Kanye West is expanding into television. The hit producer has signed a deal to bring a new show to Comedy Central that is being described as hip hop meets the Muppets. The half-hour show, called "Alligator Boots" is from Jackhole Prods., the production company founded by Jimmy Kimmel, Daniel Kellison and Adam Carolla. The new show is set for 2009 and will feature music produced/performed by Kanye and Rhymefest, who are also executive producers. Kanye will host the pilot, with the idea of having a different celebrity guest host each week.

In related news, Kanye is having problems in other areas of show business. Spike Lee says he wrote a script that would be great for Kanye West and Alicia Keys saying "The film takes place at the same college but 25 years later, but the powers that be didn't want to tell that story. It was gonna have Kanye in it and Alicia Keys." The problem? The film was supposed to be in progress already but has been shelved due to lack of funding.

Kanye West is finally confirming some of the details of his new album, 808s & Heartbreak. First Kanye thanked everyone for making his new single "Love Lockdown" saying “HEY THANX EVERYONE,” the topic of Kanye's newest blog stated, “PRETTY DOPE FOR THE FIRST DAY!!!” Kanye expressed his excitement saying “While approving the final cut for the ‘Love Lockdown’ vid, I marvel at the fact that it was written less than 3 weeks ago,” he wrote. “I’m very excited about the everything…”

Kanye did address the recent 50 Cent concert [watch here] where the G-Unit general made fun of Kanye by singing one of his songs. Kanye says “I guarantee this will be 50’s favorite album of mine. This will be gangster’s album of the year.”
