Kanye West is writing a movie role for Kim Kardashian.
The 'Bound 2' hitmaker - who has eight-month-old daughter North with the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star - is teaming up with author Bret Easton Ellis for a film based on his 'Yeezus' album and insiders say his fiancee will "definitely" be part of the cast.
A source said: "It's going to be based on the 'Yeezus' album. That's pretty much a narrative of Kanye's life.
"Kanye will not appear in the movie. Kim is definitely going to be in it. The screenplay already features her character."
However, it has not yet been decided how big a role Kim will play in the movie.
The source continued to RadarOnline.com: "They're still working on the script, so it's unclear at this point if Kim will be a major star of the movie or making a smaller cameo but her role in the movie will be pivotal.
"Her role is going to be very dramatic. Far from the bubbly happy persona that she's always played."
Kanye plans to direct the movie - which will be dedicated to his late mother - and "wants to be heavily involved in all aspects of production."

Paula Patton felt "utterly disrespected" by Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus' MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) performance.
The 38-year-old actress reportedly had a huge argument with the 'Blurred Lines' singer following the show, saying the raunchy routine - which featured 21-year-old Miley 'twerking' against her spouse - was insulting to her, particularly as it took place in front of a huge national TV audience.
And according to TMZ, Paula was particularly "enraged" because Miley improvised the performance without warning but her husband was happy to play along.
The couple - who announced their separation after eight years of marriage earlier this week - began arguing constantly after the ceremony in August, with the actress particularly furious with Robin's insistence on continuing to party at clubs and frequently being pictured with various women.
Although the couple - who have three-year-old son Julian together - insisted the separation was mutual, friends say Robin fought hard against the decision.
A source told Us Weekly: "Robin wanted to save their marriage, but it was Paula's choice and she ended it. Robin does not want this divorce.
"Robin was not blindsided - he knew this was coming out.But he was committed to saving their marriage. He didn't want this."
Another source added: "She is done with the marriage, but he was definitely fighting to stay together until the last moment.It is still cordial between them, but they are now figuring things out."

Woody Harrelson got into acting to impress girls.
The 52-year-old actor realised he could carve a career using his knack for impersonations after wooing a young lady by mimicking Elvis Presley.
He said: "In high school, I realised that if you were a terrific athlete, you could attract girls. I wasn't, so I had to look into some other possibilities.
"I got into theatre because a girl I liked saw me do an Elvis impersonation in the library and said I should be in the theatre. And I was like, 'If she wants me to be in theatre, I'm going to be in theatre.'
"Later on I realised that most of us are never going to be rock stars, which is probably everybody's real dream. So theatre is really our only chance to get up in front of a live audience."
The 'True Detective' star meditates on a daily basis and became a staunch vegan after feeling "knocked out" by greasy fast food.
He told the Metro newspaper: "I used to eat burgers and steak but I would just feel knocked out afterward. I had to give them up.
"Dairy was first, though. I was on a bus when I was about 24 and this girl saw me blow my nose, and I had acne all over my face. She told me I was obviously lactose intolerant and that if I gave up dairy my symptoms would disappear in a matter of days. She was right."

Ellen DeGeneres presented Jimmy Kimmel with an Oscar for his unborn baby last night (26.02.14).
The 56-year-old talk show host will front the Academy Awards on Sunday (02.03.14) and joked she had taken one of the statuettes to gift to the presenter following the news he and wife Molly McNearney are expecting their first child together.
Speaking on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' last night, she said:
"You announced on the show that you and Molly are having a baby. Congratulations again. I got you a baby gift. Will it be your first?"
Jimmy inspected the trophy and said: "It is a heavy baby gift."
Ellen joked: "It is real! They let me take a real - well, they didn't let me - but I took it.
"I was rehearsing across the street. It is like a baby rattle so the child can play with it."
However, Jimmy felt his offspring wouldn't be impressed by the gift.
He joked: "I wish the baby had a speech prepared right now...I can't believe how heavy this thing is. The baby is not going to like this at all! We are going to have to have one of those super babies."
Meanwhile, Ellen - who is married to Portia De Rossi - also admitted she didn't "think through" her decision to host the Oscars and is incredibly "busy" at the moment.
She said: "I am very busy. I didn't think this through when I said I would host the Oscars. I have a show everyday, and I am writing like crazy. I am moving at the same time, which was not thought through either. We are moving right after the Oscars."

