Although the lavish Fame Kills tour planned for pop star, Lady GaGa, and hip hop artist, Kanye West, was cut short unexpectedly, fans of the style-obsessed singer shouldn't get too down. That's because GaGa is hard at work on putting together a new tour, for her upcoming album, The Fame Monster.

The Monster Ball kicks off next week and according to the blond popstress, "The theme of monsters is certainly going to be an influence, as well as the theme of evolution and change. It's going to be a truly artistic experience that is going to take the form of the greatest post-apocalyptic house party that you've ever been to."

As for clearing up why her tour with Kanye ended so quickly, GaGa explained, "We're real friends, real friends can make decisions like that, and we wanted to keep the momentum going in terms of pop music staying innovative with hip-hop and R&B, and we really wanted to do it, and it just wasn't the right time."

Can't wait to see what that's going to look like. The wigs alone should be fascinating.

The latest celebrity to be the subject of a faux death scare is rapper Kanye West. Internet rumors have been circulating on Twitter that the hip hop artist perished in a "bizarre car crash in Los Angeles involving two luxury cars."

However, West's buxom girlfriend, Amber Rose, is assuring fans that the musician is perfectly fine. "This RIPKanyeWest topic is not funny and its NOT TRUE! He has people like myself and his family that love him very much," she posted on Twitter.

"Its in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It's totally disrespectful to make up a story like this where all human and we all make mistakes and to say someone died cuz of a mistake is ridiculous. U wouldn't want someone to say that about u Or someone u love it's not funny. #LongLiveYeezy!!!!!"

Yes, because these two are committed to fighting all forms of "poor taste."

The eagerly anticipated re-hookup between Kanye West and "Where the Wild Things Are" director Spike Jonze, "We Were Once a Fairytale," was released over the weekend.

The 11-minute short film -- which is not a video for any specific song but features bits of "See You in My Nightmares" -- was shot in Los Angeles over two days in January, and it opens with West playing himself.

Here are some of the beautiful people who walked the red carpet last night at the 4th Annual BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta. 

Some people you won't be seeing are Kanye West, who decided to take a day off from being hated by the world, and T.I., who won two awards despite being in prison (ha!).

Drink in my girl Kim Coles here.  I'm sure she's done many wonderful things in her career, but Living Single will always be my favorite show.  Oh, Synclaire, how you loved those troll dolls!

Kanye West and Lady Gaga's tour is over a month before it was supposed to begin. Just days after announcing dates for an ambitious tour that was to kick off next month, the tour was canceled.

Live Nation announced the news on Thursday. The tour promoter says refunds will be issued. No reason was given for the cancellation.

Rumors of poor ticket sales, as well as Kanye West and Lady Gaga being at each others throats regarding the production of the show. So say it was Lady Gaga wanted out so she could do her own solo tour.

50 Cent slammed the tour -- which he called the gay tour (yes, go ahead and boycott Vitamin Water now) -- in an interview on New York's Hot 97 on Wednesday, but apologized for his comments on Thursday, October 1st after a wave of negative feedback in the media.

I'm guessing the clash of egos, and fan backlash from Kayne's MTV Taylor Swift/Beyonce fiasco had a lot to do with the cancellation. Leave your concert cancellation theories in the comments!

Janet Jackson looked gorgeous on the red carpet as she attended the amFAR (Foundation for Aids Research) event at the La Permanent during Milan Fashion Week last night.

The singer posed with designer Donatella Versace who Janet is a big fan of. The designer designed outfits for the entire Jackson family to wear at Michael Jackson's public memorial this summer.

Donatella threw a huge dinner part for 150 family and friends earlier in the evening, including Janet, 43, and her beau Jermaine Dupri.

Janet recently praised the fashionista in an interview, saying: 'Donatella is just a sweet, nurturing woman.'

Also in attendance were Linda Evangelista, Chanel Iman, Kanye West, Amber Rose, Dita Von Teese, Rachel Bilson, Alek Wek, Nicole Chavez, Roberta Armani, Dean and Dan Caten.

With Amber Rose in a brightly-colored, barely- there dress and leather vest, boyfriend Kanye West doesn't seem to mind that there are photographers snapping photos of him getting frisky with his lady.

The couple enjoyed a night out in Hollywood at the Capitol City sports bar and found a way to keep himself (and his hands) busy while waiting for the valet to bring his car around.

The twosome made kissyface to pass the time, looking ready to head home and get down to business, which I'm sure they did.

In case you thought we were finished beating the dead horse that is discussing Kanye West's stunt at the MTV Video Music Awards, you thought wrong!

During an interview for BBC Radio, Beyonce's husband, Jay-Z, gave his two cents on the situation. Without defending West's actions--which he describes as "rude"--the rapper claims that the backlash in the media has been "a bit blown out" of proportion.

Jay-Z says, "I think it was rude, but the way they're treating [Kanye]...He's on the cover of every paper. He didn't kill anybody. No one got harmed."

The hip-hop mogul explains, "At the end of the day, we're gonna celebrate him for his passion more than vilify him. As he grows and matures, he has to balance that."

Well said. I'm starting to think that maybe Beyonce and Jay should take Kanye in as their foster child. I have a feeling they could straighten him out.

No stranger to turbulent times, R&B artist Mary J. Blige is speaking out about Kanye West's now infamous antics on stage at last weekend's MTV Video Music Awards.

Blige tells Us Weekly, "I love Kayne, and I wish the best for him." The "No More Drama" singer adds, "I pray that whatever's going on with him, he deals with it."

Meanwhile, Mary couldn't be more excited about the way that Whitney Houston's comeback is going. Blige says she's "super happy" for Houston. Blige said of Whitney's tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, "Go, Whitney! She was honest, and that's what I love!"

Then, Mary leaned over and fixed a scuff on her shoe with a black Sharpie. Cause Mary's real like that and that's why we love her.
