Kanye West says 'NO' to anger-management, Alex Rodriquez's wife on 'spiteful spending spree'

Rapper Kanye West is on the warpath (again). Actually, he's blogging mad. Spitting tacks, even.

So what's he got his Calvin Klein's in a twist over this time? The idea that he needs to deflate his swelling ego, ditch the grump, and do a Naomi Campbell.

Anger management

Rumours began swirling late last week that West had so antagonised those around him with his temper tantrums (namely his management), that the idea of him attending anger-management classes was mooted.

Let's be honest, West is no-doubt a talented tyke, but he needs to chill the hell out and not be so testy. Anger-busting classes sounds like a great idea. Look what they did for Campbell. Oh, actually...

Anyway, West's management allegedly dreamed up the idea for two reasons, according to the Chicago Sun-Times: "To help his personal psychological well-being and relationship with friends - and to aid in him snaring lucrative endorsement deals."

Two major corporates are said to be interested in using West as a spokesperson, but are stressing out over "how easy he'll be to work with".

A source says: "Not only has Kanye estranged himself from some pretty important people in the music business, but his temper has driven away a number of longtime friends."

Predictably, West has responded to the news and used his blog to combat those pesky rumours.

He vehemently denies that he has anger management issues.

"Do yall remember when people said my fiance was pregnant???? What happened to that rumor????? I guess after we broke up it was just forgot about???? I'm just using that as an example of how people make up stuff and everybody runs with it. I had my own family asking me about that," West wrote in his blog yesterday.

"Now the media is saying I'm going to anger management something or 'nother. I have never had any conversations about anger management. If anything, I need anger enhancement!! lol! I get off the plane in Hawaii today and the world is saying my management team said blah blah blah... SIIIIIIGGGHHHH! I told the media you can't make up lies about me because I have a media outlet myself. Oh and sidebar I don't know if everyone has realised this yet but I don't do interviews if there's anything I wanna say I'll say right here on my own blog."

Yes, and don't we know it. That blog of his is a lethal weapon. Exhibit 20067: take his other big blog sulk earlier this week, for example.

West reportedly got the hump over an article that appeared in Harper's Bazzar last year.

The article in question claimed, of all things, that he has a painting of himself depicted as an angel on his dining room ceiling.

West was not amused. So he took to his trusted laptop and tinkered away at those worn-out keys to make glorious word babies that only a devoted parent would love.

He blogged on his blog: "To put it short as Kanyely possible(don't mean to speak in third person).... Harper's Bazaar came to my home, took pics, asked a lot of questions and then assumed the painting in my dining room was of me as an angel. This isn't true and it bothered me greatly because people think I'm so so so cocky that I would have something like that. I'm sure it was an inside joke to everyone from the magazine in my home that day. People would come over my house after that and say, " I heard about this pic of you as an angel!" I would have appreciated if Harper's Bazaar would have put in some type of blurb to clear it up. I wanted people to see my home because I spent 2 years gutting it and was proud. I'm just a regular guy with cool stuff in his crib but instead I was made out to be Ben Stiller's character in the movie 'Dodgeball' with the huge pic of him wrestling a bull in his office. Why didn't they write that my house had no pics of me, no plaques or awards, just art.

I guess it's bittersweet, you spend half your life trying to become larger than life and the other half trying to just live a real life again."

In with anger, out with love, Mr West.

The Lost Boys

Rumour has it that '80s teen heartthrob Corey Haim is allegedly back on the drugs.

Haim and fellow actor Corey Feldman are currently giving us an eyeful of their train-wreck lives via their captivating The Two Coreys reality TV series.

The last episode was an education.

Rosie O'Donnell has apparently compared working with Barbara Walters on

The View

to being raped. Well, equal to being sodomised by cleaning products in a women's prison, at least.

I have no idea what she's waffling on about either.

Blind items

Guess the celebutards...

"Which celeb insists on having his flunkies dust down his hotel suite with a white glove before he enters? But after a couple of drinks the sweaty star has no idea where he is anyway."

Mirror

"Reliable sources close to a sorta-hit series that I adore tell me that the show's writers have concocted a humdinger of a curveball for the upcoming season that is so twisty it will take the program in a completely new direction - and an inspired (not to mention timely) direction, at that! Here's a hint to get those wheels a turnin': The twist in question is a little gay. No, make that a lot gay."

