Kanye West was
nominated for two Grammy Awards last week, but apparently that did not please the rapper, who decided to gripe about it at his Yeezus Tour show on Tuesday in Phoenix, Arizona.
In between songs with music playing in the background, Kanye said to the crowd, "
Yeezus is the top one or two album on every single list, but only gets two nominations from the Grammys. What are they trying to say." KISS FM Phoenix posted the video on their Instagram ... somehow it's even better when we get to actually hear him whine about it!
This comes on the heels of Kanye's
recent remarks that his job is "like being a police officer or something, in war or something," because he's putting his life at risk when he climbs on certain set pieces during his show. "When I think about when I’m on the "Can’t Tell Me Nothing," and "Coldest Winter" moment, like that mountain goes really, really high," he told
SaturdayNightOnline.com. "And if I slipped … You never know."
Kanye received nominations for Best Rap Album for
Yeezus and Best Rap Song for “New Slaves," and for the record, Kanye has been nominated for 53 Grammys and won 21 over the last decade. Maybe it's time for him to shut his mouth and be grateful that he even has a career still! Oh
wait...

Who thought
this was a good look?!
Kristen Stewart flew to Texas to attend the Chanel Metiers d'Art fashion show yesterday, and the
Twilight star opted to wear unflattering pumpkin high-waisted leather pants with a cropped beige sweater. Yuck!
The actress was unveiled as the new face of the brand, following in the footsteps of other beauties like Blake Lively and Diane Kruger.
The yearly pre-fall collection and runway show for the French fashion label is held at a different location annually, and each city has a significant meaning in Coco Chanel's life and personal history.
Other celebs in attendance include Dakota Fanning, Lily Collins, and Zoe Kravitz to name a few.
We wish K-Stew would occasionally dress a little more feminine!

Finally! Just two weeks after his divorce from Demi Moore was finalized, Ashton Kutcher posted a PDA pic with lady love Mila Kunis! We love it! The
Jobs star posted an Instagram pic laying a smooch on his paramour on Tuesday. Aww! We love them!
"Sunset #nofilter," the 35-year-old hunk star captioned the pic.
In the adorable selfie, the dimly lit twosome get kissy under a neon sign titled "SUN." Viewers can only see one of Kutcher's one eye and Kunis' messy bun.
The former
That '70s Show costars began dating in April 2012. Sources say that the twosome have been secretly engaged for awhile, but have been waiting until Kutcher's divorce was finalized to go public. Kutcher and Moore, who were married in 2005, separated in November 2011 and cited "irreconcilable differences" in legal documents. After a lengthy, two-year feud over money, the divorce was finalized just days before Thanksgiving.
In October, Kunis was snapped wearing a gold band on her ring finger while shopping in Studio City, which sparked rumors of their engagement. It appears as though things are still going strong for the pair -- Kutcher even attended Kunis' brother's wedding over the weekend in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Looks like things are going super well! We hope an engagement announcement is coming any day now!

That's a nice gesture!
Paul Walker's family is planning a private funeral for the late actor now that his body has been released to Forest Lawn Mortuaries by the Los Angeles County Coroner's office, and the
Fast & The Furious star's clan is reportedly planning to invite his former co-stars to the intimate event.
The family is said to want to keep the memorial small, so that Walker's daughter Meadow feels comfortable enough to grieve the loss of her father,
TMZ reports.
Sometime after the family service, there will be a larger memorial for extended family and friends, but that will also be invitation only.
This is all so sad!

The nominees for the 20th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were announced today, and
12 Years a Slave led the list of nominees with four nods, including best ensemble cast, male actor in a leading role (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and supporting nods (Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong’o).
The Butler earned three nominations, including best ensemble cast, male actor in a leading role (Forest Whitaker) and supporting actress (Oprah Winfrey).
The
LA Times notes that the ensemble cast honor is essentially the equivalent of best picture, and other films in that category include,
August: Osage County,
Dallas Buyers Club and
American Hustle. And yes, silver screen darling Jennifer Lawrence picked up a SAG nom for her role in the latter of those three films.
Bruce Dern (
Nebraska), Tom Hanks (
Captain Phillips) and Matthew McConaughey (
Dallas Buyers Club) rounded out the lead actor category, but it could be anyone's game for the leading actress honor with Cate Blanchett (
Blue Jasmine), Sandra Bullock (
Gravity), Judi Dench (
Philomena), Meryl Streep (
August: Osage County) and Emma Thompson (
Saving Mr. Banks) among the nominees.
LAT also notes that many SAG nominees and winners go on to nab Academy Award nominations and honors; for example, last year Daniel Day-Lewis, Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway all took home the Oscar after winning top prizes at the SAG Awards.
The SAG Awards will air live on January 18, 2014 at 5pm PST on TBS and TNT from the Shrine Exposition Hall in Los Angeles. Click through to see the complete list of nominees!

