In true Kanye West form, Kanye West is angry. But it actually seems like this time he has something to be irate about: censorship!
In a statement put out by his reps (that's right, "reps" -- not just one rep, Kanye has multiple "reps" writing his statements), the controversial and hot-headed entertainer is saying that his performance of "All Day" and "Black Skinhead" at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night was censored for no good reason.
Kanye West was grossly over-censored at the Billboard Music Awards. Non-profane lyrics such as 'with my leather black jeans on' were muted for over 30-second intervals. As a result, his voice and performance were seriously misrepresented.
We guess the family friendly folks at ABC and Disney aren't fans of Kim Kardashian's main man!
The statement continued:
It is ridiculous that in 2015, unwarranted censorship is something that artists still have to fight against. Although West was clearly set up to face elements beyond his control during the live broadcast, he would like to apologize to the television audience who were unable to enjoy the performance the way he envisioned.
We have to say we think Kanye is a rather pugnacious dude -- but we think this one is worth the fight. Just leave Yeezy be!

We love Beyonce's smile and we can't get enough of the vacation pics she posts on Instagram and Tumblr, but why is she so obsessed with this outfit?! And herself, for that matter...
Yesterday the R&B superstar posted a number of photos of herself in this $700 Stella Jean plaid skirt, and she also uploaded a few clips of herself shaking it to D.R.A.M.'s song "Cha Cha." You know the meme, "You have the same amount of hours in a day as Beyonce?" We saw a mug with that saying on it a while ago and definitely got a bang out of it, but we have to wonder what else Bey is doing all day if she's just posting Instagram selfies...

We knew Kanye West always had eyes for Kim Kardashian but it looks like Yeezy made her work for it!
Kim just admitted that although the two had always been attracted to each other, the celebs had always been in a relationship and the timing never worked out. Amazingly enough, North's mama said that she was the one who finally did the pursuing after she ended her brief marriage to the always forgettable Kris Humphries.
Kim told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush, "When I first met [Kanye], we worked on a project together and there was definitely a spark, but we were in other relationships and we kept our distance." She continued "We stayed in touch here and there and then when he wasn't in relationships, you know, it's just our timing would always not really coincide."
Kim admitted she thought Kanye would give her a ring after she parted ways with the basketball dud. But he didn't.
Kim said:
I called [Kanye] because I'm sure it was really hurtful that I got married and, even though it's not like we communicated all the time, I knew what he was thinking. So I thought he was going to call me as soon as he knew that I was single again," she explained. "He didn't, and so I called him and I said, 'Hello? I thought you were at least going to call me and 'I told you so,' something?' And then – he's always been a good friend to me, like, we've always been there for each other – then he invited me to a fashion show of his in Paris and I went, and then the magic happened.
And magic certainly did happen. The two went eventually went on to have a daughter, North, who will be two-years-old in July and were wed in a lavish wedding last May in Italy.

She should be an SNL cast member!
Christina Aguilera didn't have any contestants remaining on last night's The Voice finale, but the singer still managed to steal the show with her on-point impressions of some of her fellow divas in a hilarious judges try-out skit!
The "Beautiful" songstress put her bleached hair up in little buns and donned red lipstick and a foam finger to imitate Miley, and got her Southern twang just perfect. As for Britney, she dressed in her famous "Baby One More Time" outfit and played a complete ditz. What a diss! The funniest one was her take on Shakira, who talked endlessly and spoke in a super thick accent. When she played Cher, she joking asked if Adam Levine was her accountant!
You have to watch this hilarious video! Who knew Xtina was so funny?!

