Kanye West Arrested But Blog Still Being Updated

Kanye Busted In More Ways Than One

September 11. 2008

People take your picture all the time. Why did you have to pick September 11th to act up. Is this some sort of Hollywood thing.

Hotheaded, overrated rapper and Madonna producer, Kanye West, and his bodyguard, were arrested today at LAX airport in Los Angeles for "vandalism" in accosting a TMZ photographer and destroying his $10,000 camera.

They were arrested by the L.A.P.D., who previously locked up Paris Hilton, as they are the only law enforcement entity in the city with the guts and integrity to arrest lawbreaking Hollywood stars *looks at Los Angeles FBI and rolls eyes*

Kanye today exhibited the type of arrogance the public has come to expect from Hollywood stars - no respect for other people's property or personal space. Since when is it a crime to take a picture of someone in a public place.

According to a TMZ poll conducted after the incident, tens of thousands of respondents believe West deserves to get locked up for what he did:

Should Kanye go down?
Yes 72%
No 28%
Total Votes: 58,759

He was jailed for a few hours and then released on $20,000 bail. But the story gets better. As the phrase goes, "What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive."

As I previously wrote, West slammed a real blogger, Marcus Troy, for stating he did not believe he was the one writing the cornucopia of entries on his website. I didn't think it was Kanye either. West was also accused of stealing from other blogs.

Today, during the fracas, his arrest and subsequent jailing for a few hours, his website was mysteriously still being updated with new blog entries. OK, now we know for a fact it's not you doing the blog, Kanye. You shouldn't have gotten all self-righteous when you were outed last month, because now you just look foolish and dishonest:

Kanye Attack Caught On Tape

You see Kanye (in a gray hooded sweatshirt) and his bodyguard/road manager (in the red) grabbing the camera away from the photog. It appears the bodyguard, Don Crowley, gets the camera and Kanye gets the lighting component. Crowley smashes the camera to the ground and Kanye does the same with the light.

Erik, our camera guy, then comes closer and the bodyguard then comes up and wrestles his camera away, ultimately breaking it.

As we first reported, both Kanye and his bodyguard were arrested for vandalism. They're both being held on $20,000 bail.

Kanye Arrested! So Who’s Updating His Blog?

9/11/08 at 1:10 PM - According to TMZ, Kanye West was just arrested at LAX for "felony vandalism" (he and a bodyguard allegedly smashed the cameras of a pair of paparazzi).

Apparently his ghost blogger didn't get the message, though, because posts on his Website went up at 10:45 and 10:55, which would've been approximately the same time he was purportedly smashing cameras and (presumably) being handcuffed. So, either someone else is updating his blog or Kanye's even more talented than we thought!
