It must be nice being rich and famous. You can throw temper tantrums and curse out the President and people will still fork over a cool million dollars for you to show up at their party.

Such was the case for the famous, sometimes infamous, Kanye West. The rapper was reportedy paid $1 million to help watchmaker Casio promote it's new G-Shock model with a performance at Guastavino's in New York Wednesday night.

The show was attended by such celebrity guests as Lindsay Price, Caridee English and Spike Lee, who waited an hour and a half for the hot-headed rapper to take the stage. West performed with four topless dancers wearing space space helmets.

According to reports, Kanye complained about the green room at the venue, which was last used by fashion designer John Galliano. "It smells like a dirty French boudoir," he said.
