Kanye West Selling Cheap, Fast Fashion — Jackets, Slides, Dresses — for $20, $40, $100 — On Website

Kanye West is trying to make a comeback.

An avowed follower of Hitler, and an antisemite, yesterday Kanye posted a video in which he met with a “rabbi” to seek absolution. The “rabbi” is an ex con and a cult leader in Kabbalah.

Kanye’s bitcoin is still for sale, having lost most of its value after day 1. This week the coin reached a low point, down from its initial $1 billion valuation to around $384K — if anyone wanted it. So far, only Kanye and some insiders have made money from it.

He’s also getting back into fashion. On his Yeezy.com website, West is offering very cheap fast fashion made of nylon and so on. EVerything is “faux.” Prices range from $20 to $100 for dresses, slippers, sweatshirts, and jackets. Where it’s being made is probably China, or Mars where Elon Musk has a factory.

“Ugly” is a given, although it’s hard to tell on the website. ‘Small’ is also important. Nothing comes in extra large, and there’s no way of knowing how big ‘large’ is.

In unsurprising news, Kanye also received no Grammy nominations today. He will never actually receive any again, although hope springs eternal for his social media followers. Even with the “rabbi” helping, no Grammys are on the way.

Why anyone would buy this stuff when you could do better quality and price wise at Uniqlo or H&M, I do not know.

Grammys Biggest Snub: Nothing for The Weeknd, Who Was Finally Persuaded to Enter, Got Zip for “Hurry Up, Tomorrow”

Grammys Biggest Snub: Nothing for The Weeknd, Who Was Finally Persuaded to Enter, Got Zip for “Hurry Up, Tomorrow”

The Grammys really had a big snub this year.

No nominations for The Weeknd.

The RB and pop star was persuaded by Recording Academy chief Harvey Mason to enter his album, “Hurry Up Tomorrow” and its tracks.

There had been a long cold war period between The Weeknd and the Grammys. But Mason ironed it all out and brought him back.

The nominating committees responded by giving the album and songs absolutely nothing.

I guess this underscores the relationship between the Academy and the nominators is hands off.

But still, it’s embarrassing.

What is a Weeknd, as Maggie Smith might say?

Meantime, there will be a lot of questions about Billie Eilish’s many noms for the song, “Wildflower.” It was included in her 2024 album, “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” and has no business being in the 2026 group.

Grammy Nominations for Laufey, Barbra Streisand (48th Nom), Elton & Brandi, JHud, But No Ringo Starr in Traditional Pop (Full List)

Ringo Starr got no Grammy nominations for his knock out country album, Look Up.

He should have been in Traditional Pop.

But the category does include a newer star and some solid veterans.

HERE’S THE FULL GRAMMY LIST LINK

Laufey was nominated for “A Matter of Time.”

Barbra Streisand for “The Secret of Life: Partners 2”

Elton John Brandi Carlile for “Who Believes in Angels?”

Jennifer Hudson for “The Gift of Love”

Lady Gaga for “Harlequin”

Laila Biali for “Wintersongs

This category is given in the afternoon ceremony before the Grammys. Laufey or Biali (who I’ve never heard of) might show up. They are all deserving.

Who was snubbed? Everyone else!

Tom Hanks Off Broadway Play Starts to Sell Out as Prices Are Slashed 57% to Normal Numbers: Now You Can Be Taken to The Shed

Tom Hanks Off Broadway Play Starts to Sell Out as Prices Are Slashed 57% to Normal Numbers: Now You Can Be Taken to The Shed

I told you a couple of times this season, tickets to Tom Hanks’s off Broadway play were not selling.

Two time Oscar winner Hanks has co-written a play he also stars in called “This World of Tomorrow.”

It’s about a man who time travels from around 2080 back to the 1939 World’s Fair in Queens to find the love of his life.

People who’ve seen it call it “slight but charming” but the cast is pretty amazing. Including Hanks there’s Kelli O’Hara, Jay O. Sanders, Donald Webber Jr., and Ruben Santiago Hudson, among others.

For weeks leading up to performances that began on October 30th, tickets were priced at a whopping $399. Nothing was moving. You could buy seats on any night.

There was an initial price drop to $299 per ticket which helped a little but not much.

Now suddenly shows are selling out — and there’s a good reason. You can now get in for as little as $169. The high price seems be about $259, with some going for $239. There may be still be a ticket for those under 30 years old at $45.

Now when you go to The Shed, you won’t be taken to The Shed. Or the cleaners!

Is the huge drop in pricing because our new mayor is demanding “affordability”?

No, I think it’s because Tom, the nicest guy in the world, finally realized his fans were being fleeced. The Shed was charging prices from 2080 with advanced inflation.

So what about going back in time to 1939? Would you do it? We talked about this with Woody Allen recently since his movie, “Midnight in Paris,” is the same idea. You can watch the interview here.

As Woody notes (see below), there are no vaccines for common illnesses. Also, no dry cleaning or air conditioning. (There are also no sugar free products.) Going to Queens on the number 7 train for the World’s Fair was a sweaty affair. Tom Hanks loves manual typewriters, though. Woody’s been using the same one for 74 years. Maybe Tom’s character finds it in the play!

“Lizzie McGuire” Star Hilary Duff, 38, Mother of 4, Sings About Graphic Sex Act in Comeback Single

“Lizzie McGuire” Star Hilary Duff, 38, Mother of 4, Sings About Graphic Sex Act in Comeback Single

Hilary Duff is back.

