Kanye West’s partygoers walk out of his ‘cult-gathering’ Grammys bash after he ‘starts performing new songs’

KANYE West’s Grammys after-party has been described as being more like a “cult gathering” than a celebration, as fans crowded an old market hall in East Los Angeles.

The rapper caused a scene on the red carpet earlier on Sunday with his wife Bianca Censori who dropped her fur coat and appeared almost naked.

Kanye allegedly hosted a watch party during the ceremony before heading over to his after-party with his longtime pal Justin Laboy, who hosts the podcast The Download.

The event ran from 10 pm until 2 am and insiders told The U.S. Sun it was only fun for die-hard Kanye fans who wanted to be in his presence.

“It was a really young crowd and people were mostly just stood around holding their cell phones trying to video Ye, some people left saying it was whack and not worth staying,” one source said.

“Ye has his interview with Justin projected on a large screen and then played new tracks, it wasn’t really a party atmosphere.

“The only time people were seen dancing was when Bianca sang along to Adele’s Rolling In The Deep.”

Kanye played at least one new track featuring his daughter North West and confirmed in the podcast preview that his new album, Bully, will finally be released on her birthday, June 15.

Kanye was then seen posing for the paparazzi next to his all-chrome Mercedes Maybachs and signing autographs.

At one point, he is said to have hesitated when he was presented with a photograph of him interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the Grammys.

RED CARPET SCENE

He eventually agreed to sign it and appeared happy to be chatting to fans after the party and be back in Los Angeles after spending months in Tokyo, Japan.

Earlier in the night, Bianca wore a completely see-through dress and posed up a storm on the red carpet.

Kanye stood beside her fully clothed in a black t-shirt and jeans with designer shades.

They then quickly left the event and jumped into a limi with security as rumors swirled they’d been kicked out.

A source close to the pair later told The U.S. Sun that they had tickets to the event and just planned to pose for the paparazzi and leave, saying they weren’t forcibly removed.

The official dress code for the venue is “proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times.”

The website adds, “We reserve the right to deny entry to or remove any person wearing attire that we consider inappropriate.”

Bianca, 30, covered up slightly more for the after-party seen in a black sheer thong one-piece as she put on a steamy display licking Kanye and dancing around.

Despite the backlash over Bianca’s red carpet outfit look, Kanye was proud of the look.

He posted a photo of the dress on Instagram and wrote, “Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful woman ever My love my best friend My wife.”

OUTFIT OUTRAGE

He shared 13 photos of his nearly naked spouse in the outfit to X, while Bianca also posted a photo of herself in the dress with Kanye kissing her neck.

The stunt marks the first time Kanye has attended the award show in years, after previously insulting the Recording Academy during one of his many public outbursts.

In September 2020, Kanye furiously slammed the music industry, sharing numerous tweets about the politics of recording contracts.

Alongside the messages, he shared a video that appeared to show him urinating on one of his 21 Grammy awards.

“Trust me … I WON’T STOP,” Kanye wrote alongside the video of the Grammy in the toilet.

Viewers and commenters online were immediately shocked by the look.

“This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen,” one wrote.

“This is bad… actually, this might even be criminal,” another viewer said.

“How is she allowed in public? There are kids around, and she should be mortified,” a third critic commented.

“Ye will do anything for attention. No one cares about him anymore and this is what he pulls. Sad,” one more noted.

Kanye West was ‘desperate’ to pose with Taylor Swift at Grammys: sources

Kanye West was reportedly desperate to get a photo op with Taylor Swift at Sunday night's Grammys.

A well-placed source has told The U.S. Sun that the controversial rapper was asking everyone on the red carpet when Swift was arriving.

“No one wanted to help,” the insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun, ” they didn’t want to create a potentially weird situation.”

“They were quizzing staff about which entrance she was coming to and how she would be getting to her seat,” they added.

“He wanted to try and bump into her and chat in front of the cameras.

“He wanted to chat with Taylor and get some sympathy from the masses again. It didn’t work.”

LEGAL DRAMA

But Bianca wasn’t the only one flashing the flesh on the carpet, with many other stars posing in revealing looks.

