Ah yes, it’s always so much fun to dish about the VMA’s isn’t it? Just this time last year we were talking about Britney’s big comeback and how she swept away just about everything worth mentioning at the VMA’s. This year, the story that everyone is talking about is NOT the story on how Beyonce swept it all under her arm this year with almost the same awards that Britney did last year. And we aren’t talking about the moving Michael Jackson tribute as put forth by Madonna and Janet Jackson. If you saw those portions of the show, then you know how great the show was. But if you didn’t, chances are that the biggest thing you know about this years VMA’s is the Kanye West display of rudeness which is likely to have an effect on his career. Oh no, we aren’t talking about a Chris Brown situation, but one that is enough to talk about all the same. The show began with the aforementioned Michael Jackson tribute, and was moving, poignant, and ever so appropriate. It didn’t take long, though, for the mood to change from bittersweet to just plain bitter. West — who has flipped out after losing at the VMAs, the Grammys, the American Music Awards and more, kept his reputation alive by complaining once again that the wrong person had been awarded a trophy. But this time, his complaining was on behalf of Beyonce. Beyonce, nominated for best female video for “Single Ladies” was bested by country and pop sensation Taylor Swift. The 19-year-old was giddy when she won for her clip “You Belong to Me,” saying:

“I always wondered what it would be like to maybe win one of these someday, but never actually thought it would happen.”

Unfortunately she didn’t quite get to finish this thought, as Kanye ruined her moment when he jumped on stage, and protested. “Taylor, I’m really happy for you, and I’m gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,” he said, as a shocked Beyonce looked on and the crowd began to boo West. Of course, security took good care of him and as always, the show went on, but one can’t help but feel a little bad for pretty Taylor. She was a little disappointed and didn’t quite get to finish her first every VMA award acceptance speech, but she was applauded all the same. Her thoughts on the matter?

“I was standing on stage and I was really excited because I’d just won the award and then I was really excited because Kanye West was on stage. And then I wasn’t excited anymore after that.”

Yeah, that’s about the nicest way you can say that when someone so rudely steals a moment in your life that you have spent years working towards. But top winner Beyonce who swept away the most awards proved why she really is a top winner after all and came to Taylor’s rescue. While she was accepting the Moonman for video of the year, Beyonce invited Swift onto the stage so she could finish her speech.

“This is amazing. 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 of my life, so I would like for Taylor to come out and have her moment.”

A smiling Swift came out and said, “Maybe we can try this again.” She continued, thanking “all my fans on Twitter and MySpace and everyone who came out to my shows this summer.” The two winners, both in bright red dresses, hugged and left the stage together. Taylor spoke well for herself, and for America, and acknowledged the elegance that Beyonce exudes.

“It was so wonderful and gracious of her. She’s always been a great person and I thought I couldn’t love Beyoncé more and tonight happened and it was just wonderful.”

You just gotta shake your head at some people. Though this wasn’t a woman beating incident, this is definitely one that has lost some respect for Kanye, and though he has apologized since, we can’t help but notice nobody is talking about the apology, are they? Way to go Taylor and Beyonce and all the other winners from last night’s show.

Kanye West is seen here on Wednesday after attending the Marc Jacobs showing for New York Fashion Week. And he was spotted here just hours before he would make worldwide headlines after an incident at LAX Airport. Following the fashion show Kanye hopped on the red-eye to jet out to Los Angeles and created quite the scene at Los Angeles International Airport. Kanye was met at the airport by the usual throng of paparazzi and was approached by a reporter for TMZ.com. Kanye must have had a really bad flight * or something* because he completely lost control and grabbed the photographers camera, and smashed it to the ground in a bozillion pieces. Another photographer for TMZ was then approached by Kanye’s bodyguard who pretty much mirrored Kanye’s actions. Both the rapper and his bodyguard were arrested on charges of vandalism and taken to downtown for a chat with the LAPD. The camera that was broken was said to be worth more than $10 thousand dollars, and charges involved not only vandalism, but battery as well. Within a few hours, Kanye was released after posting bail of $21 thousand, and is due to appear in court for the charges on October 2nd. Tsk tsk tsk…what are they serving on those flights now, testosterone cocktails?

Well it seems the man with a smooth voice is carrying his talents over to the field of writing and is about to release his first book. Fans of Kanye West will be thrilled to hear that his insight, humor, and wit are being put into a book that is being described as an ‘entertaining volume of Kanye-isms’. The book is titled “Thank You and You’re Welcome” and basically chronicles a series of stories and insight that got him where he is today and will be running for around $10 bucks. This is not one of those celebs I would spend money on for a tell-all, but for those that are fans and follow his blog, they may find this very interesting.

Here is a shot of Kanye West and Pamela Anderson at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas over the weekend. Kanye has recently expressed some irritation to the effect of Britney Spears performing at the MTV VMA awards last night, noting that she hasn’t had a hit in years. Well duh, thanks for the news flash Kanye. Haven’t heard anything rumor or otherwise about these two so it is possible this is just fun canoodling for the camera. Hard to tell this is even Pamela given that the girl in this shot is actually dressed almost decently. It’s sad when people can’t recognize you with your clothes on.
