"Reborn Baby" artist Deborah King poses with two of her dolls at her home in Fountainhall, near Edinburgh, Scotland June 16, 2008. "Reborn babies" are disconcertingly life-like baby dolls carefully crafted in vinyl, which have become swiftly popular mainly with collectors, but also with nostalgic grandparents and grieving parents. Made and collected by an online community of enthusiasts, they are painted several times to create the mottled colour of newborn skin, have mohair hair and eyelashes, and are weighted to make them feel as heavy as human babies

Kanye West: I Write My Own Blog!

Kanye West steps out of his West Village, NYC apartment on Thursday and hops into his waiting SUV with his cell phone glued to his ear.

The 31-year-old hip-hop superstar recently was accused of hiring a “ghost blogger” to post blog entries for him on his official blog.

Said accuser claims, “I know you don’t really believe Kanye West updates his blog several times a day while chasing skirts and displaying his astounding ignorance all over the world? Hopefully you’re not that naive. Sure Kanye wrote that one outburst on his blog, but no, he doesn’t find all those neat gadgets or post those videos and photos from the road. Someone else does all that for him.”

Kanye retaliated with a blog entry of his own, cheekily posting pictures of himself (see below) looking at the very blog entry he posted. Hah!
