Kanye didnt beg her ... he did probably pay her though.

Whatever the cover of a crap magazine I read not, so be it, but they named their daughter North West?? Hope they're not surprised when the bullying starts.

The popularity and celebrity of the Kardashian klan is a total mystery to me. Smith, don't think bullying is a problem even if the name is ridiculous - chance of NW going to any type of school where it might happen is zero.

I agree, it's not her fault that she has 2 idiotic parents. And sadly, AKB is right, the girl probably won't be bullied in fact, she might get a lot of notoriety because of who her parents are, living in California, you can have the oddest name and pretty much people would just be like..."whatever." As long as people are interested in these stupid celebs and gossip sites and worried about how these people conduct their lives, we will always have the Kardashian's, the West's, the Bieber's, the Lohan's and on and on in our lives until people wake up and don't give these people the time of day.

If they really had guts they would have called their daughter North by North. nice Hitchcockian cultural reference.

Who seriously cares or has the time to care about this?

Why is this even news??? If this was in a tabloid or a gossip magazine, I understand it though.

Wintour should have said, "this is a business and although Kanye is a real douche and Kim is only famous because of her sex tape, they will sell lots of magazines. As for you who thought this publication was different from cheap gossip rags, pffff."

At least I would have a modicum of respect for telling the truth.

No matter the complaint, it still comes off as elitist bull.

Wintour disagreed, writing in her editor’s letter inside the April edition that “part of the pleasure of editing Vogue… is being able to feature those who define the culture at any given moment, who stir things up, whose presence in the world shapes the way it looks and influences the way we see it.”

Give me a break. What "we see" nowadays is ability of the modern media to make talentless people famous.

Kanye West - Hip Hop Maestro? Wrong!! One of the worst rappers around. He's not a Jay-Z, Doctor Dre or Eminem. Kim will divorce this guy like she did the rest....as soon as the checks stop rolling in.

This is definitely important world news. I must say that the photographer tried his or her best.

What? Being the only person in history to be called a jackass by the President of the United States doesn't count for something? Come on now!

As for the photo, I don't get it. It's probably the first the photo of Kim Kardashian I've seen that doesn't show her over-sized ass. That's the whole point of her right? Is there anything else of interest?

To make it worse, the kid has a nickname... Nori. Yep, seaweed.

They're surreal alright, like a nightmare you can't wake up from.

Canye West, Kim Cardashian LMAO Jayzzee who looks like Joe Camel on the carton of Camel cigarette and Beyonce all are fakes!! Kim has a lard arse, Kanye jaws look like he swallowed a harp and Beyonce needs lipo suction on her legs!! Lots of cellulose! None of these people deserve the spot light. Sorry for the harsh words but I am tired of reading about their boasting!

AKBFan: "chance of NW going to any type of school where it might happen is zero."

I think you kind of defeated your own argument by calling her NW instead of her real name. Don't you? Oh, she'll be bullied... perhaps not in a violent nature, but the poor girl will have to live her whole life with the names the twits who spawned her thought they were 'lyrical geniuses' to create.

Christ, what next, AKB48 on the cover?

I rather doubt that either have seen the movie and may not even know who Hitchcock was.

Don't go giving any ideas to the editors of the Japanese edition of Vogue

Guess she just had to make sure in case anyone missed the moment when Vogue magazine finally jumped the shark. Been a nice 120 years, Anna, but it's probably time to throw in the towel before cringing takes over for shrugs.

There's a market, an audience, people who want to watch others. Who actually reads this? I don't. No matter who is on the cover. It is really hard, but I have to work at trying not to utter the names of pop culture icons force fed to the public on TV, magazines, train adverts, the Internet, elsewhere. What is hard is trying to have conversations about government policies, real thinkers, books, anything intellectual in this country or my own. Why would people choose to talk about this type of thing ad nauseum instead of decisions being made that are threatening the very world we live in; the one we leave to our children? I don't get it. I don't care about them. Would anyone buy a fashion magazine with a dressed up impoverished couple on the cover? Perhaps one that has no money to buy food for their baby or vaccines?
