Rumors began circling that Kanye West would appear on the finale for this season of “Saturday Night Live.” Beings that Kanye has been in Paris working on new music and keeping to himself, I thought it was just a rumor but now it’s confirmed!

The episode will be airing on May 18th, so be sure to tune in or set your DVRs like I will be doing so I can skip right to Yeezy’s performance. Hopefully Mr. West will at least preview some of that new music he is working on! See how “SNL” confirmed the rumors in the gallery.
Ben Affleck Takes Heat For Artistic Liberties Taken In ‘Argo’
Ben Affleck won big with “Argo” taking home top prizes at the Oscars. Best Picture, Best Adapted Screen Play, and Best Film Editing, but some people aren’t too happy with him. Particularly New Zealanders and Iranians who think that references to their countries involvement in the film were false or unfair. Though the movie has done well in New Zealand, grossing over 1 Million dollars to date, some New Zealanders have taken offense to one quote in reference to their help or lack thereof to save the group of americans in Iran. In the scene a CIA agent is asking his superior what happend to a group of Americans when the US embassy was attacked in Iran, to which his superior replied, “The six of them went out a back exit, Brits turned them away. Kiwis turned them away. Canadians took them in.” Though it has been documented that New Zealanders did indeed help in the situation the movie was written with a dramatic effect. Even the thrilling tarmac chase scene at the end is a jazzed up version of the actual events, and the Iranians are upset at their depiction in the film. It is however important that we remember, though this is based on a true story, it is still cinema and should be judged only as such. It is not a literal account of events, but a Multi Million dollar grossing movie, and it wasn’t the only one of 2012’s biggest movies that used artistic liberties…
Did Ben Affleck Kick The S**T Out Of Paparazzii?!?!
Apparently Ben Affleck didn’t kick anyone yesterday, and anyone who said that he kicked them was grossly over exaggerating. Affleck says he was walking with his daughter in his arms when he was suddenly swarmed by paparazzi. The 4 year old Seraphina got scared and Affleck asked the paps to kindly back of, however when they failed to leave him alone he swung his leg around slowly telling them they need to be at least that far back. According to sources, Ben never intended to harm or kick anyone he was merely protecting his daughter from aggressive paparazzi. It probably would have been cooler if he did kick their a**es though, Daredevil style. Hit the jump for more.
