Us Weekly broke the news a few weeks ago that Kanye West was interning at the Gap, where he pined away until midnight, soaking up knowledge and real-world fashion-industry experience like the good little nonsensical, construction-worker-Timberland-wearing sponge he is. Then a wily public-relations person tore through the media, denying the reports, which was sad, because we had begun to imagine Kanye as a 'design beast' for not just Louis Vuitton customers and sneaker freaks, but the Everyman and the Everyman's chinos. Finally, through Gap, we felt like we could relate to Kanye. But now, the story is back in the Chicago Tribune, which reports that Kanye is interning at Gap's headquarters in Manhattan, working side-by-side with his buddy creative director Patrick Robinson. Friends don't let friends intern for administrative assistants.
