The series only lasted three months, but that was long enough to set Hayes on the path to become a TV legend through his role as Doug Williams, a pillar of the venerable daytime series “Days of Our Lives” for more than five decades.

West caused quite a stir with his recent single "Theraflu" by namedropping Anna Wintour, provoking PETA, and declaring his love for Kim Kardashian. A few days ago, Kanye tweeted an image of a topless lady with a Theraflu bottle instead of a head. We're guessing this could be another collaboration between West and George Condo, who designed the controversial cover of "My Beautiful, Dark, Twisted Fantasy."
In honor of their dark, twisted partnership, we have made a slideshow of our favorite album covers by great artists. Which ones did we forget? Let us know in the comments.
