The world needs Kayne West...
Sep. 13th, 2009 11:22 pm...to remind us that even legitimately talented and hard-working people can be complete assholes who are deserving of ridicule.
I haven't watched the VMAs in years, but if I was going to spend two hours storing up pop-culture discussion fodder, this is the best time investment I can think of.

My conclusions: I do not love Russel Brand. I also? Do not love Kanye West. I could not be less interested in Twilight if I tried.
It is really unfortunate that Kanye decided to be [more of] an asshole [than usual] tonight, because I am really liking Run This Town. I'll bet there will be a version with him edited out of it somewhere on the internet by morning, and it is very lucky for everyone that that's not the track Jay was set to perform tonight. That would have been a total train wreck. I don't entirely understand Jay-Z's last-minute arrival at the VMAs, but Beyoncé is made of awesome tonight from her performance to giving up her acceptance speech for video of the year so that Taylor Swift could have the moment that Kanye stole from her.
In other news, I spent the day at an end-of-summer cookout with friends from high school and friends-of-friends. I remember why I don't talk to some of them anymore. Lovely people, but getting them to talk is like drawing blood from a stone. Awkward.
