Kanye West & His Assistant Have Been Arrested For Attacking The Paparazzi
Kanye West has just been arrested at LAX for felony vandalism. A still photographer was trying to take pics of Kanye at the American Airlines terminal. According to our guy on the scene, Kanye allegedly confronted the photog and smashed his camera to the ground.
Update:
The cops asked Erik if he videotaped the incident and Erik said he had. That’s when Kanye lunged toward him and said, “Give me the fu***ng videotape.” Cops had to restrain Kanye as he tried coming at Erik.Full Story: TMZ
So basically Kanye breaks a photographer’s camera and then the assistant goes after the guy recording the attack on video. Celebs got to learn to deal with the cons of being rich and famous, got to ignore the paparazzi. When things are going good you hate them, but when your fame dies down you miss them. But of course some of them OD and i would despise having people always following me and taking pics and video. Again take the good with the bad.

“Celebs got to learn to deal with the cons of being rich and famous, got to ignore the paparazzi.”

publicity, just in time for an album
September 11th, 2008 at 11:43 am
He should have wild out like that when he got punk’d. That would have made it even funnier. But why is it always a videotape with Kanye? He’s either protecting one or breaking one.

I can’t imagine being in the clutch of paps all day, every day like these celebs. At some point, u just want to scratch ur ass or dig in ur ear, but can’t without 30 guys with cameras taking the pic and yelling at u while doing it. Everyone is entitled an off day. With all this homeland security shit, shouldnt the airport security shutdown these terrorists? If i were a Dipset (Taliban dipset) id dress up like a photog b4 i commit my heinous act

September 11th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Well if Ye really hates it that much then maybe he should get out of entertainment all together or pick a newspaper and be thankful that worst part of his day is someone wanting to take his picture becasue it could be alot worse. As for his boy grabbing the camera I’d bitched slapped his ass!

That’s not even gangster, the messed up part about is that ye is on camera attacking the paparrazi and smashing there cameras…. You can’t say it wasn’t you.
September 11th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Now he gonna have to plead guilty, and pay the paparrazi some change. It maybe nothing for Ye, but now you have a criminal record. And promise you that now more paps are gonna get in line to try and get Ye out of character.

Fuck Kanye!!!!!!!
September 11th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
paparazzi need to stop violating and disrespecting people then wanting to press charges when people beat them up and break their camera. thats stalking and harassment. how would they like it if they were trying to walk down the street and people were yelling stupid things to them and flashing bright cameras in their faces.
i think each paparazzi should live in a celebrities shoes in that aspect for a month or two. then maybe theyll have more respect for celebrities. celebrities are human beings with feelings and emotions and i dont blame them for getting frustrated
September 11th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
lmaooooo@some of the comments here..
I agree with #41 though…at some point there has to be a line on both sides on what not to cross. I understand paparazzi wanting to cover celebs and celebs understand that’s their job, but there are a few photographers that really are sick folks. Climbing over gates of celebrity homes, cursing, spitting at celebrities to get a reaction…that’s harassment man. It’s not always the fault of celebrities.
September 11th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
ps..I hate TMZ.
Always making snide comments about everyone as if their perfect. Just like cops man, they got abused through life and high school and that’s their revenge.

Kanye……is that you???
September 11th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Kanye, be prepared to be sued for the amount of the damaged cameras, assault, and everything else they’re lawyer tells them they can get you for. I see at least a million dollar lawsuit coming your way. Hope it was worth it!
September 11th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
*their (damn I can’t spell today)
September 11th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
