In case you missed it, Kanye West went on a Twitter rant the other day, claiming that he was $53 million in debt. E! news reports that he went on to say, "Yes I am personally rich and I can buy furs and houses for my family, but I need access to more money in order to bring more beautiful ideas to the world…If I spent my money on my ideas I could not afford to take care of my family. I am in a place that so many artist end up. Also for anyone that has money they know the first rule is to use other people's money. I could not have done the MSG without Adidas but world, what I'm telling you is that was just a small sketch for what I will bring you. There are people who support artist and philanthropist…and I think the idea of being a celebrity a lot of times blocks the understanding of what my purpose is. I am of service to the world with my art and I just want to serve more. I am ultra light beaming right now. So many people have called or emailed to help today hedge fund guys billionaires etc… I know I confuse you guys sometimes but please bare with me. This is a God dream…but if the self proclaimed cockiest person in the world can lay his personal business on the line then please people see my heart. No matter what level you're at in life there is still a struggle, and a balance art family perception friends family politics and the fucking manipulators."
E! News also caught up with Melissa Etheridge to ask her what she thought of Kanye West; here's what she had to say: "I think he is crazy but really genius. I say that in the best way. These are the days for an artist—this is an artist's time. If you can really brand your self and get yourself out there and represent and be a cool person in your artistry you can really do something about it! It's a new world for artist out there and Kanye knows this. Rappers are rock stars, and rock and roll is about inciting thoughts and change. Rap is the rock of today."

Deadpool Broke A Ton Of Records
Deadpool, the move that almost didn't get made until footage got "mysteriously" leaked onto the Internet and fans demanded that it be made, broke all sorts of records over the weekend. The Hollywood Reporter has the breakdown:
At $150 million, Deadpool now holds the record for the biggest opening for an R-Rated film in North America. The previous record holder was The Matrix Reloaded back in May 2003 with $91.8 million.
The movie marked the Biggest Feature Directorial Debut for Tim Miller; the previous record holder was Elizabeth Banks with Pitch Perfect 2 at $69.2 million.
Other records include: Biggest Fox Opening, Biggest Valentine's Day/Presidents Day opening, Biggest January/February Opening, Biggest Thursday night for an R-rated Film, Biggest Friday for an R-rated film, Biggest Russian Debut - International, and Biggest Imax 2D and R-rated Opening - Global, and Biggest PLF R-rated Opening - North America.
Do you think studios will learn from this and start making original movies that people actually want to see? Naw, you can't bet that there are at least three Deadpool knock offs already in the offing because the suits never learn anything.