Justin Bieber is reportedly "smoking more weed than ever" since moving to Atlanta.
The 'Boyfriend' hitmaker is said to have sparked concern among his friends since moving out of Los Angeles - where he had a schedule set up by people connected to his business affairs - as he no longer has any real rules or plans, with insiders claiming he spends much of his time smoking marijuana or consuming sizzurp, a cocktail of Sprite, Jolly Tancher sweets and medications codeine and promethazine which is referred to by the singer and his pals as 'lean'.
A source told TMZ: "He is constantly high. Drinking more lean, smoking more weed than ever."
The insiders claim Justin doesn't really leave his house, but is spending a lot of time working on hip hop music in his recording studio - and is "rarely sober".
The 19-year-old singer - who has caused controversy with his recent antics, including being arrested for allegedly assaulting a limo driver, and also for driving under the influence (DUI), driving with a suspended license and resisting arrest - is said to be cutting down his inner circle, pushing away those who have "confronted" him about his drug use, and those who have "ratted him out" about his habits.

Shia LaBeouf's uncle has been ordered to repay $800,000 which he borrowed from the actor.
The 'Transformers' star won a lawsuit against Barry Saide, when Manhattan Supreme Court Justice judge Eileen Bransten ruled his relative must repay the money the Shia loaned him 2009.
According to the New York Daily News newspaper, the judge wrote in a decision signed Monday (24.02.14) but posted yesterday (26.02.14): "The terms of the note are clear and the amount due and owing ... is forth in the note."
The pair had an agreement which stated Barry should repay the loan in 15 instalments of $53,333 but he never did and he is now set to give as much as nine per cent interest.
Saide runs an employment agency and borrowed the money following the recession to help him get back on track.
When the lawsuit was filed last August, Barry expressed surprise about the 27-year-old actor's actions insisting he wouldn't have borrowed anything if he thought this would happen.
In an affidavit, he reportedly said: "Had I thought that Shayne and Shia would take this extraordinary step and seek to impoverish me, I never would have borrowed a dollar from Shia."
Barry also insisted he spent money looking after the Hollywood hunk and his mother Shayne before his rise to stardom.

Cindy Crawford accidentally got into bed with George Clooney.
The 48-year-old supermodel stars in a commercial for Casamigos tequila - a brand owned by the actor and her husband Rande Gerber - in which her spouse catches her between the sheets with the 'Monuments Men' star and she admits the funny advert was inspired by a real-life encounter.
Cindy recalled: "I woke up around midnight and snuck into the guest room and saw Rande laying facedown on the bed so I got on the bed and was like, 'Hey, babe, you gotta wake up', and 'babe' turned his head and it wasn't [Rande], it was George.
"I was shocked, and George, we were both so shocked, so we wandered downstairs, I went looking for Rande and was like 'George is in the guest bed, I just got in bed with him' and we all laughed."
The couple - who have children Kaya, 12, and Presley, 14, together - own a house in Mexico next door to George Clooney and the supermodel admits they were initially hesitant to purchase the property because of their actor friend's bachelor lifestyle.
She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "The two houses are practically adjoined, and I was like, 'Hmmmm we have kids, George is sometimes single, sometimes not single'. It could be great, or it could be a nightmare."
However, Rande thought it would be "fun".
He said: "I just thought it would be fun, we're always together anyway so why not have somewhere we could have all of us and our friends all be together."

Katy Perry helped deliver a baby yesterday (26.02.14).
The 'Roar' hitmaker was celebrating a "miracle" of a day which saw her assist with a home birth.
Katy tweeted: "Finally you can add "helps delivers babies in living rooms" to my resume! It's been a miracle of a day...❤️ Auntie Katy aka Stylist Auntie (sic)"
Though it is unclear who Katy was helping, fans have speculated she was by the side of her older sister Angela Hudson, who was revealed to be pregnant late last year.
The happy news would have been a welcome distraction for the 29-year-old pop star as it was reported yesterday she and John Mayer have split up after 18 months together.
It is claimed the couple decided to go their separate ways because Katy - who was previously married to Russell Brand - was so busy preparing for her upcoming world tour.
A source said: "She's stressed about the tour, they've been fighting. It is probably for the best, because she is going to be on tour for forever. Of course this happens all the time, I can't keep track anymore. But for now they are done."

Rihanna and Chris Brown "haven't stopped" texting since her birthday.
The 'Diamonds' singer - who was recently seen partying with another former boyfriend, Drake, in Paris - has reportedly caused friends to "freak out" as they are concerned she is planning to renew her romance with the 'Yeah 3x' hitmaker, even though she initially snubbed his messages.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Chris started texting Rihanna on her birthday, February 20, and the two have been sending each other a flurry of texts ever since.
"Rihanna didn't write back right away . . . but later that night she started getting sentimental and texted back, 'thank you,' and asked how he was.
"Since then, the two haven't stopped texting each other and friends are freaked out that she's going to start dating him again."
Chris - who recently underwent a 90-day rehab programme for anger management - first split from Rihanna in 2009 after he violently assaulted her, but they then had an on/off relationship after her restraining order against him expired two years later.
Following their separation, the 'Only Girl in the World' hitmaker romanced Drake, and in 2012, he got into a club row with Chris after sending him a note reading "I'm f***ing the love of your life."
