The Coolest Thing Kanye West Has Ever Done

Published | Updated

Kanye West spent 90 minutes gift wrapping presents for foster kids today at a charity event in NYC -- but he didn't do it for the publicity ... he did it because he happened to be in the area and he felt like helping out.

Sources tell TMZ West was not scheduled to attend the New Yorkers for Children's 8th annual "Wrap to Rap" event at the Ainsworth in NYC this afternoon ... but around 6:00 PM, he strolled right in and asked if he could help out.

We're told some people at the event asked West why he decided to roll in -- and Kanye explained he simply felt compelled to lend a hand because he believed it was a good cause.

Our sources say West cheerfully wrapped some of the 2,000 gifts that were donated by Wal-Mart ... and then quietly slipped out the back.

How's that for holiday spirit?

This is Daniel DiCrisco -- Anna Nicole Smith's former hairstylist and self-described "friend" -- out in Hollywood last night ... attempting to look like Anna during one of her most infamous drug binges.

The video that inspired this "costume" -- in which Anna was whacked out of her mind and couldn't remember if she was pregnant -- was admitted as evidence in the Howard K. Stern prescription drug case.

Now, with Stern and Anna's former psychiatrist Dr. Khristine Eroshevich being found guilty of conspiracy -- Anna's former friend thought this would be funny.
