Among this week’s top celebutard gossip was that Kim Kardashian‘s ex and former sex tape partner Ray J released a locker room-level insult song called “I Hit It First” about her (then denied it was about her even though the single’s cover art is a blurred photo of her).

The likelihood of Ray J being Kim’s first in the sack is arguable, but what isn’t up for debate is the fact he WAS NOT first when it came to writing Kim K-themed songs.

There’ve actually been a number of fascinating odes to Kim Kardashian over the years — including one by Honey Boo Boo — and Sarah collected some of the most interesting for Huffington Post Music Canada.

Every year music publications do a “dress like your favourite musicians” story around Halloween.

This year I did something different and instead contemplated which musicians might actually be monsters.

Jack White, Rob Zombie and Lana Del Rey were amongst the non-humans.
