Kanye Slips Out of Victoria's Secret Show?

Rather than rap for (and with) a flock of feathered lingerie models, it seems that Kanye West will not go on with the show.
Victoria's Secret/Kanye West
ET is reporting that the rapper, whose mother died just last week and whose autopsy was performed yesterday, has pulled out of a scheduled appearance at this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The annual jigglefest tapes tomorrow in Hollywood and will air Dec. 4.

We contacted Kanye's rep at Universal Music, who didn't return the call. Full Picture, the PR firm handling the show, says it hasn't heard about anything about Kanye's participation -- and assumes he's still performing.

17. Here's what I want to know...I want to know when it became okay to disclose the specific medical nature of a person's death to the world? I mean, I think it's okay to say "Dr. West died of complications resulting from elective surgery." I don't think it's okay to say what specific procedures she had done. I mean, isn't that doctor/patient privilege? And do you really think, with all of her amazing accomplishments, she'd want to be remembered as the person who died because she had a tummy tuck? Twenty years ago, didn't we get by without knowing such details? WHY is socially acceptable that to invade the medical records of a person?

18. I think he'd rather deal with the death of someone very close to him ---- HIS MOTHER. I don't think he's dropping out because he doesn't want to flock with feathers. GIVE US A BREAK WITH THIS NONSENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let the man grieve.

19. I am not a fan of Kanye West, but everytime I've seen him depicted with his mother, something wonderful about him, rises beautifully to the surface. I am so sorry that women who look fine, feel it necessary to alter themselves in invasive ways. I am especially disgusted with Fox and the way they've cheapened and exploited his mother's death. I wish him peace and a healthy way to grieve.

21. Woah, how's that again?

Kanye West, "whose mother died just last week and whose autopsy was performed yesterday"?

Man, he lost his mom AND he had an autopsy too? Tough week.

Time to hire a copy editor, TMZ.

22. hi i'm TMZ i cant mind my own f__king business about one f__king thing for five f__king minutes and let people in the limelight deal with their pain privately. no that would be too easy. i'm hell bent on making sure if someone poops, snorts, smokes, sharts, queefs, sneezes, or dies, i will be right there to let the world know what they are doing which, by extension, lets them know how worthless i actually am.

give kanye a break people. it's not gossip and its not news. you can do better.

24. I don't like Kanye West. I think he is truly racist. I also think his mother made him arrogant. BUT it is obvious that he loved his mother and I am sorry for his loss. Almost everyone outlives their own mother, and so there is nothing unusual about it. But it's sad. And I am sorry anyone has to go through it.

25. Ya, Kelly and Jamey are right. We should be more concerned about some star's momma, a reverse racist, than real people fighting a war! Buy a clue you STUPID ASSH...S!

26. He is going to put a cap in that Docs *ss. I bet he is shining the bullets right now. He doesn't need any money that would arise from a Med Mal suit. No pre op screening
or no post op care. The guy is one lousy Doc. I hope he gets some jail time.

27. I hope Kanye is happy now that Mom is gone. He should have known better to let her get all that work. Just say NO Mom. Well, too late now. Rock on!

28. To #20 "Hey Guys" & #25 "Nina",
If you are so worried about the troops and the Iraq War. Go to a NEWS source, this a popculture gossip site.
Don't refer to the rest of us as any lesser because we are committing on the story that we are clicked on. If I have the common sense to leave my anti-war comments on a NEWS site, then you should too. After all I "sound like a complete IDIOT"(#20). If an idiot can go to the proper site, I am sure that you will have only minor difficulties.

29. Kanye:
God bless you and your family. Your Mom and you had a great relationship, and that is rare today. She is still looking out for you from above. I am so sorry.
