He had to sit in Business Class on Monday night instead of First Class . . . for, like, 5 minutes. Oh no! From the New York Post:
Kanye West is a finicky flier. A source said the rapper threw a fit at LAX Monday night on his way back to New York from the Grammys after he and his assistant were seated in business class instead of first.
"He wanted to be bumped up," says our witness. West and his aide were eventually moved to the better seats.
Why was Kanye so insistent about being moved to first class? It's not like he needs the leg room -- the guy's so tiny he could sleep in the overhead compartment. Of course the real reason why Kanye was bumped up to First Class is because he was sitting in the exit row and couldn't comply with FAA regulations of 1. being able to lift 50 pounds, and 2. being able to fit your head through the emergency exit door.
Kanye West made a fool of himself again Saturday night at Common’s
benefit concert at The Palladium in Hollywood. Here’s the story: Kanye
arrived minutes before he was set to go onstage as the last act of a
star-studded charity show. Besides Common, Nas, Ludacris, Mos Def, De
La Soul, Heavy D, Queen Latifah, and other acts had delighted the
crowd.
They were all relaxing in the green room when Kanye walked in
and noticed a guy eating chicken. He took offense and blurted
petulantly “Why wasn’t I offered chicken? It’s NOT FAIR- you want me to
perform for free - everyone is eating - WHY AM I NOT EATING!” A waiter
apologized and pointed out “You didn’t ask for chicken!” -- "Well, I’m
ASKING NOW!!"
Other celebrities watched Kanye’s loud chicken tantrum in total
shock. His girlfriend Amber Rose just stepped back and let him rant.
The waiter rushed him a plate of chicken and Kanye literally took ONE
bite and dumped it before he grabbed the mic and went onstage, leaving
everyone shaking their heads.
Everyone should just lay off Kanye for a second and actually give him some credit. At least with this outburst he had the good sense to only make a jackass out of himself in front of a few dozen people and not a few million. Besides, there's a perfectly good explanation for why Kanye enjoys whining and throwing tantrums like a five-year-old: both wear the same size clothing.
"In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview. This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again."
Name-calling's a nice start, but the President can do so much more. He can pretty much guarantee himself a second term if he names Kanye the Ambassador of Afghanistan or North Korea or somewhere else you die as soon as you step off the plane. I can see Kanye's blog already:
SOMALIA IS VERY NICE IT IS MUCH NICER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A BULLET JUST WENT THROUGH MY SHOULDER. IT IS VERY PAINFUL BUT NOT AS PAINFUL AS KNOWING I WILL NEVER BE RECOGNIZED AS THE TRUE ARTISTIC GENIUS THAT I AM.
Kanye West and Taylor Swift at the Video Music Awards in New York (9/13)
And by "kind of" I mean "complete and total." Kanye embarrassed wholesome Taylor Swift in front of millions of viewers last night at the VMAs by hijacking the microphone and proclaiming that she didn't deserve the award for Best Female Video (video of the incident on PAGE 2). You stay classy Kanye! From the Associated Press:
Taylor Swift was relishing her unlikely win of best female video at the MTV Video Music Awards. The 19-year-old knew that the network doesn't exactly make a habit out of giving their moonman trophies to country music stars.
"I was standing on the stage and I was really excited because I had just won the award," Swift said after Sunday's show at Radio City Music Hall. "And then I was really excited because Kanye West was on the stage. And then I wasn't so excited anymore after that."
Taking the microphone, the rapper protested Swift's selection and announced that Beyonce, also nominated, should have won because her "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it)" was "one of the best videos of all time."
A stunned Swift staggered and didn't get to finish her acceptance speech. The crowd booed West, who shortly after was asked to leave the show and left the building.
Of course, backstage, Taylor responded like any normal 19-year-old girl would. She cried. Honestly, the only way Kanye could come off worse in this situation is if he pulled off his mask on stage and revealed that he was actually Hitler.
Kanye West and his girlfriend were in Miami yesterday. In conclusion, topless.

Alessandra Ambrosio at a photoshoot in Miami (11/12)
The best way to become the voice of your generation? By not proclaiming that you're the voice of your generation. In an interview with the Associated Press on Wednesday, Kanye West boasted:
"I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice. It's me settling into that position of just really accepting that it's one thing to say you want to do it and it's another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan. There were people who had the potential to do it but they went on vacation, so when Justin went on vacation I made albums. And it just came out to be that." (Source)
If I remember correctly, people who are barely 5 feet tall and constantly boast about their accomplishments are afflicted with a certain condition. I think the medical term is: insecurityNapoleon Complex tiny penis. If Kanye is going to compare himself to a NBA basketball player, Michael Jordan might not be the best person. One that might be a little more fitting: Muggsy Bogues.
NOTE: Alessandra Ambrosio pics used for this story because she's roughly a kajillion times hotter than Kanye West
Kanye West was arrested earlier this morning after he shoved a camera into a paparazzo's face outside the Tup Tup club in Newcastle, England, causing a minor cut. After being held for a short time, West was released with no charges being filed. The incident doesn't really come as much of a shock since West has a history of altercations with paparazzi and the paparazzi have a history of being assholes. You can see the paparazzo's horrific injuries here but I must warn you, it is not for the squeamish. I just hope Kanye does the right thing and pays for the guy's medical bills:
Kanye West was arrested earlier this morning at LAX after basically jumping a paparazzo. Apparently Kanye didn't want his picture taken so he "rushed" a photographer, took his camera, and smashed it to the ground. TMZ videographer "Erik" caught it all on tape which didn't sit well with Kanye's assistant, who then grabbed the camera and smashed it to the ground. TMZ continues:
Erik says Kanye then tried to leave to board his plane, but cops stopped him before he got to security. The cops then interviewed Erik, the still photog, Kanye and his assistant. 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 fucking videotape." Cops had to restrain Kanye as he tried coming at Erik. (Source)
LAX spokesman Marshall Lowe told People:
"Mr. West was arrested at 7:51 a.m. outside the passenger screening area by airport police on charges of vandalism. Initial reports say this incident involved a paparazzo and a camera valued at more than $10,000. In addition, Mr. West's road manager was arrested for vandalism and battery. Several witnesses are being interviewed by police. West and his manager are being transported to an LAPD station where they're expected to be booked." (Source)
Being arrested is a pretty shitty way to miss your flight. One time I missed a flight because I overslept. Most exciting story ever? Yes, yes it is.
Here's video of the tantrum Kanye West threw backstage at the VMAs after coming up empty handed for an award . . . I had the same reaction when ABC canceled MacGyver.
NOTE: I know I already used that joke today. I just really wanted to emphasize how important the show was to my development. Fuck you ABC, fuck you.