Britt Nilsson may have been rejected for the next season of The Bachelorette, but she looked like a million bucks when she appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! immediately afterwards! Of course, it seems like there's a good reason for that...
The 27-year-old waitress chatted about how the elimination went down, and said, "[It was] very misleading, wasn't it? Oh I get it — watching it back, I was like, 'That is a more interesting way to watch it.' I was shocked. I really was. I just had this feeling that I was supposed to do it, so in my mind, that meant I'm gonna do the whole season. I met these guys and I felt things starting. I did like some of these guys, there were a few."
Nilsson was flirty with a number of guys on the show's premiere, but she revealed that one suitor in particular caught her eye. After Kaitlyn Bristowe was named the new bachelorette, she was interrupted by Nashville-based musician Brady during the first rose ceremony. "If I'm honest with you and myself, my heart is with the woman that left a couple hours ago," Brady told Bristowe after pulling her aside.
Kimmel asked if the two connected, to which Nilsson replied, "Uh, I mean, yeah ... in my hotel room, crying ... I guess Chris Harrison felt bad about having let me go, so, he gave Brady my [hotel room number]. It is pretty smooth, it's very gentlemanly. I thought it was sweet."
"I cannot reveal at all," she added. "He comes to my door and I was very surprised. It will be on the show next week." Aha!

Kendall Jenner might have just landed at the Côte d'Azur Airport in Nice, France, but after a quick disco nap she was ready to rip and tear on Tuesday night!
The 19-year-old model hit up the VIP Room nightclub with BFF Hailey Baldwin and Victoria's Secret model Josephine Skriver, and based on their party pics, it almost looked like the set of a Girls Gone Wild shoot! Kendall wore a sexy jumpsuit and posed for pictures with her gal pals, and at one point Josephine grabbed the reality starlet's breasts and smushed them together. Insta-cleavage!
Hailey and Josephine posed for a number of pics at the de Grisogono party at the Hôtel du Cap prior to that, where they mingled with stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Cara Delevingne, Michelle Rodriguez, Paris Hilton, Adrian Brody, Chris Tucker and Karlie Kloss. Gotta love being young, tall and pretty -- you get invited everywhere!

We're not sure if Julianne Hough fired her stylist or simply decided that she wanted to ditch her good girl image, but here we are with her nipples on X17online.com...
Last night Julianne attended the Dancing With The Stars wrap party at Beso in Hollywood with her NHL star boyfriend Brooks Laich, and the 26-year-old starlet showed off her hot body in a sheer dress. She looked amazing and if there were a mirror ball trophy for boobs, she'd get it, but yowza!
Julianne had been a pro on the DWTS squad for years before becoming a permanent judge this season, but just because she's sitting at the judging table doesn't mean she's not active! After performing with her cousin, Riker Lynch and his pro partner Allison Holker during the semi-finals, Julianne and brother Derek took over the stage last night to dance to "Elastic Heart" while singer Sia performed her hit song for the crowd. In case you missed that, check out the video below!

From her moves to her moving speeches each week, Rumer Willis was our pick to win the latest season of Dancing With The Stars, and last night the actress and pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy did just that when they took home the mirror ball trophy. Yay!
After the show, Rumer chatted with a number of reporters, and she dedicated her award to any of her fans who might be struggling with insecurities. "Other than for Val and myself, that is who this mirrorball is for," Rumer told Us Weekly. "You know, I hope that it stands for all of that and for anyone who didn't think that they deserved to do something, or couldn't do something, or wasn't capable. That is who I think that is for."
The 26-year-old starlet added, "I feel like I'm a completely different person than the person that [Val] met. He kept asking if I really wanted to do this. [But now, to be] able to stand proudly and put your whole self on the dance floor, and just show who you are and have such a positive response. To see how many people came up to us and were so excited for us — that we won — I think speaks volumes."
Rumer's family have been by her side at every single show, and she added, "We've always been really close. That's one of the beautiful things. They're incredibly supportive and so wonderful, and they are willing to come and support me and cheer me on in whatever crazy endeavors I decide to do! But I get to see that all the time because I have an incredibly supportive family. It might be new for other people to see, but to be honest the person I'm most excited about celebrating with is Val, because he is the person that I did this with. I love my family and I love their support, but I'm proud and I want to celebrate with him."
While we love the selfie Rumer's sisters posted with mom Demi Moore, what the hell was Tallulah thinking when she posted the nearly naked photos below? Seems like a pretty tasteless attempt to steal her big sister's thunder...
