‘Voice of our generation’ Kanye West, is reportedly chasing after supermodel Sessilee Lopez.  Kanye personally selected the supermodel beauty to appear in his music video for the single ‘Flashing Lights,’ and apparently developed a crush.

A tattletale friend of Sessilee’s is quoted by Britain’s The Sun newspaper as saying: “Kanye was instantly smitten with Sessilee and it’s not hard to see why. But it’s more than just looks for Kanye, they get on really well and have a deep connection.  Recently, Kanye has invited Sessilee to several parties and the pair have also had a few quiet nights together.”

However, it seems 31-year-old Kanye who has been officially single since splitting from fiancee Alexis Phifer in April, faces competition for the American models affections.

Sessilee who appeared  at Victoria’s Secret fashion show in Miami earlier this month (photo right) is one of the hottest models around and is being romantically pursued by a host of handsome stars.

So, the voice of our generation aka Kanye West was busted by the cops at his hotel in Gateshead, England early this morning according TMZ. He was arrested for allegedly getting into some kind of violent altercation with a photog outside of the Tup Tup club in Newcastle.

This isn’t Kanye’s first pap smackdown. He was arrested in September for getting rough with a pap, but charges were never filed. The photog claims Kanye smashed his camera into his face in around 2AM London time. According to the snapper, it all went down when Kanye was leaving the club with 4 girls, upset that he was being captured on film.

The cops in England released Kanye after a short investigation this morning. They probably finally realized who they were dealing with … Because in a new interview with the AP, Kanye humbly tells that he is the voice of his generation:

“I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice. It’s me settling into that position of just really accepting that it’s one thing to say you want to do it and it’s another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan. There were people who had the potential to do it but they went on vacation, so when Justin (Timberlake) went on vacation I made albums. And it just came out to be that.”

It’s on again! A new rap chart battle between Kanye West and 50 Cent will likely happen this December as both will release new albums. West won the last showdown when his album Graduation outsold 50’s Curtis last year (Sep07), after both records were released on the same day. Supposedly 50 said before the last album showdown: “If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on Sept. 11, I’ll no longer write music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out any more solo albums.”

And now the rappers are set for another pre-Christmas showdown, with Interscope record bosses confirming 50’s new album, Before I Self Destruct, will hit stores on December 9, (08) - a week before the release of West’s 808’s & Heartbreak.

Both rappers are warming up for the showdown. At a show in Albany, New York, 50 jokingly performed a bit of West’s recent single, “Love Lockdown,” while G-Unit member Tony Yayo pretended to smash a camera, referring to West’s arrest after a confrontation with paparazzi in Los Angeles last week.

West has already taken to his blog posting on Friday in good humor: “I guarantee this (808’s & Heartbreak) will be 50’s favorite album of mine. This will be gangster’s album of the year.”

It’s still possible that one of the record labels might blink and change the release dates but somehow with so much pride on the line we doubt it.

Kanye West was arrested at LAX today for felony vandalism. While at the American Airlines terminal a still photographer started snapping his camera at him. Kanye wasn’t feeling very photogenic, and snatched the photog’s camera and smashed it on the ground.

TMZ was on the scene filming the action above and became part of the act. Kanye’s bodyguard tried to stop the shooting and tried wrestling the camera away. The bodyguard prevailed and threw the camera to the ground, breaking it.

According to the TMZ camera guy here’s what happened next. Kanye tried to leave to board his plane, but cops stopped him before he got to security. The cops then interviewed the TMZ video guy (Erik), the still photog, Kanye and his assistant.

This is where it gets even crazier. The cops asked Erik if he videotaped the incident and Erik said he had. That’s when Kanye lunged toward him and said, “Give me the fu***ng videotape.” Cops had to restrain Kanye as he tried coming at Erik. Kanye and his assistant are currently being booked for felony vandalism.

Comedian Ron White has reportedly been arrested for possession of marijuana after he was stopped by police as he stepped off a plane in Florida.
The Grammy-nominated funnyman, who performs with Jeff Foxworthy as part of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, is said to have been detained by cops in Vero Beach, Florida, today after flying in for a show.
Officers allegedly found a small amount of pot and a pipe, and the comedian was arrested. He was later charged with possessing drug paraphernalia and less than 20 grams of marijuana, and was released on $1,000 bail.
White turned up an hour late for his show that evening at the Sunrise Theatre in Fort Pierce.
Officer John Morrison, of Vero Beach Police, said they had received an anonymous tip-off that a passenger on an airplane due to land at 5 p.m. on Wednesday would be carrying illegal drugs. Only White and the pilot were on the plane, and the 51-year-old comedian was cooperative with detectives, Morrison said. Well I guess White has one more arrest story to use in his skits.

Rapper extraordinaire Kanye West is also known to have a notoriously large ego and short temper and apparently his ‘people’ have become worried about the later.

He famously stormed the stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards when Justice won an award in 2006 and recently launched an f-word rant on his blog after he was booed at his recent gig at the Bonanaroo festival after leaving the audience waiting for almost two hours.
According to The UK Sun, his management people thinks his temper might mess up future business ventures, so they’ve asked him to get some help in the form of  anger management classes. Apparently, both a major cosmetics/fragrance firm and an automotive manufacturer are interested in West as a spokesman but worried about “how easy he’ll be to work with.”

A source said, “Kanye’s management team came up with the idea. His mood swings were beginning to play a part in his commercial enterprises as people felt he was miserable all the time. The rapper is in line for deals with two big firms but both have started asking how easy he would be to work with.”

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that West’s rage is also taking its toll on his personal relationships as well. “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,” a source said.

Newly single Kanye West appears to have a new lady in his life, Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks. Kanye broke off his engagement to Alexis Phifer in April this year.

Selita in case you don’t recognize the name, used to be engaged to Nick Cannon,
with a ring very similar to Mariah Carey’s.

Kanye 31, and Selita 25, have been spotted looking cozy together, although no official word from either side has been released.  And why would they!

Most recently, Kanye and his producer were seen this weekend at STK in New York, having dinner with Selita.

An onlooker tells Life & Style that Kanye and Selita “didn’t look like a couple getting to know each other — they looked like they were already dating. They were openly affectionate at the dinner table, cuddling, kissing and whispering in each other’s ears.”

Later the two went upstairs to a private VIP room for what the onlooker says was a full-on make-out session. They topped the evening off with some clubbing at Tenjune and were seen leaving together afterwards in the same car.
