Kanye West to Star in HBO Reality Show?

Friday January 12, 2007

This is probably bad news for those who can't stand Kanye West's tantrums on national TV: HBO is planning unscripted series that will follow a day in the hectic, self-congratulatory life of Mr. West. No title has been picked for the show which is being developed with with Larry Charles, the director behind HBO's "Entourage" as well the controversial mockumentary "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."

Kanye's forthcoming third LP, Graduation, is one of the most anticipated hip-hop albums of 2007.

Update: Def Jam representatives confirmed to us that Kanye is currently working on a TV series but insist that the project is not a reality show.

I have respect for Kanye West and everything but has anyone ever noticed that every single song he’s ever produced has a high pitched chorus or little kids singing in the background. I don’t know what it is, but as far as I’m concerned this guy is getting too much publicity.
