The rapper announced at a concert Sunday night that his girlfriend is pregnant. He told the crowd of more than 5,000 at Revel Resort's Ovation Hall in song form: "Now you having my baby."

The crowd roared.

Most of the Kardashian clan tweeted about the news, including Kim's sisters and mother. Kourtney Kardashian wrote: "Another angel to welcome to our family. Overwhelmed with excitement!"

West also told concertgoers to congratulate his "baby mom" and that this was the "most amazing thing."

Representatives for West and Kardashian didn't immediately respond to emails about the pregnancy.

The rapper and reality TV star went public in March. Kardashian, 32, is about 12 weeks along, according to TMZ.

Kardashian married NBA player Kris Humphries in August 2011 and their divorce is not finalized.

West's Sunday night show was his third consecutive performance at Revel. He took the stage for nearly two hours, performing hits like "Good Life," "Jesus Walks" and "Clique" in an all-white ensemble with two band mates.

The playlist favored the classics — the Stones, a Beatle, the remaining two members of the Who, but Pete Townshend was mindful to amend his timeless anthem to address their reason for being there: "It's only Sandy wasteland." And the performers hit all the right notes — moving (Billy Joel, below, will still melt even the most cynical New York crowd with "New York State of Mind"), rousing (Jersey guys Bruce and JBJ, Alicia Keys closing the concert, leading everyone in "Empire State of Mind II"), surprising (Michael Stipe pops in on a solo acoustic Chris Martin) — and one deeply odd one, the much anticipated mashup of a Beatle knight, Sir Paul McCartney, and two grunge-y Nirvanans, who performed a song they wrote together. It was not exactly inspiring. Just ... weird. The concert was live broadcast on TV and livestreamed on YouTube last night.

Here, the highlights:

Chris Martin got a surprise, when Michael Stipe popped in for a duet:  "Losing My Religion."

And in fact, by turning a horrific story of domestic violence and suicide into a cheap story about the overwrought reaction to a professional commentator, the national press did proudly fulfill the timeless jeremiad of "Broadcast News" to "never forget (that) we're the real story, not them."

But as repulsive and predictable as that narcissism is, it did inadvertently spotlight a significant problem plaguing our civic discourse. Call it Shut Up and Sing Syndrome.

Just as hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue, late 19th and early 20th century businessmen like Cecil Rhodes, Albert Beveridge and John D. Rockefeller all felt a need to invoke entitlement on a cosmic scale, in effect sensing that something might be majorly amiss. In stark contrast with the grandiose reasoning of the era of colonialism, the asshole in more recent modern life often requires little or no pretext of larger cause for the special privileges he feels entitled to enjoy. He will usually have some sort of rationalization ready at hand — he is not the psychopath who rejects moral concepts altogether — but the rationalizations are becoming ever thinner, ever more difficult to identify. This newer, purer style of asshole often just presumes he should enjoy special privileges in social life as a matter of course and so requires little by way of reason for taking them as the opportunity arises.

Smooth’s “T.R.O.Y.

We call it riot porn. I've always thought it's a bad name. Not because the street scenes -- shot from Egypt to Oakland to Greece -- aren't titillating spectacles (and pornographic in that sense), but because all porn -- good or bad, exploitative or sex-positive -- is staged for the filming. Riots very much are not.

In this sense, the new music video for Kanye West and Jay-Z's track "No Church in the Wild" is the best actual riot porn I've ever seen. The video, directed by Romain Gavras, is five minutes of a graphic, fiery and entirely staged riot. It opens with a young man lighting a Molotov cocktail and lobbing it at a line of riot cops as masked comrades behind him raise their arms in support. Filmed in Prague, but presented as a non-specific yet decidedly European urban battleground, riot cops on horses violently beat the masked crowd, who fight back with fire and fists while Greco-Roman statues look on. Were it not for the surprising appearance of a chained elephant amidst the fray in the video's final frames, the footage looks (almost) like something straight out of Athen's Syntagma Square. Jay-Z and Kanye don't feature in the video at all, which makes artistic sense: I'd be more surprised to see Hove in a riot than a two-tonne elephant.

I live for those times when an album explodes throughout American society as more than a product -- but as a piece of art that speaks to our deepest longings and desires and anxieties. In these Moments, an album becomes so ubiquitous it seems to blast through the windows, to chase you down until it's impossible to ignore it. But you don't want to ignore it, because the songs are holding up a mirror and telling you who we are at that moment in history.

These sorts of Moments can't be denied. They leave an indelible imprint on the collective memory; when we look back at the year or the decade or the generation, there's no arguing that the album had a huge impact on us. It's pop music not just as private joy, but as a unifier, giving us something to share and bond over.

Actually, I should say I loved Massive Music Moments. They don't really happen anymore.

Although Jay-Z and Kanye West leaked tracks from "Watch the Throne" earlier this summer ("H*A*M" and "Otis," a tribute to Otis Redding), the debut studio release has been as closely guarded as it has been highly anticipated.

To promote the album, Jay-Z and Kanye will be touring from October till December, and already rumors have leaked about backstage screaming matches and physical altercations between the hot-tempered Kanye and his more cautious, frugal and commercially successful mentor. Kanye rose to fame working as a producer on Jay-Z tracks; now he's famous in his own right (though not always for the right reasons), and this collaboration will be the first time the duo will share equal billing for their creative endeavor.

Today, the video has "officially" come out, though the only thing that's changed is the inclusion of a dubious warning label.

