New power couple alert: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

New power couple alert: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

Reports say these two are more than just friends

Well, well, well: Me thinks they did indeed protest too much. After much speculation, and months worth of rumors, today the world learns the truth: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are apparently dating. Are you shocked? Nah, I think many of us suspected these two had a thing for each other, but what I am surprised about is how forthcoming Kanye West is in this new song.

In "Theraflu," Kanye West flat out says it: He loves Kim. Now of course, this could be another Kim Kardashian, right? That doesn't seem very likely. A closer look at the lyrics to "Theraflu" definitely points to it being Kim K. It seems Mr. West has been carrying a torch for Kim for quite some time now. Kim and Kanye have long maintained that they're just buddies, but now, it seems their relationship is blooming into much more.First, the headline: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are dating. If that doesn't set the tabloids on their collective ear, I don't know what will. TMZ broke the story on Thursday morning, quoting sources as saying that the whole Kim and Kanye thing is "just starting." Apparently, the new couple hit the movies last night in New York, seeing The Hunger Games (good choice). No word if they had the whole "new relationship" night out, dinner AND a movie, but probably so.

Now, let's discuss this new Kanye West song, "Theraflu," shall we? After reading the lyrics, there's no doubt in my mind that he's got a major thing for Kim Kardashian -- and he's had this "thing" for a while. I submit to you, dear readers, as evidence, these "Theraflu" lyrics:

And I admit I fell in love with Kim
Around the same time she fell in love with him
Well that's cool baby girl, do your thing
Lucky I ain't had Jay drop him from the team.


It's all there in the first two lines: Kanye fell in love with Kim K while she was with...you guessed it, Kris Humphries! What gets me is that last line, about not having Jay-Z "drop him from the team." I strongly suspect he's talking about the fact that Jay-Z, as a part-owner of the New Jersey Nets, didn't "drop" Kris Humphries (who played for the Nets while he was with Kim).

So far, no comment from Kim K. or Kanye about this tabloid bombshell, but I bet we'll hear much more about the story in the next few days and weeks. 2012's first super-power couple: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West!
