POPULAR beat poet Kanye West is moaning that hackers have gotten into his Gmail, MySpace and Twitter accounts and spread false stories that he would be open to launching a new career as a bisexual porn star.
West announced on his website that somebody's hacked into his personal Gmail account and has been emailing people from it. He found 12 unauthorised Skype accounts in his name.

I guess he should keep his passwords lockdown?
At least the little barstewards have a sense of homour.
Just think of the damage that could be done by doing this to people in power. This time they started a two-person war. Next time I hope they don't aim higher.
(gist is, it's probably better for the hackers to be preocuppied taking the michael out of already-ridiculous 'celebrities' rather than real people)
Nobody hacked his twitter account. The account was never his to begin with. Just more crappy journalism..
