Kanye West, whose blog has become my go-to source for new videos over the past few days, posted the above clip for N.E.R.D.'s remix of "Everyone Nose" with the simple declaration "THIS IS WHY I FUCK WITH HYPE!!!" I'm guessing "This" in the previous sentence means "His willingness to blend characters from Space Invaders and Donkey Kong with a dancing bathroom-sign lady, which make for a much better video tableau than American Apparel model rejects. And also, me me me me me in 8-bit mode." [OnSmash via kanYe West: Blog]

At this point, we've all heard that Lil Wayne is going to dominate the charts next week, approaching the long-forgotten one week/one million sold mark last achieved by 50 Cent in 2005. However, Plies (who, to me, is sullying the once proud Slip-N-Slide name) is also having a pretty good week, as he's on track to sell around 225,000 copies of Definition of Real. Chris Molanphy favorite Now 28 likely will jump past last week's chart-topper Disturbed into third (140-150,000), with the bald guy and his anonymous band fighting it out with Usher for fourth (95-100,000). N.E.R.D. will likely debut in sixth with around 90,000 sold; Wal-Mart keeps the Journey wheel rolling, selling around 80,000 copies of their likely No. 7 Revelation; and 55,000 suckers will soon regret purchasing the new Alanis Morissette. My Morning Jacket, Weezer, and the unkillable Sex And The City soundtrack are battling for the last two spots in the top ten. Next week, some British dudes and the delightful Katy Perry hit stores.

Lohan and Kanye West, another visitor to the shoot for Pharrell and Co.'s ode to cocaine-inspired bathroom lines "Everybody Nose," had already left the nightclub in Manhattan when the fight began.