Websites like the Huffington Post are reporting that a disclaimer at the beginning of "Monster" reads, "The following content is in no way misogynistic or negative towards any groups of people. It is an art piece and shall be taken as such." I don't see that disclaimer anywhere in the 5-minute official video, but even if there is one, does it make any difference? The theme of the "Monster" video is "dead models": There they are hanging by nooses, getting rearranged in bed by Kanye, stuffed in between cushions, getting stepped over by Jay-Z. It's like something Patrick Bateman might have been into, and when you use such powerful imagery throughout your music video, you don't get a pass just because "it's a work of art." You still need to explain why you chose these images, what cultural significance they have, or what they symbolize. Just saying, "It's art," and then showing a bunch of dead women is a cheap way to cop out of the claims of misogyny.

(featuring Kanye West) is thinking that it has anything to do with Steven Spielberg's 1984 film of the same name. It doesn’t. There are approximately zero Reese's Pieces featured here, and also a suspicious lack of both flying bicycles and Drew Barrymore. In fact, it's kind of ambiguous who or what the aliens are in this little vignette by Floria Sigismondi, who also directed "The Runaways." Here's our best guess.

Okay, so: Katy Perry is floating in space, changing her outfits and stuff and looking kind of terrifying. She and Britney Spears apparently swapped manicure tips while Britney was flying by in her own alien spaceship from the "Hold It Against Me" video, because Katy's are hella long. She sings about kissing her with your poison and infecting her, and she has a line that is definitely "Boy, you're so alien." So Katy isn't an alien. Or is she?!

I know you are very busy with "All the Lights," I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you finish, but Justin Bieber had one of the best uninformed abortion sound bites of all time. For someone who is known for his funny and irreverent tweets (they've been turned into New Yorker cartoons and "30 Rock" catechisms!), your tweet about gold diggers getting pregnant on purpose so they can scam money for abortions is the biggest misstep in your career.

Unless you're a big Phil Collins, Celine Dion or Kings of Leon fan, odds are good the awards don't exactly jibe with the reality of your own picks for the best music in any given year. This, after all, is the institution that has honored Milli Vanilli, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" and "Smooth." But once in a while, something that qualifies as listenable slips in among the nominees. And though you won't find anything super-revelatory among this year's crop (not really possible in a world where Iron Maiden and John Mayer are up for accolades), if you'd assumed anything up for a Grammy would automatically make you want to shove a kebab skewer in your ear, open your mind and give these 10 a listen.

With the help of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women and other groups, she started a petition, which began circulating Monday, to stop the release of Kanye's music video for "Monster." (Just another reminder that the music video is back, by the way. What was the last music video anyone bothered to protest?) A preview leaked online last month revealed scenes of what look like female corpses in lingerie. "Men enjoy dead women as sex and entertainment," writes Tankard Reist. "The female body is to be devoured, reduced to the same status as meat. Female bodies should be displayed before men as a great feast for their consumption." Putting aside the question of whether or not the full video is disturbing and misogynistic -- I'd venture yes, on both counts --  it also offers a fascinating Rorschach test of our current sexual culture.

Bush a racist, and the former president said Wednesday that he appreciates the rapper's regret.

Bush appeared in a live interview on the "Today" show, part of a book promotion tour, and also said that his conscience was clear when it came to recognizing ahead the financial problems at the end of his administration.

In his book, "Decision Points," Bush wrote that it was a low point in his presidency when West declared at a fundraiser to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims that "George Bush doesn't care about black people." In an interview taped Tuesday with NBC's Matt Lauer, West said he would tell Bush that he was speaking in a moment of frustration.

"I didn't have the grounds to call him a racist," West said. "I believe that in a situation of high emotion like that we as human beings don't always choose the right words."

Shown a tape of West's remarks, Bush said he appreciated them and forgave him.

"I'm not a hater," he said. "I don't hate Kanye West. I was talking about an environment in which people were willing to say things that hurt. Nobody wants to be called a racist if in your heart you believe in equality of races."

From his recent interview with Matt Lauer, on the occasion of the publication of Bush's new book:

MATT LAUER: You remember what he said?

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: Yes, I do. He called me a racist.

MATT LAUER: Well, what he said was, "George Bush doesn't care about black people."

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: That's -- "he's a racist." And I didn't appreciate it then. I don't appreciate it now. It's one thing to say, "I don't appreciate the way he's handled his business." It's another thing to say, "This man's a racist." I resent it, it's not true, and it was one of the most disgusting moments in my Presidency.

MATT LAUER: This from the book. "Five years later I can barely write those words without feeling disgust." You go on. "I faced a lot of criticism as President. I didn't like hearing people claim that I lied about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction or cut taxes to benefit the rich. But the suggestion that I was racist because of the response to Katrina represented an all time low."

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: Yeah. I still feel that way as you read those words. I felt 'em when I heard 'em, felt 'em when I wrote 'em and I felt 'em when I'm listening to 'em.

MATT LAUER: You say you told Laura at the time it was the worst moment of your Presidency?

Knight was shot in the leg in 2005 at a Miami Beach party hosted by West, and Knight blames West for lax security. His lawsuit is seeking more than $1 million in damages from West.

Knight's attorney, Mark Brumer, said Friday his client was disappointed in the judge's decision.

The shooter has never been identified.

In Thursday's order, the judge concluded there's no evidence that a shooting at the party was foreseeable.

West's attorney, Adam Josephs, said the lawsuit was ill-conceived from the beginning.
