The vandalism case brought against Kanye West and his manager Don Crowley by two photographers was dismissed about an hour ago, after Kanye’s lawyer was able to prove that his clients had performed at least 50 hours of community service with the Red Cross.

Kanye and his manager were both charged with vandalism, battery, and grand theft for destroying the camera equipment of the photographers at LAX in September, 2008. The judge in the case offered the community service agreement back in October. Both Kanye and Don were also ordered to attend an anger management class.

Kanye West has become PETA’s latest target, after he was spotted wearing a fur coat during Men’s Fashion Week in Paris last week.

The singer and his strange girlfriend Amber Rose both wore dead lynxes to the event, prompting PETA’s VP, Dan Matthews to call them “pathetic creatures from a shabby roadside zoo”.

The judge in Kanye West’s 2008 battery and vandalism case dismissed all three misdemeanor charges against him and his road manager Don Crawley in court today.

Kanye and Don were both accused of breaking a photographer’s cameras at LAX in September of last year. According to Kanye’s lawyer, the attacks were incited by the overzealous paparazzi. He added that the pair were remorseful over the fight, and that they had already paid the photog back for the broken cameras.

The judge agreed to drop the case, under the condition that Kanye and Don each complete 50 hours of community service.

Amber Rose wants you to know that contrary to the rumors, Kanye West is not dead. She twatted last night,

This RIPKanyeWest topic is not funny and its NOT TRUE! He has people like myself and his family that love him very much.

Its in extreme poor taste to have that as a trendy topic. It’s totally disrespectful to make up a story like this where all human

and we all make mistakes and to say someone died cuz of a mistake is ridiculous. U wouldn’t want someone to say that about u.

Or someone u love it’s not funny.

In other Kanye news, there’s the new Spike Jonze video of Kanye stabbing himself (above). Genius pulled the video from his blog yesterday shortly after posting it.

Kanye West’s fashion line Pastelle has bit the dust, just days after some designs from the collection were leaked online. Kanye had been working on the range for about three years, and he had even cleared his recent schedule to dedicate all of his precious Kanye time to working on it.

Some people are blaming that Taylor Swift incident for the drop. No official reason has yet been given.

Yesterday, Beyonce finally opened her mouth to let out a few words on that whole Kanye West VMA outburst incident. She told O: The Oprah Magazine,

Well, I knew his intentions, and I knew he was standing up for art; and he told me before, when they said the nominees, he’s like, ‘You have this award. And when they didn’t call my name he was, like, completely shocked. And when he walked on the stage, I was like, ‘No, no, no!’ and then he spoke, and I was like, ‘Oh, no, no, no!’

But in the end, it ended up being a great night, and Taylor Swift did get her moment — and I didn’t have to make an acceptance speech.

We sense order in the universe.

Taylor Swift walked out on an interview at a Tampa Bay radio station this morning after the DJ relentlessly pressed her to elaborate on last week’s Kanye West VMA incident.

After politely asking the DJ three times to change the subject, Taylor got up and left without saying another word. They should invite Kanye on. We hear he’s got more to say.

Here’s some hard-hitting, “kind of interesting” news from CNN: VIDEO of president Obama calling Kanye West a jackass.

Unfortunately, the clip doesn’t include the very serious discussion that followed.

According to a rep from The View, Kanye West made a fourth apology to Taylor Swift today after Taylor made an appearance on the show to give her personal account of the VMA incident. This time, the apology was private.

Kanye reportedly called Taylor up on the phone, and gave her his sob story which probably involved a bit about his undoubtedly disappointed late mother, and Taylor accepted the apology. Unfortunately for Kanye, no one will ever think of him as a genius again.

ABC Nightline anchor Terry Moran got in some big journalistic trouble this morning after he tweeted that Barack Obama had called Kanye West a jackass during a CNBC interview. He wrote,

Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential

The tweet has since been removed from the site, and ABC issued the following statement apologizing for the incident:

In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview,” ABC said.

That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again.

Somehow all this is really big national news.

You know it’s bad when even Joe Jackson has some criticisms about your character. The pimpiest of all stage dads joined in on the Kanye West shunning party by releasing a statement today about the Taylor Swift VMA moment. Joe said,

I don’t know what he was doing, he jumped up on stage and snatched that microphone out of that poor girl’s hand. They should blackball him out of show business for that. He just leapt up there, that was bad.

I had just gotten through speaking to him, he was introducing me to his girlfriend, and then three minutes later he jumped up on stage. And people booed Kanye all night.

Joe was spotted enjoying a chug from Kanye West’s bottle of Hennessy shortly before Kanye’s act of stupidity.

Kelly Clarkson jumped in on the Kanye West bashfest today by throwing in some awesomely low blows, verbally bitch-slapping his father and dead mother. Kelly ranted on her blog,

Dear Kanye,

What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like shit. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you…which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??

I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her…so why can’t you be?? I’m not even mad at you for being an asshole…I just pity you because you’re a sad human being.

On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!

Taylor Swift, you outsell him ….that’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!

The moment after Kanye West skipped up on stage to give props to Beyonce during Taylor Swift’s VMA acceptance speech, he woke up and realized that his little antic made him seem like much less of a genius to the few fans that he still had left. In an effort to restore his geniusness, Kanye decided to post an all-caps bulletin on his blog, apologizing for his stupidity. Kanye wrote,

I’M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD’VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE’S IN THE BLEACHERS! …………………… I’M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!…………….. BEYONCE’S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I’M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN’ THE SHOW AT THE CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE … WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I’M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!! YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME… THAT’S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! I’M NOT CRAZY YALL, I’M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I’M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!

Kanye’s bright moment passed quickly, however, and he later removed the apology from his blog.
