Is Kim Kardashian ruining Kanye Wests career?

Kanye West used to have as much music biz clout as Jay-Z, but that was before Kim Kardashian. The New York Daily News quotes unnamed sources who say that his popularity is waning and he has become tainted with too many appearances on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, pictures in the celebrity weeklies, and a girlfriend unwelcome in the world of high fashion.

Part of the audience reportedly walked out on Wests performance during the 12-12-12 benefit concert, and his upcoming show in Atlantic City, N.J., is anything but sold out.

It makes sense because whenever he does something intelligent, we cant help but be reminded, Oh, wait, but hes dating a Kardashian. What does he know?

Maybe Kim thought dating the super-respected hip-hop star was going to elevate her stature, but it seems the black hole that is all things Kardashian has merely swallowed up West and a few moons of Saturn.

Father of the year goes to Edward Furlong and his six-year-old son's cocaine intake

Perennially troubled actor Edward Furlong was in court again Friday, arguing that he should be allowed to be alone with his son. According to TMZ, court papers show that his ex accused him of exposing his kid to cocaine literally and that the drug was found in his 6-year-old sons system. Furlong wanted to change the custody deal back to his favor, but the judge said no way, and even went as far as to tell the actor that he looked like crap.
