How could you be so heartless?

VMAs were hard to watch last night. I get that its probably not the easiest thing to do to corral drunk celebrities, but the pre-show and majority of the show was skin-crawlingly awkward.

Good parts of the night:
-Singers actually singing live (Swift, GaGa, P!nk, Perry)
-Lady Gaga's morbid but AWESOME performance of Paparazzi
-Pink having to be restrained by security from beating Kanye's tiny ass.

MY piece about the Kanye Pest fiasco:

Everyone one knows Kanye's full of himself. He always has been. Last night wasn't the first tantrum he's thrown at an awards show. It was just the lowest he's stooped to do it. There's been a few good rants about Kanye on celebrity twitters and interviews. Since ranting is what I do best, allow me. Ahem.

Dear Kanye,

You make good music. I'll give you that. Lots of people wondered when your ego was going to be your downfall, and I think we all just witnessed it on live TV. Your hubris and ego has finally eclipsed your talent. Your body of work has been overshadowed by your stupid ass tantrums. THAT'S what you'll be known for in 10 years - Being a baby. How's that feel? Don't feel anything? Still think you're the best thing ever? Okay. I can hit harder (and lower). *pause for deep breath...*

I like that you had to reach UP to take the mic from Taylor. Is your ego partially to make you feel bigger than you are? 'Cause you're just a little guy. How's it feel knowing TAYLOR SWIFT makes you look small?

Your girlfriend looks like something stolen out of Roswell. (read: she looks like an alien)

Luckily, your douch-baggery didn't ruin everyone's night. Beyonce won video of the year and got Taylor to come back on stage to finish her speech, making it the last speech of the night. Beyonce is crazy talented (and smoking hot) and a class act. Which is why she can choose to marry the best rapper of the last 10 years, Jay-Z. Jay-Z - THERE'S someone who'll get remembered for his music. Unlike you, Kanye, who'll get remembered for thinking they were cooler than they actually were.

Still have an attitude, 'ye? I've got one more:

Somewhere, Kanye, your mother is ashamed of you.

Well said. He pretty much sucks at life for ruining the innocent 19 year old's shining moment. She's an adorable, clean-cut, talented celeb-teen and deserves respect. Kudos to all the celebrities who stuck up for her last night, especially Beyonce for her attempt at giving Taylor her moment back.

He's a hot mess with too much money and a huge ego. Remember his little "George Bush hates black people" stunt he pulled during hurricane Katrina. He's right up there with Chris Brown, no plays on my iTunes for awhile 'ye, no plays.

Kanye is living testament to the truth of one of my favorite quotes:

"Ignorace more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge".
