Wyclef Jean's New Year party gets out of control

Wyclef Jean's New Year's Eve party at his home reportedly grew into a mini-festival after he joked on MTV that fans should come over, prompting a police call.

Oh dear, when Wyclef Jean joked that everyone should come over to a New Year's Eve party at his place during an interview with MTV, he probably should have stressed he was joking. Though it's not clear if it was Jean's people or his neighbours that called police after hundreds of fans showed up turning the Hogmanay bash at the former Fugee's house into something of a mini-festival. While Jean presumably wasn't actually making an open invitation to fans, police weren't called until 3am, and Jean himself was reportedly serving up Haitian food to his impromptu guests when officers arrived.

One partygoer told reporters: "There were hundreds and hundreds of cars parked all over. They had tents set up outside, but people were wandering around in his house, in the movie theatre, in the kitchen".
