I hear… I hear…that Kanye West, awards-show interrupter, will make a cameo when Swift, awards-show interruptee, hosts Saturday Night Live on Nov. 7. Quoth gossip maven Perez Hilton: “Sources tell us this is very likely to happen!” (Italics, exclamation his.) Stay tuned, then.
MYV – After a couple of rough months that found him getting massive flack for interrupting Taylor Swift at the VMAs and canceling his tour with Lady Gaga, Kanye West got some very good news on Friday. Though he was not present for the ruling, West caught a break when a Los Angeles court commissioner dismissed all three misdemeanor charges against the rapper in connection with a scuffle with paparazzi at the Los Angeles International Airport in September 2008.
Court commissioner Mark Zuckman dismissed misdemeanor charges of battery, grand theft and vandalism against West and tour manager Don Crowley. West was arrested on suspicion of vandalism and Crowley on suspicion of vandalism and battery on September 12, 2008, when they allegedly confronted TMZ photographers and smashed their equipment; West and Crowley, 33, pleaded not guilty to the charges, which could have sent West to jail for up to two years and six months and Crowley for up to five years.
City prosecutors opposed the dismissal, arguing that both West, 32, and Crowley had exhibited “felonious intent” in allegedly breaking the expensive camera gear. As part of the dismissal, West and Crowley were ordered to complete 50 hours of community service — West’s attorney said he will work perform his service with the American Red Cross. – MTV
Like the Timex Social Club, I spend a lot of time lamenting the rumors that surround me every day. How do they get started? And where do they get crazy? In Truthmonger, I’ll try to suss out the kernels of truth in the rumors that are taking up airspace in gossip columns, blogs, and our tips inbox.
THE RUMOR: Kanye West is dead, killed in a “bizarre car crash in Los Angeles.”
TRUTH THRESHOLD: Sigh. You guys.
HOW THIS RUMOR GOT STARTED: Last night, some online pranksters concocted a faux “front page of Fox News”:Thanks to the speed with which news can travel around the Internet—and the seemingly insatiable hunger for dead celebrities sparked by the passings of Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, etc.—the story made its way to other forums, and “RIP Kanye West” quickly became a trending topic on the fake-news magnification service Twitter. [Wait!Theres Tons More…]
Sources Say Kanye West and Lady Gaga worldwide concert tour is offically cancelled. I’m sure Lady Gaga is pretty upset with how Kanye’s outburst directly impacted her own career. Well we’re also hearing more on Lady Gaga and Kanye West, the duos tour apparently was canceled because of slow ticket pre-sales but it’s also being reported that Lady Gaga wants the show to continue as a solo act without Kanye West….
Prefix – If there is one thing the world needs right now it’s another reminder of what happened between Kanye West and Taylor Swift at last Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards. Thank goodness Jack White is willing to put it all on the line and give the public what it [Wait!Theres Tons More…]
There are rumors that Kanye West is really about to make good on his promise to take some time off and it could come sooner than later. That’s because there’s a mystery regarding his upcoming “Fame Kills” tour with Lady GaGa. Full dates came out this week on the Pollstar website but there wasn’t any confirmation from Kanye or GaGa’s camps that the dates were the real deal. Then yesterday morning, tour dates were posted on the Ticketmaster website and were then removed. Internet presales for some of the dates were supposed to go on sale yesterday morning but now it seems that won’t happen.
Kanye West apologized two times on his Web site and once on Jay Leno before actually calling Taylor Swift to personally apologize for interrupting her speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. Taylor said: “Kanye did call me and he was very sincere in his apology and I accepted that apology. The support that I got from other artists and the fans and so many people sticking by me, that’s what got me to the place where I could accept that apology. And I’m just very thankful that everyone showed me so much love.”
Kanye West wants everyone to know he did not claim he was replacing Michael Jackson as the new “King of Pop’”. Kanye went on his official Web site and wrote: “I was just listening to the radio and heard some quote about me saying I’m the new King of Pop. Not only did I not say that, I haven’t said anything.” “It makes me feel bad that obviously I made people feel that I would be corny enough to say something so whack after the passing of an idol, a legend and more than that a human being with feelings and a family.” “It scares me to think what people [Wait!Theres Tons More…]

Rap superstar Kanye West shocked his fellow celebrities backstage at a pre-MTV Europe Music Awards party in Liverpool, England on Wednesday – when he reportedly relieved himself on the floor of his dressing room.
The Stronger hit-maker was in the city to perform and collect the Ultimate Urban prize at the MTV ceremony on Thursday. However, his alleged behavior at the star-studded bash the night before stunned pop duo The Ting Tings, who had to share his dressing room at the party, reports Britain’s The Sun newspaper.
Drummer Jules De Martino says, “We ask for a lot of unusual things on our backstage rider but that ain’t (sic) one of them!”
We guess we should believe them when they tell us they’re just friends. Because Star magazine is reporting that Rihanna has been getting cozy with Kanye West!
A source tells Star Riri and Kanye were cuddling while backstage at a T.I. concert in Hollywood at the Key Club on October 3rd.
“Rihanna and Kanye hung out together after they performed their songs. Rihanna was sitting on Kanye’s lap, singing along to the music. Before long, the two were full-on kissing each other.
People were shocked. After a while, Rihanna must have realized people were watching, because she had her security escort her back to the dressing room.”
Uh-oh. Sounds like trouble in paradise. We definitely like Riri and Chris together, but we just can’t see her with Kanye!

The rap chart war between 50 Cent and Kanye West is on again – the pair’s new albums will be released a week apart in December.
West won the last battle when his album Graduation outsold his chart rival’s Curtis last year, after both records were released on the same day.
And now the rappers are set for a pre-Christmas showdown, with Interscope record bosses confirming 50’s new album, Before I Self Destruct, will hit stores on 9 December – a week before the release of West’s 808’s + Heartbreak.
West’s fighting talk has already started – in a blog posting on Friday, the Jesus Walks hitmaker writes, “I guarantee this (808’s + Heartbreak) will be 50’s favorite album of mine. This will be gangster’s album of the year.”
