Funny, but he is on Leno tonight?
Anybody else find that interesting?
You've got it Ellie. There is nothing more to be said on this issue.
No...he was booked by Leno after he did this incident - so it wasn't planned that he'd be on Leno.
Leno giving him time to clean up was sick. Leno's show is a lame rehash of his old stuff and his embrace of this lunatic ends any interest I will have in his show
Leeni - Yes, he was scheduled to appear on Leno before he made a fool of himself on VMA.
Does Kanye West deserve to get shredded on the 'Net for dissing Taylor Swift at the VMAs?
Yes, he was beyond Rude, Crude and Obnoxious
He's been dissed pretty good. I think after 72 hours of dissing, it's now time to let it rest.
Since his Mom died he has turned into more of a self loving, self destructing kind of individual. If he was the only one affected it would not matter. He hurts, humiliates and interupts the lives of the many people he touches. Too bad.
Rude and self-absorbed. Shame... Shame ... Shame. If I was his momma, I'd whip his butt. His lack of respect for this young woman was deplorable and unforgivable.
His Mom died after some kind of botched surgery. Plastic, I think, or lipo. about a year ago. He is a nut case now.
Kanye is ridiculous!! He is a spoiled rich kid from the suburbs who never had to work for anything....I would've like to have seen him disrespect a man like that...him coming on stage during a 50 cent acceptance speech would be hilarious!!! Instead he chose to pick on a 19-year old girl!!!
I wonder if he would try that on oh, I don't know....50 Cents?? Don't think so. He has to pick on poor little girls to make himself look bigger than life. What a waste of space.
From what I understand, this is not the first time West has made a fool of himself by grabbing a mike and taking over someone elses stage. He thinks he is beyond cool and does not answer to the same rules as everyone else. I will never again concider West as anything but an angry, spoiled black man who indicates his racism with perfection.
he's a dumbass also, how rude can one person be, especially to taylor swift, just a young teenager who is doing great in her career., you took her cheers away from her for her award., thanks to beyonce and kelly clarkson who did a good deed for taylor swift. great job to beyonce and kelly!! love you taylor and kanye, grow up!!
WHO CARES? He is a person with no manners or etiquette. Disregard him.
The saddest thing about this is that we give it so much attention. There are much more important things to worry about than a speech by a 19 year old country singer after she accepts her award on a channel that barely promotes music anymore. She was dissed by someone that was created by the public (because you buy it all). A whining little punk that needs the spotlight shown on him like a crack addict needs a rock. How exactly does this affect anybody's life?
Swift will get over it. She isn't losing her home or money over this and will probably benefit more in the end with all the publicity she is going to get. Everyone writing here will get over it in another week because some other celebrity will do something moronic to capture everyone's attention. Worst of all is expending all this energy to probably find out that this was staged. Swifts tears and all.
Let's not forget we are talking about pop culture fantasy here. The acting is impeccable especially when they mention how much they love their fans when in reality this is all about the money that you bust your asses to earn, or beg from your parents, so you can give it to someone that sings a song or appears in a movie or plays a kids game inside a giant stadium. I don't begrudge a person for making a living but I do have a problem with teachers and policemen and firefighters and nurses and doctors.....just scraping by making a living doing things that help people while some punk makes millions because he can sing (not that well) and market the hell out of himself.
Unemployment is at an all time high. People are losing their homes at a record pace. Families have been falling apart for the last few decades. The rich are still rich and the poor are moving into deplorable realms. There are kids starving all over the world. We still have soldiers scattered around the globe fighting wars in order for us to have the freedom to write about mindless crap like this.
The US is in very serious trouble and the futures of most of the young people that are writing here is in peril and yet our focus is on pop culture. The entertainment industry owns each and every one of you. What points in your life do you not have entertainment stimuli? While sleeping and maybe in the bathroom.
For every waking moment there is someone whispering in your ear to watch this, listen to that, buy the movie, buy the game, download the song, get the action figure, purchase the jersey, post all your personal information online, summarize your life in 140 characters or less, haiku, eat this, drink that......................WHAT DID KANYE JUST DO?
