Kanye West‘s attempts to turn residents in the Chicagoland area into burger lovers has failed.

West’s company, KW Foods, LLC, developed 10 Fat Burger restaurants in the region, but after a year and a half of doing burger business, the first of the restaurants has already closed due to financial performance.

Did West not pick up on the trend that Americans are just not that into meat anymore?

Kanye West made a fool of himself when photos of him wearing a long mink coat were posted online, launching a tirade from Twitter users.

Joanna Krupa had a lot more to say than 140 characters, and she started by telling Fox411.com, “If Kanye is wearing a real fur coat — and that’s what it looks like — then I think he’s a man without heart, soul or any common sense.”

If Kanye West were around Taylor Swift when she was recently in Australia, he would have grabbed the mic, pushed her out the way and yelled, “Taylor, you’re a really great singer and all, but this spot’s reserved for someone who knows how to treat wildlife.”

Swift made a post on her Twitter about “wild possum feeding,” which drew criticism from a Department of Sustainability and Environment spokesman.

“We know people who feed wild animals often have the best intentions and that it is attractive to tourists who want to interact with Australian wildlife,” he said, according to the Herald Sun.

“However, DSE advises people not to feed wild animals…it can disrupt their natural behaviour and it can cause some animals to lose their natural fear of people, making them vulnerable to attack.”

Of course, one hopes Taylor’s Twitter post meant she really did have the best intentions of feeding the possum–and not feeding on them.

Normally, this would be saved as a Fur Real or Fur Fake, but with Kanye West ‘s history of fur lovin’, what’s the point of even asking.

He and girlfriend Amber Rose attended the Louis Vuitton Fashion Show dressed to kill–even though something already looked dead.

When he and Amber attended another fashion show by the vegetarian Stella McCartney, Kanye kept asking where the fur fashions were.

Duh!

Vegetarian singer Pink responded by saying, “There are so many people who I think are a waste of skin and he’s up there. I should wear him. Go on, donate yourself Kanye. People can wear your fur.”

Pink got political during her sold out show at the Patriot Center in the D.C. area recently and gave a shout out to First Lady Michelle Obama.

“Let’s get political for a second,” Pink said. “Since we’re near D.C., I have to give a shout-out to Michelle Obama, who has announced that she is officially fur-free. I love an animal-lovin’ first lady!”

Pink then began singing her Dear Mr. President song, which describes her questions about politics.

Better to be on Pink’s good side when it comes to animal hides because if you remember correctly, she had a few different choice of words when describing Kanye West and fur.

You heard the horrible story of how Kanye West grabbed the mic from Taylor Swift‘s hand and totally stole the spotlight while she was giving her acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

Everybody’s got their opinion, including president Barack Obama.

After calling Kanye a “jackass,” Obama realizes his statement is going to be all over Twitter in 24 hours, and he jokingly says this act will bring similar scrutiny like his fly swatting incident that PETA drew attention to.

Obama’s not the only one who thinks Kanye’s a jerk. His fur loving ways have gotten him in trouble with other people.

Listen to the clip below cause there’s nothing more hilarious than the pres calling someone a donkey.

It’s no secret Pink is quite vocal about her opinions on fur and the people who wear it. (She once said that Kanye West would make a good coat after he professed his love for animal hide.)

She’s also helped with anti-fur campaigns with animal rights groups.

Now, Pink wants an entirely different campaign, aimed at the self-esteem of fur wearers: You don’t look cute, fashionable, or sexy…You just look fat!

And there’s no “ph” in front of that either, girlfriend.

“The whole animal welfare and cruelty side of wearing fur is clearly not working because some people still insist on wearing it,” Pink was quoted as saying.

“So I think we should have a new campaign with the message – fur makes you look fat. That is probably the only thing these people care about so let’s go for that. You look terrible in that. It makes you gain 15 or 20 lbs. That will do the trick.”

What do you think? Can Pink’s campaign have people dropping pounds of mink faster than a fad diet?

The fur’s about to fly between singer Pink and Kanye West.

Kanye showed less than good manners while attending a fashion show hosted by vegetarian designer Stella McCartney when he insisted on talking about fur. Oh, and did we mention, Stella’s vegetarian dad, Paul McCartney and PETA vice president Dan Matthews were present too? Don’t forget that Pink is also vegetarian.

Smooth, Kanye. Real smooth.

“Kanye West is the person p**sing me off right now,” Pink said. 

“I was at Stella McCartney’s Paris fashion show with the vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Paul McCartney and Kanye West.”

“The entire time Kanye is going, ‘They need more fur in this show’. He just wouldn’t shut up about how he loved fur. I mean, he’s saying this to me, the PETA guy and Paul McCartney! I was just so grossed out by him. I’m like, ‘You’re an idiot!’”

And who wants a Kanye pelt?

“There are so many people who I think are a waste of skin and he’s up there. I should wear him. Go on, donate yourself Kanye. People can wear your fur.”
