  • Kanye West Shares An Interesting Fact About His Father

    Kanye West isn’t a fan of the paparazzi! That’s no secret at all!

    The Yeezus rapper has definitely had his fair share of run-ins and disagreements with the infamous celebrity photographers.

    West was recently accused of attacking media photographer, Daniel Ramos, and ruining his camera outside of LAX. However, most fans would be surprised to know just how close of a connection West has with the paparazzi.

    According to Cover Media, West recently revealed that his own father was a paparazzo. The “New Slaves” rapper reportedly shared the news during his deposition with Ramos’ attorney, which stems from the incident at LAX.

    “My father was a paparazzo himself. My father was a medical illustrator, a Black Panther, a Christian marriage counselor,” West said. My mother was the first black chair of the English department in Chicago State. They didn’t raise me to be out here wrestling with random paparazzi in front of LAX.”

    Although the Watch the Throne rapper is adamant about maintaining strict levels of privacy where his family is concerned, he insists he doesn’t have a problem with the profession itself.

    “Sometimes I get in the car with the paparazzi. Paparazzi help me to park,” he told Ramos’ lawyer Nate Goldberg. “The paparazzi watch my car and makes sure that cops don’t give me tickets. There are some nice guys out here trying to just feed their family. And then there’s an [expletive] like the guy you’re representing.”

    Ramos insists the 37-year-old rapper purposely knocked him down. He reportedly suffered “physical and emotional effects” following the highly publicized altercation. However, West says otherwise.

    “I tried to stop his camera and stuff, he fell down, faked it and everyone was saying, ‘Why did you hit this guy?’ I didn’t hit him,” he explained.

    Kanye West reportedly plead no contest in regards to the altercation.

  • Jennifer Aniston Ignores The Tabloid Drama

    Jennifer Aniston has spent the majority of her adult life in the spotlight. Not only did she spend ten years playing Rachel on Friends, she has also been cast in many top-rated films including Marley and Me, The Break Up, We’re the Millers, and Horrible Bosses. She has an extensive resume dating back to 1988, and has basically grown up in the public eye.

    Because she has created such a name for herself in the television and film industry, she has spent her fair share of time being publicly scrutinized in the tabloids, and constantly followed by the paparazzi. However, she says that she refuses to let them, and their bogus stories, steal her joy.

    “You just have to work really hard to tune out the noise and the static,” Jennifer said. “Because it gets louder, and people really have an opinion, and you don’t want to shy away from taking chances for fear of what people will say, or living in the wreckage of the future of what may be if I do this.”

    To avoid the drama that comes along with being a celebrity, Aniston explains that she has developed a tight-knit group of friends and tries to remain as humble as possible. “There’s times when you see people climbing and getting success and you start to see, oh, they’re starting to really change. So I always just make the effort to be as humble and grateful as possible,” she explained.

    Aniston recently celebrated her 45th birthday and sat down with the Associated Press to talk about her current milestones in life. She revealed that she doesn’t spend her entire life planning what is to come, however she tries to live life one day at a time and reflect on all of the things she has accomplished so far.

    “Reflection should be almost a daily thing if possible,” Jennifer said. “Because I was never a ‘where do you see yourself in five years’ person. I had no idea, and I didn’t have a checklist, which really creates a lot less stress in your life.”
