Kanye Pulls a Swift One

Shocker at the VMA's on Sunday, right?

Kanye west stole the mic and the show when he interrupted sweet little Swift's first ever VMA acceptance speech, and proclaimed that Beyoncé's Single Ladies video deserved to win.

A little later in the show, Beyoncé stepped up with a classy move after winning video of the year, and let Taylor return to the stage to finish her acceptance speech and "have her moment."


Beyoncé: 1

Kanye: -50


Not surprisingly, it didn't take long for the rumors to fly... Kanye appeared on the premiere of Jay Leno's new primetime show the very next day, and that got folks wondering if it was all just a stunt to draw audiences to Leno.
I don't think it was... I think Kanye's ego is just that gregarious... MTV is owned by Viacom, which is owned by CBS... Jay Leno is on NBC... So I ask: why in the world would they pull a stunt to plug a show on a competing network?

Nah, Kanye is just Kanye... But of course Leno had to bring up the elephant in the room!



Okay... maybe not his best apology... but when Jay asked Kanye what he thinks his departed mother would say, you can tell he was a little ashamed.

Leno shamed Kanye!?... the chin is mightier than the hair! (BTW, whattup with the doo Kanye?... I kinda like it...)

Today, Taylor Swift was on The View and told the ladies (which included guest co-host Kate Gosselin) that she hasn't heard from Kanye at all! No apology. Nothin.... well that lasted about 45 minutes.

Before the show even finished, Kanye called the producers of the show, asked to speak to Taylor, and finally told her that he's sorry...





The Full House writers couldn't have plotted it out better themselves.

So what did we learn from all of this? Kanye's a jerk? Taylor Swift is the golden child of pop music? Beyoncé really isn't a diva afterall?

Nope... we learned this...


Something CAN be done about Kate Gosselin's porcupine reverse-mullet weave!!!!
There... don't we all feel better now?
