Kanye West Gets HBO Show

Rick Rubin, Borat/"Curb Your Enthusiasm" Dude Are Executive Producers
Kanye West Gets HBO Show

Look past the differences in skin color, social and geographical background, and diamonds worn per square inch of body surface, and you can see the common bond between "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star Larry David and Kanye West: the sometimes crippling self-consciousness (don't forget about "All Falls Down"!).

And now West can add "subject of his own HBO show" to the list of similarities, as Billboard.com (via the Hollywood Reporter) reports that the MC and producer will be the subject of an HBO series developed by "Curb Your Enthusiasm" executive producer and director Larry Charles.

Charles-- also the executive producer of "Entourage"'s first two seasons and director of Borat-- will team with the project's other executive producers (West, superproducer Rick Rubin, and West's manager G Roberson) to present "a day in [Kanye's] crazy, hectic life."

West is also still working on the feature film inspired by his music that he began last March in cooperation with Anonymous Content and New Line Cinema. He will act in the film, which will be "a multi-perspective portrait of the U.S. as seen through the eyes of West and several filmmakers."
