Finally, an explanation re: Kanye's feeble attempt to become the next Arthur Fonzarelli.
The superstar/emotional/ninth-grader was wearing a letterman jacket this week ... now we know it's from Kamaikin High School in Washington.
We're guessing it was a shameless attempt to recruit fans, because students at the school went nuts after seeing the video on TMZ. They made Friday Kanye Day. No word if the school will change its name to Kanye High -- come to think about it....

"American Idol" wannabe Danny Noriega has issues.
We found out Danny attended Sierra (Continuation) High School in Azusa, Calif., a school dedicated to "at-risk" kids.
The crowd at the school? According to Sierra High's website, students are "significantly behind in credits -- and at risk of not graduating -- who want a second chance to succeed and achieve a high school diploma."
Danny graduated last year, but school sources tell us he had a rough time, working through his "gothic" phase -- that's when Danny boy went on his Christmas video rampage. One source says Danny had "multiple issues" which landed him at the school.
