Best Behavior for Kanye West

Since Kanye West's incident with Taylor Swift he has been noticeably more shy and humble in past weeks.

Publications have reported West blames alcohol for his actions. The rapper was filmed on the red carpet drinking Hennessey.

Rumor also has it that when West finishes his "Fame Kills" tour with Lady Gaga in January he plans on heading to rehab.

Close friends of West say the rumors are untrue. Kanye hasn't made any statements on his blog nor were there comments made by his representatives.

On Saturday night in L.A during the Common and Friends benefit, West was backstage pacing inside the Hollywood Palladium.

He thanked fellow artists such as, Mos Def and Queen Latifah for allowing him to take part in the event.

This followed his Friday night at a pick-up game at Chelsea Piers in N.Y.C where a player noted the rapper wasn't his brash normal self saying "Kanye managed to act reserved, quiet and humble for once."
