Kanye West Glowing Review for Community Service In Photog Battery Case
Kanye West completed his community service in his paparazzi battery case, and he got a glowing report card.
Kanye's lawyer, Blair Berk, was in court Tuesday morning, where his LAX battery case wrapped up. Berk presented a letter from the Dean at Los Angeles Trade Technical College, where Kanye did his required 240 hours of community service in the fashion design program.
The letter sings Kanye's praises, "The contribution of the hands-on community service Mr. West has completed with our school has been of great benefit to our students and program."
According to the letter, Kanye did more hours than required -- a total of 262.
Kanye is still on informal probation but assuming he keeps his nose clean, he's in the clear.

Kim Kardashian My Website Is Totally Worth Every Penny
Kim Kardashian is shrugging off criticism over the $2.99 monthly fee she charges for access to her website ... she says it's actually a great deal.
Kim's taking heat from blogs and users who think she's already made enough money on consumers. But our sources close to Kim say she's cutting her fans a break for her makeup tutorials.
There's big business with makeup lectures ... people paying upwards of $500 to see Kim and her makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic live, so Kim thinks a $3 monthly fee is a steal.
And Kim says she's offering a lot more ... a style section where you can copy her everyday looks.
If that's not your thing ... there's always Khloe's new app where $2.99 buys you unlimited access to her workout videos.
Capitalism rules.

Amber Rose And Blac Chyna Making Waves
The list of things Amber Rose and Blac Chyna have in common keeps getting longer.

They say best friends are like sisters ... Kardashians beware.
Vanessa Williams Apology Accepted Miss America Smooths Things Over
Vanessa Williams and the Miss America Pageant just kissed and made up, more than 30 years after Williams was forced to hand over her crown.
The show opened Sunday night with Miss America CEO Sam Haskell apologizing to Williams and her mother Helen. Haskell noted that while none of the execs still with the pageant forced Vanessa to lose her crown, he still wanted to apologize for, "anything that was said or done" to her in 1984.
You might remember, Williams was forced to resign as Miss America after nude, girl-on-girl pics of her surfaced.
TMZ broke the story ... M.A. execs were in meltdown mode this week planning for Williams' appearance. They were under the impression she would be apologizing -- but it looks like they bit the bullet.
However, Vanessa didn't receive a new crown -- just a good-ole-fashioned apology.

Ice Cube Photog Sues 'Raiders' Tees Are ... Straight Outta Line
Ice Cube and Forever 21 are not only a totally unexpected pairing, it's an illegal one -- according to the guy who says the retail giant ripped off his pic of the rapper to make a buck.
The t-shirts in question show Cube's snarling face slapped on a mocked up Oakland Raiders logo. Perfect for that 20-something chick who's just dying to rep old school rap and the silver and black ... right?
Patrick Hoelck says not so fast. He's the photographer who took the famous pic of Ice Cube used on the t-shirt, and he says Forever 21, and another merch company called Control ... never got his permission.
In the lawsuit he just filed ... Hoelck says he sent both companies letters back in June demanding they yank the shirts. They didn't, so now he wants a jury to shut 'em down, and award him their profits.
Side note: Copyrights aside, the shirt seems kinda stupid to us, since Cube's sporting a Washington Nationals hat in the photo. Hardly screams Raider Nation.

Lewis Hamilton I've Got Kendall's Back Again ... At Fashion Week
Lewis Hamilton took a Rihanna detour (it's the thing to do, after all) ... but ended up right back with Kendall Jenner -- 'cause they were spotted out in NYC together looking pretty cozy.
The Kendall/Lewis rumors started swirling earlier this year when she was walking around the Monaco Grand Prix wearing what looked like his chain.
But then hurricane Rihanna started blowing in August, and it sure as hell looked like Lewis had moved on ... but you know how RiRi romances go.
Cut to NYC ... where it's now Fashion week. It's a huge event for KJ, so it's interesting that Lewis is hanging with her again. Kinda like when she showed up in Monaco for him.
One thing that's obvious --- Lewis just keeps winning.

Kris Jenner Selling Expensive Purse ... I Don't Do Brown!
The Kardashian Klan is usually into brown, but not when it comes to purses, apparently ... because Kris Jenner is selling her crazy expensive Hermes Birkin bag ... on eBay.
Jenner gave the bag to a company to handle the sale, but included a note with it which reads, "I know you'll find a good home for my baby!" Jenner's stationary appears to have a cougar on it ... too funny.
The bag was only carried six times and as for why she's selling, Jenner writes, "I am sure a lot of girls will understand me when I say, 'It just isn’t my color.'"
If it is your color ... and you have $18,950 ... KJ's old bag could be yours!
