Kanye gets arrested at LAX after run-in with paparazzi
Filed under: CELEBRITY STYLE, Celebrity
Being an international music and style icon, rapper and sometimes clothing designer Kanye West has to be about as comfortable with getting mobbed by the paparazzi as one can get. Yet, it appears that even Kanye can sometimes lose his cool amidst the constant click of $10,000 cameras. According to reports, at around 7:15am Thursday morning, Kanye and his manager/bodyguard Don Crowley got arrested for "felony vandalism." The altercation apparently broke out between West, Crowley, and two TMZ photographers in area just outside of LAX's security screening area. No word yet about what set Kanye off, but if we had to guess, we'd say that he's probably not a morning person. Police originally considered battery charges for the star, but found no evidence and stuck with vandalism of a camera valued at over $10k.
TMZ apparently got the whole thing on video. To be fair, if there's any time or place that we wouldn't want the paprazzi in our face, it's at 7:15am just before we have to go through an airport security probing. Bad timing.

If i had been on a Red eye flight, and got off, was tired, and not looking my best, or even feeling my best, Id be pissed too! How many Celebs do the Paps need to kill before we realize these scum are making their lives feeding off of celebs. Yes, I realize they are a part of life when famous, but there needs to be lines drawn to ensure the safety of everyone involved. If someone was folowing me around, taking pics of me constantly, invading MY privacy it would be stalking, and harrassment, so why are they allowed to get away with much more just because they are a public feature. Makes NO sense. I say good job Kayne!!
