Kanye West May Face Jail Time For His Anger Management Issues!




Kanye West is too arrogant for his own good.Now,his attitude may very well get him some time in jail.Most stars get irritated with the barrage of photographers that try & capture their every move!But,it goes along with the territory.And most of these celebrities crave the attention once it's gone.They can't have it both ways.You can't use the media when you want too.Once you open Pandora's box,it's nearly impossible to close it!

Don't pursue a life of fame & fortune if all you really want is privacy
.Maybe he should never have decided to be both a producer & a rapper.Kanye West should have just stayed behind the scenes.But,he's way too big-headed for that!


Here's more on the charges that Mr. West is facing for his behavior from CNN:

"Rapper Kanye West and his business manager face vandalism, battery and grand theft charges in connection with a scuffle with photographers at Los Angeles International Airport last September.

The Los Angeles County district attorney declined to file felony charges, but L.A. City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo decided to charge West, 31, and Don Crawley, 33, with misdemeanors Wednesday.

Police arrested West on September 11, 2008, after an altercation with two paparazzi, airport police said.

The incident, which took place near the airport's Terminal 4, occurred between the rap star and Crawley -- his road manager and bodyguard -- and a photographer and a cameraman who were taking their photos, airport police said.

The cameras of the paparazzi were damaged in the altercation, police said.

West was charged with one count of vandalism, one count of grand theft and one count of battery, according to Frank Mateljan, the spokesman for the city attorney.

Crawley was charged with two counts of vandalism, two counts of grand theft and two counts of battery, Mateljan said.

If convicted of all charges, West could face up to two years and six months in jail, while Crawley could face up to five years, he said.

Their arraignment hearing is set for April 14 at the Los Angeles Airport Courthouse, he said."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

The Carbon Dioxide Emissions Issue: China Says They Shouldn't Have To Pay For It!


China says that Western nations are responsible for the carbon emissions issue.Even though they currently emit the most carbon dioxide in the world.But,they say that has not always been the case.Historically,wealthy nations have put more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than China has.As a producing nation,they feel that the consuming nations are the one that should bear the cost.That stance could pose another serious problem for the Obama administration.As if they really needed anymore!Here's more on this story from The Guardian:

"China wants consumer countries to take responsibility for the carbon emissions generated in the manufacture of goods, not the producer countries that export them, according to its top climate change negotiator.


The tough bargaining position set out by Li Gao, whose country is now the biggest emitter of carbon dioxide in the world, looks set to be a major hurdle for the Obama administration and other developed nations as they seek to find common ground ahead of a crucial UN climate change meeting in Copenhagen in December.


Since taking power, President Barack Obama has signalled his readiness to enter into an international agreement on reducing emissions, to be negotiated in Copenhagen. This is in contrast with his predecessor George Bush who dropped out of the Kyoto protocol because it did not set binding targets for big developing nations China.


A deal between the two countries is widely seen as critical in reaching an international agreement. China overtook the United States as the biggest emitter in 2006 and its dependence on coal-fired power looks likely to ensure that it will remain in this position for decades to come. Li, who was in Washington for a preliminary meeting of the major emitting nations, set out China's position that western consumers were largely to blame.


"As one of the developing countries, we are at the low end of the production line for the global economy. We produce products and these products are consumed by other countries... This share of emissions should be taken by the consumers, not the producers," said Li, who serves in China's powerful National Development and Reform Commission. He added that between 15% and 25% of all the country's global warming emissions resulted from manufacturing exports."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Kelis Better Stop Coloring Her Hair While She's Pregnant!


Kelis looks like a sexy hot mama!But,she should have let her hair go natural while she's pregnant!She can get the highlighted streaks after she drops her baby.When you are with child,you have to give certain things up.Using chemicals in your hair is one of them!There are differing opinions about this issue,but I say it's better to be safe than sorry.Here's more on that from ehow.com:

"Any pregnant woman who dyes her hair has probably wondered whether it would be safe for the baby if the mother were exposed to hair dye. Even asking a doctor for the answer doesn't always help because doctors have differing views on the subject.

Before people understood how many chemicals actually get past the placenta and affect the baby, women didn't worry much about what chemicals they exposed themselves to. But during the 1970s, many substances were found to harm fetuses, including certain medications and some toxic chemicals commonly found in the home. Since then, many women have been worried about the chemicals they come into contact with, including those in hair dyes.

Hair dyes often contain bleach to lighten the hair. They also generally contain a mixture of chemicals like dihydroxybenzene, which may be harmful if consumed. However, placing the dyes on your hair means that the perceived danger is in absorbing the chemicals through the bloodstream. Some doctors worry that any amount of hair dye being absorbed through the skin is potentially harmful while many doctors tell their patients that dyeing their hair will result in absorbing a negligible amount of these chemicals."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
