, is already a big success as far as one desperate contestant is concerned.
The man came to the Oscar winner and Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former personal assistant and asked them to help him find a job after a string of failures.

Bentley explains, "We taught him resumes and how to dress appropriate for the occasion, and he went in to get a job as a server.
"They (company bosses) said that because of the way he presented himself they made him a chef manager.
"That is a big step. This was a particular gentleman who had been fired from every single job because of violence."...
