Kanye West

Citing personal circumstances, hip-hop star Kanye West has canceled his scheduled performance at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Thursday. Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas will fill in for West; the Spice Girls are also among the annual flesh fest's notable headliners. An autopsy was performed Tuesday on Donda West, but the Los Angeles medical examiner's office said that it couldn't yet pintpoint whether complications resulting from recent plastic surgery had caused the 58-year-old former professor and philanthropist's death. Coroner's officials said that a full report, including toxicology tests, will not be ready for at least four to six weeks. Meanwhile, further unflattering allegations continue to surface against Dr. Jan Adams, the plastic surgeon who performed the procedures—a breast reduction and a tummy tuck—on Friday after at least one other Beverly Hills doc refused to do so because of a preexisting condition. In addition to records that show a handful of malpractice lawsuits, two alcohol-related driving arrests and a recommendation from the state medical board to revoke his license, court documents show that Adams' estranged wife filed for a domestic violence restraining order against the doctor a year ago following an alleged outburst on Thanksgiving. (View the request and court order.) Adams' now-ex-wife, Susan Field, moved to keep Adams at least 100 yards away from her and their three children on Nov. 28, 2006, as well as prevent him from calling, emailing or otherwise contacting them. In a declaration accompanying her filing, Field stated that Adams became enraged after she took a phone call during the family's Thanksgiving dinner on Nov. 23. "He wanted to speak to whomever was calling me," she stated. "My friend did not want to talk to him, which angered him even more. I left the balcony [where they were fighting] and went upstairs into one of the bedrooms to stop the arguing…"[Adams] began screaming and yelling profanities at me, calling me every name in the book. He started to take off his cufflinks. I was very afraid. He continued to yell and scream at me, saying 'I'm going to rip your face off,' 'I'm going to f---ing kill you,' 'I'm going to beat you,' 'You need to be beaten,' 'when I get you home, I'm going to beat you.'"He then proceeded to swing his closed fist at her, Field alleged, but stopped short of hitting her. "He then began to swing his arms, with his hands open, in an attempt to slap/hit my body," she wrote. Then, their son Tyler walked into the room and approached his dad; Adams then threw Field against the bed and she fell onto the floor. But there are two sides to every story. In documents filed in February pertaining to the dissolution of their marriage, Field is also ordered to adhere to a personal conduct restraining order that doesn't expire until 2009, under which both she and Adams are ordered to refrain from "molesting, striking, stalking, threatening, sexually assaulting, battering, harassing, or telephoning the other party at work, at home, or on any cellular phone." (View the ruling.) Adams expressed his condolences for West's loss in a statement released Tuesday, but the increasingly negative attention he's received over the course of just a few days has ensured that there's at least one spotlight he won't be enjoying for awhile. The Discovery Health Network has announced that, at least for the time being, it will stop televising Plastic Surgery: Before and After, which Adams hosted for five years before signing off in June. Four episodes scheduled to air this week have been pulled from the schedule. The surgeon confirmed the nature of Donda West's procedure but has refused to comment further on the matter. "As a medical director practicing in this field, I hold sacred the bond of confidentiality that exists between a patient and doctor," Adams said Tuesday. "Out of respect for the West family and the absence of verifiable information any comment without having first discussing that information with the family would be unprofessional."