The one time star of “Lizzie McGuire,” a Disney TV show that ran for two seasons 25 years ago, and “Younger,” with Sutton Foster, was never a big pop star. She hasn’t made a record in well over a decade. She was not a great singer and absolutely not a musician.

Duff is 38 years old and the mother of four very young children.

So what does she do? On her comeback single, “Mature,” she sings graphically about cunnilingus because…why not? She has to get someone’s attention!

Going down on her on your vintage rug
Bet she’s so impressed by your Basquiat
And she thinks you’re deep in the ways you’re not
Now, now

This is a nice bedtime chant for those kiddies.

“Mature” is immature. It’s coarse and vulgar. It exposes Duff for what she is — a twit.

Will this sell records? I mean, maybe. Maybe millions of girls will be singing along to this crap. But it lowers the conversation to zero. It’s not witty or clever. It’s just garbage.

I don’t know why Hilary Duff is back as a pop singer. It made no sense when it was announced, even less so now.

Stranger Things Have Happened: Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour Couldn’t Be Friendly at Red Carpet Premiere: Daily Mail Wrong?

Stranger Things Have Happened: Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour Couldn’t Be Friendly at Red Carpet Premiere: Daily Mail Wrong?

Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour are definitely accomplished actors. They can sell anything.

Their turn on the red carpet tonight at the premiere of “Stranger Things” was either genuine or completely concocted. To me, it looks real.

The two actors greeted each other so warmly that you had to wonder about all the press generated by the Daily Mail last week.

The British tabloid really looks bad now. They said that Brown, 21, filed a harassment complaint against Harbour at the start of shooting Season 5. It seemed their friendship was irreparably damaged.

I saw more stories today claiming Harbour was excluded from the show’s publicity tour.

But as I wrote earlier today, that isn’t true. He’s appearing on a panel Q and A on Saturday with Brown. If she really hated him, none of this would be possible — or advisable.

The Daily Mail wrong? LOL. Never!

Kennedy Center Couldn’t Get Anyone to Put On Their Promised “Birth of Christ” Pageant After All — Just the Usual Holiday Entertainment

Kennedy Center Couldn’t Get Anyone to Put On Their Promised “Birth of Christ” Pageant After All — Just the Usual Holiday Entertainment

This is a funny complaint because personally, I don’t care.

Do you?

After taking over the Kennedy Center last winter, Donald Trump sent lackey Richard Grenell out to do press.

In the New York Times, Grenell promised big things. Among them, a pageant about the birth of Christ for the holiday season.

Grenell said at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Oxon Hill, Maryland: “How crazy is it to think that we’re going to celebrate Christ at Christmas with a big traditional production, to celebrate what we are all celebrating in the world during Christmastime, which is the birth of Christ?”

That was 9 months ago. Children have been conceived and born in that time, but no Christ pageant.

Holiday fare at the Kennedy Center will be the same as usual, like a choir singing Handel’s “Messiah.”

There’s also the traditional Christmas musical, Monty Python’s “Spamalot,” which plays all through the season.

But apparently Grenell couldn’t find anyone to do the Christ celebration. There were no takers, either making it or buying tickets to it.

In fact, as the Washington Post recently reported, ticket sales are way off at the Kennedy Center. Between the government shut down and the fact that MAGA is not really interested in cultural activities, the Kennedy Center has been hobbled by Trump and Grenell.

Katy Perry Tries Again for a Hit Single with “Bandaids,” Maybe About Orlando Bloom Split, Her Best Shot in Years (Watch/Listen)

Katy Perry may finally be back on track.

Her new single, “Bandaids,” sounds like a hit.

Katy’s had a lot of trouble finding a groove in recent years after a string of hits like “Firework” and “Roar.”

“Bandaids” is definitely a huge improvement over the last couple of releases.

Is it about her split with Orlando Bloom? Sure, why not?

The video is a little weird, and I wish the song had a better ending. But this will do for now. But the song stop abruptly. I wish the chorus came back one more time in an interesting way.

Producer of the song is Justin Tranter. She finally dumped Dr. Luke.

“Stranger Things” Final Season Virtual Press Conference Puts David Harbour On Same Panel with Millie Bobby Brown After Harassment Complaint

“Stranger Things” Final Season Virtual Press Conference Puts David Harbour On Same Panel with Millie Bobby Brown After Harassment Complaint

Millie Bobby brown and David Harbour are doing a press conference.

The “Stranger Things” stars will appear together in virtual press conference Saturday to promote the final season.

It’s curious since it was just reported that Brown had filed a formal complaint of harassment against Harbour.

The Saturday morning event features Millie Bobby Brown (“Eleven”), Winona Ryder (“Joyce Byers”), David Harbour (“Jim Hopper”), Noah Schnapp (“Will Byers”), Shawn Levy (Executive Producer) according to Netflix.

This may be a strategy from Netflix to show that relations aren’t strained between the 21 year old actress and the 50 year old actor.

The Daily Mail recently reported that Brown, 21, filed a bullying and harassment complaint against Harbour, 50, before filming on season 5 began.

Netflix keeps sending me a list of spoilers they don’t want me to reveal in advance of the Thanksgiving drop of three new episodes. But I don’t want to know either!

The press conference is now the hottest ticket in town!
