Kanye's Not A Scrooge!

At least not that day!

Kanye West helped out at the Los Angeles Mission the day after Christmas by assisting the volunteers and serving lunch to the homeless — he even sported an apron!

"It's just important [to give back] when you're very blessed," said Kanye, who was there with his girlfriend Amber Rose.

Adding, "[It's nice] to spread your blessings and take time out, especially during theholidays to appreciate people who never get that appreciation. It makes me feel really good to come out here, [with] my family, and I just thank y'all [the Los Angeles Mission] for allowing us to be a part of this."

Sweet!

Is Kanye turning over a new leaf for 2010?

      Hey, Kanye may be a douche, but he's smart. He knows he's made a lot of mistakes, and yes, I do think he's ready to make changes. I think everyone deserves a second chance, even Kanye.



    4. 4

      good for him. he's a good guy deep down.



    5. 5

      Publicity stunt!!!! He is so disgusting. I have a friend who volunteers every year and never talks about it.



    6. 6

      no, kanye isn't turning over a new leaf for 2010 - he's always going to be the same arrogant asshole. he's just doing damage control right now….



    7. 7

      When are you going to marry Beyonce? We all know you want her babies after what you did to Taylor!!!



    8. 8

      Of course he's not a Scrooge…he's an asshole.



    9. 9

      Yeah he can be douchey, but some people are good deep down. It would be a publicity stunt if he had his own photography crew taking photos. Everyone deserves a second chance.



    10. 10

      All for media digestion.Fuck off and die asshole.



    11. 11

      I believe him. It is a great feeling to help out those in need and it does feel good. I've done this on certain holidays in my city. Everyone needs to feel appreciated. Happy Holidays to everyone!!!

      wooow! thats all i have to say is WOW!



    13. 13

      No, he's just trying to save whatever left over reputation he has. I think he's realized just how much of a douche he was this year and is trying to make up for it. Too little too late for him anyways. He needs to stop begin such an asshole first then we'll see. It never works when it's just for the holidays. We ain't stupid Kanye.

      Translation:
      "My PR firm told me that it is important to make it appear as if I want to spread my blessings and take time out, especially during the holidays when the media will cover these alleged charitable acts."
      -
      Does he really think that anyone buys this is anything other as a transparent/desperate attempt to make it look like he cares?



    15. 15

      FUCK TAYLOR SWIFT



    16. 16

      umm is it really that cold in LA to be wearing the jacket amber is??? its not nyc its california…but idk maybe im wrong cause im in ny

      I have always believed that part of the behaviour that we have seen from Kanye in the last year was due to the accidental death of his mother. He never really had time to grieve as he was in the middle of a huge tour and I"m sure 1,000 other things that are going on within the Kanye machine.

      It does not excuse his behaviour, it just might explain it.

      A little more about the charity and less about Kanye, from the source article.
      The Los Angeles Mission is a nonprofit organization that has been serving the homeless for more than 70 years. Located in L.A.'s downtown Skid Row district, the organization offers employment, transitional services and rehabilitation to those struggling with substance abuse.

      The Grammy Awards were the straw that broke the camel's back. Previously a Grammy/Industry darling no real love was show this year in the nominations. He was nominated 6 times but, do you notice something:
      "Make Her Say" (with Kid Cudi & Common)
      "Amazing" (with Young Jeezy)
      "Ego" (with Beyoncé)
      "Knock You Down" (with Keri Hilson & Ne-Yo)
      "Run This Town" (with Jay-Z & Rihanna) Performance
      "Run This Town" (with Jay-Z & Rihanna) Song
      EVERY nomination came for work with other artists and only one of the six from 808s & Heartbreak.
      Positive press is what he desperately needs.



    21. 21

      What a load of fucking crap! He should crawl back under his rock and fuck off. If he really meant to do it for the homeless, then why tell the press about it?



    22. 22

      it's the first time I see her with ¨decent¨ clothes but the clothes still horrible

      The Kanye tour of contrition has re-begun. No matter. Any charity is direly needed these days, and if West wants to spread some around, he should.



    25. 25

      OMG…I have never seen this bitch in clothes! She's hot though.



    26. 26

      He can never repair his image-too much damage
