Kanye’s probably gonna have to give some paparazzo “like, $250,000”

Sigh, paparazzi: this is what happens when you don’t listen. Just last week, rapper Kanye West kindly informed all the pesky paparazzi in the world to “Don’t talk to me, don’t talk to anyone I know, and tell everybody to never talk to ANYONE THAT ANYONE KNOWS, DON’T TALK TO THEMSELVES! Don’t talk ever again.” That seems pretty clear.

Unfortunately, paparazzi can’t hear properly over all their clicking shutters, and so, overnight at LAX Airport, Kanye tried to show them… with his bare hands. “You’re trying to get me in trouble, so I’ll have to pay you, like, $250,000,” Kanye self-awarely told a snappy paparazzi, before lunging at him and awkwardly trying to take his camera. Now the paparazzo is pressing charges, and the LAPD is investigating Kanye for felony attempted robbery.

The video is great. I’m sure some good lawyer could convince a judge that Kanye was just trying to cuddle the photographer.

There’s way too much stuff happening at Comic-Con

Comic-Con, the massive annual nerd gathering, is currently in full effect in San Diego, with movie studios, TV networks and Hollywood’s biggest stars giving excitable fans endless sneak peeks at all their most-anticipated upcoming projects. For example…

The Veronica Mars Kickstarter movie has a real trailer! It’s ALL ABOUT THE FANS! Veronica Mars is now “a big-shot NEW York lawyer”? Buffy hellmouth reference at 4:04!

Here’s a video of Tom Hiddleston as Loki from Thor: The Dark World freaking out nerds and quoting a hit Destiny’s Child song:

Here’s an awesome Game Of Thrones ‘In Memoriam’ video set to the touching strains of Boyz II Men’s ‘It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday’:

And here’s a really shaky video of geeks losing their shit at an ugly logo after Man Of Steel director Zack Snyder revealed that Superman will be joined by Batman in Man Of Steel 2. Together, they will form THE SUPERBAT! (no, not really). Head to the 1:40 mark to burst your eardrums:

We’ll keep bringing you these incredibly nerdy announcements as they happen.
