We’ve talked about Kim Kardashian‘s fashion choices a few times this week, remember? Specifically, we talked about how she seemed to be developing a trend of wearing memorable dresses that other celebrities wore before her. First there was her Gwyneth Paltrow dress, and then she stepped out in Cannes wearing the same dress that had been worn before by Zoe Saldana, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Katy Perry (not at the same time, of course, but if someone could draw that picture, that would be awesome). But now there’s some news that reveals that Kanye is really the one to blame for the bad fashion. Natch.

From the Daily News:

Rapper-turned-fashion-designer Kanye West has been giving Kim Kardashian some fashion advice.

“Kanye has been having chats with Kim about her style. He thinks she should be more like him, edgy with her choices. He keeps saying she should evolve as a fashion icon,” thesun.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

Kim ran a clothing boutique with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian as well as her mother Kris Jenner before finding fame. She has also created a successful apparel line named Kardashian Kollection.

However, West thinks Kim needs to be more adventurous with the image.

“Kanye says she plays it safe too much so has been trying to pick outfits for her to wear and encourage her to be more daring,” the source said.

And here’s a similar story all about how Kanye wants Kim to look like Kate Middleton:

Rapper-turned-fashion designer Kanye West prefers his rumoured girlfriend Kim Kardashian to sport a natural look a la Duchess of Cambridge Catherine Middleton. The rapper has been advising his reality TV star girlfriend’s style team on how he wants her to look, with Middleton as a reference point.”Kanye does like to get involved with Kim’s look. He actually has a lot of input, he has amazing style so we take his opinions to heart and I say, ‘Okay, I’ll try it’,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted Kardashian’s stylist Rob Scheppy as saying.

“Catherine Middleton has influenced her look while in London. Catherine’s amazing. We watched her wedding and we thought it was beautiful,” he said.

West, who has his own women’s fashion line DW Kanye West, is not afraid to speak his mind, and dislikes it if Kardashian wears too much make-up.

“Kanye’s not afraid to say what he likes. He definitely likes the less-is-more look. Everyone wants to look good for their man, so Kim will listen and say, ‘Okay. I’ll go with what my boyfriend says’,” Scheppy added.

Ok, first off, no, everyone does not want to look good for their man. Sometimes people want to be comfortable, and sometimes people want to look how they want to look. I get wanting to get dressed up every now and again, but if your significant other would think less of you because of your makeup or your clothes, then maybe you should find a different significant other. Also, Kim’s been modeling and “designing clothes” for quite a while, and she’s basically famous because people thinks she looks good, so I think she’s got this whole area covered.

Besides, is anyone actually going to take Kanye seriously when it comes to fashion? Did everyone forget what his actual designs look like?

From the National Enquirer:

Kanye West is pleading with GF Kim Kardashian’s mom Kris Jen­ner to stop having plastic surgery because he’s afraid she’ll end up dead like his own mother. The rap star’s mom Donda West tragically died at the age of 58 in November 2007 – one day after getting a tummy tuck, breast reduction and lipo­suction.

“That loss crushed Kanye,” revealed a close source. She wasn’t just his mom but his manager as well – just like Kris is Kim’s manager. The parallels are uncanny. Kanye’s gotten very close to Kris. She’s become like a second mom to him, and he couldn’t bear losing another person in his life to plastic surgery. Kanye told Kris, ‘I don’t want to lose ya, baby!’”

Friends and family of the Kardashi­ans’ 56-year-old “momager” fear that she will go overboard with her nip-and-tuck opera­tions. Just before her daughter Kim’s short-lived Aug. 20 marriage to Kris Humphries, her mom announced: “I need a little freshening up.” And as cameras rolled, she headed off to see a plastic sur­geon. Clearly nervous before the procedure, she admitted: “I don’t want to die.”

But Kris could have died from embarrass­ment when a new trailer for the upcom­ing season of the E! reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardashi­ans” showed her with her top lip enormously swollen in a “trout pout.”

“It appeared that the lip was temporarily disfigured from col­lagen injections,” said the source. “She looked positively freakish, and (her children) Kim and Rob were alarmed.”

