Kanye West Upstages Taylor Swift at MTV’s Video Music Awards (VMA)
September 14, 2009 by
Taylor Swift, the cutest American country pop singer, won Best Female Video in MTV’s Video Music Awards and bested out Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Beyonce.
She took the stage to accept the award and deliver her thanks when Kanye West suddenly jumped on stage and grabbed her microphone to declare that Beyonce should have won because she had the best videos of all time.
The crowd booed the Kanye interruption and Kanye stormed off stage. Swift was left on stage flabbergasted looking at the floor before she was ushered off stage. Beyonce was as stunned as Taylor Swift.
**UPDATE**
Beyonce won Best Video of the Year, the biggest award of the VMA show, and generously shared the spotlight with Taylor Swift. Beyonce danced her way to the stage, with the Single Ladies playing on the background. “Wow, this is amazing. I remember being 17 years old, up for my 1st MTV award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life. I’d like Taylor to come out and have her moment…”
She then calls Taylor to the stage, “where are you?” The crowd cheered in uproar. Taylor comes out in a red ensemble as well, different from her silver backless gown she wore earlier during her acceptance speech, approaches Beyonce and gives her a hug.
“Maybe we could do this again,” Swift opened her statement. Like any grateful kid, she thanked the director of the video, including the fans who followed her on MySpace and Twitter and her brother’s high school for the video venue.

The Appren-tease in Jesse James Blindsided Sandra Bullock
I really liked Apprentice Celebrity Season 1 a lot and loved the clever Piers Morgan and his biting (but objective) tongue in it. I caught several reruns of Apprentice Celebrity Season 2 and was intrigued by it despite not having as many strategic players as the first one. Jesse James, 40, had a cool stance during the whole season and maintained his stand on not using his wife’s connections to get more money for their team projects.
Sandra Bullock, 45, was freshly minted with the coveted Oscar best actress awards several weeks back. Nowadays, she’s back in the limelight but not for her acting chops in Blind Side, but because of Jesse James’ infidelity. Not only with one woman –but with FOUR others.
The news broke when Michelle McGee told In Touch, she and James had unprotected sex once a week during their 11-month romance. Soon after, more women came out dishing about their affairs with James.
Sandra Bullock broke her silence to People Magazine and denied reports that there’s a sex tape with her and husband Jesse in it. “There is no sex tape. There never has been one and there never will be one.” Other than that statement, Bullock has remained quiet about her current relationship status with James. Many speculate that she will file for a divorce.
Meanwhile, Jesse James also denied Internet rumors of a sex tape. He said in a statement, “There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way. This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.”
His lawyer reports that James is struggling to get back into Sandra’s good graces. “When all is said and done, he wants the same people who were living in his house before all this happened to still be living there,” his attorney, Joe Yanny, said in a statement Monday. “And he wants to save his marriage with the woman he loves more than anything in his life.”
Ricky Martin is Gay
After so many years of keeping his personal life private, Latin pop star Ricky Martin admits in his book that he is gay. In his official Website, Martin says that writing his memoir and his twins are what made him go public about his homosexuality.
“I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.” I think not a lot of people were surprised but it’s still a brave thing to come out in the open.
So Mr. PJ, when are you writing your book? 🙂
