Nas
There's something to be said for subtlety, Nas.

Life as a Kardashian is full of tiers.
Wiz Kalifa
"Sorry, Wiz Khalifa, but they were all out of pot brownies!"
Chris Brown
How cute. Chris Brown is still trying to make sure we know that he's famous.
Snookie
Snooki's birthday cake came with condoms included, because every bite was infused with a heaping spoonful of STDs. Also, fresh pickle juice.
Trey Songz
Imagine if this was the most ass Trey Songz has gotten since he dropped "Bottoms Up."
Snoop Dogg
Snoop wanted to alert the ladies at the party that his shoes are big. Which clearly means he has also has big... Bakery bills.

Vashtie
Vashtie couldn't get her hands on a real pair of Air Yeezy kicks, so she settled for the second best thing.
