Why Did Oprah Give $10,000 To A 21-Year Old Stockton…
Kevin P. Chavous: College Readiness Is More Than Academics
Kanye West recently took to his blog to skewer the supremely opinionated, sometimes snarky bunch, ranting, "IT'S FUNNY TO ME WHEN FASHION BLOGGERS DOWN OUR OUTFITS AND THEN SUPER JOCK OUTLANDISH SH*T ON THE RUNWAY BUT THEN THEY DRESS MAD PRUDE AND DON'T LIVE FASHION. WE LIVE IT MAN. F*CK THAT, WE LIVE IT!!! WE LIVE IT SO HARD PEOPLE LIVE THROUGH US! WE REPRESENT YOUR INNER SPIRIT!! "
He has since taken down the tirade, but you can check out a NSFW screen shot:
Also, in a recent article in the UK newspaper the Independent, titled 'Fluff flies as fashion writers pick a cat fight with bloggers,' editors from GQ and Grazia magazine complained that certain bloggers, including 13-year-old wunderkind Tavi of Style Rookie, ruined their fashion show experiences with their over-the-top accessories and seemingly meteoric rise to the front row (without paying their dues):
As print subscriptions plummet and advertising dollars shift online, editors and celebrities are understandably incensed with the changing tide. Do they have reason to fear?
Will bloggers be the new leaders of the fashion dialogue?
Will bloggers be the new leaders of the fashion dialogue?

SO I GUESS ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE THESE VERY HARSH WORDS ARE GOING THROUGH LIFE BEING PERFECT. WE ALL HAVE OPINIONS, ABOUT MANY THINGS..HELL EVERYTHING...BUT REALIZE THIS..WE'VE ALL ACTED LIKE JACK ASSES OR JERKS OR IDIOTS..OR JUST PLAIN IGNORANT AT ONE TIME OR MANY TIMES IN OUR LIVES, REGARDING MANY THINGS. IF YOUR LUCKY TO LIVE LONG ENOUGH..AND YOUR OPEN TO LEARNING NEW THINGS AND LESSONS AND LISTENING TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE VALUABLE INPUT..YOU WILL GROW!..AS A PERSON..YOU WILL GROW..IN YOUR THINKING..YOU WILL GROW..IN THE WAY YOU PRESENT YOURSELF..AND PROJECT YOURSELF..YOU WILL LISTEN TO ALL PEOPLE..EXTRACT THE POSITIVE..AND DISGARD THE NEGATIVE. KANYE IS GROWING..HE MAY NOT BE GROWING THE WAY YOU OR I THINK HE SHOULD..BUT THEN..WHO AM I..OR WHO ARE YOU TO DICTATE HOW KANYE OR ANYONE SHOULD DEVELOP IN LIFE. WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN PATH..SOMETIMES THE PATH IS A DIFFICULT ONE..DUE TO TO MANY CIRCUMSTANCES IN OUR LIVES. SOMETIMES IT'S A HURT SO DEEP..SOMETIMES IT'S ANGER SO DEEP..BECAUSE MAYBE SOMEONE LEFT YOU WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG..MAYBE SOMEBODY HUMILIATED YOU ALL YOUR LIFE..MAYBE YOUR JUST LONELY OR DON'T HAVE ANYBODY YOU CAN TRUST. SO MANY REASONS WE (PEOPLE) BEHAVE THE WAY THEY DO. NOW I ADMIT, I HAVEN'T LIKED SOME OF THE THINGS THAT KANYE HAS DONE..BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS ..HE'S A CELEBRITY..HE LIVES HIS LIFE EVERYDAY UNDER PUBLIC SCRUTINY. ANYTHING HE DOES IS GOING PUBLIC..AND THE MEDIA PLAYS IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER. NOW STARDOM COMES WITH A PRICE..THIS IS TRUE..CERTAIN LIFESTYLES AND CHOICES, HAVE OTHER THINGS THAT COMES WITH THE TERRITORY..WE ALL KNOW THIS, HOWEVER, JUST BECAUSE WE KNOW IT AND A PERSON CHOOSES A PARTICULAR LIFESTYLE DOESN'T MEAN IT HURTS OR AFFECTS YOU ANY LESS. I BELIEVE KANYE IS IN ALOT OF PAIN AND I UNDERSTAND HIS PAIN, FROM A PERSONAL VIEWPOINT..OR AT LEAST..I THINK I DO. WE ALL GRIEVE DIFFERENTLY. DON'T HURT HIM MORE BY SAYING NASTY THINGS ABOUT HIM..CALLING HIM NAMES. NAME CALLING DOESN'T MAKE PEOPLE FEEL GOOD OR DO BETTER..ALL IT DOES IS MAKE PEOPLE FEEL WORSE INSIDE..OR ANGRIER..OR MORE DEFENSIVE..OR AT THE VERY WORST..MORE SELF DESTRUCTIVE. WHY SHOULD ANYONE CARE WHAT HE WEARS..IT'S SO IRRELEVANT. IF HE WANTS TO WEAR RAGS OR PAPERBAGS..SOOO WHAT!! LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE..FOCUS ON DEVELOPING YOUR OWN LIFE AND SPIRIT AND HEART..BE GOOD TO PEOPLE..BE FORGIVING..AND DON'T BE SO QUICK TO JUDGE OTHERS..BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT..WHO THE HELL ARE YOU..OR AM I..TO TELL SOMEONE ELSE HOW TO NAVIGATE THEIR LIVES. IT'S AN INDIVIDUAL PATH. YOUR LIFE IS YOUR LIFE..LIVE AND LET LIVE..IT SOUNDS CLICHE..BUT IT'S TRUE. LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES..SOMETIMES WE MAKE MISTAKES OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN..UNTIL ONE DAY..THE WALL COMES CRUBLING DOWN..AND THEN WE EITHER FACE REALITY OR WE FACE FATALITY. EITHER WAY..LIFE IS GOING TO HAPPEN..FOR SOME SOONER..FOR OTHERS..LATER..AND MAYBE FOR THE REST NEVER..BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE..LIFE IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO FLOW. BE EASY..WE'RE ALL JUST TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF THINGS..I KNOW I AM. AND I'M STILL LEARNING ABOUT MYSELF AND WHY I HAVE MADE THE MISTAKES AND DECISIONS THAT I HAVE. KANYE WILL BE FINE..I BELIEVE THAT..
