COMMUNITY SERVICE FOR KANYE WEST

Rap superstar Kanye West and his road manager have been ordered to do 50 hours of community service after a brawl with photographers last year.
Once they have done so a Los Angeles judge will dismiss the charges against them both.
West, 32, pleaded not guilty in May to misdemeanour vandalism, battery and grand theft stemming from the run-in at Los Angeles International Airport in September last year.
His roadie, Don Crawley, 33, pleaded not guilty to two counts of each charge.
West's lawyer, Blair Berk, convinced the judge the criminal charges were too harsh, and said West will perform his volunteer work with the American Red Cross.
He also told the court West had gone into voluntary anger management counselling after the incident, and completed 12 one-hour sessions.
And he said West had reached a civil settlement last month with the photographers, who wrote to the court that they were satisfied with the payment.
West and Crawley were arrested while trying to take a flight to Honolulu. Video of the scuffle showed both men taking a camera from a photographer and smashing it to the ground, and Crawley was accused of smashing a second photographer's equipment.
Prosecutor Felton Newell argued the charges should not be dismissed because the men acted with “reckless disregard” and one of the photographers was slightly injured.
But Court Commission Mark Zuckman ruled against him because the men had taken anger management courses, settled with the lensmen, and had no previous criminal record.
After the hearing Berk said: “I'm very pleased that the court granted a dismissal of all the charges.”
Last November West was arrested in Newcastle Upon Tyne after another confrontation with a photographer but was not charged.
