Obama Calls Kanye West A "Jacka**"

President Obama

Things are going from bad to worse for rapper, Kanye West, who rudely interrupted the acceptance speech of singer, Taylor Swift, to state the wife of his boss, Jay-Z, deserved to win instead of her.

Today, U.S. President Barack Obama was overheard calling West a "Jack***" to a press pool, whilst waiting for an official interview to begin.

President's opinion of Kanye West sparks debate

NEW YORK — President Barack Obama's candid thoughts about Kanye West are provoking a debate over standards of journalism in the Twitter age.

ABC News says it was wrong for its employees to tweet that Obama had called West a "jacka**" for the rapper's treatment of country singer Taylor Swift. The network said some of its employees had overheard a conversation between the president and CNBC's John Harwood and didn't realize it was considered off the record.

The network apologized to the White House and CNBC...

Madonna Who?

Proving once again Madonna is a pop relic, an article published in the Orlando Sentinel, featured commentary by a reporter, whose teenage son knew who 50-year-old Michael Jackson was, but drew a blank on Madonna, like most young members of the public.

The teen witnessed Madonna make an insincere, self-promoting appearance at the MTV VMA's, spouting a soulless tribute to Jackson, whom she previously referred to as a pedophile.

Last year, a poll revealed, most young audiences do not know who Madonna is, but confirmed they do know about pop singers Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears.

Time to retire, o' crazy one.

12-year old: Who's Madonna?

Sep 15, 2009 8:00:00 AM - I had a "feeling my age" moment the other night while watching MTV's video music awards with my son.

Sure, I'm in my 40s, but I'm not stuck in the '80s. I like the old music, but I like new music, too...At the beginning of the VMAs, Madonna came out to offer a heartfelt tribute to Michael Jackson.

That's when the trouble began.

"Who's that?" my son asked.

"Madonna."

"Who's Madonna?"

Huh? I mean, seriously, how can he not know who Madonna is? Ironically, he knows who Michael Jackson is, and after being exposed to his music after Jackson died, he's a big fan.

But Madonna? No way...

It's Official - Kanye West Is Crazy

Crackhead Alert!

Kanye West Interrupting singer Taylor Swift's speech

The U.S. government often issues terrorism alerts to warn the public to be vigilant. Well, this website is now issuing a crackhead alert, warning audiences to be vigilant regarding rapper Kanye West and his childish, unnecessary antics.

Yesterday, Kayne West rudely and inexplicably went on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards, interrupting singer Taylor Swift's award acceptance speech, to announce Beyonce's copyright infringing Bob Fosse rip-off video for the track "Single Ladies" was way better than Swift's clip. Beyonce smirked when it happened, but later called Swift on stage when she heard the audience booing West.

Let that sink in, Kanye. Essentially you were telling the world, Beyonce deserved to win an award for a music video she blatantly stole from dance legend, Bob Fosse. Shouldn't Fosse get the award, then. You think about that.

I've stated it before and I shall state it again, white women are nice, because Kanye could not have rolled up to a black woman on stage in that disrespectful manner. Well, he could have, but he'd be in traction in the hospital right now.

Bisexual, Kanye West and his bisexual girlfriend, Amber Rose, apologized to Swift after being booed and escorted out of the building, which sent the rapper and his ego crashing back to Earth.

Kanye was disrespectful and out of line. Over the course of the last year, Swift sold more records than he and Beyonce combined. Yet he took it upon himself to indulge in a tantrum, because Beyonce's husband, Jay-Z signed him to his company Rocafella, which is pure garbage.

Swift, should have rebuffed him when he tried to take the microphone from her, during the middle of her speech and said to him, "Move or I will slap some new lines in your head." That's another thing, Kanye, what's with the Egyptian hieroglyphics hairdo.

West, was asked to leave the VMAs after the incident, as he'd ruined the 19-year-old's acceptance speech. Dude, really believes his own hype, when he can't sing, is an average rapper and very derivative producer.

Really, what were you doing up there. You don't own music. In the grand scheme of things, you will be considered a footnote. Not even Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston or Barbara Streisand would have the right to do what you did to Swift. But then again, they know better than to be so ungracious.

Kanye West outburst rains on Swift's MTV parade

NEW YORK — The MTV Video Music Awards kicked off Sunday with a poignant, tender tribute to fallen icon Michael Jackson, but soon got back into raucous character thanks to Kanye West, who delivered yet another awards show outburst at the expense of country and pop sweetheart Taylor Swift...

West — who has flipped out after losing at the VMAs, the Grammys, the American Music Awards and more — complained again that the wrong person had been awarded a trophy. This time, it was on behalf of Beyonce...

But West ruined her moment when he jumped on stage at Radio City Music Hall...

Kanye West Asked To Leave VMAs After Rant Against Taylor Swift

Kanye West was asked to leave Radio City Music Hall not long after he crashed the MTV Video Music Awards stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video.

The rapper rushed onto the stage and immediately protested Swift's win, saying Beyoncé instead deserved the honor.

"I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time," 'Ye proclaimed after he pulled the microphone out of the country star's hands. B looked stunned as she sat by in the audience...

