Kanye West and his tour manager Don C were arrested this morning at LAX airport for smashing a photographer’s camera to the ground.

Kanye apparently was not feeling very photogenic this morning and tried to get the paps away from him. Being as persistent as they are to get their footage, a fight broke out against Kanye, his assistant, and the photographer.  Kanye’s tour manager Don C ran after the pap and threw the camera to the floor and Kanye tried to grab the tape. Kanye and his tour manager Damu were both taken in for booking on the charge of felony vandalism.

The agency that was involved was TMZ. Footage of the attack will no doubt be shown on TMZ soon.

The late Anna Nicole Smith’s mother, Vergie Arthur, is suing TMZ and Howard K. Stern for ruining her image. Vergie claims that TMZ and Howard K. Stern ruined her image by running a story titled, “Vergie has a son with step-brother.”

She filed the lawsuit on Monday in a Texas State court. The legal documents state that, “Their goal was simple - to ‘destroy’ anyone that was opposed to Howard K. Stern or his interest.”

I hope that is not her only argument because I don’t think anyone really cared about Howard K. Stern or his interest and as far as her image is concerned she tarnished it herself years ago.

Britney was rushed to UCLA Medical Center at 1am this morning, escorted by a small army of police on motorcycles, cruisers and helicopters.

The Los Angeles Times reported the 26-year-old was removed from her home and placed on a “mental health evaluation hold.” Brit’s psychiatrist prompted the call for her to be taken away for evaluation because she was alarmed by the singer’s recent reckless driving and conduct and decided that another 5150 hold was necessary. TMZ reported that the plan to hospitalize Spears had been launched days ago and was abandoned at the last minute on Wednesday, then put into place early Thursday and was so intricate that the Federal Aviation Administration had to be contacted to clear airspace on the route to the hospital. Several outlets are reporting that Spears went calmly, and had not slept for three days; she was videotaped purchasing a case of an energy drink earlier this week, and was photographed nodding off in her car.

Sam Lutfi told LA Times that Brit wanted to go to the hospital. “She went willingly. It was like something in her heart was telling her she should go. She knew something was wrong,” Lutfi said.

Brit was there under 5150 yet again, meaning an individual who is considered by a medical professional to be a danger to herself or others can be involuntarily committed to a mental institution by her family or even friends. A 5150 hold translates into 72 hours in a locked mental institution and must be approved by trained professionals like a psychiatrist or a nurse.

Early in the evening, Britney’s parents seemed to have a had a fight with Lutfi saying that they wanted him out of her life forever. TMZ website reported that Jamie Spears is infuriated with Lutfi’s involvement and has accused him of “trying to control his daughter’s mind.”

Britney Spears went crazy today yelling at her manager/friend, Sam Lufti, in a British accent. She was screaming,“I want to drive my f***ing car!”; “Get out of the f***ing car!”; “Drive my f***ing car is what I gotta do!”; etc. etc.

Britney has really bad judgment when it comes to picking friends. Sam Lufti has had several restraining orders in his personal history–including a 3 year restraining order granted by an Orange County Judge back in April.

The petition for the order came from Danny Haines (a former friend of Lufti), who claimed that Lufti was a “dangerous person.” Apparently the judge agreed, because she granted the 3 year restraining order not only for Haines, but also for his mother and sister! (Source: MTV.com)
