**UPDATE** MIKE-FM wants to know who you think made the rudest interruption this month? Was it Kanye West or Joe Wilson (the guy who shouted LIAR! during Obama’s speech).  Go to the MIKE-FM homepage now and the random poll is in the middle of the page

The MTV Video Music Awards went down last night annd Kanye West did not let the opportunity to make an ass of himself at another award show pass him by. The first VMA went to Taylor Swift for Best Female Video. Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” was one of the nominees. Taylor was Stunned, but pretty psyched. She said, quote, “I always wondered what it would be like to maybe win one of these someday, but never actually thought it would happen.” And then, as if on cue, Kanye jumped onstage and took the microphone from her. He said, quote, “Taylor, I’m really happy for you, and I’m gonna let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time.” The crowed booed Kanye as he handed the microphone back to Taylor. At that point, she was pretty much speechless. She did eventually try to resume her speech, but the audio had already cut out so the show could go to a pre-recorded skit. Below is some video from MTV that shows what happened. (They seem to put a quick video clip before it, but keep watching…it is there).

Backstage, Kanye was asked to LEAVE the building , which he did. Also backstage, Taylor and her mother were reportedly seen crying. (Taylor was composed enough later in the show, however, to perform her winning song, “You Belong to Me”.) The crowed booed Kanye again later in the show, when Diddy announced his name among nominees for Best Male Video. Kanye was already gone by then.

But it was Beyoncé who made things right at the end of the evening, when “Single Ladies” won Video of the Year. Instead of giving her own speech, she talked about winning her first VMA as part of Destiny’s Child. She said, quote, “I remember how excited I was. I’d like Taylor to come out and have her moment.” Taylor came out onstage and gave her speech.

Shortly after the VMAs ended, Kanye issued an apology for his idiocy. He said, quote, “I’m sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom. I spoke to her mother right after and she said the same thing my mother would’ve said. She is very talented! I like the lyrics about being a cheerleader and she’s in the bleachers! I’m in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment!” Then he went on to call “Single Ladies”, quote, “the best video of this decade.” And he added, quote, “I gave my awards to Outkast when they deserved it over me . . . That’s what it is!!!!!!! I’m not crazy y’all, I’m just real. Sorry for that!!! I really feel bad for Taylor and I’m sincerely sorry!!! Much respect.”

That blog post went missing after traffic to Kanye’s site was so heavy that it crashed! When it came back online, the post was gone. He has since made a 2nd apology that says: “I feel like Ben Stiller in “Meet the Parents” when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave… That was Taylor’s moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry.”

Celebrities are coming out via their Twitter accounts and posting their thoughts about the incident. Here are a few of the items being posted:
