Kanye Visited Occupy Wall Street In Givenchy Plaid & Balmain Jeans by Julia Rubin \| 6:44 pm, October 10th, 2011 Today is the day Kanye went on down to join the 99% (of which he’s not a part, despite having taken out loans recently) at Occupy Wall Street. He wore plaid. Givenchy plaid. The rapper paired his $355 shirt with what we believe are Balmain jeans, as well as man bracelets and the Yeezy-not-Weezy necklace he debuted at his Paris fashion show. The internet also reports Kanye was sporting a gold grill, but we know those are just his (permanent) gold and diamond crowns. RELATED: An In-Depth Investigation Of Kanye West’s Diamond Teeth ‘Ye attended the protest with his buddy Russell Simmons, who described the experience to Global Grind (yes, the blog he owns): “It was amazing to see how people loved seeing Kanye West at Occupy Wall Street. His music and his art has always been about the voice and the power of the people. Kanye just wanted to come down and experience the growing movement that has opened the eyes of many around this country and around the world of the struggles of poor people. The energy at Liberty Plaza was electrifying and the momentum to get the money out of politics is growing quickly.” So, yeah, that happened. And apparently people really didn’t mind having the famous 1%-ers around for a bit. RELATED: Kanye Goes Fashion Show Shopping, Spends $22,000 On Fabric (1 of 5) Next ?

Steve Jobs Biography Reveals He Told Obama, 'You're Headed For A One-Term Presidency' Jobs' Meeting With Obama First Posted: 10/20/11 06:07 PM ET Updated: 10/20/11 06:48 PM ET http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/20/steve-jobs-biography-obama_n_1022786.html?ir=Politics Jobs, who was known for his prickly, stubborn personality, almost missed meeting President Obama in the fall of 2010 because he insisted that the president personally ask him for a meeting. Though his wife told him that Obama "was really psyched to meet with you," Jobs insisted on the personal invitation, and the standoff lasted for five days. When he finally relented and they met at the Westin San Francisco Airport, Jobs was characteristically blunt. He seemed to have transformed from a liberal into a conservative. "You're headed for a one-term presidency," he told Obama at the start of their meeting, insisting that the administration needed to be more business-friendly. As an example, Jobs described the ease with which companies can build factories in China compared to the United States, where "regulations and unnecessary costs" make it difficult for them. Jobs also criticized America's education system, saying it was "crippled by union work rules," noted Isaacson. "Until the teachers' unions were broken, there was almost no hope for education reform." Jobs proposed allowing principals to hire and fire teachers based on merit, that schools stay open until 6 p.m. and that they be open 11 months a year.
