Always good to see there are some celebrities willing to take responsibility for their actions, even if it is under the insistence of their reps.
It's no secret Kanye West like to throw the odd tanty when things don't go his way more memorable moments include his attack on U.S President George W. Bush during a live Hurricane Katrina fund raising telethon, two separate incidents at the MTV Video Music Awards (in 2006, Kanye stormed the stage with an expletive-laden outburst after losing out for Best Video, then in 2007, West exploded after his performance of 'Good Life' was moved from the main stage of the VMAs to a suite at the Palms Las Vegas) and most recently a lengthy tirade on his official blog lashing out at all those Boonaroo "squid brains" .
And while Kanye's wobblies may be entertaining for the rest of us, the rapper's own management team are reportedly plotting to get the outspoken 'Jesus Walks' star to attend anger management classes.
West's reps hope the classes will not only help restore the rapper's psychological well-being and his relationship with friends, but also help him grab some endorsement deals after advertisers expressed concerns that he might be difficult to work with.
"Not only has Kanye estranged himself from some pretty important people in the music business, but his temper has driven away a number of longtime friends," reports a source to The Chicago's Sun-Times.
It seems the rapper might already be exercising some restraint yesterday he responded via a blog over an issue with a portrait photographed by Harpers Bizzare magazine some time ago - minus the use of expletives or caps lock.
"I was made out to be Ben Stiller's character in the movie Dodgeball with the huge pic of himself wrestling a bull in his office," West complains. Kanye simply asks the magazine to mention that he is not the character in the portrait.
Whether the classes will fix what a good nap, Prozac and some fried chicken won't is still yet to be seen, but the question remains whether its anger management classes he should be attending Ego management might be more appropriate.