Kanye and his wife also almost had a run-in with his ex, Julia Fox, who paired her sheer slip dress with a cropped black leather jacket and boots.

Chrissy Teigen also wore a mesh black dress with paneling and no bra as she posed with her husband John Legend.

Kanye resurfaced in the US last week, his first trip home in six months.

Before coming back to Los Angeles, he was pictured reuniting with his four children with ex Kim Kardashian in Japan.

He dropped by A$AP Rocky’s house and also posed for photos with A$AP Nast in front of an American flag on Instagram.

The rapper has returned to tons of legal drama, as his ex-assistant Lauren Pisciotta is still trying to serve him with a sexual assault lawsuit, while he has not hired a lawyer for several other cases.

It is unclear if he is back home to finally handle his legal issues, or move into his new $25m Beverly Hills mansion.

Kanye and Bianca purchased the property shortly before moving out of their $10,000-a-month West Hollywood apartment.

Curtis sends All Stars fans into frenzy as he recreates his most iconic Love Island moment in heart rate challenge

THE iconic Heart Rate challenge returned to Love Island tonight, with fans overjoyed as the Islanders sizzled around the fire pit.

Curtis Pritchard‘s Heart Rate challenge was the most hotly-anticipated, with the All Stars and viewers being sent into a frenzy.

Recreating his most iconic Love Island moment, Curtis channelled his inner King Julien from Madagascar after his 2019 Heart Rate challenge performance.

Curtis, who is a professional dancer, made quite the impression during his racy performance six years ago.

Viewers compared Curtis to Madagascar’s King Julien after he donned some sparkly pink hot pants and a flamboyant feather headdress.

Compared to the lemur when he first did the Heart Rate challenge all those years ago, Curtis decided to channel King Julien once again.

Rocking some blue shiny shorts, which were tightly fitted and left very little to the imagination, Curtis also rocked a huge feathery headdress in a blue hue.

Thrusting in the girls’ faces, twerking and moving his body seductively, Curtis then knee slid on the floor leaving his co-stars and viewers at home gobsmaked.

“Did that man just knee slide on wood???” asked one person on Instagram.

KING JULIEN 2.0

“Curtis bringing back his King Julian look is so iconic,” penned another.

A third person then said: “Oh god not Curtis in the headdress again.”

“King Julien 2.0. Last time was one of the best reality tv moments ever,” said a fourth.

“Not Curtis dancing in feathers again…..I can’t,” added a fifth.

While a sixth said: “Not Curtis recycling his series costume.”

When Curtis was originally compared to the Madagascar character, he was also fat-shamed – something he opened up about to The Mirror ahead of his All Stars villa stint last month.

MAGIC MIKE VIBES

“I’ve been hitting the gym as much as I possibly can,” he told the paper.

Love Island All Stars 2025 official line-up

Love Island All Stars is back on TV for season 2.

Here we take you through the line-up of all the Islanders who are in the villa so far.

Bombshells

Each series brings with it a string of hot single bombshells making their epic entrance into the villa.

Here’s who has joined the villa so far:

Touching on his original King Julien dance, he said: “I went into it all guns blazing,” unaware of the comments outside.

He added: “I will stay open-minded to things second time round. I think the best way to take Love Island is just go with the flow and not close the door to anything.

“This time I’ll be less King Julien and more Magic Mike. Give me Ginuwine’s Pony to dance to. I’ll be Speedo body ready.”

Watch as Love Island boys run off as Ekin-Su snogs Curtis on the floor in sexiest heart rate challenge yet

TONIGHT’s Love Island All Stars saw Ekin-Su snog Curtis on the floor in a shock moment – as the villa boys ran off.

The fan favourite heart rate challenge returned – with islanders trying to get the opposite gender hot under the collar.

Past winner Ekin-Su pulled out all the stops during her attempt in the challenge.

Dressed in a devil costume, she gave Sammy Root – who is partnered with Elma Pazar – a peck on the lips.

But the real shock came upon passionately snogging Curtis Pritchard on the floor.

The other boys, who had been watching on, even jumped up from their seats and stepped away.

One fan wrote on X: “Curtis and Ekin-su are definitely insane.”

Another added: “Nah Ekin-Su & Curtis are just intense on all levels.”

A third remarked: “Ekin-Su and Curtis REALLY forgetting the entire villa is watching them.

“I’m not sure if the nation is going to recover.”

While a fourth shared: “I’ll laugh if after all of that, Curtis’ heart was racing more for Danielle than Ekin-Su.”

Throughout their time in the villa, the pair have already been on an up and down journey.

It all began Ekin-Su entered the All Stars villa as a bombshell on Day 2.

She and Curtis coupled up and all seemed to go well for a few days.

However, it then appeared as though Curtis had his head turned by bombshell Danielle Sellers.

Bombshells

Each series brings with it a string of hot single bombshells making their epic entrance into the villa.

Here’s who has joined the villa so far:

Despite this, Curtis opted to stay with Ekin-Su at the next recoupling.

Viewers thought it was all a bit forced and one wrote on X: “The producers 100% told Curtis to pick Ekin.”

Another said: “Curtis asking Ekin if she’s shocked and then visibly, but silently crashing out I front of people is certainly… a choice.”

Love Island All Stars continues on ITV2 and ITVX.

New Love Island bombshell Samie Elishi sets her sights on All Star boy to steal saying ‘he’s a bit of me’

NEW Love Island bombshell Samie Elishi has already set her sights on an All Star boy.

Samie, 25, was revealed as a new bombshell during tonight’s episode of Love Island: All Stars, with her already looking to steal one of the hunky guys.

The stunning brunette star shot to fame two years ago in 2023 when she starred in season nine as a bombshell.

She entered the villa on day 14 and placed third in the final on day 58 alongside then-boyfriend Tom Clare.

Revealing who she has set her sights on in the villa, Samie revealed that Brighton hunk Luca Bish is a bit of her.

When asked who she hopes to strike up a romance with, she replied: “Luca,” adding, “I feel like he’s very much a bit of me looks wise and watching him on this series, I like that he’s in touch with his emotional side.”

She went on: “He’s been the voice of reason throughout the whole Villa, I’m always saying ‘thank god someone said that…finally!’.”

Samie was then asked about how she would feel to step on Grace Jackson’s toes – who Luca is coupled up with currently.

“Him and Grace look like they’re going fine, but you can’t believe everything you see,” Samie replied.

“The game is the game, this is what happens.

“If he does have a good thing with Grace and stays with her, then he wasn’t for me,” she said.

STEPPING ON GRACE’S TOES

“She’s a bombshell too so she gets it,” Samie went on, adding, “What will be will be.

“I’m not the deciding factor about it, it’ll be up to Luca at the end of the day.”

Also ahead of her villa stint, she was asked why she wanted to return to Love Island, to which Samie said that she hope’s “second time’s a charm”.

“I want to return because, who gets to do this twice?” she said of her All Stars stint.

“You think it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity, so if you get offered to do it twice, you’ve got to do it again.

Here’s who has joined the villa so far:

‘SECOND TIME’S A CHARM’

“We had such a good time last time, why not! My relationship didn’t work out so hopefully it’s second time’s a charm,” she added.

Samie also revealed what she’s hoping to get out of a potential relationship off the back of her appearance on the hit show.

“I’m 24, going to be 25 soon but as I’m in my mid-twenties I want a nice, fun but secure relationship,” she revealed.

Samie said that she doesn’t want to settle down, have kids and get married “right away”, but added how she wants to find someone to make memories with.

“I want to find someone I can have fun with and make memories with, so settling down will come later for me.

“I’d like someone fun and ambitious and I want to build an empire with my partner,” she said.

Chelsea player ratings: Levi Colwill’s sluggish performance saved by Pedro Neto’s best showing in a Blues shirt

CHELSEA capitalised on the failures of their rivals to move up to fourth in the Premier League with a 2-1 win over West Ham in West London.

Chances came and went for The Blues in the first half, with the two best falling to Noni Madueke and Enzo Fernandez, both of whom missed the target.

And just when it looked to be a half of missed chances, a Levi Colwill backpass rolled straight into the path of Jarrod Bowen who dispatched his shot perfectly into the bottom left corner on his return from injury.

