4mm Games and Terminal Reality, which developed Def Jam Rapstar published by Konami in the UK are co-defendants in the lawsuit brought by EMI over the use of tunes performed by Kanye West, DMX, Lil Wayne, and others. Hollywood Reporter... reports that, "The producers of Def Jam Rapstar, a video game that allows players to pretend they've hit it big as an MC, allegedly failed to complete all the work necessary. The companies behind the game are now being sued for failing to obtain the requisite musical rights on songs featured in the game. "The various subsidiaries of EMI, the music giant that is selling its business to Sony and UMG, filed the lawsuit in New York federal court last week and is alleging substantial damages from the theft of songs performed by Kanye West, DMX, Lil Wayne, and others."

The rapper has bought them Porsche-designed BlackBerrys which cost an eye-watering 1,275 a time. The stainless steel and leather P'9981 handset is available only at Harrods. A source said: "When he was in London recently Kanye decided to treat Jay and Beyonce to the phones and sent a driver to get them from Harrods." Hope he's made it clear what kind of Porsche to expect at their US home. Beyonce may have cleared a space in the garage ... Generous ... Kanye West

Marion Curtis/Startraksphoto.com If you ask Kanye West , it's a beautiful dark twisted phony. There was a lot of buzz this week about the launch of Whodat.biz , a website for new tech firm DONDA, which the rapper, fashion designer and entrepreneur named after his late mother, Donda West. Problem is West had nothing to do with it! MORE: Kanye West's New Design Company: Can He Really Be the Next Steve Jobs? Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player . On its front page, Whodat advertises itself as "Donda Media Presents Whodat.biz, 'The Facebook of Websites,'" whose declared mission is to help internet users find out who's behind their favorite websites with the simple click of a button. It all sounds legit, especially after Kanye announced plans for DONDA back in January during interviews and in an epic series of tweets in which he said he hoped to "pick up where Steve Jobs le...

'Ye pivots from Late Registration to domain registration. (dondamedia.com) Have you ever thought, Domain lookup toolWhois works well as a service, but I wish it had a little more SWAG? Or perhaps, I like Whois, but it just doesnt yell at me in caps lock enough. Luckily Kanye West has you covered, with the launch of his new startup, WhoDat.biz (no its seriously called that though). WhoDat is essentially a domain owner lookup service, exactly like Whois.net a well-known lookup site owned by Verio Inc.but with bigger font and more unnecessary scrolling. You enter in a URL and it also uses the standard whois protocol to pull up the GoDaddy information for that registrant. Its the Facebook of Websites , guys. Mr. West originally announced the creation of Donda Media, the company behind WhoDat, on his Twitter feed back in January. DONDA is a design company which will galvanize amazing thinkers and put them in a creative space to bounce there[sic] dreams and ideas, he tweeted . Unsurpri...

Everyone's chattering about Whodat.biz , the new site claiming to be from Kanye West's insane tech startup Donda. By everybody, I mean The Washington Post and Twitter, which went bezerker over it, and, well, us . But Whodat.biz? Oh come on, now . If this ain't a hoax, I'll eat Kanye's doo-doo. Now, Donda is real. Or at least, Kanye really did talk about it. But the recently launched Donda Media Tumblr, Twitter, and WhoDat website? Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake! (Or at least: Not associated with Kanye's Donda project.) We confirmed with a Donda project representative that the WhoDat site has nothing to do with them. ( Update: So did Buzzfeed .) But was that even necessary? I mean, how could anyone not realize this was a fake ? WhoDat is a self-described "Facebook for Websites" but is basically nothing more than a Whois service that returns website lookup information. That's the new business model? I mean, first of all, nobody is this dumb. Not e...

File this one under "things we never thought would exist." If you recall, Kanye West launched his own startup, Donda Media , to much fanfare earlier this year. Taking to Twitter , the American rapper quickly put forth a call for "architects, graphic designers, directors musicians, producers, AnRs, writers, publicist[s], social media experts, app guys, managers, car designers, clothing designers, DJs, video game designers, publishers, tech guys, lawyers, bankers, nutritionist[s], doctors, scientists [and] teachers" with the intention of creating... something. Well, at least we know what that something finally is. Today, Mr. West unveiled WhoDat.biz , which iswell, it's a WHOIS information service. Billed as "the Facebook of websites," you can use WhoDat to look up information on the peoplethe "crew," if you willbehind a given website's domain. You'll be pleased to hear that, not only is the service free, but it works exactly as you...

