Kanye West knows everything is better with Auto-Tune

Kanye West always says or does something that leaves people scratching their heads in bewilderment, and at a recent concert in Australia, he did it again, but this time in song.

When the rapper broke into his track “Say You Will”, he gave the audience a real treat by breaking into a 7-minute Auto-Tuned rant, which most definitely was a crowd pleaser. While he was jabbering away about his struggles in dealing with sex with an ex, or rather him attempting to have sex with an ex, you could hear the crowd laughing and making comments. His random stories of text wars, wine guzzling, and unfortunately for him, rejection in the end, sure make for some good entertainment.

Go ahead and listen to the bizarre, melodic sound off after the cut, but beware for some foul language! The man has a serious case of potty mouth.

Lindsay Lohan is on the right track 

We’ve seen this before, Lindsay claiming to be clean, sober and on the path to a comeback, but will it stick this time?

Lindsay Lohan was in court Wednesday for a probation hearing and amazingly enough, the judge gave her an encouraging progress report. Praising Lindsay for going above and beyond her probation requirements, Judge Stephanie Sautner told Lindsay, “You’re in the home stretch. You seem to be getting your life back on track. It’s never our goal to put people in jail.”

And it’s true. Lindsay has an upcoming appearance on Saturday Night Live (March 3), and she is a front runner to land the much coveted role of Elizabeth Taylor on Lifetime’s “Liz and Dick,” and if she keeps her nose clean, she’ll probably get it.

After years of being in the judicial system there is a light at the end of the tunnel for Lohan. She has one more court hearing to go, and if she completes her terms (five counseling sessions and 14 days of community service), her DUI probation will be completed. She’s due back in court at the end of March. She’ll still be on probation for the jewelry incident, but hey, it’s a pretty good start, especially considering who we are talking about here, right?

 Rihanna on the red carpet at the 2012 Grammy Awards

Not only has Rihanna seen some resistance among fans regarding her and Chris Brown’s reunion, but also now experts in the field of domestic violence have warned the singer to keep her distance from Mr. Breezy.

Although there’s speculation RiRi and Brown have collaborated on more than just two sexy songs, the public really doesn’t know what’s been going on with the exes. Are they doing it or not? That’s really the question.

Reps for both parties have insisted they are strictly ‘just friends’ and I hope that’s true, and that the shocking duets were made just for the sake of ratings. Well, apparently some domestic violence experts are feeling the same way, because they’re seeing the same things we are, particularly Brown’s repeated aggressive behavior. It’s like he hasn’t changed.

The executive director of National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Rita Smith, recently spoke out about Brown and his post Grammy rant, where he basically told anyone who criticized him to “F—k off” because he won a Grammy.

She said, “The response was fairly belligerent and didn’t really indicate that he had changed much in the several years since the assault.” She then added, “I think it’s possible they can be friends, and however they’re involved again, whether it’s as intimate partners or as good friends or as professional associates, I hope that he continues to treat her with respect.”

I’m all about people getting second chances, but it seems to me Chris Brown has had that ‘second chance’ over and over since the 2009 incident with Rihanna. He very well may be on chance #500, and I still don’t see much of a change for the better.

Daniel von Bargen attempts suicide but lives 

Seinfeld star Daniel von Bargen has shot himself in the head but is clinging to life as we speak.

After shooting himself “in the temple” with a .38 pistol, Daniel von Bargen, 51, lived through the incident and was left to call 911 on his own. Astonishingly enough he was coherent and able to talk to a dispatcher until paramedics arrived at the scene. As he spoke with the male dispatcher he said he could not see and he did not know how much he had been bleeding. TMZ posted the audio of Daniel calling 911 – in my opinion it is a real heartbreaker.

Von Bargen, who appeared on the sitcom, Seinfeld, is currently in critical condition. Hopefully he can recover, but sadly it doesn’t sound like he wants to. He told the dispatcher he was supposed to go to the hospital today to have numerous toes amputated due to diabetic complications. He added that he is simply “just tired.”

We will update you as this story unfolds.

Feeling good energy from this pic: WIll Kopleman and Drew Barrymore

At the end of January we found out that Hollywood sweetheart Drew Barrymore and fiancé Will Kopelman adopted a puppy, and now word on the street is the happy couple may become parents to a baby of the human kind!

The lovebirds were photographed leaving a doctor’s office, while Barrymore was clutching what looked like a sonogram in her hand, leaving many to wonder if the two are now expecting.

If it is the case that they’re pregnant, it seems both parties would be super excited. A source close to them has told PEOPLE that they would like to become parents, commenting, “Drew is so motherly,” and, “Will would like to be a dad. Family is so important to him.”

Back in 2006, Drew Barrymore even admitted that she was starting to feel the “tick-tock”, referring to her biological longing to have children. She said, “Whether I have children or adopt, whatever form a family comes in, I would absolutely love to have it.”

Hey, I think some of us feel the ‘clock’ and some of us don’t, but if Drew and Will are indeed pregnant, I feel like they will make beautiful babies, and good parents. Drew seems like she’ll make a wonderful mother. She just seems very nurturing.

So far Barrymore’s rep has not commented, but we’ll keep you updated!

 The 34-year-old Fiona Apple is all ‘growed up’ and looking just as beautiful as ever!

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Fiona Apple, and seven whole years since she’s released a full-length album, but the petite woman with the enormous jazzy, sexy voice is heading back on tour beginning in March.

The singer recently announced an upcoming appearance at this year’s SXSW festival on March 15th, and to follow the good news, she’s taken to her Facebook page to say she’ll be taking off on a short East Coast tour following the music fest.

I forgot how much I loved Fiona Apple, and how much of a feisty one she was/is. She was kind of like a jazzy version of a Riot grrrl back in the 90s. I remember watching her bizarre 1997 MTV Awards acceptance speech (click HERE to see it, but it’s NSFW), and thinking, “I like this chick and what’s she’s about!”

Fingers crossed that the brief tour will just be a taste of what’s to come later in 2012… hopefully her much anticipated, long-awaited album will finally surface and if she can add some more tour dates that will cover much more land, that should suffice for now. Your fans want you back Fiona!

Tickets go on sale for Flavorpill subscribers on Thursday (February 23) from 10 a.m. through 10 p.m. EST; the sale goes to the public at noon on Friday.