A host of changes from Enzo Maresca upped the tempo in the second half, and they paid dividends with Pedro Neto driving home an equaliser in the 63rd minute after a shot from Enzo Fernandez.

Fans grew optimistic as the home side grew into the game, which culminated in a deflected Cole Palmer effort sending the Bridge into raptures as they went 2-1 up.

Only Spurs have dropped more points from winning positions than Chelsea this season, but they managed to cling onto this one to put them into a Champions League spot once more.

Here is how SunSport’s Lloyd Canfield rated Chelsea’s performance.

Filip Jorgensen – 7

It would’ve been a tough task to disappoint Chelsea fans after what they have seen from Robert Sanchez in recent weeks.

There wasn’t an awful lot he could do about the opener, and actually made some pretty good stops to prevent his side being more than one goal down at the halfway point.

Those saves proved vital, and he should expect to start again against Brighton.

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS

Reece James – 6

His crosses from the right were good throughout the first half, but there was no one clinical enough in the box to grab him an assist.

Strong defensively, but ultimately didn’t have much to do in that aspect with Chelsea dominant on the flanks.

Tosin Adarabioyo – 7

Strong in the air and pretty good across the ground.

Perhaps could’ve done a little more to prevent Bowen opening the scoring as he seemed to stand and watch him shoot, but overall was good and is growing into a good, consistent Premier League centre half.

His vital block in added time might well have been the difference between three points and one.

Levi Colwill – 3

His awful backpass rolled Jarrod Bowen in perfectly to give the Hammers the lead just before first half-time.

A lousy and sluggish performance improved in the second half after his side took the lead, but he was fortunate not to cost his side points tonight.

Marc Cucurella – 7

Inverted well from left back into midfield in a role that looks made for him, he was strong in his tackles and good in the air from start to finish.

Got into dangerous positions going forward, but couldn’t add the finishing touches to his game on this occasion.

Moises Caicedo – 7

Tenacious tackling and energy is what the home fans have become accustomed to seeing from their Ecuadorian destroyer.

Glimpses of that in the first half extended into a mature and controlled second 45 minutes where he looked to have Mo Kudus’ number.

Enzo Fernández – 5

Missed a huge chance to give Chelsea the lead which he rolled past the left hand post from a few yards out.

It was his saved effort which bounced out for Pedro Neto to level the scoring, but overall the Argentine looked a bit off the pace in midfield.

Noni Madueke – 4

Perhaps should’ve had a goal and assist in the first half an hour as he was set up by Nicolas Jackson and put the ball on a plate for Enzo Fernandez, but neither chance was converted.

His best moment of the second half was when he bodied the referee, before being subbed for Christopher Nkunku.

Cole Palmer – 7

A quiet first half had the travelling fans comparing him to Andy Irving, but he soon showed them up.

Almost scored a free-kick similar to the one we saw against Brighton this season, but it was well saved by Areola.

It was his deflected effort that put his side in the lead as he grew into the game more and more.

Jadon Sancho – 4

His quick feet made him a threat on the left hand side in the first half, but again his end product or lack thereof would’ve cost Chelsea if his replacement didn’t bail them out.

Was subbed five minutes into the second half for Pedro Neto.

Nicolas Jackson – 3

Showed some promising signs early on with a good ball into Noni Madueke, who narrowly missed the goal.

Aside from that, he looked like a striker utterly devoid of any confidence and was poor before being hooked for 18-year-old Marc Guiu.

SUBS

Marc Guiu (Nicolas Jackson, 51) – 5

Didn’t really do a lot wrong or right after coming on for Nicolas Jackson.

Certainly looks more confident in the Conference League, but Premier League minutes in the tank will do him good.

Pedro Neto (Jadon Sancho, 51) – 8

His best performance in a Chelsea shirt since he joined.

A composed finish saw him level the scoring before more great work in the build up saw Cole Palmer rifle home a deflected effort.

Great energy, work rate, and end product from Maresca’s own Portuguese magnifico.

Malo Gusto (Reece James, 60) – 6

Was energetic and strong after replacing captain Reece James, also playing a part in the goal that put his side in the lead.

His passing was good and he looked more like the player who became a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge last campaign.

