kanye west did what he did to get attention. He most likely isn't doing so good in the pulls as he was before and new upcoming talent is taking his spot light. in the Celebrity world you have to be crazy, do something horrible something were people will remember what you did to really get noticed again. Thats what writers are looking for juicy material that everyone likes to gossip about, people have more fun talking smack then they do talking well about people for the most part. Perfect example look at paris hiltion who the hell knew who she was intill she s'd that dudes d and it was thrown on the net. Thats what kim kardashian did to try and get more attention, and as well as that high school music girl did as well, and even Britney spears by shaveing herself bald and going a-wall. but thats just my 2 sense
