Reality Stars turned out en force at Kanye West's after-party last night in Los Angeles at the nightclub Goa. Kim Kardashian, Brittny Gastineau, Kristin Cavallari and Lauren Conrad were just a few of the many attendees...reality star and otherwise...that made the party a huge success. Kanye left very shortly after the last song of the night, his tribute song to his late mother.

Rapper Kanye West has no regrets about speaking out against homophobia in hip-hop music, even though some people now assume he's gay.

He says, "It's being in the entertainment world, I meet so many different gay people who are actually nice people. Where I came from, Chicago, being black and being a hip-hop artist, we used to really disrespect gay people. And the thing is, we can't get close to them with a 10-foot pole. And I realised, 'Wow, how ignorant has this been?'"

Kanye, now 30, says, "Speaking out against hip-hop homophobia, some people were like 'Oh, Kanye must be gay! Look at the way he's dressing! And why would he speak about it? He's a gay rapper.' And my whole point is, I wouldn't have spoke on that if I was gay or if I was in the closet. I would have stayed so far away from it."

Kanye held a fans-only concert last night he calls "the future of rap music" at the most unlikely of locations: the Methodist Central Hall in Westminster, near London's Houses of Parliament.

More than 1,000 loyal West supporters dutifully stood in line for an hour outside the venue, all clutching their mobile phones with coded text messages needed for admission to the "secret" concert. Money couldn't buy the hottest ticket in town, with West's single "Stronger" at No. 1 in the U.K. charts and his new album due in September.

Unfortunately, rapper Kanye West isn't going into eyewear design anytime soon (that we know of), but the rapper was wearing some very snazzy promotional glasses made of paper as he signed autographs whilst promoting his new album "Graduation" at BBC radio in London.

Meanwhile, the notoriously flashy gangsta rap star, 50 Cent, thinks his new album Curtis will outsell Kanye West's upcoming disc, so much so that he's betting his solo career on it. Fiddy (aka Curtis Jackson) stated on Friday that if Kanye's album outsells his, he will stop releasing solo albums.

And now, country artist Kenny Chesney is getting in on the act. His new album Just Who I Am: Poets And Pirates is due to be released on the same day as those from Fiddy and Kayne. He suspects that he might sneak up on 50 Cent and Kanye West, grabbing the top slot on that week's Billboard 200. Chesney says, "'It's funny how with every record that comes out, we're aware of the urban [competition], and none of those acts acknowledge that I exist...until I have that No. 1 debut on the Top 200.'' Chesney's last studio album The Road And The Radio did, in fact, enter the charts at the top slot when it was released back in November 2005.

All three artists' albums are due to hit stores on September 11.

It was rumored that Kanye West, seen here leaving the TRL studios, and 50 Cent had agreed to a presidential-style debate over whose album was better. Both artists' new albums will be released on the same day.

Kanye, during his TRL visit, dismissed any chances of a showdown, saying "I don't have beef with anyone. What am I going to debate about? I’m going to go in the studio and make music. When I heard the thing about the debate, I thought that was the stupidest thing. When my album drops and 50's album drops, you're gonna get a lot of good music at the same time."
