As if 13 members in a band weren’t enough, it seems like we now have a new band with approximately 17 members!
Under TGN Entertainment, a new boy band will emerge with the name 20star. With 17 or so members (the numbers have been wavering from source to source), we know that this will be the biggest idol group in Korean pop to date!

Kanye West Joins Twitter, Raps for Facebook

Kanye West is now on Twitter, and if you've read his blog, don't worry -- the ALL CAPS style is nowhere to be seen. Even better news is that he's already dishing scoops on his feed, telling fans his forthcoming album will no longer be called 'Good Ass Job' as once expected. "I'm bouncing a couple of titles around now," the 33-year-old rapper tweeted.

Within hours of his first tweet, West had racked up nearly 40,000 followers. He started out the day with some grammatically fast-and-loose tweets -- "Up early in the morning taking meetings in Silicone Valley" and a quick correction, "Lol I spelled Silicon wrong ( I guess I was still thinking about the other type of silicone ITS A PROCESS!! : )."

Read on to see Kanye's visit to Facebook HQ in Palo Alto, where he performed new raps a cappella on ... a conference table?
