R.I.P.
Donda West Laid to Rest

Kanye West buried his mother, Dr. Donda West, today in Oklahoma City, Okla.


The ceremony was held at the True Vine Ministry church, which can hold up to 2,500 people. Beyonce and Jay-Z attended the services, and John Legend and Anita Baker performed, according to AccessHollywood.com.

Kanye reportedly broke down inside the church while talking about his mother, saying he wanted her to not "rest in peace, but rest in paradise."

#19, This is not the time or place to say senseless racists remarks.
This woman earned a Doctorate as a struggling single mom, why would her skin color be a subject?

HAVE SOME RESPECT AND CLASS, SOMETHING YOUR MOTHER SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT YOU.

33. I think it is sinful what the media is doing to this man...nobody knows why she died....he has a good education and studied at a very prominent institution. I hope when the truth comes out and if he is found totally innocent of these charges, that the media apologizes. He has made some bad choices in the past, but that doesnt make him a bad doctor, just an irresponsible person with bad judgement at times...he was so good on Discovery...they are rats for desserting him now.

34. The man can not even lay his mom to rest without you ass holes taking pictures. that's like a reporter asking just after your parent or so on has died "how are you feeling right now."

35. Discovery promoted this guy -- whether it was a couple of years ago or now, his malpractice and crimes go back to the years when Discovery was featuring him on their show. Also, Discovery says he only did 10 procedures on their show - what does it matter if he did 1 procedure or 100?

Discovery promoted this guy, they know the power of television, and they know they are viewed as a respectable scientific organization.

These tv shows are irresponsible because people believe the featured doctors have somehow been test-proven by experts, and are the best doctors.

The truth is these tv doctors are often the worst doctors - they are salesmen interested in money over good medicine, they are egoists who care more about being tv stars than about their patients.

The good doctors are too busy to go on tv, or too dignified.

These tv shows simply have lists of doctors and go down the list until a doctor will appear on tv. There's no rigorous screening process.

Don't go to a doctor because he/she is on tv (and that includes Oprah.) And beware any doctor who lines their office with pictures of celebrity patients. In L.A. these usually end up being the sleaziest doctors.

37. To Ms. Alexander: Hang in there. That was really touching. God bless you. I hope to be able to help, maybe send a few bucks, we'll see. I wish you the best. Perhaps if 360 people sent $5, you could get the $1800.

43. Why is people calling Kanye a "talentless jerk" ON THIS SITE!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Kanye West is a musical genius and you would have to actually LISTEN to his greast music to know that. So if you don't listen to Hip Hop, DON'T comment on his work ethic. Kanye West is a great, talented man who speaks his mind. So respect that man and his moms for raising him and becoming great herself.

R.I.P Dr. Donda West

45. FIRST OF ALL FOLKS, KANYE'S MUSIC???, IS NOTHING BUT TRASH!! WHERE DO PEOPLE WITH ANY INTELLIGENCE AND CLASS CALL HIS RANTINGS MUSICAL ART!!
SECONDLY, WHAT IN HELL WAS HIS MOTHER THINKING WHEN SHE THOUGHT SHE COULD IMPROVE HER LOOKS WITH PLASTIC SURGERY. SHE WAS WUPPED WITH AN UGLY STICK FROM BIRTH!!
I DO HOPE DR. ADAMS IS FOUND INNOCENT OF THIS MESSY OUTCOME AFTER THE AUTOPSY IS REVEALED. HE IS A HARD WORKING INTELLIGENT MAN THAT DESERVES MORE RESPECT!! ANYONE THAT GOES IN FOR PLASTIC SURGERY IS ALWAYS TAKING THEIR CHANCES THAT IT MAY COME OUT WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS.
