Kanye West Banned From 'Hope For Haiti'???

You would think with all of the money/donations that they need to raise for Haiti, that they would allow anyone of status to perform to help draw the crowd. For Kanye West, that may NOT be the case.

Late last nite, sources claimed that Kanye West had been banned from performing at 'Hope For Haiti' due to his past public outbursts.

According to a MTV rep, those rumors are completely bogus.

"That's absolutely not true. We DID reach out to Kanye." West didn't respond. (US Magazine)

Banned or not, it's not gonna stop Ye from grabbing attention. West, who had been off the scene for a minute, showed in Paris with his girl for Fashion Week, turning heads...and not necessarily in a good way!
