Kanye West looked like he was having the time of his life while he was partying the night away in swanky Paris nightclub on Saturday -- too bad fiancee Kim Kardashian was nowhere to be found! Kanye and Kim were spotted earlier in the night enjoying the City of Lights together. However after their romantic meal at Ferdi, it appears as Yeezy ditched his ole ball and chain for a raging night out.
The notoriously grumpy performer looked like he was without a care in the world when he and his crew danced the night away at Parisian hotspot Club 79. At one point, a smiling Kanye even got the crowd going by dancing on the bar.
This is definitely a sight for sore eyes! We're used to Kanye doing the following: looking angry, yelling at someone, looking angry, threatening to beat someone up, looking angry, beating someone up, oh and looking angry. But Kanye ... smiling? We're so confused!
The 36-year-old was in Paris to unveil his second capsule collection for A.P.C during Paris Fashion Week. It's possible the new dad was in such good spirits after a successful show. We're just a little surprised that his lady love wasn't celebrating with him!
On Saturday, West and A.P.C. founder Jean Touitou treated members of the media to an intimate presentation of their ideas for fall 2014/2015. During the presentation, an unusually modest Kanye said, “I have a very bad education in fashion, I kind of learned it on Style.com.”
Kanye West said he was bad at something? Has hell frozen over? Well whatever is going on -- we love that Paris has brought out the nice guy in Kanye. But we're not worrying too much about it -- we're sure Yeezy will be back to his angry looks in no time!

Where has she been?!
Jennifer Aniston surfaced for a skincare appointment at a facial clinic yesterday in Beverly Hills, and the actress was doing her best to go incognito under a straw fedora and sunglasses. We think she's purposely keeping a low profile lately to stay off the media's radar during award season!
Why would the A-lister want to shy away from the limelight? Probably because her ex Brad Pitt is garnering tons of Oscar buzz for his film
12 Years A Slave, and the last thing she wants is to have an awkward run-in at one of the various award shows!
The
We're The Millers star and fiance Justin Theroux attended the Academy Awards together last year, but considering Papa Pitt is nominated this season, we have a feeling the engaged pair might sit this one out...

Bad Bieber!
When Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies searched Justin Bieber's Calabasas mansion last week in connection with a felony vandalism charge, they apparently discovered all sorts of drugs and paraphernalia in the house.
TMZ reports that there were "
2 large cookie jars filled with weed in plain view, 4 - 5 empty codeine bottles in the mansion, 3 bongs and styrofoam cups scattered throughout the house."
So what's the big deal with the cups? Apparently they were used for Sizzurp (aka lean/purple drank), which the website reports is "Justin's drug of choice." Apparently Biebs likes to draw on them with markers, and rather than mixing Sprite with the codeine, the 19-year-old singer prefers pineapple Fanta.
TMZ reports that there were empty Fanta bottles lying around that were discolored from the codeine. Yikes!
Justin also reportedly has a dedicated smoking room in the house, and when the cops showed up, one of his pals went to the room and tried to flush some of the substances down the toilet. It's not clear if this is where Lil Za got busted, but it wouldn't surprise us!
So why didn't law enforcement officials seize the evidence and hit Biebs with further charges? Cops were only looking for video equipment that was attached to surveillance cameras, and anything more than that would have exceeded the limitations of their search warrant.
And we're not sure how this slipped past us (um, maybe because no one at our office has any experience with Sizzurp?), but last month when X17 photographers snapped photos of the skate ramp in Bieber's backyard, we failed to notice the graffiti drawing of a styrofoam cup with "Double Cup" written next to it. Double cup is slang for lean mixed with double the amount of codeine...
Think Bieber will check into rehab?

Talk about an interesting group!
On Sunday night Khloe Kardashian went bowling at Pinz in Studio City with little sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner, and the ladies were joined by The Game and Lil Twist. It turns out The Game was having some sort of a charity bash at the venue, and later in the evening a few members of the rapper's entourage got a bit aggressive with photographers. Funny, this isn't the first time this has happened...
While Kylie won't confirm whether she's dating Bieber's bestie Lil Twist, the two seem joined at the hip lately, and on that subject, why's Khloe hanging with The Game again? Or are they really just friends?

