Kanye West sh*ts on Taylor Swifts big moment

Alternate title to this post: Kanye West shows Joe Wilson how it’s DONE. UPDATE: Someone pounced on that gag already. geez, that was quick.

Alternate title #2: Kanye West doesn’t care about white people…

I’d love to think Kanye West is not an insensitive narcissistic asshole. but… dude

Tonight’s VMA awards were messy. The transitions were sloppy. The performances were so-so. And the emotional outbursts were, well, tacky. Our evidence: Kanye West upstaging Taylor Swift’s big win. In a bit of a surprise, singer Taylor Swift won the Best Female Video for her track “You Belong With Me.” Sure, many of us aren’t familiar with this 19-year old country girl’s entertainment outputs, but that’s really no excuse for Mr. West, a man so consumed by his own fame that he has no respect for fellow travelers in the starosphere, to take the mic and declare Beyonce and her silly “All The Single Ladies” video the real winner. “Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,” he declared, although that’s wrong on more than one level.

Honestly, Kayne, you look like an asshole. More so than usual. This poor girl had a moment to shine and, as is apparent by her reaction, you stole that and ruined what should have been a proud moment. That’s mean and childish and you should be publicly shamed. Oh, wait. Your own fame guarantees that. Good. As for Beyonce. She looked somewhat appalled, albeit under the guise of self-conscious humility.

First President Bush, now Taylor Swift. why is Kanye always picking on little girls who did nothing wrong?

The contrast in this picture says it all: Classy, elegantly dressed young woman with good posture vs some hunched over thug-douche wearing sunglasses inside a brightly lit facility with a topiary maze shaved into his head, wearing a black (pleather?) shirt with – are those sleeves rolled up?? – and torn up jeans? wtf.

19 year old Swift was reportedly spotted “crying hysterically” backstage afterwards.

Stars watching the show and tweeting immediately posted their thoughts on the incident:

Kanye needs to learn how to wait his turn,” Zac Hanson wrote. “I am sure he will get plenty of mic time to say something stupid later in the show.”

Country singer John Rich went even further with his tweet: “KanyeWest is a lowlife. He needs to have his @@@ kicked in the middle of the stage right now! What a piece of @@@@!!! Go TAYLOR SWIFT.

Pink, who was also nominated for best female video, tweeted: “Kanye west is the biggest piece of s– on earth. Quote me.”

And Katy Perry followed suit: “F– U KANYE. IT’S LIKE U STEPPED 0N A KITTEN.

Later, when Diddy and Jamie-Lynn Sigler took the stage to announce the best male video winner (rapper TI took it), they mentioned each of the nominees, including West, who was loudly booed by the crowd.

Flashback from 2007 when there was this: Video: Whiny loser loses, whines like a five-year-old at Video Music Awards... but actually it’s so much “whining” as it is a race-based hate tantrum…

Shameless backstabber laments friends stabbing his back

levi-gawkerYoung Alaskan self described redneck Levi Johnston entered the public stage when his unprotected sex with his girlfriend resulted in that one thing that unprotected sex results in. I forget what its called, but its the thing when you put your sperm into a girl and she gets all fat n stuff afterward? you know what I’m talking about? anyway, a baby was produced out of that and the reason it was a news making event was because the girl he knocked up was the Governor of Alaska’s daughter at a time when said Governor was running as Vice President of the united states. If you’re confused what is so newsworthy about a potential Vice Presidents child engaging in bad behavior then knowing that we’re talking about Republicans should clear that up for you.

During the knock-up news, they were together and engaged (with still no sign that they were threatened or forced into said engagement) and Levi was saying nice things about Sarah Palin and the Palin family at large. Then he realized he could get WAY more attention if he did the opposite, so he did. Now he’s doing photoshoots that may or may not include his famous baby-making penis, on red carpets with young popular hotties at the top of their game such as Kathy Griffin and he’s got a book deal claiming to “tell all” about the Palins dirty little secrets that he knows (because banging someones daughter obviously results in a wealth of insider-knowledge about her parents. clearly).

Now we learn that poor Levi has been victim, er, to exactly the kind of sell-out betrayal he’s doing to the Palins. Just look at this lamenting in an article without a hint of irony:

A busboy came by and filled our glasses. He and Levi knew each other from before Levi got famous. They exchanged heys. He told Levi that he tried to call, but that his number didn’t work. Levi told him that he has to change his number a lot. As the boy walked away, I caught something a little sad in Levi’s expression. A lot of friends have sold him out, giving details about his life to reporters, Rex told me. I asked Levi about it.

I lost all the friends that are trying to do that. I let ’em go a long time ago,” he said. “I know which ones I can trust now.”

Ya, it’s hard to know who you can trust these days eh Leev’s? People who you thought were your friends and then all of a sudden go public with details about your personal lives? What is this world coming to? You trust people and open your life up to them and as soon as they realize there may be money and fame in revealing “secrets” about you they pull a 180 and sell you out?
