KANYE REPLACED BY WILL.I.AM AT V.S. GIG: Plus, mother's funeral scheduled for Tuesday in Oklahoma; location of Dr. West's surgery revealed.
Kanye West pulled out of his scheduled performance at last night's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in the wake of his mother's death.
Will.i.am replaced the grieving rapper on the bill, which also featured a reunion performance from the Spice Girls and took place at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles and will air Dec. 4 on CBS.
The New York Daily News quotes a friend of the family who described West as devastated and seemingly "in denial" about the Saturday passing of his mother, Dr. Donda West, following cosmetic surgery. The source said Kanye didn't think his mother needed any physical improvement.
"I don't think Kanye was aware Donda was getting the surgery, or certainly the extent of it," the family friend told the Daily News. "He loved and supported her just the way she was. He thought she was beautiful."
The source also said a funeral for Dr. West has been scheduled for Tuesday in Oklahoma City.
Additionally, the Los Angeles County coroner has reportedly revealed the location where Dr. Jan Adams performed surgery on Dr. West. According to the Daily News, the procedures took place at Brentwood Surgery Center, described in the paper as "a low-rent storefront clinic perched above a FedEx Kinko's store in a West Los Angeles strip mall."
Meanwhile, still more allegations are surfacing against Adams, who said Monday that he performed a tummy tuck and breast reduction on Dr. West one day before she stopped breathing on Saturday, but denies doing anything wrong to cause her death.
Court documents were discovered showing that Adams' estranged wife filed for a domestic violence restraining order against him a year ago following a situation on Thanksgiving.
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, reports E! Online.
In documents, Field said Adams went off on her for taking 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.'"
Field said that he came at her with a closed fist, but stopped short of making contact.
"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 entered the room and approached his father; Adams then threw Field against the bed and she fell onto the floor.
In February, Adams also filed papers pertaining to the dissolution of their marriage. Field is 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."
In more bad news for Dr. Adams, the Discovery Health Network has opted to remove from its lineup "Plastic Surgery: Before and After," the show Adams hosted for five years before leaving in June. Four episodes scheduled to air this week have been pulled from the schedule.
