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 ‘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.)

MTV VIDEO: Beyonce Shares VMAs Spotlight with Taylor Swift

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, MTV, Gossip, Video


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.

Kanye West apology

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 insincere words here.

What do you think about the rapper’s post? Do you think Taylor should even give him the time of day?

MTV VIDEO: Kanye West Disrespects Taylor Swift at VMAs

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, MTV, News, Video


UPDATE: You can read Taylor Swift’s response here.
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 —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.

Britney Spears and Russell Brand in New VMA Plug

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, Cable, MTV, Commercials, Video

At this time last year, Britney Spears was still trying to learn Russell Brand’s name. This time around, she can’t stop repeating it.

In this commercial for next month’s VMAs, the pop princess not-so-secretly wonders if she’ll score a personal invite from the two-time host. “Should I have played it up more when he was flirting with me last year? I have to admit there is something sexy about his dangerous ways,” she asks.

Meanwhile, the comedian worries he may have offended her during their last series of spots. “Some of those things I said could have been construed as offensive. I hope she don’t think ill of me.”

The 2009 Video Music Awards air live on September 13.

Britney Spears in the Spotlight

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Reality, Specials, MTV, Gossip

was in court recently to discuss plans for her future, which could include a tour. A spokesman told reporters “there was a discussion of Ms. Spears’ future immediate business plans. Particularly touring in support of her album.”

Her latest album, Circus, debuts on the anniversary of her birth, December 2 (Spears will be 27). It can only be assumed the tour will follow on the heels of this event.

Spears will soon appear in a 90-minute MTV special schedule to air on November 30 (and no doubt, endlessly re-run afterward). The documentary, filmed three months ago, is titled Britney Spears: For the Record. She’ll discuss her marriage and subsequent divorce from as well as her current comeback.

Brit also talks candidly about her own feelings and fears. In one scene, as she heads toward the VMAs (where she eventually took home three awards), Spears admits worrying that MTV will show footage of her the year before. “I’m sad,” she confesses at one point.

But with a new tour in the works, an album that’s sure to be a hit and this new MTV deal, Brit’s not in a bad place. We’ve seen much, much worse.

Christina Aguilera’s Goth Look Failed to Mask Bad Performance

Christina Aguilera performing her latest hit at the 2008 VMA

To begin, I will be outright honest and admit that I tuned into MTV’s 2008 Video Music Awards last night in hopes of seeing Britney Spears make a [second] comeback performance, despite the comments from her people saying that she definitely would not appear. So I held out until the end of the show, surprisingly allowing myself to concede to an awards show I was clearly out of touch with (the only video I had seen prior to the night was “Piece of Me”).

With that being said, I was still very much excited by all of the performances throughout the night, save Christina Aguilera‘s sad excuse for one.
