Kanye West's 'Famous' video features naked, wax likenesses of Taylor Swift, Caitlyn Jenner

 
Rapper Kanye West's latest music video "Famous' features the naked, wax likenesses of celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Bill Cosby, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Caitlyn Jenner and Donald Trump.

Also seen in the enormous bed with West and his reality TV star wife Kim Kardashian are doppelgangers for West's ex-girlfriend Amber Rose, Kardashian's ex-boyfriend Ray J., former President George W. Bush and Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

West unveiled the video in front of thousands of fans -- and his wife and in-laws -- at The Forum in Inglewood Friday night. The clip was then released on the Tidal streaming service.

"It's not in support or anti any of [the people in the video]," West insisted to Vanity Fair. "It's a comment on fame."

 The performer said he was influenced by Matthew Barney, the artist known for his use of living sculptures, as well as by the work of American realist painter Vincent Desiderio.

People magazine said West taunted the celebrities he incorporated in "Famous" by writing the since-deleted Tweet, "Can somebody sue me already #I’ll wait."

A representative for Caitlyn Jenner -- Kardashian's transgender, former step-father -- said to Entertainment Weekly Jenner had nothing to say about the video.

An aide for Bush told Us Weekly, "That's not him."

"Why I got to have the plumbers butt/ crack showing WAX figure?" Brown mused on Instagram, alongside a screenshot of him in the video, lying between Swift and his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

Guess who is talking with Cleveland Cavaliers...Dwayne Wade!

 Imagine an NBA defence trying to stop a driving Kyrie Irving and Dwayne Wade , while LeBron James is free to roam in and out of the paint. Although somewhat far-fetched, the possibility is not out of the question.   Despite being offered the $20 million annually he was seeking, from the Miami Heat , Wade is chatting up the Cleveland Cavaliers . Huffington Post sports columnist Jordan Schultz reported the news. "League source: Dwayne Wade in preliminary talks with #Cavs to reunite with LeBron. Talks still early," Schultz tweeted. Wade, 34, is scheduled to meet with the Milwaukee Bucks Wednesday. There could be bad blood between the 12-time All-Star and the organization he has spent 13 seasons with. His wife, Gabrielle Union, alluded to that with a tweet last week saying: "When u waiting for a text/email/skywriting and nada... thanks for being crystal clear." The Heat was silent with Wade as it pursued free agent big-fish Kevin...
