Wow! I think even less of Kanye now, but more of Beyonce.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Because books.
Oh, yeah. Beyonce was totally classy about it.
Apparently Kanye's performance was either cancelled, causing him to storm out, or he stormed out so they cancelled it. Either way, Muse got to play twice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Chalk another one up for poor impulse control on a big stage.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, help me out here. Earlier, Angry guy said some nasty things to Peter, calling in some nasty word (I forget what) for crazy. But he also said, "Your dog is dead!"
That was a threat, right?

Yeah, Diddy got booed when he mentioned Kanye's name later, and Kanye's nomination for video of the year got booed, as well. No one seemed amused.

Sara got cupcake earrings today! Which is cool when you're five. And even when you're not, really.
I'm just saying, I LOVE cupcake jewelry and I made cupcake hair clips for me, Grace and K! We each have a set.
Kanye is an ass.

Wow, that IS ass-tastic of Kanye!! Glad to hear at least Beyonce had class.
I just assumed it was anti-gay cause the only few people I saw say anything on FB were gays. :) But then, given how many of my friends are, that's not surprising.

Wilkerson: Cheney "Now Is Just Crazy"
Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, has concluded that former Vice President Dick Cheney is no longer in his right mind.
In an interview with Andy Worthingon of The Public Record, Wilkerson says: "I’ve come to the conclusion that the man truly is—whether he was that way when I knew him before, when he was Secretary of Defense, I don’t know, that’s not at issue with me any more—the man now is just crazy."
Wilkerson further refers to former BushCo factotum Alberto Gonsalves as "that idiot," and describes Cheney's principal War on Terra aide, David Addington, as "a strange person," known in "the uniformed military as 'Weird David,'" who was nonetheless allowed to serve as "both the Zawahiri and the bin Laden" of BushCo.
Wilkerson notes that although Cheney is now deranged, the media continues to enable him. "Our media loves to keep it going. They love to throw him out there and, you know, stoke the fires." And that Democratic leaders, terrified of being portrayed as "soft" on national security, have also capitulated to this man who is, in fact, mad.

Sounds like one to me. I'm sorry your new place is so colorful.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just watched the Taylor Swift bit of the reshowing of the VMAs. Taylor was adorable, totally stunned, got through about "Thank you, I really didn't expect this, I sing country music so I'm so proud to win a VMA..." before Kanye grabbed the mic from her. He gave it back when he was done talking, but it looked like she was crying by then. The audience realized and started cheering and shouting her name, but she just wouldn't finish and walked off the stage. And the camera cut to Beyonce in the middle of this, and she looked incredibly embarrassed.