Blake Lively attended the opening of the Van Cleef & Arpels‘ redesigned Fifth Avenue Flagship Maison on Tuesday night in New York City, and the 26-year-old actress looked gorgeous in a lacy black Marchesa gown and a bunch of the brand's baubles.
And let's not forget about her massive 12-carat Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring! Blake and Ryan Reynolds got hitched back in 2012, and though we don't see her out that often these days, every time we do, we can't stop staring at her rock. And of course, she wore Gucci shoes, as she is one of the fashion house's many spokesmodels.
The Hollywood Reporter posted a story earlier this week that Blake has left her talent agent at CAA and she is currently on the hunt for a new agency ... we have a feeling it will only be a matter of time before someone scoops the former
Gossip Girl starlet up!

She may never be on the cover of
Vogue, but there's hundreds of other magazines that love putting her front and center!
Kim Kardashian covers the new issue of
Us Weekly, and even though she already gave us a peek at her bikini body with a sexy selfie earlier this fall, here's another look at it!
It's been six months since Kim gave birth to daughter North West, and despite being slammed for gaining 70 pounds during her pregnancy, Kim is back in fine form these days. "
Kim feels confident again," a source tells the magazine. "
She worked really hard and is so motivated to stay fit." Now if someone would just find her a decent stylist!
In other news, Kim is defending the fact that a scant
10% of the proceeds from her recent charity auction are going to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan, and she took to her blog to clear the air.
Kim wrote:
"I feel compelled to speak about something that is in my head and my heart. Over the years, I’ve had to grow a thick skin. Being in the public eye, there are times I feel like I get criticized for any and everything I do. I’m used to it now. I just choose not to feed into negativity or become consumed by it.
The problem comes in when I get attacked for giving and trying to help people. My dad always taught me the importance of giving back. I don’t publicize everything I do to help charities and people all over the world. I do it because I want to. I do it because my dad taught me to. I do it because it’s the right thing to do. So for people to attack me for giving 10% of my eBay auction sales to the people of the Philippines, that hurts.
I do eBay auctions monthly and change the charity or church from time to time. I give 10% of all my earnings to charities, not just these eBay auctions. This month it’s for the people of the Philippines, last month was Life Change Community Church.
In regards to these eBay auctions, when the eBay numbers get broken down, the auction management agency that posts for me gets a percentage for all of their hard work, then eBay listing fees, end of auction fees, eBay Store fees, Paypal fees, etc., all add up to about half of the sale. Then I give 10% to a charity.
Truth is how the # is broken down, is neither here nor there. The people of the Philippines need all of our help, no matter how big or small.
Over the last 5+ years, I have listed thousands of items on eBay Giving Works for various causes. I will continue to do what is in my heart and am happy to know many others have enjoyed purchasing from me, as they too are giving with me.
Giving comes from the heart. We all need to be reminded of this as we celebrate the holiday season this year."
Wait, so she's still just donating 10% from the eBay auction right?

At least he didn't get into a fight with anyone, so that's a plus!
On Tuesday afternoon Kanye West landed at Los Angeles International Airport, and between Art Basel in Miami last week and concerts in New Orleans and Texas over the weekend, he's been all over the place! But where's baby mama Kim Kardashian?! And why was he stopping in LA when he had a show last night at the US Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona? So many questions! Apparently he was flying in from New York City, which is where Kim and little Nori are still holed up.
But back to Kanye's tour! The eccentric rapper did a radio interview with
SaturdayNightOnline.com and gave what might be the most ridiculous quote of the year. “
I’m just giving of my body on the stage and putting my life at risk, literally," he said. "When I think about when I’m on the "Can’t Tell Me Nothing," and "Coldest Winter" moment,
like that mountain goes really, really high. And if I slipped … You never know. And I think about it. I think about my family and I’m like, wow,
this is like being a police officer or something, in war or something."
UM ... WHAT!? Aside from the remarks about the leather jogging pants and a certain comment about George Bush back in the day, this is easily one of the top five craziest things Yeezy has ever said. Though he tried to explain himself, it was too late. “Like you’re literally going out to do your job every day knowing that something could happen to you," he whined. "Something could happen to you verbally from the press bashing you, something could happen to you from people not liking you anymore 'cause of your records — you could actually slip on that stage."
Has anyone ever successfully thrown something at Kanye onstage? Just wondering...