With the strong viral buzz built off her 2011 "212" anthem and with her new single "F-ck Up the Fun" making even more noise, rap newcomer Azealia Banks opens up on rubbing elbows with hip-hop elite, in the latest issue of GQ magazine. Based on an excerpt from a recent interview, Banks downplays receiving co-signs amongst the likes of entertainers such as Kanye West and Gwyneth Paltrow . The Harlem-born 20-year-old seems almost aggressively unastonished by the attention. "I definitely have more money [now] and sh*t," she admits, "but that's all virtual stuff. I've been making music for a while. And I could read about myself on the Internet for a while." And meeting the likes of Kanye? "It's cool, but they're just people. The skies don't part and glow orange." As Banks begins recording her first album, is she listening to anyone for inspiration? "Everyone," she says, but mostly "Azealia Banks." ...

Approaching Kanye West's debut womenswear show at Lycee Henry IV on Saturday night, the crowd was far from typical. Street style photographers were crowded out by a small but eager pack of paparazzi, and the outre outfits that flock around the fashion fringe hoping to be let in at the last moment were gone, replaced by teenage hip hop kids hoping for a star sighting. The front row too was unusual, in that it featured a wider range of fashion A-listers than you'd see at almost any other event. There were the designers West has supported over the years, like Azzedine Alaa, Alexander Wang and Jeremy Scott, a pack of editors any designer would be rapt to attract, and, of course, a nebula of celebrities. Another of those designers was Josh Goot, who just as the show music started to swell, slipped discreetly into the venue. The designer's presence at the show was a final confirmation of what has been a very open, but officially unconfirmed, story in the Australian fashion indust...

Odd Future 's rise to stardom has not slowed down as members from the West Coast crew have discussed just how Hollywood they have become since exploding onto the mainstream last year. According to group members Tyler, the Creator and Taco , conversations with hip-hop elite ranging from Lil Wayne to Pharrell Williams are nothing out of the ordinary these days. In the past year, Tyler has formed a bond with musical idol Pharrell Williams, Lil Wayne and Kanye West and even interviewed Nas for an XXL magazine cover story. "It's cool. That sh-- is cool. Awkward, but it's tight. They actually f--- with us," Tyler said of all his new friends. "Lil Wayne is actually a fan, Kanye is actually like a fan. I actually talk to those dudes all the time." Taco said he and Wayne usually talk about skating, and Earl began to recall a phone conversation between him and Weezy before he was made fun of by the rest of the Wolf Gang .

What song did blue haired Katy Perry choose to cover for BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge? A sweet-as-homemade-pie song all about cakes and puppies? Nope. Katy opted for a brow-raising rendition of a Jay Z and Kanye West song called, N***** in Paris. Not wanting to shock her assembled crowd of Katy lovers too much, the California Gurl swapped the original N-word for the word Ninjas instead. So she sang Ninjas in Paris . To get into character for her cover, Katy slipped on a New York Yankees baseball cap and performed with a little extra swagger in her step. The singer was performing at BBC Radio 1 after an apparently eventful night on the town last night. Perry was reportedly enjoying a not-so-quiet night out in London's infamous Mahiki when she heard a rumour that her ex-hubby, Russell Brand , was apparently about to turn up.

Rihanna was then spotted making her way to her hotel, before heading off to JFK airport an hour later to catch a flight.

Ready-to-wear fashion weeks from New York, London, Milan and Paris recently wrapped up, showing the world the upcoming trends for the next season. Among the trend-setting designers were some musicians the world has come to love via their hits and melodies. Now fans have their designs to love. Victoria Beckham is the person I consider to be the original pop-star-turned-designer. Her Posh Spice persona on the super-girl power British pop group the Spice Girls was known for her iconic mini Gucci dress and other high-fashion duds. She had many fashion highs and lows. She wore some on-point looks and, at times, wore ensembles that had the British press shaking their heads in dismay. Her biggest fashion faux pas was having herself and soccer superstar (extremely hot, and I mean extremely hot) husband David Beckham, in matching leather. But hey, shes human, and she makes fashion mistakes like the rest of us. Thats...

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been spending a suspicious amount of time together recently, notes People , peeking from behind its net curtains. Are the pair, perchance, an item? Well, no. Despite the fact that Kim and Kanye had dinner with friends in Chicago on Tuesday, and then met up for a yachting trip in New York on Thursday, a Kardashian source said the pair havent combined to form the most narcissistic couple in the recorded history of mankind: Kim is just friends with [Kanye].
