I guess what bugs me about it -- is why do they have to make everything public? OK, he surprised her -- nice -- but why announce it?

That makes me continue to feel that everything is done for a reason -- PR.

That's the type of thing wealthy people do. Whatever he charged, was chump change to Kanye.

Well, of course.. The entire wedding weekend was all about publicity for everyone involved. Even the the countries involved. I thought everyone understood that.

I think the thing that bothers me most is that you never see her out with the baby - there have been a few pictures but I am sure they were arranged for publicity. I'm sure she purposely got pregnant to ensure financial security - primarily for herself.

There are grandstander look at me type people at every economic level. Brides go into debt to have a "show stopper" wedding with dozens bridesmaids. The more money available the bigger the show. At least in KK's case, they make their money based on public interest so their wedding is actually an investment and, by the way, paid rather than financed.

Sounds like a nice touch. He is a wonderful singer. No reason for him to turn the gig down. Singing for money is what he does.

I'm sure Bocelli is very well off but probably not as rich as those two.

I'm surprised Bocelli took this gig. Seems like it's beneath him but maybe he needs the check.

Maybe you you should stop living your life vicariously through the rich and famous, as well as wishing misfortune on those who are better off than you.

Mr. Kanye West had a wonderful Italian tenor sing as his future bride walked up the aisle. So What, he can afford it. Mr, Andrea Bocelli sang at a wealthy couples wedding, how does that equate to, "needing the check?"

Had either party consulted you as to what should be done or what would be remunerated? Although I am not fans of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, and a fan of Andrea Bocelli's, what they do has no bearance on my existence.

Nobody is wishing anyone misfortune or 'living' through the people in question. Perhaps you need to find someone else to scold.

Yes SydneyH, that person would be you.

ITA

And, done for their "Keeping Up With The Kardshians" show. The actual wedding ceremony won't be shown, from what I've heard, but all the lead up will be a huge draw for the show.

I'm sure they'll use it for the season finale episode(s).

ka-ching!
