The interactive video for Kanye West's single "Black Skinhead" was just released, and the hot tempered rapper made sure to get people talking!

In the clip, the shirtless Yeezus lyricist is a black-and-white CGI version of himself as he lays down the song over the bass-heavy beat. Interspersed with shots of Kim K's beau are images of growling dogs and KKK members in black hoods, adding quite the edge to the already controversial tune!

Earlier this month, a leaked version of the clip hit the Internet, which caused Yeezy to hit the roof!

"The BLKKK SKKKN HD video that leaked yesterday was not the official version. Me and Nick Knight have been working on this video for 5 months and for creatives it's heartbreaking when something like this happens. The final version will be ready within the next week. So any websites that may have the unapproved/unfinished ruff. I ask you to please take it down. Allow me and Nick to give the world what we've been losing sleep over," he tweeted after the accidental debut.

Oh KW, we love you but you're so intense!

Kelly Osbourne Shows Off Engagement Ring

It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that bling. On Saturday, Kelly Osbourne showed off her manicure and her new engagement ring on Instagram. Along with the glittering pic, she wrote, "Loving my new manicure. Thank you Es Nails."

Kelly designed the sparkler herself and modeled the custom Tiffany ring after one of her father's pieces of jewelry. "I designed it to look like an earring that my father wore when I was little," said Ozzy Osbourne's rockin' little girl. "I used to hold my finger up to his ear when I was little and say, 'I want a ring like that.' Now I have one!"

While news broke mid-July about that the E! Fashion Police host had gotten engaged to 29-year-old vegan baker Matthew Mosshart, the young couple has actually been engaged since Jan. 1. The purple-haired rock princess revealed to Us Weekly that Matthew proposed on a balcony overlooking the ocean while the duo was vacationing in Anguilla.

Kelly also told the mag that her parents were the first to know about the engagement, even saying that outspoken mom Sharon Osbourne approves. "She kind of expected it. Put it this way: Matthew's the only man I've brought home who my parents have liked more than me. Or who my dad hasn't called an absolute f-cker behind their back. Or tried to plot some way of getting rid of them!"

Previously, Kelly was famously engaged to model Luke Worrall before a bitter break up ensued in July 2010.

"Brad and Angie (Angelina) have found a fulfillment with each other that they've never had before. She's spurred him on to greater things in his career and opened his world up to the joys of fatherhood. He's admitted to pals he has never felt so complete," a source dished to OK! magazine.

Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux New York tee shirt jeans

He might have had a sleepover at Jen's house, but you would think he has a change of clothes there at this point!

Justin Theroux was spotted walking along the streets of N.Y.C. on Sunday, and the actor was in the same outfit he wore the previous evening for date night with fiancee Jennifer Aniston. Maybe the Wanderlust star was on his way back to his own pad to switch ensembles?

Then again, the screenwriter pretty much wears a uniform of jeans, biker boots, and white T-shirts, so maybe this is the signature look his lady love prefers!

 

Kirstie Alley Has Twitter War With Leah Remini's Sister

Leah Remini has been under fire since last week's announcement that she left the Church of Scientology, and after attacking the former King of Queens star on Twitter, former pal Kirstie Alley is now going after Remini's sister, Nicole Remini Wiskow.

In the wake of Alley and Remini's virtual squabble, Wiskow has been publicly defending her sister against critics, including X-Factor season one contestant Stacy Francis. Alley then tweeted at Francis about the interaction, saying, "You’re too good to talk to that b***h. Tune her..block her..don’t give her her 15 minutes of fame to spew her hate xxo."

Francis, who performed at Tom Cruise's 40th birthday, responded with, "Truth." She also added: "I love Leah Remini too much to say anything negative about her. Her sister shouldn't have disrespected me for no reason. I know I shouldn’t let the lies being written bother me bcuz that is what evil ppl want but I lose sleep and it hurts it really does." And despite being the one whom it is believed started the battle by retweeting Kirstie's twitter attacks on Leah from last week, Francis wrote, "It’s so crazy and I don’t want to speak out because it feeds into the nonsense. I mean really can I just sing! This is all sooooo stupid!"

In the Twitter melee, Alley took the opportunity to post another passive aggressive tweet on Saturday, writing, "Dear haters can you please jump faster and louder on my tweets ?!? You’re falling behind."

On Sunday night, Wicklow finally responded, "Understand that when PPL are feeling convicted, it will go 2 ways 1) they will retaliate or 2) change. Don;t give in 2 the ugly. Stick 2 the facts." Let's hope this stop getting so ugly before it gets better.

Taking the high ground, Leah Remini's Twitter has remained silent through these many raging battles around her -- maybe Alley and Francis should take notes.

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Kristen Stewart Is Back To Work In Her Army Uniform

Looks like someone's having a blast hanging with the boys on set!

Over the weekend Kristen Stewart shot scenes for Camp X-Ray in Los Angeles, and the 23-year-old starlet looked right at home in her army fatigues. She's not exactly a glamour puss, so we're guessing she's loving the fact that she doesn't have to wear a dress or heels for her role in this film.

This is K. Stew's first movie since Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2, and she'll play a U.S. solider stationed at Guantanamo Bay who strikes up an unlikely relationship with an inmate.
