First Kelly Clarkson, now President Obama is slamming Kanye West for his actions at the MTV Video Music Awards last Sunday.
When asked about whether or not he was upset about the event, Obama commented, “I thought that was really inappropriate. You know it was like she’s getting an award. Why are you butting in? The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person. She’s getting her award. What he’s doing up there? He’s a jackass!”

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)??”

Curiosity about Jay Leno‘s new program was already high before this week—but then the VMAs happened, and the Peacock network lucked out.
The debut of NBC’s new 10:00 show was watched by a whopping 17.7 million viewers. That’s nearly double the audience that turned in for Leno’s “goodbye.” (That May finale drew in 11.9 million). The figure bests any number from an NBC series produced last season, including the premiere of Conan O’Brien’s show (9.2 million) in June.

Clearly unaffected by boyfriend Kanye West’s outburst at the VMAs, Amber Rose made her runway debut for Celestino at New York Fashion Week.
Rose walked the finale look, shuffling down the runway in a strapless wedding dress with an extra-long train. To her credit, she made it down and back without falling, although it was most likely due to her careful steps in the sky-high stilettos.
Despite fans like Russell Simons and Jojo showing up for support, Rose reportedly bolted after the show (most likely to avoid questions about Kanye).

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.)

If you can’t do something right—you’re more than welcome to try, try again. That doesn’t necessarily mean anyone will care.
Realizing he failed with his first attempt, Kanye West has written a new apology to Taylor Swift. This latest note has now replaced the one that was taken off his website.
He was even nice enough to do away with the Caps Lock this time.

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.”

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.

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?

UPDATE: You can read Kanye West’s “apology” here.
Let’s just make this clear—this stunt was not orchestrated like Bruno’s moment with Eminem.
During tonight’s MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye West stunned the audience—and an already stunned Taylor Swift—with a declaration that will be talked about for quite some time. While accepting an award for Best Female Video, the country singer was interrupted by the rapper who was upset about Beyonce’s loss in the category.
Although Kanye is known for acting like a child when he is not presented an award, he felt it was necessary to defend Ms. Knowles’ honor during Taylor’s moment on stage. (Based on the shocked expression on Beyonce’s face, she clearly didn’t want his help.) Unfortunately, that left the beautiful 19-year-old standing there with nothing left to say.
