BANSKY HEIST IN LA (VIDEO)

If you're interested in Banksy and don't want to be the victim of fraud, check this out:

As you may have already heard, the Banksy piece on LaBrea was removed yesterday morning. Jet Set Graffiti provides the complete story, as well as the above video exclusive. “On the morning of April 13th, 2010, Ace Gallery owner Doug Christmas organized the removal of a Banksy painting from it’s installation location at 410 S. LaBrea Ave. in Los Angeles. This “Banksy” has not been authenticated by the artist and is being sold as an unauthorized gallery artwork. Do NOT support this sale; the work is now considered counterfeit.” More information at www.jetsetgraffiti.com

RICK ROSS ROBBED BY GROUPIES?!?!?!?!!

Damn Officer Ricky...like that? Too busy eating "shrimp and crab meats" at the buffet huh? Anyways it's still a robbery and sucks, but interesting they said thousands of dollars worth of jewelry when Ross claims he's wearing hundreds of thousands to over a million worth of jewelry all the time. I think his show jewels got lifted in this case...explain that to the jeweler.

Kanye Arrested at LAX

Quite frankly I'm posting this because it happened in the city...not what I would expect in Kanye news. Guess he's street certified now, lol...but seriously I hope it doesn't go anywhere beyond this. Sometimes u gotta put paparazzi in their place. TMZ had the news first I believe.

OUT ON BAIL...

In the words of 2 Pac, he's the last person that was attacked just off the Las Vegas Strip while accompanying Mr. Knight...anyways, Suge was arrested today for assault then released on bail not too long ago.  But going back to court for his charges is where the problems may arise...read more here.

Kanye West's FATBURGER

Kanye West is opening a brand new Fatburger in Chicago, now that's not L.A. news per say...but it is in regards to the fact that the Fatburger franchise originated in South Central Los Angeles. Now it can be found in Las Vegas (top photo), Denver, Miami (Latifah's) and now Chicago. The original is pictured in the middle...in a hood not far from mine...and it's far from the glamourous (arguably) chain it has become. And the pic right above is to make you hungry for one, lol. Anyway below is a bit of the details I spotted at Eskay's.

The 2,353-square-foot, 74-seat restaurant will be at 15110 S. La Grange Road.
Hip-hop artist Kanye West’s KW Foods LLC, which has rights to develop 10 Fatburgers in the Chicago area, plans to open another one in January at 95th and Western Avenue in the Beverly neighborhood, according to a spokeswoman for Santa Monica, Calif.-based burger chain Fatburger Corp.

Burn Hollywood Burn

Famous Universal Studios Hollywood's backlot caught fire over the weekend, damaging many historical movie sets. Space used to film Back to the Future and the King Kong portion of their popular Backlot Tram Tour were the most notable damages. As of now water pressure is being blamed for not being able to save more of the property and investigation into the cause of the blaze is underway. I don't think going to Universal Studios is going to be as cool this summer. For more details go here

Looks like Mr. Taylor got his lil whip snatched while riding through Glendale. One of the other things that cops can do besides shoot unarmed citizens is pull you over and impound your car for some petty ish. But JT, if u making that money like that and u riding around in a Bentley...u should be able to pay to get your tags...guess Curtis ain't let him recoup off the "Advocate" yet. TMZ has more details.