Everyone is worried that her plastic surgery kick “will veer dan­gerously out of control,” confided the source. But no one is more worried than Kanye, 34, who feels increasingly like a part of the Kardashian family. After only a few months of ro­mancing Kim, he’s already talking marriage with her.

The rapper was previously engaged to Alexis Phifer in August 2006. But their joyous plans collapsed after the shocking, unexpected death of Kanye’s mom – and it haunts him.

This story is believable, and pretty sad. Kanye was extremely upset over his mother’s death, naturally, and it’s obvious that he and Kim have gotten super close, so it would make sense that he got closer to the whole family. But is it weird that I think it’s kind of sweet that Kanye is concerned about Kris Jenner?

Ooh, by the way, that whole thing about Kris Jenner’s lip. We didn’t cover that story, but in case you missed it elsewhere, last week a promo for the new season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians began airing that showed showed Kris with a big ol’ fat lip. The promo didn’t really explain what had happened, but collagen seems like a likely suspect. Here’s an amusing picture:

So, in conclusion, I feel bad for Kanye, but his relationship with Kim just became slightly endearing, and Kris Jenner is still ridiculous.

From E! Online:

Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend Kanye West was at big sister Kourtney Kardashian’s baby shower on Saturday.

And yup, the reality show cameras were rolling.

So does this mean Mr. West is going to be appearing on Keeping Up With the Kardashians?

He will…at least a little bit.

Not only is he in the just released television spot promoting the new season of KUWTK, but Kim, 31, tells me he will appear in a few episodes.

“I want to show my life,” she told me earlier today.

While Kim says she’s not ready to talk about her relationship with West, 34, she did say, “If we are having dinner and he does show up, I’m sure we’re not going to go, ‘Stop the cameras!’”

In other words, we won’t be seeing Keeping Up With Kim and Kanye or Kim and Kanye Take the World anytime soon.

“I’m not going to be taking a bubble bath and drinking champagne or on a sex swing [on camera] like Khloé [Kardashian Odom] and Lamar [Odom] do,” Kim said. “It’s not going to be like that.”

Kim admits her marriage to Kris Humphries leaves her a bit weary of sharing as much as she once did.

“My heart’s a little more guarded,” she said. “I showed so much of myself in the past. You almost get embarrassed showing this big wedding, which I would have had cameras or not. So I think you want to just guard yourself.”

Come on, of course Kanye is going to show up on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. That was never really a question, was it? The two most ridiculous celebrities in the world start dating, and you think they’re going to keep it private? Not a chance. Kim Kardashian had a very public, very messy divorce (that, by the way, is still nowhere close to being official) after a very public wedding, and she broke up with her one true love, Reggie Bush, because he didn’t like all the cameras, all the time. But did she learn her lesson? Nope. She’s going to keep going down this road, because it’s all she knows, except this time it will make for some high quality entertainment. I want the Kim and Kanye spin-off right this second. Is anybody with me?

By the way, the new season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians premieres this Sunday, so mark you calendars!

See, this is a circumstance where I’d normally be prompted to say some random, nice thing about Kim Kardashian, like how short hair and light makeup suits her, but I just can’t, guys. And for two reasons: one, because Kim looks way too much like her mom, and the only worse female in pop culture than Kim Kardashian is definitely Kris Jenner. Two? Because Kim Kardashian is a f-cking conniving dolt who doesn’t deserve any of the “Yeah she’s a twat, but she’s hot” comments that she’s so accustomed to hearing about herself.

These photos were captured this past weekend, where Kim donned a short black wig for aVogue Italia fashion shoot, which I find to be quite interesting, since we, like, just talked about how Anna Wintour hates Kim Kardashian and how she banned Kim Kardashian from ever having anything at all to do with her particular Vogue empire. I guess when you’re overseas, those kind of things change? I don’t know. I realize that Anna’s just the editor-in-chief of the American magazine, but I’m sure she’s got to have some clout elsewhere, too, right? A woman by the name of Franca Sozzani is the editor-in-chief at Vogue Italia, but I guess maybe she and Anna don’t get on so well.

