Kanye West moving to London?
It has been rumored that the Louis Vuitton Don is expected to make a move across the pond next year to come and study fashion in London.
Kanye who has since the release of his last album 808s and Heartbreak made public his passion for studying fashion has also reached out to various couture houses hoping to be able to study within companies such as Louis Vuitton and get to know the true elements of high end designing.
There has been reports made that the Chicago born Kanye will be working in the Louis Vuitton flagship London store on Bond Street when he moves to the UK. He recently anointed UK singer Mr. Hudson as his face of Pas Tell, his clothing line which is said to launch in the New Year.
The couple met while Hudson was opening for Kanye on the UK dates of his Glow in the Dark Tour earlier this year.

Will 50 Cent stay with Eminem
There is a possibility that Curtis Jackson AKA 50 Cent might end up staying with his Shady/Aftermath family once his negotiations with the label are settled he mentioned in a recent interview.
50 Cent whose contract with the Dr. Dre and Eminem label is up with the release of his fourth album in February, Before I Self-Destruct, has yet to find a new label to call home after being signed with the powerful duo since 2001.
But whatever happens 50 explained that he and Eminem will always be friends "I'm a loyal person. I'll always be down with Em, regardless to what the scenario is.â€
