Former Dr. Jan Adams, the doc who operated on Kanye West’s mom, Donda West, just before she died, was arrested for his third DUI at about 2:45 am. A police report said:

California Highway Patrol officers saw Adams’ 2004 gray Jag XJ8 driving the wrong way up an off ramp on the 605 freeway just outside Benicia, California. After failing a field sobriety test, he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, driving the wrong way and driving on a suspended license.

This is Adams’ third DUI arrest since 2003. He’s currently in the Solano County Jail awaiting bail.

More bad news for Adams. A spokesperson for the California Medical Board said, “As of midnight last night, he is not allowed to practice medicine in California.” The former doc’s medical license expired, and so has his 15 minutes.

Kanye West Plans Tribute to Mom at Grammys

Donda West Autopsy Report Findings

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 21:26:04 +0000

The autopsy report on Donda West was released today, but it shows no conclusive evidence as to the cause of her death. There are several factors that make sense however. The report indicates Donda had coronary artery disease with narrowing of her heart arteries. If she had a heart attack caused by a clot, the clot would liquify after her death so an autopsy would not find a clot as evidence. If Donda died soon after the onset of a heart attack, the clot would liquify, and the heart muscle may show no more damage then appears after muscle tissue already shows when it breaks down after the onset of death. Another factor could have been the odd sickle cell like behavior of her erythrocytes, which themselves could have caused problems. Generally after a long difficult surgery, a patient can experience microscopic bleeding, and leaking. The bleeding becomes worse after platelets are exhausted so the person’s blood can no longer clot to stop the microscopic bleeds from the surgical trauma. When a person microscopically bleeds to death in cases where their body has experienced trauma too great for survival, the process is called disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Next the catecholamines become exhausted causing the blood pressure to drop, and eventually leading to death.

Although the autopsy findings did not make a definitive conclusion as to the cause of death, it can be reasonably speculated the cause of death after a complicated and prolonged surgical trauma, was from the a combination of disseminated intravascular coagulation and catecholamine exhaustion. Had Donda been admitted to a hospital after the procedure, the blood work, and other assessments of Donda would have revealed her complications and she might still be alive today.

Donda West’s hairdresser, Charlay Thomas, has released the message she got on her answering machine, which she listened to the day after Donda pass away. Click here to hear the message, or read it below:

"How are you? It’s Miss West. How’s everything going?"

It’s the last recorded words of Kanye West’s mother, Donda, before her tragic death.

"I hope you get this message soon because it’s possible I need something from you, like, immediately!" Donda’s message continued.

It’s a haunting message, obtained exclusively by INSIDE EDITION, left on an answering machine, just one day before her fateful surgery.

"I hope everything is going great for you and the girls," says West.

Donda was calling her close friend and hairdresser, Charlay Thomas to make an appointment to get her hair done before going in for cosmetic surgery.

"I just decided at the last minute that it would be nice if my hair were corn-rowed."

On the message, Donda sounds excited as she talks about the surgery, she even at one point, jokes about it.

"I am going to go have my procedure done tomorrow and I’m getting every single thing from my neck to my knees! So, anyway, call me. I’ll tell you about that…"

As the world now knows, Dr. Jan Adams performed a tummy tuck, liposuction and a breast reduction on Donda West. She died the next day. Dr. Adams has denied any wrongdoing.

Now the haunting message is the last known recording of Kanye West’s mother before her tragic death.

"Call me back. Call me so we can talk about it. Bye."

Charlay Thomas says she regrets not answering the phone that day when Donda called. Charlay also reveals, "… that Kanye did not want her (Donda) to get it done. I think that Kanye was aware of the surgery, but again like none of us, he did not know who this man is, who he was."

Dr. Jan Adams Walks Off the Set During Larry King Interview

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 02:50:42 +0000

Dr. Jan Adams appeared on Larry King Live tonight. Adams did not come out for the first segment of the show, but he did appear after the first commercial break, and very politely told Larry King that he would not speak or answer any questions. Dr. Adams said, "I had come here to talk about things in the press that aren’t accurate about me. But I have a tremendous about of love and respect for the West family and they’ve asked me not to go on." Although Larry tried to get Adams to talk, he took off his ear piece, shook hands with Larry, then walked off the set. Larry quickly went to commercial. Maybe Donda West’s family, Kanye West, and whomever else did tell Dr. Adams not to discuss the case publicly, or maybe it was Dr. Adams’ or Kanye’s attorney that told him not to talk. See the video below for the short interview.

Kanye West Does a Tribute to His Mom in Belgium – Video

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 07:51:20 +0000

Kanye West graces the GQ cover of Men of the Year, and he made the list. Kanye performed in Belgium on Sunday, and gave a heart felt tribute to his mother Donda West who recently passed away. Kanye explained the reason he doesn’t stay home and grieve over his mother is because there’s nothing to go home to. His mother was everything to him. Now that his mother is gone, maybe he’ll meet a nice girl, settle down, and raise a family of his own. He needs a good woman in his life to take the place of his mother. Click the link below to see the video of Kanye’s tribute to his mother.

Update: I totally forgot Kanye was engaged to Alexis. He proposed in August of 2006, and Alexis has been Kanye’s girlfriend since before 2002. If he’s going to marry Alexis then why did Kanye say he has “nothing to go home to.” Isn’t Alexis something to go home to?
