Names and faces

Police were investigating a purported scuffle Friday between rapper Kanye West and a cameraman at Los Angeles International Airport, where paparazzi are known to lurk in hopes of snapping shots of celebrities. Numerous witnesses were interviewed about the afternoon tussle to compile a report for detectives to investigate, airport police Sgt. Steve Savala said. TMZ posted a video of the supposed scrap, showing West being thronged by cameras while trying to get into a white Mercedes-Benz waiting at the curb. As flashbulbs illuminate his face, West accuses the paparazzi of trying to provoke him “so I have to pay you, like, $250,000.” He then appears to lunge at a photographer’s camera and try to wrestle it away. West has had similar run-ins at the Los Angeles airport with photographers who follow his every move. The rapper’s critically acclaimed album Yeezus debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts last month, but sales have dropped off in weeks since.

The late superstar Bruce Lee is best-known for the kung fu skills he displayed in his movies, but his daughter hopes that more people take the effort to understand his teachings and life philosophy. Marking his death 40 years ago Saturday, the Hong Kong government teamed up with the Bruce Lee Foundation to put together an exhibition to showcase the late star’s life. The exhibition that opened Saturday, “Bruce Lee: Kung fu. Art. Life,” including photos, costumes and videos. Lee died at the height of his fame because of an allergic reaction to painkillers at the age of 32. Shannon Lee was 4 when her father died. The president of the Bruce Lee Foundation, Shannon Lee said not many people know the depth of her father as a man, with most appreciating only his martial-arts skills. “Hopefully, this exhibition will help show a more complete picture” by showing Lee’s family side, the hard work he put into making his movies and other aspects of his life such as the poetry he wrote, she said.
