Say it ain’t so! Kanye West arrested!
Update: Video added below…
There are way to many cliché to use for this one (love won’t be the only thing locking him down, what’s that about flashing lights?) so how about we just get down to the nitty-gritty. According to TMZ.com, Kanye West was arrested earlier this morning for vandalism.
From the sound of it, at least according to the gossipers, the Chicago native didn’t fancy the idea of being videotaped while waiting in line at Los Angeles International Airport. 
Erik [the cameraman] then went over to Kanye, his camera rolling, when Kanye’s bodyguard walked up to him, realized Erik was taping, and said, “Give me the camera, give me the camera.” Erik responded that he had a press pass and had a right to shoot. The assistant then grabbed the camera, ripped off the mic and viewfinder and smashed it to the ground…
This is where it gets crazy. 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.
TMZ has video of the incident. I’m excited to read Kanye’s side of the story, something which will surely appear on his blog once he gets his hands back on the good ol’ Mac Book Air.
Excellent site!!!love the layout aswell
Poor Kanye. The paps should just leave him, and all other celebs, alone, and let them live their lives!