Brad Pitt jetted out of Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday night after attending the SAG and PGA Awards over the the weekend, and when asked about his new hipster hairstyle the 50-year-old actor joked with X17 photographers that it was "
fashion baby!" Ha!
At the Producers Guild of America Awards Pitt revealed that it's actually for his role in the upcoming WWII film
Fury, telling E! News, "
It's for a part ... It's not a choice!"
Fiance Angelina Jolie and the couple's six kids are currently in Australia, where she's directing
Unbroken, but Brad was actually jetting to London to wrap up production on
Fury. Maybe he'll head down under when that's done? Talk about a looooong flight!
Brad didn't win anything at Saturday at the SAGs, but his film
12 Years a Slave split the Best Picture PGA prize with
Gravity ... congrats!

Ok, we get it! Alec Baldwin's wife has a great derriere and she's very flexible ... but apparently the
30 Rock star feels the need to document Hilaria showing off her yoga moves in the middle of the sidewalk! Or was it Hilaria who coerced Alec into doing this so she could get several hundred likes on Instagram?
The duo took their daughter for a walk in N.Y.C. over the weekend, and seeing as she posted the pic on her Insta just a few hours later, it does seem like it's the latter of the two options mentioned above...

Gwen Stefani took sons Kingson and Zuma to Cirque du Soleil Totem in Santa Monica on Sunday, and though she had her hands full, it sounds like she had a blast! "Meeting the amazing @Cirque #totem cast! #blownaway gx," she wrote alongside an Instagram photo of herself with the performers.
Last week the No Doubt singer confirmed that she and husband Gavin Rossdale are expecting their third son together with a post on Instagram. “I was ready to hand over the crown," Gwen said with a pic of her wearing one. "[But] I guess I am still queen of the house. #itsaboy #surroundedbyboys."
We're sure he'll still be one of the hippest kids at school, but do you think Gwen and Gavin will try for another kid?

Interview Magazine/Steven Klein
Kanye West covers the new issue of
Interview magazine, and as always, the 36-year-old rapper gives all sorts of ridiculous quotes to
12 Years a Slave director Steve McQueen, who had the great honor of interviewing him. As usual, here are the highlights:
On people trying to silence him:
“People are strategically trying to do things to mute my voice in some way or make me look like I’m a lunatic or pinpoint the inaccuracies in my grammar to somehow take away from the overall message of what I’m saying.”
On family life with Nori and fiance Kim Kardashian:
"It's all brand new, how it feels to be a father. There are some things that I understand, certain things that I don't understand, certain things that I like to get off my chest in interviews, certain things that I want to talk about. But when we talk about love, I don't have an answer. All I can say is that I'm happy I have it."
On his laughably bad “Bound 2? video with Kardashian:
"I think people are afraid of dreams, and that video is one of the closest things to the way that dreams look and feel, or the way joy looks and feels, with the colors. You know, I think there are rules to fashion, with the all-black everything, and rules to art, with white galleries. There are rules to how a lot of things are: the concrete jungle, stone pavement, brick walls. There are even rules to what a Brooklyn apartment looks like. But this video completely didn't respect any of those rules whatsoever. [laughs] It's a dream, and I think the controversy comes from the fact that I don't think most people are comfortable with their own dreams, so it's hard for them to be comfortable with other people's dreams.”
On his background in the arts:
“I’m a trained fine artist. I went to art school from the time I was 5 years old. I was, like, a prodigy out of Chicago ... I’d been in national competitions from the age of 14. I got three scholarships to art schools ... and I went to the American Academy of Art. So the joke that I’ve actually played on everyone is that the entire time, I’ve actually just been a fine artist. I just make sonic paintings, and these sonic paintings have led me to become whatever people think of when you say 'Kanye West.'"
On his struggle to get people to back him:
“I went around and showed people what I’d done and said, ‘Hey, I made “Watch the Throne,” I made this amount of music for the past 10 years, I have this level of visuals, this level of communication, I can sell this many albums, and I also have these new inventions. Will anybody help me out?’ I met with 30 billionaires, 30 companies, and basically everyone said, ‘F*ck you.’ I said, ‘How could this happen? How could not one person want to invest in these different ideas?’"
Oh Kanye ... and how to we even begin to discuss the below pic?
