I's not really that complicated. Kanye acts like a classless douchbag because he is a classless douchebag. Pretty simple, really.

I just wish his momma hadn't died last year so we could see how She would have handled her baby boy! Or would she have cared?

Jeremy that is perfectly logical. Kayne doesn't care what he looks like because his public perception didn't really even change after this event, with the possible exception that simply more people became aware of who he was and how much of a douche he is.

That is what I mean. Every one came out with a plus.

The Gangsta is more Gangsta
The kitten is fluffier.
Beyonce come out cool.

If it wasn't staged it should have been.

I agree, Mark.

But in an office somewhere there's a manager calling a meeting and saying:

"Fellas, we need to find a way to MONETIZE this douchebaggery."

What wouldn't surprise me is if West was encouraged to stir ship up ...ratings and all. I mean MTV? --who watches that stuff anymore?

I doubt that Taylor Swift is that good of an actor. ...or even would have been given a heads-up.

OMG! I haven't read all of this, but 5 pages over the BS? C'mon! This had to be staged IMO to bump up the ratings for MTV, Beyonce, Taylor, Kayne, etc. The economy is down so why not push the envelope and even get the president to talk about it. My wife told me about it today and I watched the youtube vid of it. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME GUYS! MOVE THE F**** ON!!!!!!! They ALL suck IMO....

That's what I keep thinking. Jay Z, Beyonce, Kanye West, Taylor Swift - I wouldn't walk across the street to see any of them free of charge.

Jay-Z is Beyonce's boyfriend and also owns the label that Kanye West is on.

Jay-Z closed the VMA show with Alicia Keys, who is also signed to one of his labels.

As a good businessman, Jay-Z is looking for a "magic bullet" to boost sales of both Kanye's and Beyonce's products at the same time.

As a co-conspirator, MTV is looking for a way to boost the hype-cache of it's awards show.

So:

Jay-Z and MTV pay Kanye an undisclosed amount of money to do what he did. Taylor Swift is informed and agrees.

Taylor Swift doesn't care, she has her award locked-up and everyone knows it.

Day of show:

Kanye, Beyonce, and Jay-Z arrive in an entourage of 6 vehicles (truth!). Kanye sports the "open bottle of cognac" as both a convincing stage-prop and his potential out.

("I was drunk, I'm sorry.")

So, Kanye does what he does. Taylor Swift stands there and lets it happen, doesn't react negatively, and comes out smelling like a rose.

"She handled it about as good as anyone could expect, what a nice girl!"

Kanye doesn't care, because he's got 6-7 figures in his pocket, and everyone expects him to be sensational.

"Kanye always does something crazy! What a douche."


Then the clincher, Beyonce pre-empts her own acceptance speech and brings Taylor Swift on stage. Everyone says:

"Wow! That Beyonce is a class act. She's very gracious!"

Beyonce and Taylor Swift both come out smelling like a rose.

Then, at the end of the show, Jay-Z and Beyonce Raise the Roof y'all and come out smelling like roses.



To me, this theory seems a little far-fetched which is why I almost believe it.

I think Serena Williams should complain.

She went ballistic at the U.S. Open the weekend before her book came out (and all her P.R. events were booked). She wuz' robbed!

Can't all this misbehavior be planned a little better?

Don't these people have people to talk to the other people's people??
