Kanye West used to date Amber Rose, who later married and then divorced Wiz Khalifa. Now Kanye is married to Kim Kardashian and Khalifa is married to weed. Khalifa made a tweet about his "KK" pot, Kanye misunderstood and dragged Amber Rose into the conversation because who knows why? Amber Rose responded and gave us the best hashtag of 2016 yet: #FingersInTheBootyAssBitch. There was also much talk about pants, are you ready for your memes yet? Good.

Here's your friendly reminder that you shouldn't wear blackface on Halloween (or ever.)
A 5th grade teacher at the Chestnut Grove Elementary School in Alabama apparently didn't get this memo. He dressed up as Kanye West, complete with "Kanye for Prez 2020" sign.
Heath Morrow's wife Shannon posted the photo on Facebook with the caption: "Haha some people thought Heath was really a black man."
She's probably not laughing now.
Although the original post has been deleted, nothing is gone forever once posted on the Internet.
Sadly, instances of blackface appear every year on Halloween. Most notably, actress Julianne Hough went in blackface as "Crazy Eyes" from Orange is The New Black in 2013.

Kanye's got a golden ticket.
The rapper and his wife, Kim Kardashian, made a surprise appearance on the set of American Idol at the show's San Francisco auditions.
West was in town for a Democratic National Committee fundraiser when he stopped by for an impromptu performance.

In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair, Kanye West turned the 'Kanye for President in 2020' light hearted joke that was going around a few weeks ago into something shockingly close to earnestness.
It's a really long-winded diatribe in which he circles around the questions of a possible presidential run, switching topics and lines of thought like a cake-addled pedagogue.
Still, the interview makes it super clear that it's a possibility for Yeezy.
Question: "Are you still thinking of running in 2020?"
Answer: "Oh, definitely."
Here's some of what Kanye had to say:
When I run for president, I'd prefer not to run against someone. I would be like "I want to work with you." As soon as I heard [Ben] Carson speak, I tried for three weeks to get on the phone with him. I was like this is the most brilliant guy. And I think all the people running right now have something that each of the others needs. But the idea of this separation and this gladiator battle takes away from the main focus that the world needs help and the world needs all the people in a position of power or influence to come together.
He talked about when he first mentioned the prospect at last month's Video Music Awards:
And then as soon as I said that, it was like, "Wait a second, we would really be into that, because actually if you think about it, he's extremely thoughtful. Every time he's ever gotten in trouble, he was really jumping in front of a bullet for someone else. He's probably the most honest celebrity that we have." I didn't approach that because I thought it would be fun. It wasn't like, Oh, let's go rent some jet skis in Hawaii. No, the exact opposite. I sit in clubs and I'm like, Wow, I've got five years before I go and run for office and I've got a lot of research to do, I've got a lot of growing up to do. My dad has two masters degrees. My mom has a PhD, she used to work at Operation PUSH. Somehow the more and more creative I get, the closer and closer I get to who I was as a child. When I was a child, I was holding my mom's hand at Operation PUSH. I think it's time.
He discussed whether he would have to give up his design and his music if the American people voted him in office:
think about that. Because it's so therapeutic for me to sit and work for seven days. We work on the collection year-round, every day to the office, we have an amazing team, but then you have that seven days before the show where you just really, really don't sleep. . . . I have to stay creative. The whole point is to have someone [in office] that's creative, that's around amazing creatives. This is my theory: I think the world can be helped through design, so it's very important that I stay around creative, forward thinkers. It's very important that I continue to design, to be in practice of trying to make the best decisions possible. I hate politics. I'm not a politician at all. I care about the truth and I just care about human beings. I just want everyone to win, that's all I can say, and I think we can. . . .
Good luck, Ye.
Kanye West brought his usual flair for drama and surprise to this year's fall New York Fashion Week.
He announced on Monday that he would hold a previously unscheduled showing of his next line, Yeezy Season 2, on Sept. 16.
And now that the Internet has seen that it's beige instead of black, people are beginning to find resemblances.

It's easy to forget that insane people like David Blaine exist sometimes. Then, he uploads a video of him doing insane stuff, freaking out celebrities and you remember that the world has some straight up nonsense going down.
Blaine released a 2013 video of him performing the same trick for Will Smith's entire family, the Breaking Bad team of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul and, in an unexpected pairing, the duo of Kanye West and Woody Harrelson.
It turns into a bonkers stunt, made all the better by the various reactions, none more charming than good ol' Aaron Paul.
Woody had the best line of the video, though. He lost his erection entirely.

With Miley Cyrus hosting the VMAs yesterday, there was no question that this would be one crazy show. But the most shocking moment last night came from Yeezus himself.
After accepting the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, and in classic mic drop fashion, Kanye West informed the world that he plans to run for President in 2020.
"It's about ideas, bro. New ideas. People with ideas. People who believe in truth," he said. "And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president."
Obviously the Internet freaked out.

— MTV (@MTV) August 31, 2015I hear Kanye was incoherent, random, and high on his own ego in announcing his run for President.
Don't knock it. It works for Trump.

We'd also have to deal with this...so maybe not.
