Kanye West

Rapper Kanye West has been charged in the melee that occurred at LAX airport last fall. The rapper and his bodyguard attacked photographers that dared to film and photograph him standing in line, by fighting with them in a tug of war over their costly cameras.

In other Kanye news, he finally admitted many people were correct in stating someone else is doing his blog for him. It takes work to make and maintain a frequently updated website pulling hits - work Kanye did not appear to be doing for a number of reasons.

Vulture Exclusive: Kanye Explains How His Blog Works

3/16/09 at 2:00 PM - Here's what he told us:

"It might [blog for] two hours in a day, it might be fifteen minutes in a day. I have two people that I hired and I tell them exactly what I want — it's just like how a designer would work. I tell them, you know, Surface magazine, Wallpaper, Architectural Digest, Hypebeast, Bossip — go to these different blogs and keep on pulling information…

So there you go — if you want a blog as successful as Kanye's, it's as simple as having a camera, a staff of two, and a guy who goes to cool places all the time.
