Kanye's "Monster" Video BANNED By MTV, Kanye Rolls To Paris Fashion Week

Wondering why you still haven't seen Kanye, Jay, Ricky Ross and Nicki Minaj's controversial "Monster" video on tv?  It may be because MTV has banned it, thanks to protests from feminists groups.

 

Read on for what the feminine activists took issue with, plus pics of Kanye at Paris fashion week, when you read on...

A petition was submitted to MTV (and likely other music channels) by feminine activists Sharon Haywood and Melinda Tankard to not show Kanye and co's "Monster" video.  And it looks like the networks are choosing their battles--and Kanye's vid is not gonna win it.

Reportedly, MTV has agreed not to air the video.  Here's the activists' stance:

“The mainstreaming of videos like this increases desensitized and callous attitudes toward violence against women,” said Reist, one of the campaign originators.

“Young people are seeing images and absorbing harmful messages which glamorize misogyny and brutalize women. Women are reduced to sex-doll like playthings. So great is the level of desensitization that the barbaric treatment of women and girls is seen as normal and to be expected. We decided to run this campaign because we wanted to challenge the status quo.”

Months ago, the "unofficial" vid leaked on the net:

And we have yet to see a finalized version on tv.

Miranda Kerr & Orlando Bloom: Au Revoir, Paris!

Finished up with their time in the City of Lights, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr prepped for an outbound flight from Paris, France with baby Flynn on Saturday (March 5).

The Victoria's Secret model mommy toted her bundle of joy in her arms as she and her "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor hubby trekked through the Charles de Gaulle Airport to board an awaiting aircraft.

Having been in town for Paris Fashion Week, the flight comes just after it was announced that Miss Kerr has been named as a global ambassador for Earth Hour 2011.

In a statement on the honor, Miranda told, ?Each of us has a responsibility for the sustainability of our planet and each of us can make a difference if we choose to do so. I am pleased to be a global Ambassador for Earth Hour this year and I personally will be participating in Earth Hour on 26 March 2011, and will continue to adopt sustainability practices thereafter in my everyday life. Together we can make a difference.?

The 27-year-old beauty added, ?This year I will be going beyond the hour by continuing to recycle and by buying organic produce from local farmers markets thereby cutting down on the pesticides and insecticides used on our planet and reducing food miles."
