Claire later met up with Chace Crawford at Narisco's afterparty, where both Kanye West and Josh Hartnett brought along their new lady friends. Mischa Barton spent her afternoon with Shenae Grimes at G-Star, which had the unusual distinction of featuring a dramatic reading from Benicio del Toro.

Earlier today, Heidi Klum showed off her supermodel skills on the runway at the Michael Kors presentation. Kanye and his girl Amber Rose were back at the tents this afternoon to check out 3.1 Phillip Lim with Becki Newton before moving on to Alexandre Herchcovitch.

Kanye West struck a pose for the cover of Details' March fashion issue. He's presently all about checking out the offerings at New York Fashion Week, but he sat down with the magazine recently to chat about his status in the music industry as well as his desire to redefine what calling something "gay" should mean. Here's more:

• On being a great rapper: "Oh my God, I'm one of the greatest rappers in the world. I'll get on a track and completely ee-nihilate that track, I'll eat it and rip it in half. I wouldn't have to think of it."
• On being the voice of his generation: "If not me, then who? Someone could be a better rapper, dance better. But culturally impacting? When you look back at these four and a half years, who's the icon at the end of the day? Who broke down color barriers? What other black guy would a white person use as a fashion reference?"
• On redefining the word gay: "Take the word gay - like, in hip-hop, that's a negative thing, right? But in the past two, three years, all the gay people I've encountered have been, like, really, really, extremely dope. Y'know, I haven't, like, gone to a gay bar, nor do I ever plan to. But where I would talk to a gay person - the conversation would be mostly around, like, art or design - it'd be really dope. From a design standpoint, kids'll say, 'Dude, those pants are gay.' But if it's, like, good, good, good fashion-level, design-level stuff, where it's on a higher level than the average commercial design stuff, it's, like, gay people that do that. I think that should be said as a compliment. Like, 'Dude, that's so good it's almost. . . gay.'"

To see more photos as well as what Kanye has to say about his sex drive and what he looks for in a future wife, just read more.

• On where he gets his drive: "People ask me a lot about my drive. I think it comes from, like, having a sexual addiction at a really young age. Look at the drive that people have to get sex - to dress like this and get a haircut and be in the club in the freezing cold at 3 a.m., the places they go to pick up a girl. If you can focus the energy into something valuable, put that into work ethic . . . "
• On what he looks for in a lady: "What I feel like - 'cause I wanna be married, of course - I feel like the type of girl I would be with is a fellow superhero. So we get that 'already flying and now we're just flying together' thing."
• On his status in music: "Put this in the magazine: There's nothing more to be said about music. I'm the fucking end-all, be-all of music. I know what I'm doing. I did 808s in three weeks. I got it. It's on cruise control. . . Man, we talked about music for God knows how long! Now let's talk about how my f*cking sweater didn't come back right from Korea. That's what's interesting me."

Pretty standard stuff from Kanye at this point, but the rapper-turned-designer never fails to entertain.

The Grammys may seem like one of the longest shows of Award Season, but last night they mixed it up with some exciting performances. The show kicked off with U2 starring Bono, but the absence of Chris Brown and Rihanna was quickly felt. Justin Timberlake, Al Green, Keith Urban and Boyz II Men all stepped in to form a hodge podge second performance of the night while the young couple dealt with assault allegations and drama. Total highlights included Jay-Z on stage with Chris Martin and the "Swagger Like Us" performance with incredibly pregnant MIA. They looked like they were having so much fun. While Robert Plant and Alison Krauss took home some of the biggest awards John Mayer and Coldplay took home statues too - check out all the winners here.

Gwyneth looked hot introducing Radiohead while Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus sweetly collaborated to sing Swift's new single. Kanye and Estelle sounded fabulous before similarly named Adele won Best New Artist. Jennifer Hudson left the room choked up during her acceptance speech and strong performance. Keith Urban looked handsome on stage a few times - including the performance with John Mayer, BB King and Buddy Guy as a tribute to Bo Diddley - in between moments beside Nicole Kidman in their seats. The Jonas Brothers took the stage with Stevie Wonder just one of the pairings that kept this year's Grammys interesting.
