Kanye West Smashes Photog's Camera, is Arrested at LAX

Last year, Kanye West flipped out backstage at MTV's Video Music Awards and swore he'd never come back. Sunday night he was there and closed out the show, but this morning the books are open after West snapped, smashing a photographers camera at LAX Terminal 4. West was arrested just before 8 a.m. on charges of battery and vandalism and remains in custody at the airport, according to reports. TMZ has video here.

He looks like a chipmunk that just came from the dentist.

A very rich, unappreciative, annoying and overrated chipmunk
