Kim Kardashian tearfully tells Kanye West his ‘personality wasn't like this' in new documentary: 'I would rather be dead than be on medication'
As expected, the trailer for Kanye West 's upcoming documentary In Whose Name? is passionate and confrontational. At the beginning of the video, the rapper revealed he had been off his medication for five months. The footage shows the 48-year-old pacing around a circle of Yeezy sneakers, seemingly from his 2019 Forbes cover shoot. A string of tense and emotional moments follow, including one in which he closes a door bearing Kim Kardashian's name while she sobs, telling him his personality had not been that way just a few years earlier. The trailer also features a picture of Kanye and his 11-year-old daughter, North, riding in the back of a car before he snaps, 'Never tell me I'm gonna wake up one day and have nothing.' In another exchange, Kim begins, 'We can talk about that later, but—' before Kanye cuts her off, saying, 'It ain't no but!' Directed by Nico Ballesteros, the documentary chronicles six years of Kanye's life — from public breakdowns, brand fallouts, and ongoing mental health struggles to his 2020 presidential campaign, which included the rally in South Carolina where he claimed he and Kim nearly aborted their daughter. In the teaser, Kanye says, 'I would rather be dead than be on medication... Either they destroy me or I destroy it.' He also declares, 'They're killing our ability to think outside the box,' and concludes, 'You know the best thing about being an artist and bipolar? Anything you do and say is an art piece. ' According to the film's synopsis, 'This began as silent observation and evolved into a profound journey of artistic and personal growth. (Ballesteros) bore witness to brilliance and breakdowns, triumphs and turmoil, but also observed the paranoia and intensity that increasingly shaped Ye's world.' 'For a shy kid,' Nico explains, 'the camera became both a window and a shield — a way to channel my introspection while still engaging with the world. Ye has always had someone filming him too, a lens between him and the noise.' Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he added, 'Maybe that's why we understood each other without saying much.' A statement about the project says the title 'examines the evolving nature of idolatry, both in Ye's cultivation of public idolatry and in his pursuit of various idols, from luxury brands and celebrity to faith and family.'

Harvey Weinstein digging into old Hollywood deals to find funds for soaring legal costs: Report
Convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein is desperately looking to pay his legal bills that have hit the 'tens of millions', an insider has claimed, adding that the disgraced film producer is now going through his movie contracts from jail to check if any payments are pending. Harvey Weinstein has already been convicted of a criminal sex act against one woman and acquitted on another charge(AP) A report by Page Six claimed that a source revealed that Weinstein has racked up "tens of millions" of legal bills and "could use the money" to pay those. The Miramax co-founder filed a lawsuit recently alleging he's owed $2.3 million by his former partners in the 2015 Broadway musical, 'Finding Neverland.' 'Finding Neverland,' a stage adaptation of the Weinstein Company film about the creator of 'Peter Pan,' starred Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet in its movie version. The musical enjoyed a 17-month Broadway run before embarking on a national tour. Weinstein has already been convicted of a criminal sex act against one woman and acquitted on another charge, and is still appealing a 2022 sexual assault conviction in Los Angeles, where he received a 16-year prison sentence. He continues to deny all allegations against him. He's also facing a third retrial on a third-degree rape charge from 2013. The report quoted a source, revealing that Weinstein told his attorney Robert J Hantman that while he was in jail, "he had time to go over old deals and realised that the co-producers owe him money." In court papers filed on August 5, Weinstein claims he was promised $5,750 per week for the musical and 'a share of Net Profits equal to' 27.5% under an agreement that was never finalised. According to the Hollywood Reporter, he also asserts that he still owns half of the show and accuses his partners of keeping 'an unauthorised payment' he values at $4.6 million, of which he says $2.3 million rightfully belongs to him. The defendants, NETworks Presentations and National Artists Management Company, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
