I’m not one to watch music or acting awards ceremonies, but even I was unable to ignore the activity surrounding tonight’s outrageous action from Kayne West.

From MTV:

The rapper stormed the stage just after the first award, for Best Female Video, was presented to Taylor Swift. He cut the teen singer off, grabbing the mic and protesting in support of Beyoncé.

“I’m sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time,” he proclaimed as B looked on from the crowd, stunned.

I just can’t get over this. The young performer walks out on stage to accept an award (no idea if it’s her first) and he has the balls to get up on stage and take the microphone FROM HER HANDS and take that opportunity to share the love for Beyonce. There are only two explanations for his actions in my mind: he’s strung out on drugs, or he is as stupid as rocks and has no perception of human decency and public relations.

I’m sure there is better footage available, but the first two videos I found were removed from YouTube before I could finish writing this blog post.  Who knows if this one will stick for more than 10 minutes.