All I know is that if I were EIC of an internationally-known magazine, I’d use my freeze-out powers to put the kibosh on people like Kim Kardashian. I mean, honestly. Can there be that many people out there who actually like and admire Kim enough to want to read her fake, scripted interviews and watch her strut her stupid Botox face professionally? Damn.

Last, Kim’s definite-boyfriend-or-f-ck-buddy, Kanye West, was on set with her, and their first PDA photo was captured (unless you count that one photo where Kanye’s all looking like he had a mild, post-car sex stroke):

See? Gross, right? You can almost see the parasites jumping back and forth from Kanye to Kim in that picture. The things that can be captured on camera these days, guys. It’ll just blow your mind.

That crazy Kanye West, always announcing his feelings through his gift of song. If you’ll remember, the first time we really heard about the amazing love between Kanye and Kim Kardashian was in a new song. It makes sense then that after things started to get really serious, Kanye would allude to marriage in the form of music.

From Us Weekly:

As reported exclusively by Us Weekly, Kanye West’s new rap may have implications about his new romance with Kim Kardashian — suggesting potential wedding bells for the couple of two months.

But a source close to the Grammy winner, 34, clarifies to Us that the originally quoted lyrics from an upcoming song were incorrect — by just a hair.

The source explains that the romantic song actually includes the following lines: “Now she back in the club in a tight dress with dreams of someday wearing a white dress,” with the refrain, “Even though I met you in the club in a tight dress/At first sight I could picture you in a white dress.”

(Another insider initially cited a slightly different lyric: “I saw you in the club in a white dress/Now I want to put you in a white dress.”)

“Kanye’s been a good sport about all the gossip, but one thing that gets him hot is people misquoting his lyrics!” the first West source tells Us of the song, rumored to be on the soundtrack to an upcoming film directed by RZA.

As for speculation that the lines are about wedding plans with Kardashian, 31? “He’s just trying to make dope songs,” the source says. “As has always been the case with Kanye’s music, people will interpret the lyrics to apply to his life or their own. That’s the beauty of it.”

No, I think this song is absolutely dedicated to Kim. After his last song about Kim, and with all the gossip surrounding these two, of course everyone is going to think that it’s about Kim. A lot of people would probably play that to their advantage and make tons of mediocre songs just for the attention, but I don’t think Kanye’s like that. I think that despite his rampant douchebaggery, he’s always sincere. That’s what makes him so hilarious, isn’t it, that he’s so sincere in his ridiculousness? So yeah, this is a song about Kim in a wedding dress, and Kanye is super in love. Someday these two might actually get married. Just not until Kim’s current marriage ends.

What do you think?

Oooh, knife through the heart, right? Kanye West, fashion prodigy, thinks I’m dressed like a tool, better just call it a day then. Better just burn everything I own and jump in front of traffic because this dude doesn’t like the way I dress. This devastation is just too much to bear, you know? Better to just end it all now.

Oh, wait, you guys don’t know what I’m talking about yet, do you? Ok, let’s catch you up: Kanye drove through New York over the weekend, and he saw many fashion choices that upset him. And then he tweeted about it. Got it?

Check out his list and see if you’ve offended him personally:

Just driving through the city and I see a few thing I hate…

I hate button up shirts with hoodies

I hate hoodies with sport coats

I hate sport coats with button up shirts, jeans and dress shoes

I hate khaki trench coats with jeans and off brand work out sneakers

I hate khaki cargo shorts

I Hate big ass striped scarves

I hate long ass sideburns with the line up RnB beard

…all this in 5 blocks

Detest

Most of these are more male-oriented fashions, so I think I’m off the hook. However, my boyfriend might be a little upset when I throw out all his shorts. “IT’S WHAT KANYE WOULD WANT,” I’ll scream as I stomp out the the dumpster. And I know it will be. But what’s wrong with hoodies, sport coats, and big ass striped scarves? I don’t understand it, but I’ll be sure and keep an eye out so I can shame anyone who dares to break Kanye’s rules after he took the time to announce them.

Nah, you know I’m just kidding. If Kanye wants us to take him seriously as a fashion guru, then first he needs to do anything at all to prove that he knows a thing about fashion. Until then, I’m going to keep on judging him. And so is my kitten:

This is his judgement face. Consider it, Kanye. Don’t take this lightly.
