I usually don't comment on stuff like this, but I guess it is "entertainment". According to several tweets from audience members at Kanye West's Revel Atlantic City show, he has officially announced that his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, is pregnant.
This is something that Kim wanted for so long, and I would assume waited on "Mr. Right" to come along and make that donation. Kanye seems to be the right one to make that donation, as he's been lusting over Kim for years, even while in relationships with former girlfriends, Alexis Phifer, and Amber Rose. If you didn't know, both ex-girlfriends tell stories of Kanye looking at images of Kim online and even receiving texts and e-mails from her while they both were in relationships. Seemed like they both loved the attention they gave to one another, regardless of who they were dating at the time. Kanye seems to be the perfect dude for Kim, as he loves just as much attention as she does. They are the perfect match for one another when traveling down the road of wanting attention.
Without the cameras, who would Kim Kardashian be? Where would she be in life? Granted, she is the daughter of a deceased high-powered attoney, and she lived next door to stars and celebrities her entire life, and she even was a stylist for Brandy and her family, before the sex tape drop with Ray J. But before being seen out with Nick Lachey and Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian only claim to any sort of fame was being sued by Brandy's mother for credit card fraud. So, without piggybacking off of other famous people, where would she be today? On the other hand, Kanye is a music producer, musician, designer, and who knows what else he has in the works; but his flaw seems to be falling for woman who are loose; and we all know Kim's dating history.
It's plain and SIMPle to see that Kanye loves this girl for her looks, her earning potential, and on top of that, the ease of getting with her. She more than likely makes more than any of his past women, but the key here is, what is her personality like? Granted, living in the world that they live in makes people of status seem "fake", but he lives in that world as well, so whatever her personality may be, he likes it, so none of us can judge him on that. For all we assume about her personality based on reality television and her interviews, she's a shallow individual, motorized by the fame, attention, money, and more attention given upon her by the flashing bulbs of the paparazzi, media, magazine, and E! Entertainment. But we all know that she makes money for doing nothing but breathing, she's got body, and she's easy. If you are someone of status, and you show her some attention, you got her for as long as you want to keep her. Kanye has done just that, shown her the attention she craves, controls her (such as throwing out her entire wardrobe and replacing it with what he wants her to wear), and he will benefit from it in the long run; piggybacking off what avenue of media presents her with exposure and a check. So he'll get everything back that he puts in, plus more. But in doing so, cashing in on immediate exposure and pay out, could cost him in the long run........
Now that Kim is pregnant, it will be a matter of time before her mother and manager, Kris Jenner, will try to fill every lane to expose the pregnancy to make money. Whether it be a maternity clothing line, to a television show exclusive to just following Kim around to her doctor's visits and eventual delivery, to the selling of the first baby photos, Kris Jenner will look for a way to profit from this event. Yes, I call this an event, because the reality media and even some "reputable" news networks will report on this pregnancy as much as they will talk about the looming "fiscal cliff" and thereafter consequences of a deal being made or not to save the country from an apparent financial ruin. Everything the Kardashians do, Kris Jenner, will try to profit from it, and I doubt that Kanye is that shallow to allow that to happen.

As stated earlier, Kanye is down with cashing in on his relationship with Kim, to an extent. Some things are left to be sacred, and if he's still human, he doesn't need to sell off baby pictures to get attention and money. But who knows, I don't know Kanye, and I don't know the Kardashians, but the track record speaks for itself, and I won't put it past the baby pictures being sold, or at least a public or leaked fight/disagreement between Kris and Kanye about the pictures being sold. This is what greed leads to. We'll all eventually see what the baby looks like, so there is no need to buy a magazine to see what the baby looks like.
So once the cameras stop rolling, the flash bulbs stop popping, and the looks and booty start to fade and sag, where does that leave Kim? Oh, she's got a multi-millionaire's child, so she's set no matter what. Kanye will continue to make money, even without providing his vocals on another song. He's a talented producer, song writer, designer, etc; so he'll always be in demand in some avenue of music and entertainment. And if they were to ever break up after the eventual marriage, if she ever gets divorced from Kris Humphries, she's going to get a big payout from Kanye; but that's the big business of it all. This is a show I will not be watching, and probably will not be keeping track off voluntarily.
So good luck and congratulations. I hope the love is real, because that baby sure is....
