In the tune above called “Monologue Song (La La La),” Swift addresses both Joe Jonas and Kanye West. She also fits in a shout out and air kiss for .

Speaking about werewolves, Taylor was later featured in a digital short dedicated to the Twilight series. You can watch “Firelight” after the jump.

Taylor Swift

Too bad Kanye West doesn’t have a tour to distract him right now.

It’s just been announced that the rapper’s last victim, country star , will be pulling double duty on Saturday Night Live next month. The gig - which had been planned since this summer - will come less than a year after the “Fifteen” singer served as the musical guest. (Her small cameo in a Broadway-themed skit can be seen after the jump.)

So what kind of sketches can we expect the 19-year-old to participate in? “I’ve been thinking about skit ideas for a long time,” Swift told the Associated Press. “There are definitely some hilarious things that have happened to me over the past couple of months that I think will be pretty substantial skits.”

Kanye West on Jay Leno

Curiosity about ‘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.

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.)

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 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

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.

American Idol 8: Wild Card Round

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip


The Wild Card round of opened with three stools and eight singers who all hoped to fill them. With eight singers, four judges and one host - not to mention a performance round and an elimination round in a single episode - Idol had to move things along pretty quickly. There was little time for recap or reintroduction. Each contestant had a sort of hurried interview that played for a few moments while they rushed to the stage. It was actually sort of poorly done, not to put too fine a point on it.

At any rate, Idol viewers were given a rare treat - instant gratification. Usually, results have to wait an entire day…but not on this Wild night.