EW

"Which professional athlete who's well known for playing the field with famous ladies is comforting the estranged wife of a fellow athlete as the couple goes through a divorce? The comforting was recently ratcheted up to a full-blown affair, despite the fact that he is very involved with an A-list starlet. Thankfully, the ladies live in separate states." No, it's not A-Rod.

NYDN

That's niece

Brad Pitt is not a fan of Angelina Jolie's brother, James Haven.

The

National Enquirer

reports:

"My spy reports that Brad Pitt recoiled in horror when two in the oven Angie suddenly informed him that... she'd invited her beloved bro' to bear witness with them in the birthing room when the Jolie-Pitt angels touch down on Earth! Shocked to the core by Angelina's edict, Brad refused - instantly and angrily - triggering a battle royal between the couple, with Angelina insisting that "Uncle Jimmy" should be right there at Ground Zero to experience the emotion of seeing his nieces born, and Brad fuming: It's just plain weird and it ain't gonna happen!"

The source added: "He can be there, but not in the room!"

Blogger's briefs

The latest on this week's headline-hogging celebrity sinners and winners.

Madonna's 'hanky panky' with the Yankee

TMZ.com

wants you to believe that Madonna and Guy Ritchie have been planning the media coverage over their alleged divorce for months, in the hope that the hype will help sell tickets for Madge's upcoming tour. Riiight.

While over at The Sun

Baseball star Alex Rodriguez is being accused of

emotionally abandoning his wife

and children. Oh, and he's supposedly still hung up on Madge, natch.

Amy Winehouse: everyone's favourite waste of time

She's done drugs, booze, men and knitting. So what's Amy Winehouse's latest vice?

Sunbeds

. Wino is apparently hooked on sunning herself under artificial rays, in a vain attempt to make her skin brown. My money's on her falling asleep under her sunbed and ending up looking like

Hath-a-way to do it

Anne Hathaway has reportedly turned to a psychic masseuse to help her get over her split from Raffaello Follieri.

Although wary of Hollywood stars that enlist the help of psychics to help guide them through times of turmoil, Hathaway admits that she consulted with a psychic herself.

She says, "The most Hollywood thing about me is that I have a psychic masseuse. When I was in Los Angeles for the Oscars, I was telling her that I'm really struggling for hope right now. I felt like the walls of the world were closing in a little bit. And she said that love is the only action. Everything else is reaction."

How profound. I can see why Hathaway found that gem so enlightening. You certainly got your money's worth there, love.

So what exactly does a psychic masseuse look like? A bit like

this

, me thinks. All bouffant, swinging pearls and gin and tonic, darling. One look at her and you know she's channeling something from a higher plane.

That's my girl

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Baseball star Alex Rodriguez's estranged wife Cynthia is having the time of her life in Paris, according to news reports.

Is she crying in her cornflakes? Mourning the death of her six-year marriage? Not exactly...

Word has it that girlfriend is hitting A-Rod where it hurts - in his wallet.

Team A-Rod is accusing

spurned Cynthia

of going on a "spiteful spending spree" in Paris, and maxing out her hubby's credit card to the tune of US$100,000.

"She's been spending wildly," an A-Rod pal said.

The shopping queen has also barred A-Rod from seeing their two daughters while she's in Paris.

"Alex desperately wanted to see his children while she was in Paris," a source said. "She blocked him. She said, 'You cannot see them.'"

Figures. Not that I'm taking sides here, but if the rumours are true, and A-Rod has been having hanky panky with Madonna, then Cynthia has my blessing. You go girl. She just wants revenge. Is that so wrong?

I mean, peddling his plastic all over town is pretty tame compared to other acts of break up revenge I've heard of...

My personal favourites are:

*

Fresh prawns stuffed inside your ex's curtain rod/barely-used drawer.

*

Mustard seeds on carpet - sprinkle lightly with water, let nature do its thing.

And the ultimate revenge? Move on and prove that you're better than that. Apathy kills.

See you same time, same place on Friday for the usual shenanigans? Fabulous.

Auf Wiedersehen.
