Kanye West and bodyguard arrested at LAX. You don't know my name!

Kanye West has been arrested at LAX.

Details are sketchy, and most of them are coming from the photographers involved in the airport altercation that result in Kanye’s arrest for felony vandalism.

A still photographer was reportedly trying to take Kanye’s photo at the American Airlines terminal.

He was likely en route from New York as he was seen at several Big Apple fashion shows and parties -- Prada, Proenza Schouler, Marc Jacobs, Thakoon -- this week.

An annoyed Kanye allegedly confronted the photog, smashing the guy’s camera to the ground.



A TMZ video cameraman got the scene on tape, but then Kanye's bodyguard grabbed that camera.

After a struggle, the bodyguard threw the video camera to the ground, breaking it.



When Kanye realized the camera guy had videotaped the incident, he rushed the TMZ guy and yelled, "Gimme that [expletive] tape!"



Both Kanye and his bodyguard have been arrested and will be booked. 



And those TMZ guys are rushing back to the office with the video spoils. Expect the tape to go up on the site soon.

For more information, see the Los Angeles Times story here.

Emotions. Good luck Kanye, you would wish you hadn't done it, i am sure

[TalentToday]

WHO cares. I am amazed at what passes for talent today.

[kevin washington]

Ah ha! Arrogant _rick

[Mike]

Talent? I'm amazed at what passes for a human being these days. Kanye, as a person and an entertainer, you suck!

[Ed Banks]

The paparazzis are mafia clique exploiting and terrorizing the celebrities. I hope lawmakers should have the ball to draw the line. These animals have cost the life of Diana, stolen millions from their victims in frivolous lawsuits and emotionally damaged many. No paparazzi should be allowed to provoke, harass, stalk, torment or profit from their victims.

Unfortunate event for everyone involved especially Kanye!

What talent?

[mtatom@charter.net]

Only in a culture of ignorance, violence and vulgarity.

[Dakota]

It's obvious: Kanye West HATES WHITE PEOPLE!

[Vandal394]

Who ever says kayne has no talent...you my sir are a fool. Mr. West will throw the camera guy a hundred grand or so and move on....and beat will the charge good for him he made it

[Ofwha]

I don't think he should be arrested for that??? what about Bjork who BEATEN UP the camera LADY, not the camera (like kanye) (and that is my favourite singer)

[Moran]

Don't watch trash like TMZ. I don't blame any celebrity for hating paparazzi. They are human beings and no human being should be hounded.

[Zeety]

I'm guessing he didn't act like that when the cops took his mug shot. Guess what, Kanye?, it will be on The Smoking Gun before the end of the day and you won't get a dime for it....doosh.

If you don't like paparazzi following your overpaid ass around ... GET A REAL JOB like the rest of us .. Get up and go to work, get your own groceries and barely make ends meet ...

I think we as Americans should demand we get paid more and musicians, actors and athletes make less ..

[NotoriousRambo]

TMZ YOU ARE ALL A BUNCH OF PUCCIES SINCE YOU CALLED THE COPS ON KANYE, YOU GUYS LOVE TO HARASS CELEBRITIES AND WHEN THE TABLES ARE TURNED YOU RUN TO THE COPS AWWWWW POOR TMZ AND THEIR CAMERA LOLZZZZZZ Sh!TS FUNNY

[Sean]

I'm glad he did it, everytime they take his pic he should smash their equipment (well he should get his entourage to do it).

[Holly]

Why do you think they are "overpaid"? They are paid so much money because they have a special spark/talent/look that people are drawn to. You are just jealous that you are barely making end meet, Zeety. Its the luck of the draw mate. Life is unfair, why don't you cry about it? This is why he makes the big bucks..because his arrest/antics/love interests/new song, provoke 'ordinary' folks like you and me to spend the time to write comments and discuss on blogs and at dinner tables.

It is funny that some people are talking about Kanye's talent and a guy also made a comment about him not liking white people. All those are just dumb comments. It is true that he is arrogant and he is proud to be black but that don’t have anything to do with the situation. I have spoken to him couple of times and he is not as bad as people think.

He shouldn't have touched the camera man but that don't mean he doesn't have talent. It is funny that a guy without talent is making millions of dollars while couple of people are here criticizing him. The paparazzis are exploiting celebrities and they always get away with it.

[SARGE]

How stupid do some of you sound? "Kanye Hates white people." That stupid rebuttal to something happened after a more serious and embarrassing for the nation type of incident. Again, how stupid are you that you would be so jealous to say to an entertainer, who is rich because your kids take your money to buy their records and movies. If you don't like the money or lack thereof in you bank account, work harder. You should stop being angered and jealous of another person. Work harder. If that were the case, I'd tell you don't complain about entertainers or even your current job, join my organization where we have to leave our families and fight for your right to continue spew divisive statements like you do. Got to war with me over in the deserts on a continuous basis to make a living. You will never have to know of any entertainers antics anymore, unless they do a USO show. Crybaby!!!

Kanye West has got to be the worst rap artist/hip hop artist in the world today. I don't know what to make of his latest song, if you can call it a song. It's more like someone talking and humming at the same time. I can talk pretty well, maybe I can cut a record.