But his verbal attack against Swift had a more vicious tone. According to a tweet from Jay-Z's DJ, Neil Armstrong, Swift and her mother were seen backstage crying afterward...

He was booed again in the show when Diddy announced the nominees for Best Male Video. "What I say?" Diddy asked, as the boos rained down.

West had already left Radio City Music Hall by then, however.

Kanye West Apologizes To Taylor Swift For VMA Rant

Sep 14 2009 12:22 AM EDT ...At the beginning of the evening, Kanye West stormed the stage just after the first award, for Best Female Video. Taylor Swift won the award, and during her acceptance speech, West abruptly cut the teen singer off, grabbing the mic and protesting in support of Beyoncé, who was also nominated.

"I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time," he proclaimed as B looked on from the crowd, stunned.

Soon afterward, West was escorted from the building...

At around the same time, West took to his blog to deliver one of his familiar all-caps posts (edited into sentence case here) addressing the situation.

"I'm sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom," he wrote. "I spoke to her mother right after and she said the same thing my mother would've 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!

"Beyoncé'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 Taylor!!!! Boooyaaawwww!!!!

I really feel bad for Taylor and I'm sincerely sorry!!! Much respect!!!!!"

Kabbalah DJ Found Dead

Kabbalah member, DJ AM, was found dead in his New York apartment yesterday. DJ AM, real name, Adam Goldstein, survived a plane crash last year that killed four people.

A friend went to check on him, after not hearing from Goldstein for a few days. When he received no response from knocking on his door, his friend called the police.

The police then contacted the fire department, requesting they breakdown his apartment door. Goldstein was found dead, laying face down in bed. A crackpipe and prescription medication were found in his apartment.

In the weeks before his passing, Goldstein began work on an MTV special aimed at cleaning up drug addicts. He professed he was 9-years sober, but clearly relapsed.

Side Bar: didn't the site just go over this two days ago, with the death of Kabbalah member Michael Jackson, warning that another Kabbalah member, Britney Spears, engaging in similarly reckless conduct, is eligible for an overdose. Not to mention the Heath Ledger article last year. Celebrities often fail to learn from others mistakes.

Side Bar #2: As a poster on TMZ's feedback section noted last night, thus far, this summer alone, there have been a number of celebrity deaths: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, Jasmine Fiore, Oscar Mayer Jr, John Hughes, Eunice Shriver, Ted Kennedy, Walter Cronkite, Steve McNair, David Carridine, Dominique Dunne, Karl Malden, Gale Storm, Sky Saxon and Fred Travalena.

DJ AM, Star Disc Jockey, Found Dead

Published: August 28, 2009 - DJ AM, a high-profile disc jockey who was as famous for his much-chronicled relationships as he was for his creative scratching and mixing on the celebrity club circuit, was found dead on Friday evening in his apartment in Manhattan, the police said.

The police said his body was found in his seventh-floor apartment in SoHo about 5:30 p.m. after friends had tried unsuccessfully to reach him for days. The chief police spokesman, Paul J. Browne, said the police did not suspect foul play.

DJ AM, 36, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, was discovered face-down in his bed wearing only sweatpants, with a crack pipe and unspecified prescription drugs nearby, an official said.

Emergency workers had to break down the door to get in after one of the friends who had been trying to reach Mr. Goldstein called 911 on Friday.

In an interview with The New York Times in 2007, Mr. Goldstein said he drank heavily, used cocaine and smoked crack in his early 20s, reaching his lowest point when he attempted suicide in 1997. But he also said he had cleaned up his life — including having gastric bypass surgery after his weight ballooned to 324 pounds — and had managed to stay sober for nine years...

In October, The Associated Press reported, MTV was to begin his new reality show, “Gone Too Far,” in which he and concerned families staged interventions for drug abusers...

How Original Is "Twilight"?

How original is "Twilight"? I ask because of all the plagiarism claims that have surfaced. The most notable are claims regarding the fourth book in Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight" installment titled "Breaking Dawn" proving to be a rip off of Jordan Scott's preexisting copyrighted book "The Nocturne."

Previously, the "Twilight" perfume was shown to be a complete rip-off of Nina Ricci's well established fragrance. Therefore, the question is, just how much of this "Twilight" franchise is real and not stolen from someone else's copyrights. It's forming a pattern illustrating something is very wrong.

A lawyer tried to defend Meyer's conduct on the MTV website, regarding stealing the preexisting copyrighted book, by incredulously stating, some items in Scott's book are not uncommon.

Stephanie Meyer

I don't know about you, but a book featuring a woman pregnant with a vampire's seed, that is making her ill, with the baby having to be cut out of the womb and numerous lines of text being lifted from said book verbatim, among other things, is distinct and substantial, as it forms the basis for the work.

Furthermore, as a writer of any caliber, one should be ashamed to admit stealing anything from anyone, then looking for loopholes in Copyright Law to hide behind, as it states you are a fraud.

The internet is a great place, but is has exposed a lot of writers, including myself, to unwanted plagiarism and copyright infringement, by Hollywood stars and so-called writers, hiding behind their computers, while stealing from hardworking people. Who could respect such thievery, as it is ugly and so uncalled for.
