Kim Kardashian, Kanye West And North West In <i>Vogue</i>: Check Out More Pictures

It seems like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are still on cloud nine over their much-discussed Vogue cover, but can you really blame them?

On Monday (March 24), Kanye took to Twitter to simply state that "Dreams come true," with a photo, shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, from the magazine spread showing him and his fiancée walking hand-in-hand along the Paris waterfront as they gaze longingly into each other's eyes. Not only does the photo, which Kim tweeted was one of her favorites," encompass a loving moment between the two, but it also shows off their impeccable style, with Kim wearing a white McQueen gown covered from head-to-toe in feathers and Kanye in leather pants, a black shirt and a long trench.

With the digital copy of the April issue available, some unreleased photos have been making the rounds, including a very complex photo of Leibovitz taking a photo of Kanye, who is taking an iPad photo of Kim, who is taking a selfie of her and daughter North West. So meta.

Vogue also released several official photos from the shoot, including one of Kimye looking into each other's eyes as Kanye wraps his arm around his future wife as they prepare to kiss. The other is a family shot that puts the adorable North on full display as a shirtless Kanye holds his bare-bottom daughter across his chest as he is draped across Kim's lap.

"I take pictures of her all the time and dress her up," said Kim of Nori in the magazine. ...

The Arcade Fire Bobblehead Is Missing: Here’s 6 Places It May Be

Richard Parry of Arcade Fire lost his head at a recent Connecticut show — quite literally.

Arcade Fire have been sporting some seriously heady costumes during their most recent tour — and in videos for tracks like — so it came as a shock to the band when one of the giant papier mache heads was yoinked after a show in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

The head bears the visage of Parry, and the band has photos of the theft, but instead of handing them over to the authorities, they're merely asking that the costume piece be returned.

"This mask is a one of a kind piece that is an essential component to our live show," the band wrote in a statement. "Perhaps this is all an innocent mistake and you meant to leave the venue with your own oversized paper mache rendition of Richard Parry's head? Please contact: info@quest-management.com with any information."

Currently, Parry Head is still on the lamb, so we over here at MTV News imagined what it's been doing during its stay in the Nutmeg State.

1. Visiting The Mystic Seaport

Who wouldn't want to check out all the sights at the Mystic Seaport, home to the world's oldest remaining merchant vessel the Charles W. Morgan (and myriad ancient salted strips of fish)?

There are barrel makers! A creepy jar filled with leaches at the apothecary! Horse-drawn carriages and streets just brimming with steaming dung!

Live it up, Parry Head — it's time to party like it's 1849!

2. Chilling At Mystic Pizza

Beyonce’s ‘Drunk in Love’ Vs. Future’s ‘Good Morning’: Who Did It Better?

Beyoncé's hit single "Drunk in Love" has had girls — and a few boys, as well — grinding on that surfboard for months now, but did Queen Bey snatch that catchy beat right out of Future's hands? The Atlanta-based rapper/producer says he didn't know that Mrs. Carter actually planned to use the melody after he previewed it for her.

During at performance at SXSW last week Future performed a new song called "Good Morning," which sounded surprisingly like "Drunk in Love."

"I was recording with this producer by the name of Detail. We were working on 'Drunk in Love,'" Future explained to fans before getting into the track. "We started working on this other record at the same time, and then once 'Drunk in Love' came out it pushed this song to the side."

Future paid a visit to "The Wendy Williams Show" on Monday (Mar 24), where he further elaborated on how he lost the track to Bey.

"I demoed the song with the producer. I demoed it first for her to listen to," he said. "I guess she had done the record and she was saving the record. I had did another version, 'Good Morning,' because we didn't know when she was going to put the album out."

"Then she put it out [in] December, after I was supposed to put my album out in November, it just pushed my song to the side.

Though it's unfortunate that "Good Morning" got scrapped from Future's upcoming album, Honest, it seems unlikely that his version would've been as big of a smash ...

Is Diddy Going By Puff Daddy Again? See His ‘Big Homie’ Trailer

Diddy makes everything look epic — even shopping at a bodega. On Monday (March 24), the Bad Boy head honcho opened the preview clip for his music video with an aerial shot of Times Square, before cutting to a super slow motion shot of himself walking through a local grocery store aisle.

Oh yeah, he also may or may not have changed his name back to his original Puff Daddy moniker, depending on how much trust you put into the trailer's credit roll.

A small piano pounds as Puff struts passed a shelf holding dinner napkins, Ziploc sandwich bags and powdered hot chocolate mix. If you think the multimillionaire has grown frugal on his way to a billion, don't fret: He provides plenty of ostentatious moments in the 57-second clip.

In just under a minute, Diddy takes a ride through Harlem with Meek Mill in a Rolls Royce Wraith, dons a fur coat and flashes his diamond-encrusted jewelry in front of the camera.

Puff released the first release from his upcoming MMM album last month and alongside rap friends French Montana and Rick Ross, reminds listeners of all his Diddy-ness. "Diddy go to any hood, big rollie/ Top down on any block, n---as know me/ The only one that's topping Forbes,I'm getting lonely," he brags.

Down With The Crown: Check Out The Menu At Kim And Kanye’s Burger King Franchise

Kanye West just got Kim Kardashian one Whopper of a wedding gift.

According to reports, 'Ye is giving his soon-to-be-wife 10 Burger King franchises throughout Europe, in the hopes of diversifying her portfolio and giving her career options once the reality TV cameras stop rolling (which surely has to happen one of these days, right?!?)

"She owns all the jewels anyone could ever want, so he is taking the practical route by investing in businesses for her instead ... Kanye wants to buy her 10 restaurants, making her a real international businesswoman," a source supposedly told the UK's ever-reliable Daily Star. "he knows the fast food industry is reliable and lucrative, plus BK is international so he thinks it's the perfect fit for Kim."

Hope nobody told the folks at Carl's Jr!

Kanye, of course, already has fast-foot experience, entering into a partnership with Fat Burger in 2008 (sadly, the first franchise he opened in the Chicago suburb of Orland Park closed in 2011), so a BK deal seems like the next logical step.

That said, give the source of the story, we're pretty sure it isn't true ... which is a bummer, considering all the potential menu additions KimYe could've brought to Burger King (they're both geniuses, after all) Here are some of our gut-busting favorites, beach bods be damned.

How ‘Divergent’ Stacks Up To ‘The Hunger Games’ And ‘Twilight’

The YA curse has been broken, and it was Tris and the cast of "

The Shailene Woodley-led adaptation has been hailed as a success in industry circles and won the box office for the weekend, but how well did it do in comparison to "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games"?

Here's a closer look at the opening weekend number for "Divergent."

$56 million - How much "Divergent" made in its opening weekend
Here's the number you've probably seen associated with "Divergent" a lot today. This was the big number that "Divergent" hit this weekend, almost exactly on-target with what analysts had predicted. Solid, though nothing earth-shattering, but good enough to make it the second biggest opening of the year behind "The LEGO Movie."

$96 million - How much more "The Hunger Games" made
Summit Entertainment and its parent company Lionsgate, from the very start of "Divergent" was hoping to recreate the phenomenon that erupted out of the Jennifer Lawrence-led movie with a similarly themed adaptation starring an up-and-coming actress. Ultimately, this may have come down to the public's familiarity with "The Hunger Games" and its much more straightforward story at the time of release.

$13 million - How much more "Twilight" made
This is where Summit should see some good signs. The first installment in the Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson vampire saga opened to the tune of $69 million all the way back in 2008. (Remember 2008?) With the next two movies in the "Divergent" series already schedule, Summit has some room to grow.

69 percent - The female portion of the audience
Since this is ...
