Star Wars has a way of bringing people together – even the stars themselves.

Kim Kardashian West revealed on Friday that she has the fantasy franchise to thank for creating a spark between her and husband Kanye West.

In a post on her website titled "Happy Star Wars Day!" Kardashian West shares photos of her and West dressed in full Star Wars garb for the pilot of an unaired show.

"In honor of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' being released today, I wanted to share these old pics of Kanye and me from years ago!" she writes. "We worked...

Just how embarrassed is Kanye West by Kim Kardashian’s Twitter post this week? The reality star/fashion designer took a little trip back in time posting an Instagram photo with the description: 'Throwback Thursday me & Yeezy 2008'. In the photo, Kim was dressed like Star Wars character Princess Leia and was serenaded by a puppet. Kanye was dressed like a Stormtrooper and looked on in apparent confusion.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were just friends, hanging out in a film studio making a skit for a television pilot. Many love stories start out that way. Apparently Yeezy was set to appear with fellow hip-hop star Rhymefest in a show called Alligator Boots, a comedy series featuring puppets. For some tragic reason that we’ll never understand, the show never made it to air. How did this get the axe, while Keeping Up With The Kardashians just wrapped it’s 7th season?! We’ll take it as yet another example of how life isn’t fair.

Thankfully, some footage of the 2008 shoot still exists, and it amusingly depicts Kanye and future lady-love Kim doing a scene together. The pair are decked out in Star Wars attire, with Kanye as a Stormtrooper (sans helmet) and Kim as a very convincing princess Leia,...

Check out the following behind-the-scenes video for the failed Comedy Central comedy series, Alligator Boots, created by the same mastermind behind Crank Yankers and filmed back in 2008. Each episode was supposed to feature a new celebrity guest and it just so happened that Kanye West was the host for this unaired episode.

Thanks to the storyline written for his appearance, Kim Kardashian wound up in a Princess Leia Slave costume for the episode so enjoy the following video while it lasts [Viacom is apparently hunting it down left and right].

Kim and Jen have both sported the Carrie Fisher’s iconic two-piece! But which one do You think would look better chained to Jabba the Hut?

When it comes to sexy-time fantasies, Princess Leia’s gold bikini from Star Wars, Episode IV: Return of the Jedi is considered a timeless standard. So it’s only fitting that we pit two other timeless standards — Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston – against each other to see who rocked the look best!

When we first saw Kim don the gold bikini in a clip from Kanye West‘s failed Comedy Central show Alligator Boots, our first thought was, “Wow, Kim looks super hot in that gold bikini.” But now that we’ve had a few days to let it sink in, our new thought is: “Wow, Kim still looks super hot in that gold bikini — but hey, remember when Jen wore it on Friends?...

Reality TV darling Kim Kardashian dressed in the Princess Leia gold bikini and swirled braids from "Return of the Jedi" for a hilarious musical skit for Comedy Central.

The 30-year-old newlywed appeared in the 10-minute clip with rapper Kanye West and several Muppets.

Check it out!

The clip was part of a pilot for West's Muppet comedy show "Alligator Boots," in collaboration with hip-hop star Rhymefest. Unfortunately, the show was not picked up.

Kim is...

The Muppets, an upcoming revamp of the puppet ensemble starring Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Neil Patrick Harris, Rashida Jones, and Mila Kunis, has re-spliced their trailer into a parody of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trailer. Some may find it aggressively adorable, if not a little misguided. Both trailers posted below--see if you can spot the differences! Meanwhile, in the world of puppet news, footage from Kanye West's puppet show, Alligator Boots, was released online--starring the singer, a crude "Beary White" and Kim Kardashian in a Princess Leia get-up. West and Rhymefests, a former puppet company in Chicago, filmed in the Jim Henson studios, and West says he suggested the puppet show. They created the pilot in 2008 for Comedy Central, who did not ...

I just saw Kanye West's puppet show, the one with Kim Kardashian in a Princess Leia costume. When is it coming to TV? —Sister H., via the inbox You speak of Alligator Boots, a half-hour show that dropped Crank Yankers into a blender with King magazine and spun it around until it produced a horny puppet named Beary White. In the pilot, Kanye West spoofs himself as a rapper with an ego the size of the Death Star and a costume to match. As for Kim Kardashian, she doesn't have much of a costume at all... ...other than some strategically placed metal spirals on her boobies. The get-up is, of course, a reference to Return of the Jedi, in which Princess Leia becomes a pleasure-slave for...

In the world of Kanye West, if you like something (really, anything), the next logical step is to get out there and make your own, better version. That's what was supposed to happen back in 2008, when Kanye took such a liking to Comedy Central's R-rated puppet show Crank Yankers that he decided to make his own puppet show entitled Alligator Boots. Heartbreakingly, the show never made it to air, but at least we now have previously unseen behind-the-scenes footage to cling to. Check out the above clip for Kim Kardashian in a Princess Leia outfit (Kanye was supposed to dress up as a Stormtrooper, apparently), a horny, deep-voiced puppet named Beary White, and a catchy puppet song called "Baby in the Club." Now excuse me while I go draw up a petition — getting this show back into production is now my new pet [...]...

Dear Comedy Central: Why did you never air "Alligator Boots"?!

In this video discovered by The Vine, we take an extensive look behind the scenes at a 2008 pilot for "Alligator Boots," a sketch/puppet show pilot created by rapper Rhymefest in collaboration with Kanye West and Daniel Ellison of Jackhole Productions, who also produced "Crank Yankers."

The show had almost the exact same concept as "The Muppet Show" -- the puppets, which interact with live action celebrities, even were created by Jim Henson's Muppet Workshop -- but with a decidedly hip-hop flavor. For instance, Rhymefest describes a sketch in which a literal pig is touted as the next big thing in rap, but nobody notices that he's just a pig "except for smart people."

Another sketch, shown in the video, features "Beary White" crooning an X-rated ballad to Kim Kardashian in Princess Leia's metal bikini.

Yes, when the...

Alligator Boots was an unaired Comedy Central show that looks a lot like an adult version of the Muppet Show. While the show never quite made it past its pilot episode, it was produced by a not-quite-as-big Kanye West (it looks like it’s around the era of The College Dropout), who hosted the pilot episode. It was created with a little help from the guys that did Crank Yankers, and it shows in the puppets’ design. In the clip, you’ll see glimpses of unreleased skits that show Kim Kardashian as princess Leia and a song called “Baby in the Club.”...

Once upon a time, Kanye West saw a show on Comedy Central called Crank Yankers, and he really liked it. So he wanted his own Crank Yankers-type show. And since he was Kanye West, and Kanye West is The Best! In The World! And Can Have Whatever He Wants!, he got his show. It was called Alligator Boots, which producers likened to a .hip-hop Muppet Show,. only instead of Kermit the Frog, the star was a rapping pig named Pork Troy who looked like a cross between a vampire, a pig, and Jay-z. And as you.ll see from this recently leaked, behind-the-scenes...  More >>...
