Kanye West: A-OK to Be Gay!

There's a reason MTV doesn't play music videos anymore—they're being played everywhere else. Britney's set to release her "Womanizer" vid on 20/20, which just shows ya that no so-called news outlet is too proud to shy away from the stuff that really sells: celebs.

Kanye West also stuck it to MTV by showing up on Ellen this morning to premiere his vid for "Love Lockdown." Strange place for a music debut, on daytime TV, but guess Kan has a thing for Mrs. de Rossi. "I wanted to say you have really great style," fawned Kanye to El-hon. Pointing to her dark blue sweater, he complimented, "I would completely wear this!" Lesbian chic, newest fashion trend, trust.

Gotta say, it's really refreshing to see a tough rapper so at home with the gay stuff, but is it real or an act, sorta like when Eminem did a duet with Elton John at the Grammys back in 2001? We think West actually means it, as opposed to Em just using it to score some brownie points with the angry gay crowds. Kan's got a lot of anger issues, but he's sure kinder to the homo demo than he is to the paparazzi.

Is this forward 'tude gonna lose the hipster-dressing K.W. some "street cred"? Like rappers aren't gay, please, but you get the point. Or does this rainbow effort of Kanye's ultimately make the dude more likeable in the long run, turning him into the rap community's only fagola icon à la Cher, Madonna or even Ellen?

Pretty sad if his über-success suffers any simply cause of his frequent associations with the homo boys 'n' girls. Could happen, especially when a person like Sarah Palin can make an entire career out of denouncing the same.
