"My baby speaking at Harvard Design School," Kim Kardashian tweeted yesterday, attaching a pic. No, North West is not yet giving lectures at Ivy League schools (give it two years); Kim's fiancée was in fact speaking to the assembled design students ahead of his concert in Boston Sunday night as part of the Yeezus Tour.

"I really do believe the world can be saved through design," West told the group, who was extremely enthusiastic about their celebrity guest. He continued, "I believe utopia is actually possible, but we're led by the least noble, the least dignified, the least tasteful, the dumbest, and the most political . . . In no way am I politician; I'm usually, at my best, politically incorrect."

He also gave everyone in the office tickets to his concert, admitting, "I'm a bit self-conscious [about the design of the show] because I'm showing it to architects."

Perhaps this will lead to future lectures from musicians! Some ideas:

- Rihanna and Miley Cyrus: a team-taught class in the "Art of The Selfie: Angles, Lighting and Perfecting the Pout" at Brown University

- Justin Timberlake: a lecture on "How To Defy Logic and Make A 7-Minute Song Feel Like It Lasts 17 Minutes" in the Stanford mathematics department

- Beyoncé: a six-part seminar on "The Power of Withholding: Why Sometimes Not Releasing An Album Can Be The Best Album Of All" in the psychology department at Columbia

- Taylor Swift: an entire fellowship at the M.I.T. School of Cryptography
