Roll Call: Kanye Airs His Opinions & K-Fed Parties With His Boys

By Access HollywoodSeptember 11, 2007, 6:22 am PDT

BIRTHDAY BABIES: While Britney Spears was in Las Vegas Sunday for the VMA's, ex-husband Kevin Federline threw a birthday party at his San Fernando Valley home for their two sons, PEOPLE reports. Spears' parents, Jamie and Lynne, were reportedly among the guests at the party for Jayden James (turning one Wednesday), and Sean Preston (turning two Friday).

KANYE AIRS HIS OPINIONS: In an interview with Z-100 radio yesterday, Kanye West alleged that MTV "exploited" Britney Spears by having her perform at the VMA's when "they knew that [she] wasn't ready." As for himself, the rapper said of the network, "Don't nominate me for five awards and have me not win anything. It was almost as if they were trying to antagonize me to see if they'll create a 'TV moment'."

KID ROCK RIFFS: Just days before Kid Rock's altercation with Tommy Lee at the VMA's, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY interviewed him about his upcoming album. In discussing his sales expectations for the disc, he shared his view on the 50 Cent / Kanye West "sales war": "I just watch all that s--- going on and it's just like, come on: 'I'll sell more than you the first day!' It's like [saying], 'I'll kick your ass after school!' That'll take you far in life," he reportedly said.

MTV GOES 'BLONDE': The Broadway musical adaptation of "Legally Blonde" will be shown in its entirety on MTV, PLAYBILL reports. Airing Saturday, September 29, the program will feature the broadcast of the entire musical, which currently plays the Palace Theatre. There will also be a behind-the-scenes feature and "Pink Carpet extravaganza" included in the broadcast.

REESE'S PIECES: Speaking of "Legally Blonde," the original film's star, Reese Witherspoon, is reportedly dabbling in fashion design. At the launch of the "Nina Ricci" winter boutique collection in London last week, artistic director Olivier Theyskens reportedly told the UK's DAILY MAIL, "My best friend Reese has helped me design it - she is always giving me materials and advising me."

'POTTER' TAKES ALL: According to numbers released by Warner Bros., The first five "Harry Potter" movies have become the top-grossing film franchise worldwide of all time, VARIETY reports. The films have reportedly amassed more than $4.47 billion worldwide, passing the worldwide box office for all previous 22 James Bond films and the six "Star Wars" movies.

    Kanye West is the biggest baby in Hollywood. It makes me so mad for people to play the race card everytime something doesn't go as they planned. Did you ever think maybe people are better than you and that is why they won the awards?

    As a dj, I'm subjected to various requests for songs that I don't want to play..."Stronger" is one of them. Personally, I have only played one Kanye song once and it was "Stronger". Kanye thinks his song is meant for stadiums, news alert, the song sucks more when it's loud.Want a remix, just listen to Daft Punk, it'll have a smoother delivery on a system.

    I can not tolerate Kanye's whiny @ss! Always got something to complain about. He should be mad at his so called "fans"for not voting for him. I'm tired of his wanna be gangsta front. And can someone please get him to stop rapping in a monotone!! His raps so no emotion what so ever! I hate that he's from Chicago, such an embarrassment for me as a Chicagoan
