Kanye posted an apology on his website


Kanye posted an apology for his heckling during the VMA's:


"I'M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM," Kanye wrote on his site, AP reported. "I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD'VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED!"

Others aren't really buying his apology:

Pink tweeted about her annoyance with Kanye. "Kanye West is the biggest piece of sh-t on earth. Quote me," she wrote. "My heart goes out to Taylor Swift. She is a sweet and talented girl, and deserved her moment. She should know we all love her." She later said on the Today Show that the incident never would have happened if she had won because she had a cute Alexander McQueen purse with brass knuckles on it.

Now, I'm going to be honest here. I had heard Taylor Swift's name before but couldn't pick her out of a lineup before last night (and maybe still this morning). When I saw Kanye run up next to her on stage I thought it was part of the night's skits. After listening to what he had to say, I felt sorry for the girl. That was her first VMA and she is only 19. To her credit, Beyonce looked shocked and embarassed (though some are saying she and Kanye orchestrated the event). Maybe this was another Eminem-Sascha Baron Cohen type scam. If so, it was in poor taste just like so much of the awards show (Russell Brand's jokes, Lady Ga Ga's 'performance', etc.).

As far as Bey goes, it was just good PR for her to 'graciously' give up her award acceptance time to Taylor. If she hadn't, the backlash would have extended to her. Her PR team was just earning their keep. The same applies to her pre-show statement that Janet Jackson was one of her inspirations. This after her quote earlier this year: “I grew up upper class. Private school..My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons, but I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.” Um, yeah. It doesn't sound much like she idolized her. More like just swaggerjacked her style and kept it moving.

Was J.R. Smith twittering gang messages?


Denver Nuggets guard, J.R. Smith, has deleted his Twitter page after The Denver Post questioned his use of known gang symbols in his tweets. Apparently fans noticed he would occasionally change the "c" in certain words to a "k" which is supposedly a Bloods gang practice. He posted this parting message before he took his page down Tuesday:


"ok people i love all of my fans im sorry but this will be my last tweet you know why but it is what it is love all an tke Care"

Notice he wanted to make sure you all caught that last C in care. Really, if they wanted to know what he's been up to all they would have to do is read his body.

M.I.A. commissioned a clown suit for her baby




M.I.A. got tired of Rihanna hogging all the fashion spotlight lately with her every-other-daily haircuts so she commissioned a clown suit for her baby to match the hot garbage she wore to the Grammys this year. The kid is cute, but you can tell from his face he's just sitting there going "why me?"

Dorion's D*ck Speaks Out




Really, I'm more interested in the fact that Dorion's D*ck has a Twitter page than what it is actually saying here. I did rather enjoy his pics last month. (Note to Soulja Boy: Dorion knows how to Twitter the twigs and berries.) I might actually break down and join Twitter to see what other revelations his organs have up their (its?) sleeve. What's up with that avatar? Am I posting porn?

Cassie Twittered another cry for help


Cassie twittered yet another cry for help. The half-shaved head wasn't enough so she took the gyno shots. You all still lost interest, so no she has to remind herself she has no regrets. Of course we know she does. SMH
