2009 AMA Red Carpet Arrival PHOTOS

Missy — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:44:55 +0000

Breathtaking and head turning was what last night’s 2009 American Music Awards were all about. So many different styles, yet true to form, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert all had one thing in common…shock factor.

I have often wondered if the AMA picks the costume designers for the musicians. Did anone else notice that there were an awful lot of spikes on the clothing?

Speaking of Adam Lambert, his performance has been described as brilliantly freakish. Check it out here.

Check out all of the photos below and let us know your picks for best and worst dressed on this year’s red carpet.

Jay-Z Weighs in on Kanye’s VMA Outburst

Missy — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:29:38 +0000

Unless you are living in a hole, you have already heard about rapper Kanye West taking the stage during the Taylor Swift acceptance speech at the VMA’s last week.

Not only did he take away from the young country singers big night but in turn embarrassed singer Beyonce when he boldly announced that it was Beyonce that should be standing up on stage accepting the award. Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z is now speaking out on the crazy night.

“I just think that is what he believed. I thought it was rude, I thought it was inappropriate and I told him as much. I think he was wrong. “

Is he holding a grudge against West? No. “The way they’re treating him…he’s on the cover of every paper. He didn’t kill anybody. No one got harmed. (He’s just) a super passionate person.”

The fact is, Jay-Z may have dissed Kanye’s bad behavior, BUT he happens to agree with Kanye about Beyonce’s video being better than Swift’s. He admitted, “I don’t think he was wrong.”

So there you have it! Something tells me you wouldn’t want to be scolded by Jay-Z…we’re just saying.

Janet Jackson paid tribute to Michael Jackson, performing a “Scream” dance off with her late brother at the 2009 MTV VMAs.

The Michael Jackson tribute began with Madonna honoring the King of Pop in a speech about her relationship with him.

Madonna ended her speech saying, “Yes, Michael Jackson was a human being but he was a king. Long live the king!” eliciting a standing ovation from the audience.

Then live dancers took to the stage, performing in sync with Jackson’s greatest hits videos playing on a giant video screen in the background.

Janet Jackson joined the onstage dancers, shattering through glass to end the tribute with an intense performance.

Kanye West Apology to Taylor Swift

Missy — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:19:16 +0000

So here it is, the apology we all know that Kanye West was forced to make after the outrageous stunt he pulled last night at the VMA’s. West interrupted Taylor Swift as she was giving her acceptance speech for winning the Best Female Video award.

“I’M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD HAVE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE’S IN THE BLEACHERS!………….I’M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!……………BEYONCE’S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I”M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN’ THE SHOW AT THE CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE…WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I’M STILL HAPPY FOR YOU TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!! YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME…THAT’S WHAT IT IS!!!!!! I’M NOT CRAZY YALL, I’M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I RALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I’M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!”

Here is the link to Kanye’s website. At the moment it says that the site is down due to upgrades…or maybe his management is rewriting his apology letter? The most likely scenario is that people have overloaded the site to see what he has to say for himself this morning.

Pink ‘tweeted’ about the situation on her Twitter page, “Beyonce is a classy lady. I feel for her, too. It’s not her fault at all, and her and Taylor did their thing. And douche bag got kicked out. HA!”

Kanye West showed his a$$ at the MTV VMAs, and jumped onstage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video, grabbed her microphone, and declared Beyonce’s video one of the best of all time.

Poor Taylor was speechless. The crowd gave her a standing ovation as she left the stage, and later booed when Diddy mentioned Kanye’s name. Go VMA audience! After much public ridicule and peer pressure to do so, there was eventually an apology – view it here.

Comedian Dane Cook took time out during the Teen Choice Awards to say what most of America wants to say to many young celebrities who are taking their clothes off for the cameras.

Dane targeted Vanessa Hudgens, “Before I do the Choice Hotties, can I just say what everybody in this room is thinking but nobody has said?” Dane then asked, “Where is Vanessa Hudgens?” She waved her hands with a smile. He continued, “Girl you gots to keep your clothes on! Phones are for phone calls, girl.”

Vanessa has been all the rage on the internet and in the press for a series of new leaked photos. The young celeb’s rep has yet to comment on the latest pics. They are said to be several years old and were apparently taken before her first photo scandal in 2007.
