Important cinema verité artist and State Farm Posterior Policy rep Kim Kardashian is still deflecting jeers about her brief marriage to a large piece of driftwood Nets player Kris Humphries, and now Kanye West's ex-girlfriend has alleged that Kardashian was responsible for their breakup. But buried in the Huffington Post's copy in the article about Amber Rose is a tantalizing typo: "She also accuses Kim of cheating on her then-boyfriend, Reggie Watts, by sending Kanye a litany of salacious messages and photos."

Reggie Watts has really blown up since we first caught his mesmerizing alt-comedy/performance art/music hybrid as part of the Under the Radar Festival. In the past two years he's performed to increasingly packed rooms, released his first live DVD, and toured as the opening act for Conan O'Brien's comedy tour.

Watts prods his subjects obliquely while relating some wildly fantastic stories about secret underground grottos and science fiction camouflage suits like those found in Predator. Mixed with these hilarious monologues, he’s produced a series of bemusing promotional videos for a friendly/sinister corporation called Carnaidesai, a company with a vague purpose but one portentous mission statement: “There’s not much future left, but we’re using all of it!” more ›
