Taylor Swift Spreads the Wealth Around
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Country,
Taylor Swift likes being famous because she can buy other people coffee.
The “Love Story” singer insists she loves sharing her good fortune with other people, and particularly loves surprising strangers with her generosity.
“Now I’m in a better position to be a bigger tipper when I’m out at a restaurant. People don’t expect it and you can make their day,” she said. “I like going through a Starbucks drive-through and paying for the person behind, just because it’s nice.”
Despite her fame, the 19-year-old singer insists she is still careful with her money and takes advice from her father on how to invest and save.
“I think it’s crazy as a star that you get free stuff when you can afford it,” Swift explained to Britain’s Daily Star newspaper. “I don’t spend a lot of money. My dad is a financial advisor and has given me a lot of advice.”
Meanwhile, Taylor insists she has forgiven Kanye West for invading the stage during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video at the MTV Video Music Awards. “I’ve forgiven him as I don’t want to start anything. I’d never met Kanye before, and was a fan,” Taylor claims.
Kanye - who took to the stage to insist Beyonce Knowles should have won - has since apologized for his actions. “That was Taylor’s moment and I had no right in anyway to take it from her. I am truly sorry,” West stated.

Taylor Swift Leaves Interview Over Kanye Questions
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Television, Rumors,
The media may not stop talking about Kanye West’s VMA incident; however, Taylor Swift has had enough, walking out of an interview after being prodded about the event one too many times.
Interviewing on a Tampa Bay radio station, Taylor answered to three questions regarding Kanye before storming off—the last being one where the interviewer suggested that the incident was staged.
“I really would appreciate if we could talk about something else—because I’ve asked you three times now. I’m trying to be nice about it. Because it’s not something that we need to spend this whole interview talking about.”
The DJ’s last words before Taylor walked off? “It’s good for your career though… Because you are the hero here and he is the zero.”
Major kudos to Taylor—I have no idea how she maintains her composure and class in all of this.

Jay-Z Defends Kanye West’s VMAs Outburst
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Videos, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Jay-Z has defended Kanye West’s behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards.
The “Love Lockdown” star has come under fire for storming the stage when Taylor Swift was accepting her Best Female Video prize, but his mentor insists the incident has been blown out of proportion.
“Kanye is like my little brother he’s just a super-passionate person. Of course it was rude because it was her moment, but that’s what he believed. I think it’s been blown out of proportion, he didn’t kill anybody, no one got harmed,” he said. “I think he’s passionate and he needs to watch that. At the end of the day, we’ll celebrate him for his passion rather than vilify him, because the thing which causes him to make great records is what also makes him step out of line. He was inappropriate, it wasn’t fair to Taylor at all. Move on. But I don’t think he should lay low.”

Kelly Clarkson Slams Kanye
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Rants,
Kelly Clarkson has blasted Kanye West for being “a tactless a**hole.”
The “My Life Would Suck Without You” singer is furious with the “Stronger” rapper for storming on stage at the VMAs on Sunday as Taylor Swift collected the Best Female Video prize for “You Belong To Me.”
Kelly has questioned whether Kanye’s childhood is to blame for his egotistical behavior:
“What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like s**t. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty sh**ty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, a**hole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my a**hole ex that cheated on me over you… which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really (sic)??”
VIDEO: Kanye West Gets Emotional on Jay Leno
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Talk Shows, NBC, Video,
UPDATE: New video added above includes a third apology from the rapper.
He was only supposed to perform with Rihanna and Jay-Z, but Kanye West found himself sitting on Jay Leno‘s new set tonight. This appearance comes just hours after Kanye posted a new apology for singer Taylor Swift.
Although NBC has only provided teaser video so far (we’re working to find another clip), you can see the rapper become emotional when the host talks about his outburst at the Video Music Awards. (Asking what West’s deceased mother would have said about the matter was apparently the million dollar question.)

UPDATE: You can read Kanye’s newest apology here.
How is it possible that a 19-year-old girl has more maturity than a 32-year-old man?
Even though she would have been forgiven for any choice words she could use have used, Taylor Swift decided not to go there last night. When questioned by reporters about Kanye West’s rude behavior at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, the country singer simply opted to take the high road.
“I was standing onstage and I was really excited because I had just won an award and then I was really excited because Kanye West was on the stage,” Swift told E! News. “And then, um, I wasn’t so excited anymore after that.”

UPDATE: You can read Taylor Swift’s response to West’s outburst here.
Hey Kanye—screw your apology letter. This is what “class” looks like.
Having witnessed Taylor Swift’s VMAs moment interrupted by one of her “fans,” Beyonce Knowles did what was right. While accepting her award for Video of the Year, the singer allowed the 19-year-old to pick up where she left off.
“I remember being 17 years old, up for my first MTV Award with Destiny’s Child, and it was one of the most exciting moments in my life. So I’d like Taylor to come out and have her moment,” Knowles said.
Cue another standing ovation…for both stars.

UPDATE: You can read Kanye’s newest apology here.
UPDATE: You can read Taylor Swift’s response to his outburst here.
Etiquette Rule #213: “If you’re going to write an apology letter…DON’T USE ALL FREAKIN’ CAPS!!!”
Shortly after disrespecting country singer Taylor Swift (and reportedly being kicked out of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards), Kanye West hit his personal blog.
Since we’re currently unable to access the website (has the half-ass “apology” already disintegrated?), you’ll just have to read his
words here.
What do you think about the rapper’s post? Do you think Taylor should even give him the time of day?
