Kanye West
was arrested in the early hours yesterday after a dispute with paparazzi outside a nightclub in Newcastle, northern England.
West, 31, was detained outside the Tup Tup Palace bar. It's the second time in 10 weeks the rapper has been arrested on charges of assault.

Refreshing outlook
Not all women are into fad diets or looking stick-thin.
For her nude scenes in the soon-to-be-released film
The Reader
,
Kate Winslet
refused to use a body double or buy into any fad diets.
Among her imperfections, Winslet lists her "crumble baby belly . . . boobs are worse for wear after two kids. . . . My body's different. It has settled into what it is now. None of this different-diets lark. I can't remember the last time I tried some new fad."
The five-time Oscar nominee is married to director
Sam Mendes
and has two children,
Mia
, 8 and
Joe
, 5.
Chubby's in town

Chubby Checker
, will be signing copies of his new release

A mighty fall
Damon Dash
, cofounder of Roc-A-Fella Records and Rocawear, is in money trouble.
Dash, 37, owes $2.1 million to New York State and $4,500 in back worker's comp payments, and a lawsuit says he stiffed the law firm handling his child-custody case.
Dash sold his share of the Rocawear empire to
Jay-Z
for $20 million. He once owned Keds, a vodka company, and 1,300 pairs of shoes.
