Given Andy Warhol's iconic quote "In the future, everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes," it's no surprise that Kanye West is a big Warhol fan. Which is precisely why he's commissioning Warhol to paint a portrait of his animatronic sex doll fiancee Kim Kardashian—except Andy is long since dead, and the piece is a knockoff made by a batshit crazy distant relative of the artist.
As if making more Star Wars installments wasn't already enough of an affront to the original trilogy, classic villains are now taking promotional selfies too; the holidays will not be kind to Ryan Reynolds; Roseanne Barr has been offered the chance to do Vivid porn, which proves why no one really needs to pay for porn anymore; and Chris Hemsworth made out with someone pretending to be Natalie Portman in Thor, and no, it wasn't just that cheeky Loki.

New Regency chairman and Hollywood mega-producer Arnon Milchan is no stranger to gripping tales. He's the producer behind Twelve Years A Slave, Fight Club, and Pretty Woman, though its his own history as a secret arms dealer to Israel in the 1960s, that has box office gold written all over it.
