Kanye West showed a picture of his daughter North West today on The Kris Jenner Show..If you thought Kanye just hated the paparazzi because he was being extra, well, that’s only part of it. The run-ins all stem from him being an overprotective new dad to baby North West and his new family. Kanye’s interview with Kris Jenner on her “Kris” show today revealed a few things we didn’t know: Just how deep his obsession with joining the Kardashian family really runs, his super sweet romantic side, how Kim & her fam have changed his life, and why it was so hard finding love after his mom died. Oh, and he’s now getting closer with his dad who was an esteemed photo journalist. Here are the highlights: On falling in love with Kim Kardashian upon first sight The first time we met, she was in the studio and was Brandy’s assistant. She brought us something to drink–something you can’t drink on daytime TV. She came to the video me & Brandy were doing. And I asked my manager, “Who’s that girl right there?” He said, “Who, Kim?”
Love at first sight? “Oh yeah, definitely. I remember seeing pics of her like out with Paris Hilton and asking my friends, “You ever seen Kim Kar-da-jan–I couldn’t pronounce it.”
On finally meeting Kim I had this TV show I was working on that had all these puppets around it. And we were doing this skit where I was playing a Star Wars character. And I wanted her to play Princess Lea because she was my dream girl. She came to the show and I remember being so nervous around her and so in awe because she was in front of me. I was in love with her before I even got to talk to her. On finding love after his mother died Since my mom passed, it was very difficult to find love. It’s hard for anybody to find love, esp. if you’re famous. Or polarizing.I’m definitely romantic. Because I’m an artist. i like surprises, I like to sweep someone off their feet….After I lost my mother, I felt like I would put my life at risk. I felt like I didn’t have anything to live for. Now I have two special people to live for. A whole family to live for. On being the ultimate romantic (and his custom Zanotti shoes for Kim) We went to Rome, went to Florence, went to Remini, Italy. people said why would you go to Remini? A friend of mine, Giuseppe Zanotti, has a factory out there. So I brought her there. I sat there and we sketched out shoes for her that Zanotti made from scratch and he sent her the shoes in like 2 weeks. So she got to pick out her own Zanottis.
On his obsession with joining the Kardashian family years before he started dating Kim Kris revealed an example of a pic where Kanye photoshopped himself into the annual Kardashian Christmas Card (which he did often). Kanye said, “I just dreamed about being next to her….I don’t want to start jumping up and down on the couch or anything.” On being a dad and protecting North from the paparazzi The thing I think about as a dad is just protection. That’s my only goal is to protect my daughter. That’s my instinct.
A big thing that plagues us is this idea of the paparazzi chasing a 5 year old around and screaming at them. For me I’m supposed to be this musical genius. But I can’t even work the car seat that well. I’m embarrased in front my girl that I can’t work the car seat. What if I can’t work the car seat when all these paparazzi are hounding us and then they take pics of me not being able to do it correctly….then the pics end up on 20 media outlets then 20,000 people come after me like “You can’t work the car seat!” So it has me waking up in a cold sweat and trying to learn about the carseat at 3AM. On why Kanye decided to reveal North on the show We have not attempted to get paid from a magazine. To stop all the noise, I thought it would be really cool that on her grandmother’s season finale to bring a picture of North. On being annoyed with people and paparazzi using the couple for money and a come up (he didn’t address whether he felt Kim did this herself & participated in this to get to where she is) There’s so many people who are only around you to make money off of you…..I’m going to talk to the Mayor of LA and the Mayor of NYC about zoning. There have to be parameters around places like schools.
On what it’s like living with The Jenner/Kardashian clan I think…it’s interesting. Just as a creative guy, I would have my apt. in New York and be a bachelor. It was super minimal, just one plant somewhere. But here, it’s something everywhere and a lot of noise. But now I’m used to it. When I’m out, I try to get home early just to get home to my family.
(Then Kris chimed in about missing Kanye when he leaves for business trips and constantly asking when he’s coming back.)

A legend known to cinephiles the world over, a major work of the silent era, one of the most monumental restorations in the history of filmmaking will be unveiled on May 14 as a world premiere: Napoléon by Abel Gance (1st period), in a version resulting from a colossal, passionate effort by the Cinémathèque française, with the support of the CNC.
It has taken more than sixteen years to bring Abel Gance’s masterwork back to life. The film-opera extravaganza has gone through an epic saga to regain its integrity and glory.
Various sources were used to rediscover the original storyline for this extraordinary reconstruction of the 7-hour film, divided into two eras. Reels were found at the Cinémathèque française, the CNC, the Cinémathèque de Toulouse and the Cinémathèque de Corse, as well as in Denmark, Serbia, Italy, Luxembourg and New York. Georges Mourier and his team worked frame-by-frame and reviewed nearly 100 kilometers of film. Director Abel Gance’s editing notes and correspondence with his editor, found at the BNF, made it possible to re-edit the film in its original version.

In 1927, Napoléon by Abel Gance was as ambitious as its subject: it used multiple technical and aesthetic innovations such as horse-mounted cameras and the famous triptych ending, on three screens simultaneously. With its grandiose cast and thousands of extras, the film amazed audiences and critics alike when it premiered at the Paris Opera on April 7, 1927, in the presence of French President Gaston Doumergue and Marshals Foch and Joffre. It then embarked on a world tour.
With the advent of talking pictures, the reels were scattered across the globe, some lost or destroyed. The film was then recut and mutilated many times over — with 22 different versions known to date. In the 1980s, Abel Gance’s film fascinated filmmakers Claude Lelouch and Francis Ford Coppola, as well as the great silent historian Kevin Brownlow and Costa-Gavras, President of the Cinémathèque française. It has not been shown in its original version, known as the “Grande Version”, since 1927.
The first part, with a running time of 3 hours and 40 minutes, will be presented as the pre-opening event at the Festival de Cannes and as the opening film of Cannes Classics.

The film will then be shown in its entirety with an exceptional live performance of the film score, with 250 musicians from Radio France at the Seine Musicale in Paris on July 4 and 5, as well as at the Radio France festival in Montpellier, and then at the Cinemathèque française and in summer festivals. It will be released in French cinemas at a later date and will be shown on France Télévisions and Netflix.
The Festival de Cannes is proud to be the venue for the rebirth of Napoléon by Abel Gance, a monument of the 7th Art, almost 100 years after its creation.
Reconstructed and restored by the Cinémathèque française, with the support of the CNC (French Ministry of Culture), under the direction of Georges Mourier, with the Éclair Classics/L’Image Retrouvée laboratory. Musical setting by Simon Cloquet-Lafollye, performed by Benjamin Bernheim, tenor, the Orchestre National de France, the Orchestre Philharmonique and the Chœur de Radio France, conducted by Fabien Gabel.