We need to get off the planet of fantasy we have been living on and get back to reality. Is it really hanging out with your friends when all of you are texting someone else or listening to your iPods or talking on your cell phones? Leave the TV off, leave the phones at home, don't take the iPod and maybe actually get to know someone face to face. Try to find your own imagination. That's when you make stuff up in your own head instead of having it uploaded by everyone else.
I'm only 44 and I am into a lot, not all, of what I mentioned above but, since the recession, I have barely spent a dime on entertainment and won't go for free when offered because when you are struggling to eat it's hard to justify free tickets to an Indians game because it is still just too damn expensive to go.
What did Kanye do again??????
You point is very, very true in a lot of ways.
I think why people pay as much attention as they do to things like this is because they want that form of fantasy that rich and famous people mess up too in their lives. For two seconds out of their lives, these people just want that little bit of escape from the thought of how messed up their lives are by this recession or other things in their lives.
In the end, it's up to a person's discretion whether or not they pay attention to news like this.
I think there is a deeper issue here. Think about how many grown men in the public eye have recently been caught disrespecting and bullying young women: Jamie Foxx on Miley Cyrus, David Letterman on the younger Palin girl, and now Kanye West on Taylor Swift. The reason there are so many famous examples of this phenomenon in such a short period of time is because it's not really a phenomenon at all. It's a general trend. It's a sickness. For every famous man who forgets himself and lets out the dirty little secret on camera, there are ten thousand regular guys quietly rooting for them. "Put the b___hes in their place early. It'll be easier to keep them there." This is definitely not a non-issue. It says a lot about our culture.
For every famous man who forgets himself and lets out the dirty little secret on camera, there are ten thousand regular guys quietly rooting for them.
Really? How do you know that this is the case? How do you know what regular guys quietly root for? Are you telepathic? I certainly don't root for idiots like Kanye, but then again maybe I didn't get my secret decoder ring in the mail from the Society of Quiet Misogynists.
To me, your comment is as much an opportunistic attempt to male-bash as Kanye's out of turn outburst was a successful attempt to draw attention to himself and away from Taylor Swift's acceptance speech.
Y'know, some people are just idiots, regardless of gender (I'm talking about Kanye). So, let's get back to our regularly scheduled programming of shredding West and his inane behavior.
Browns Backer you are a lone voice crying in the wilderness. Everything you say is the complete and utter truth but 99% of the sheeple will never believe a word of what you say. What`s the solution? Let`s all sing a song!
`Rap is crap!` Put you han`s in de air!!!
Yo! Evvybody: `Rap is crap!!`
YO! I wants to HEAR yo! `RAP IS CRAP!!!`
C`mon! Hunh c`mon! Yeah! Hunh, hunh YEAH!!!
I can't wait for the CMA's , Reba will deffinately refer to this as she did with the foot in mouth comment of the Chixie Dicks! There is a time and a place for certain comments and behavior, but never at the expense of someone elses thunder. It is a moment that can never be replicated or made up for. I know Beyonce was full of class and showed her upbringing with how she gave up her time for Taylor, however, Taylors moment will never be without this blemish for her the rest of her life. Way to go Kanye West for once again leaving your mark where it was not wanted. Your mother I am certain would not be proud.
Kanye wont travel without a large security group I am sure. I am still calling for a cage match with him and Pink. He is scim and his mom would be mortified. Word now is that he was backstage slugging down scotch for hours. I guess getting drunk gives you the courage to assault a 19 year old girl....
I wish he had taken taht shot at Pink. She would have opened the full can of whoopass on him. I loved her interview and will be a fan of her stuff for life. Kanye needs to watch himself.....
Neither West or Swift are my preferred music of choice. Still, one should be considerate and professional to each other on and off stage. Especially at a Nationionalized Music Awards Ceremony. It just shows West has no class or respect for his or Swift's career. What kind of pompus egomaniac would be so clueless and selfish as to steal Tyler's thunder at the kick start of her way up her musical success ladder. The man is obviously an inconsiderate jerk and needs to grow up. He should not be allowed to appear or speak at any publc event until he can control his verbal bowel movements. Tyler; I am not familiar with your music, but one human to another , you have my empathy.
