Kanye West Rushed to Hospital After Suffering Migraine

Kanye West was rushed to the hospital in Australia yesterday following a minor health scare — he’s totally ok now, though. Do not worry, assembled readers of Dirt Bag.

Although original reports said he’d had a seizure, that’s not the case: a source close to the rapper told E! News that West “didn’t have a major health care or a seizure” and “just suffered a migraine and went to the hospital simply as a precaution.” Another source says he got an MRI while there.

Kanye has not made a statement about the hospitalization (and neither has Kim), but it seems that all’s well with him now. According to TMZ, he went on to play a show at the Rod Laver Arena that evening and went on a dramatic monologue, as is his custom. In my fantasy version of the night, he flaps the MRI image around and shouts “THIS IS THE BRAIN OF A GOD!!!!!” Which would be the true sign of a full recovery. [E!, TMZ]


Look how cool and hot Rihanna looks on the cover of “Tush,” a German magazine with an A+ name. She looks like a beautiful wizard, or like a very sensual Baba Yaga. Consider this your daily reminder that Rihanna is very fashionable.

There are tons of more photos at the link and also on her Twitter, for the interested (i.e., EVERYONE WITH EYES). [ONTD]


Lorde is on the cover of the October issue of Elle; in the accompanying interview, she says lots of wonderful and wise things, as is Lorde’s wont. Including: “People have told me that I’ve helped them feel confident, like they can say things they want to say. They can talk about feminism in class without people calling them a lesbian. That’s so amazing that I can make someone feel like that.” :’) [Elle]
