SNL Cold Open: Kanye West Visits The Oval Office

Last night's cold open on SNL took on the wild and wacky rollercoaster that was Kanye West visiting the Oval Office this week.

“So in conclusion, 13th Amendment, Chi-Raq, trap doors lead to the Unabomber, male energy, Trump is my dad, Hillary’s a woman and the media needs to start making this President look good,” concludes Chris Redd's 'Kanye.'

“I love you Kanye,” Alec Baldwin’s Trump chimed in. “We have a lot more in common than people know. We’re both geniuses, we’re both married to beautiful women and we both definitely have been recorded saying the ‘n-word.'”

Kinda hard to put the skit into words as it pretty much captures the off event.

Kanye West & Donald Trump: "We've Been Friends For A Long Time"

Kanye West, who has announced he will be running for president in 2020, "just wants to take a picture" with President-elect Trump.

Apparently, West requested, and got, a meeting with the Trumpster.

I'm guessing Trump agreed to show the world he actually has a "black friend."

Kanye West Rips Off Sacramento Fans With 30 Minute Show

Between the ego, the arrogance and ripping off his fans, I have to admit I don't see the appeal of Kanye West.

Last night, in my summer home of Sacramento, West ended his show after 30 minutes. Those 30 minutes contained just two songs and endless stream of consciousness rants about Beyoncé and Jay Z.

And then, it was apparently "drop the mic" time.

From the Sacramento Bee:

“Press, get ready to write your passive aggressive, LeBron (James) racist comments – get ready the show is over!” West said before storming off the stage.

After the house lights went up shortly after, Golden 1 Center filled with choruses of boos and confused looks from fans. Outside the arena, many were visibly upset, especially after plunking down so much money on tickets. “I spent $250,” said a disappointed Christian Krebs of Sacramento. “I might be a fan of his music, but I’m not a fan of his character.”

The Sacramento stop on West’s “Saint Pablo Tour,” which was attended by more than 13,000, was scheduled to start at 9 p.m. and didn’t include an opening act. West didn’t take the stage until nearly 10:30 p.m., a time which the crowd grew restless and in some cases droopy eyes were seen around the arena. But not long after, the whole show came to a sudden, awkward finish and the house lights turned on.

The performance capped a wild few days for West, who was booed by fans at his Nov. 17 show in San Jose after saying that he didn’t vote, but if he did, he would’ve voted for Donald Trump. West also took a couple of digs at Hillary Clinton.

“This Saint Pablo tour is the most relevant (thing) happening,” West boasted. “If your old ass keeps following old models, you’ll be Hillary Clinton.” And not long after, it was all done.

Agitated fans spilled onto the streets surrounding the arena, and L Street filled with chants of, “(Screw) Kanye!” As of early Sunday morning, it was unclear if tickets to the show would be refunded.

Exes can be mad but just know I never let them play with my ass… I don’t do that… I stay away from that area all together

This version is much more fun to watch, but isn't the song just horrible? Eek....

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West reveal the name of their new daughter

From Raw Story: Rap star Kanye West and reality TV star Kim Kardashian have reportedly named their newborn baby North West, prompting an outbreak of wisecracking Friday on Twitter.

Gossip website TMZ said the name appears on a birth certificate at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles where Kardashian gave birth on June 15, a few weeks before her due date.

“There were rumors floating around a few months ago that Kim and Kanye West might give the baby a directional name … but who thought they would actually go through with it?” it said.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West give birth to baby girl creating new tabloid celeb

Kim Kardashian, 32, gave birth to her first child – a daughter – with boyfriend Kanye West, 36, on Saturday morning, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

The delivery came slightly ahead of schedule for the E! personality, who was reportedly due in early July.