Christopher Nkunku (Noni Madueke, 60) – 5

Did a job for the team out of position on the left hand side in Jadon Sancho’s position.

Not overly effective though, and you feel sorry for him a bit that a player as good as Cole Palmer occupies his best space.

Also looks like a player lacking confidence.

Chelsea 2 West Ham 1: Graham Potter denied fairytale return to Stamford Bridge as Neto and Palmer mount Blues comeback

GRAHAM POTTER was back on familiar territory at Chelsea – to the extent of taking his old seat in the dugout.

Recent changes at Stamford Bridge mean the away technical area was once the home one, and vice versa.

Apart from that things are pretty much the same as when he was sacked in 2023 after seven months, following a run of three wins from eight games and with the team apparently in turmoil.

Last night’s fortunate win for the latest man to inhabit the home dugout is also only the third in the last eight games. An identical run of form almost two years since Potter was axed.

Yet Enzo Maresca is still regarded as the man to take Chelsea forwards and the three points earned at vast expense against West Ham lifts them back into the top four.

Whether they have the gumption to stay there is hugely questionable because at times Maresca had his head in his hands at some of the stuff that passed for football being played by his team.

Chelsea went behind from a defensive clanger, faced an anxious wait for their equaliser to be cleared by VAR, then needed an own goal from Aaron Wan-Bissaka to finally see off opponents who have been struggling for momentum all season.

A win is a win but there are cracks under the surface and there is nowhere to go in the transfer market between now and summer.

Maresca had a relatively quiet day ahead of the 11pm deadline.

His boldest move was to ditch cock-up keeper Robert Sanchez for making one mistake too many and replaced him with understudy Filip Jorgensen.

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS

When the Dane’s name was read out pre-match, the loud cheers from the Matthew Harding Stand showed what the Chelsea fans thought of that decision.

However, the joy was briefly cut short in just the eighth minute when the new man spilled a dangerous cross whipped in by Andy Irving, with Jarrod Bowen bearing down on him in the box.

It was similar at the other moments later when Chelsea broke at speed and Noni Madueke whipped a curling shot just wide of the post.

It’s always odd when two high profile teams meet on transfer deadline day because half the crowd are wondering if there will be any breaking news between kick off and final whistle.

Maresca has not enjoyed this window one bit, labelling it a ‘disaster’ with all the ‘noise’ – the speculation – that surrounds his players in particular as they play for such a busy club.

But those who make the matchday squad know their futures are safe at least. So why Chelsea seemed so edgy in the first half is a question Maresca and his squad needed to answer during the break.

They played the more stylish football of the two, but struggled to find range and direction when it came to the crunch.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea’s deadliest marksman, had a pinpoint free kick tipped over the bar that drew a cracking save from Alphonse Areola.

But he also smacked the strip lights at the top of The Shed with one shot and put another straight into the arms of the Hammers keeper.

Noni Madueke, Jadon Sancho, Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez also narrowly missed – but missed all the same.

Potter’s West Ham have been shuffling along without a recognised striker this year with skipper Jarrod Bowen out having fractured a foot.,

Raring to go, Bowen wasted no time and no chances – gobbling up a dreadful back pass by Levi Colwill to burst clear into the Chelsea box and bend a shot past Jorgensen’s dive at ground level.

Maresca’s team was struggling physically, not just mentally. So much so that he was forced to take off struggling striker Nicolas Jackson and Sancho just six minutes into the second half.

He had used four subs by the hour mark as the Italian desperately plotted to inject some stability into his team that was seriously under the cosh but as much by their own mistakes.

An untidy derby riddled with errors even saw ref Stuart Attwell falling over on the job. And Chelsea’s equaliser was just as scruffy.

Sub Pedro Neto’ cross dropped into the West Ham box and courtesy of the faintest flick on by a visiting defender, hit Chelsea left back Marc Cucurella virtually on the by line.

He managed to knock it back into the path of Fernandez who shot. It was blocked but Neyo scooped up the chance from close range. A lengthy VAR check finally handed Maresca a lifeline. 

Chelsea sealed it with 16 minutes to go when Palmer burst forwards on the wing and squared a low cross which took a huge deflection off Wan-Bissaka and looped over Areola and into the net.
