And Don't We Love Kanye?

You know, I really do have to love him because there is nothing more fun than watching a celebrity who loves himself so much that it never occurs to him that he is nothing more than a complete ass. It has been done before. (Think Tom Cruise and his "Matt you're glib" comment to Matt Lauer - misusing the word and acting as if he was some sort of expert in the field of psychology by virture of being a follower of the ever creepy L. Ron Hubbard.) Yes, its been done before - but never so well.

My blackberry went wild with FB notifications - all about his obnoxious rant - I hadn't been watching so I had to google it. I have watched it at least 10 times since then, in utter amazement. I tried so hard to get into his head to try to imagine what level of "god" he must believe himself to be to just interrupt an acceptance speech with his "better idea" on national television? Can you spell N-E-E-D-S-I-M-M-E-D-I-A-T-E-I-N-T-E-R-V-E-N-T-I-O-N? It was like watching someone jump off a cliff, to prove he could fly with no idea he was just falling. And oh what a joy ride it was for the rest of us.

As for Ms. Swift - I feel bad for the public humiliation but this will probably do more for her career than the stupid award ever could. I mean - why are they even giving awards for music videos?

Anyway, I'll admit to shallow - but there is nothing more shallow than these endless award shows designed for nothing more than ratings boosts anyway. I had a really fun time watching those 3 minutes of it. And I LOVE that he was asked to leave. It just doesn't get any better than that.

I know. Shame on me.

  1. Since you didn't watch the show you missed KW and his gal pal swigging from bottles of alcohol on the red carpet and then KW handing his bottle to Daddy Jackson to go up on stage - sorry but the guy's a PIG and I don't care how great his music is there's nothing funny about doing this - especially to a young 19 year old girl - with this action - Serena's debacle on Sat and Wilson's outburst in the joint session - it makes me very sad that respect and decorum are not valued in our country any longer - xo reve
