Something must be in the water at club Butter because the stars looked absolutely giddy to be hanging out!  In all honesty, I don't think I've ever seen Jay-Z smile this big, usually he's got his "cool" face on, much like his pal Kanye who of course acted like he was over it. Maybe Kanye should have just stayed home, cuz like they say on Gossip Girl, "The only thing cooler than going to Butter, is not going to Butter." 
Sharing smiles with Jay were SNLers Will Forte and Seth Meyers, who struck an Olan Mills like pose for our photogs (Lindsay Price strode along side them).  P.Diddy was somewhere in the middle acting neither elated nor smug, mostly just fashionable. 

       

The BAPE store had a dude-stastic opening in Los Angeles last night.  The company's founder Nigo was on hand as well patrons of the store including Pharrell Williams, Kanye West and Jermaine Dupri.   The company is famous for its streetwear; hoodies and sneakers, as well as man on man love apparently. 

       

We spotted Kanye West in WeHo, California this week taking a stroll while making a call on his cell phone.  Kanye just announced that he will be embarking on a new tour this year.  The Glow in the Dark tour will feature Kanye, N.E.R.D, Rihanna and Lupe Fiasco.  Sounds dope!

The much-anticipated battle between rappers 50 Cent and Kanye West began in full force when we caught up with the pair in NYC. It didn't look like there was too much love lost between the hip-hop stars and Fiddy even joked to Kanye, ''He's nervous,'' as their battle over who will sell the most albums began. Let's have a clean fight guys.

We've heard of being camera-shy, but rap star Kanye West seemed to be taking dodging the paparazzi to extremes when we caught up with him and his posse in London at the weekend.
