Last night an ABC reporter, Terry Moran, tweeted an off the record comment made by President Obama, where he called Kanye West a “jack-ass” for stealing a precious moment from Taylor Swift. ABC News reporter Terry Moran later apologized for this breach of ethics.However, TMZ has the actual audio of President Obama, and you can hear it below. Now if he can just call Joe Wilson one, I can be happy. Kanye you know you messed up when the President has to chime in!
Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential
Bobby Brown reveals more secrets about his life and his relationship with Whitney Houston for an upcoming episode of Behind The Music on VH1. In the interview, according to AOL Blackvoices, Bobby Brown talks about his tumultuous marriage to singer Whitney Houston:
I think we corrupted each other. I don’t think she hurt me or I hurt her in any way. I just think we had a 14-year marriage that had its ups and downs, and not many people understood it.
Brown also reveals the reason he abused drugs and alcohol:
I used an awful lot, can’ take that back! Cocaine, it’s a powerful drug.I just think I was bored. I had just gotten married, and things [weren't] right and I turned to alcohol and drugs.
The most shocking thing in the interview was learning that he had a past relationship with Janet Jackson, and that relationship also lead to him drinking to cope:
Before I met Janet [Jackson], I would never drink hard liquor, I only drank beer. But after our break up, I started drinking hard liquor abundantly. I took the way our relationship ended very hard. Not to say we were head over heels in love, but she was someone I had a lot of feelings for.
Besides, we were young and naive. I was only about 19 or 20 years old. Young love is no joke!
Janet is right, she has been fortunate that many of the people she dated didn’t tell her business. She has been linked to a lot of men in the industry and that hasn’t even discussed their relationship with Janet. [Source]
Here is a video of Whitney Houston in part one of her interview with Oprah.
On the premiere of The Jay Leno Show last night, Kanye West along with Jay Z and Rihanna, who were originally set to perform hit “Run This Town” on the premiere episode, issued a second apology to Taylor Swift after his VMA’s outburst and interruption of her acceptance speech.
He talks about talking time off to deal with his hurt and any pain he’s caused anyone and what his mother would think of his behavior. Check it out.
The saddest thing about last night is that I now see both Kanye West and Amber Rose in a new light. I lost two things last night, my respect for Kanye West and my girl crush on Amber Rose. I didn’t lose my respect for Kanye becuase he stole a precious moment from a teen, Taylor Swift.
I lost my respect for Kanye West because he was walking around trying to be something he’s not. I don’t know what was up with the Hennessey bottle, but honestly Kanye you were trying too hard, but you’re not hard. Yes, you have a hood past, but you are not hood. Your mom was a well educated woman who made sure you had a lifestyle of literature and liberal arts, and you are doing a disservice to her and yourself. That’s why people like you because you were a breath of fresh air in a medium dominated by the negative side of urban life, and now you, too want to idolize that lifestyle…
Poor Amber, she just look like an accessory the whole night. It wasn’t just the fact that she wore a python body suit, well that had a lot to do with it, but it was more so how she was presented. I don’t like when men pimp out their women, it’s not attractive look for the woman. In all the pictures she’s hanging on him, or he’s in the background staring at her as she shows off her body. That python suit just wasn’t working at all on some many levels. I am not walking the red carpet competing with a Hennessey bottle no matter what my background is.
Anyway last night turned into a Kanye and Amber Rose night, but not in a good way. But, hey if publicity is what they wanted, they certainly got it… There were other people present, and you can check out the gallery below :
Janet Jackson’s MJ tribute was amazing! It wasn’t her greatest performance but she did her brother justice. I’m sure he would be proud.
The classy lady of the hour, Beyonce, looking stunning!
Solange always switching it up and taking fashion risks! This outfit wasn’t my favorite but cute nonetheless. Funny, she kept tweeting through out the show. At one point she even said she wanted to go home. lol
Jennifer Lopez’s rare appearance since giving birth to twins Max and Emme. She looks great!
Lady Gaga is crazy! But to be honest I loved every minute Funny how she kept changing outfits!
Alicia Keys, beautiful as always. Didn’t like this outfit as much though. She killed her performance with Jay Z on “Empire State of Mind”. If she wasn’t on the hook I don’t think I would like this record.
Keri Hilson. Cute pants suit.
Cassie always looks so beautiful no matter what she wears. But I don’t really like this dress.
I don’t know what to say about this trio, Dirty Money. Another ne of Diddy’s attempts at staying relevant I guess.
Amerie looking stunning. When will we get another album?!
They told me to stand by the side of the stage, and I didn’t really know what was going to go down, but I thought it was so wonderful and gracious of her to do what she’s always done. She’s always been a great person before anything else. Before the talented artist, the superstar, she’s always been a great person and I just, I thought I couldn’t love Beyonce more tonight, than tonight.
Kudos to Beyonce for handling it the way she did, giving Taylor her moment!
I am not live blogging the MTV Awards, but if you need updates because you can’t watch, join me on twitter. I will however, provide you with some pictures through out the night; like this one of Kanye West and wifey, Amerber Rose holding a Hennessey bottle.
If you you’re not watching the VMAs then you have to see this video of Kanye stealing the mic from Taylor Swift to throw another tantrum. SMH!
