Kanye West Acts Like An Ass At Another Awards Show

Swift's "You Belong With Me," beat out Beyonce's "Single Ladies" for best female video. Kanye who has been a crybaby on his own behalf at past the VMAs, the Grammys, the American Music Awards when he lost, this time was a crybaby and sore loser for Beyonce.

As Swift was accepting her award, the AP reports that Kanye jumped up on stage and said "Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time." AP reports that a shocked Beyonce looked on and the crowd began to boo. A crestfallen Swift didn't finish her speech, but the audience applauded her anyway. She later performed "You Belong With Me" in a subway station.

Beyonce showed a LOT more class later in the program, read the AP article for that and Kanye's blogged apology - here

Michael Jackson Tribute Concert Canceled

Michael's brother Jermaine Jackson had struggled to get R&B stars Mary J. Blige and Chris Brown and veteran singer Natalie Cole to confirm they could attend, fuelling speculation the gig would be canceled for lack of interest.

"Due to the short time frame it was not possible for many of them to change their schedule so that they could be on stage in Vienna on September 26, therefore we decided, after careful consideration, to change the date of the tribute concert to the summer 2010," he said in the statement issued in London. - more on this story
