Kim Kardashian lets Kanye into her closet

Posted by Rachel Raczka August 27, 2012 09:35 AM

Kanye West continues his ambiguous appearances on girlfriend Kim Kardashian's E! reality show, "Keeping up with the Kardashians," this time arriving with his stylist, Renelou Padora, to clean out his lady love's wardrobe. Kardashian sets the premise for the visit, saying West has arrived for a "full clothing makeover," while explaining that their relationship has "definitely inspired [her] to be a little more of an individual."

West, who remains as reality-TV-awkward-as-ever -- sheepishly shuffling and mumbling in the background, eyes to the floor -- zones in on a patent-leather shearling handbag while Padora chimes in, "It's a dog bag, no?"

Kardashian stood back as her beau and his stylist ransacked her "ghetto" closet, tossing undesirables, stating that she trusts West's judgement because "he's a fashion designer and he loves clothes."

While the piles of clothes and shoes nixed from Kim's closet left us feeling a wee bit of remorse, the situation ended with a happy note. The reality starlet immediately Tweeted that she'll be donating the goods to charity via eBay.

Rumors are also swirling that Kimye may be considering a reality series of their very own, but nothing has been set in stone for the pair just yet. Would you let your significant other clean out your closet? What if he was a "fashion designer"? What if he was Kanye West? (Does that help? NO?) Share your thoughts and comment here.

Tony Danza may or may not be running for mayor

In true politically vague fashion, "Who's the Boss" star Tony Danza implied that he may be interested in running for political office in the city of New York ... maybe. Danza chatted with the Wall Street Journal at the premiere of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's new flick, "Premium Rush," while wearing a NYPD T-shirt under a black blazer. And though he did not directly confirm, the 61-year-old actor was not shy about his thoughts, “I’m of a certain age, and you see things, and you think maybe you could help. You say: ‘Let me fix the city. Let me run for Mayor.’”

Danza could be joining the ranks of his fellow celebrity politicos, "30 Rock" star Alec Baldwin and city-centric rapper Jay-Z, but he scoffed at the potential competition: “Can Alec Baldwin be a viable candidate? Or Jay-Z? If Jay-Z were mayor, would they play that song in ads? Or just the chorus? ‘Neeewww York.’ It’s got a great hook, I love that part.”

He also commented on public and green transportation ("Rollerblades--I'm a skater."), monetary contributions to politicians ("The country's been hoodwinked ..."), and his qualifications ("I'm concerned ... I read the papers.")

Danza did not confirm or deny his intentions or his political party alignments but we're curious to see how this plays out. An all-star ballot for the next mayoral race? We'd tune in to see that.

Mayor Menino isn't the only one against Chick-fil-A these days.

The Jim Henson Company, the company behind the Muppets, "Sesame Street," and other popular puppet franchises, has decided to cut ties with the fast-food chain after Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy said he is against gay marriage.

The puppet purveyors had teamed up with the chicken chain for a create-your-own puppet kit for young Chick-fil-A customers, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Henson Company posted the following statement on its Facebook page on July 20.

The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors. Lisa Henson, our CEO is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to GLAAD.

Despite initial reports, Lindsay Lohan's latest health scare was caused by "exhaustion and dehydration," her representative tells People.com.

Paramedics were called to the Ritz-Carlton in Marina Del Rey, Calif. to check on Lohan, who is filming in "Liz & Dick," in the Los Angeles area, on Friday morning.

According to People magazine:

"She was on set last night at 7 p.m. and worked through the night until 8 a.m. this morning," her rep explains. "She took a nap before shooting her final scene. Producers were concerned when she did not come out of her room and called paramedics as a precaution."

The actress was examined at the scene, and was later determined to be fine. She was not hospitalized.
