Kanye West: Felony Suspect in LAX Photographer Smackdown

Law enforcement sources believe 'Ye may have committed attempted ROBBERY as well as assault at LAX, where he freaking lost it on a paparazzo.

Paramedics arrived on the scene and the victim, who was knocked to the ground, was taken to a hospital following the attack, after which Kanye fled.

The Robbery Homicide Unit and LAPD are investigating.

The victim wants to press charges against Kanye West, TMZ reports, and has already been interviewed by the police regarding the incident.

They determined he did indeed suffer injuries during the attack, but police will reportedly refer the case to the D.A. as a felony attempted robbery.

Standard operating procedure is to go after a suspect on the most serious charge he may have committed, even if he also committed another (battery).

Kanye was leaving the terminal with his bodyguard when about 4-5 paparazzi members approached and began to take photos, which he despises.

One of them was rather aggressive with questions, something he's been particularly sensitive to since ever since he started dating Kim Kardashian.

When the dude refused to heed the rapper's warning to back off and not talk (ever), Kanye exploded in epic fashion, even by Kanye standards.

Whatever you think of his actions, clearly, this is an ongoing issue for West. See some of Kanye's previous violent run-ins with cameramen below:

'House of Cards' joins list of Emmy nominees

House of Cards , the political thriller starring Kevin Spacey and streamed on Netflix, joined last year's incumbents Breaking Bad, Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, Homeland and Mad Men as Emmy nominees for best drama series.

Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, Girls, Louie, Veep and the departed 30 Rock were named best-comedy contenders.

BIANCO: Fresh breeze blows through Emmys

This marks the first time that shows not aired on traditional broadcast or cable networks were nominated in the top Emmy categories, something of a watershed moment for the awards, which in a 2008 rule change made shows distributed over the Internet eligible for TV's top honors. Arrested Development's Jason Bateman, also on Netflix, and Cards' Spacey and Robin Wright won nominations as lead actors.

"We are thrilled beyond belief," says Netflix's Ted Sarandos, who was behind its original-series push and considers the Emmy nods "a leveling moment. Change comes very slow, but Emmy voters recognized that great television is great television, and they didn't pay attention to how it got there."

Netflix, which has veered from a DVD-by-mail service to a streaming giant with 29 million U.S. subscribers, has moved heavily into original series this year, with budgets matching those for traditional networks, and far exceeding those for most other web content.

Spacey, who plays conniving congressman Francis Underwood, joined Jeff Daniels, the embattled anchor in HBO's The Newsroom, along with repeat nominees Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Jon Hamm (Mad Men) and Damian Lewis (Homeland). Wright will face off against Homeland's Claire Danes,Nashville's Connie Britton, Downton's Michelle Dockery, Bates Motel's Vera Farmiga,Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss and Scandal's Kerry Washington.

In the comedy field, Bateman (whose Emmy-winning show was canceled by Fox in 2006 but resurrected online in May), joined familar faces Alec Baldwin (30 Rock), Louis C.K. (Louie), Don Cheadle (House of Lies), Matt LeBlanc (Episodes) and Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory). Among actresses, Laura Dern, the star of HBO's canceled series Enlightened, joined Girls' Lena Dunham, Nurse Jackie's Edie Falco,30 Rock's Tina Fey, Veep's Julia Louis-Dreyfus — last year's winner — and Parks and Recreation's Amy Poehler. Last year's nominees Zooey Deschanel (New Girl)and Melissa McCarthy (Mike & Molly) didn't make the cut. Neither did last year's winners Jon Cryer (lead actor for Two and a Half Men) and supporting actor Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family).

FX miniseries American Horror Story: Asylum, entered in the movies and miniseries category, won the most nominations, with 17 in all, followed closely by Game of Thrones, with 16. Other movie and miniseries nominees were HBO's Behind the Candelabra and Phil Spector, History's The Bible, Sundance Channel's Top of the Lake (for which Moss was also nominated) and USA's Political Animals. But BBC America's buzzy Orphan Black and its star, Tatiana Maslany, were left out.

As usual, there were plenty of repeat nominees in a medium that depends on long-running hits. But Daniels, Farmiga and Washington were first-timers. And AMC's Mad Men, which has dominated the writing honors in recent years, won no nominations in that category for a season that some critics saw as underwhelming.

HBO again led the nominees tally with 108, the pay channel's most since 2004, followed by CBS and NBC, tied with 53 apiece.

Homeland and Modern Family were the top drama and comedy winners, respectively, in 2012.

CORY MONTEITH'S DEATH 'GLEE' WILL GO ON

"Glee" is going full steam ahead without Cory Monteith -- and TMZ has learned, the show's writers have called an emergency meeting today to figure out how to work him out of the story.

Sources close to production tell us, “Glee is definitely not canceled. If you look at the dollars and cents of the show and that it was very much an ensemble with new kids being added last year when some graduated. It’s clear that the show wasn’t about one character."

Our source says producers are taking their cue from shows like "8 Simple Rules" and  "The West Wing," which have also suffered real-life deaths ... the lesson being: one character doesn't make or break a show.

Our source adds, "The producers and writers are taking time to meet and figure out how to best address this situation in the context of Glee. No decision has been reached about a script yet, as it’s still early."

CORY MONTEITH 'Glee' Tried to Save Actor from Heroin Addiction

The cast of "Glee" -- along with several producers -- knew Cory Monteith was battling a heroin addiction earlier this year and were the catalyst in his decision to go back to rehab, TMZ has learned. 

Sources connected to the production tell us ... it was no secret Monteith was off his game back in March -- and it became clear he was relapsing, specifically with heroin. 

We're told the cast and the producers became very concerned ... and knew they had to address the issue with Cory. 

Sources say ... the group sat down with Cory and had an "open conversation" with the actor -- stressing how much they cared about him and wanted him to get help. 

One source tells us Cory was very receptive -- "It wasn't met with resistance ... He was always so grateful and aware of how fortunate he was."

"The decision was to best help our friend. The needs of the show fell second to his well-being."

Cory voluntarily checked into rehab at the end of March for a 30 day stint ... but despite his efforts, he couldn't defeat his demons, and last week, he died from a lethal mixture of heroin and alcohol.
