The Industry is really clowning Kanye now


White Stripes frontman commandeered the microphone at the Toronto Film Festival Friday night during an acceptance speech by his concert documentarian saying "Imma let you finish—but Orson Welles made the greatest movie of all time!"

Both American Idol Host Ryan Seacrest and Survivor Host Jeff Probst were nominated for outstanding reality show host (the words "outstanding" and "reality" should not be uttered together) at the Emmys on Sunday. Probst threatened, "If Ryan wins, I’m pulling a Kanye.”

Christina Applegate, Kelly Bundy on Married With Children, mused at the Emmys, "I just have to wonder: Who's gonna pull a Kanye?"

And Emmy host Neil Patrick Harris promised, "I will make my speech as brief as possible in the hope that it won't be interrupted by a congressman or a rapper."

Plaxico was all tears today

Ex-New York Giant Plaxico Burress was all tears today as he told his family goodbye in the courtroom. Plaxico was sentenced to 2 years in prison for accidentally shooting himself in the thigh in a nightclub. Plaxico had been facing two charges of weapons possession and reckless endangerment for a minimum of 3 1/2 years behind bars. He plead out to the lesser charge and agreed to do two years in prison plus two years of probation. The footballer who caught the winning touchdown in the final minute of the 2008 Superbowl will likely only do 20 months with time off for good behavior.

Ne-Yo says he's all man--and big boys do cry

Ne-Yo took to his Global Grind blog to explain his meltdown in Manchester on Saturday night.

I'm currently on tour in the UK. This tour began right after a 4 month stint in
Prague shooting a world war 2 movie. We're in a different city in a different
part of the UK every night, moving non stop. Since my first album, roughly 5
years ago, I've taken 1 vacation, and even that was about 2 years ago.Basically,
I have an issue with not knowing when to say enough is enough, so last night in
Manchester, my body said it for me.I got on stage energized and ready to go,
even tho for the last 5 days I've been dealing with a sinus infection. I paid it
no real mind, and kept on going, like I always do. My voice couldn't take it.
From the first song I knew something was wrong. I shoulda stopped there, but I
come from a school where no matter what, the show must go on. It wasn't until
about 4 songs in that I came to the painful realization that my voice was done,
literally nothing left, and that I would have to stop the show.Now let me
explain something to you:When I say this music, that stage, my fans, THIS is my
life, I'm not saying it cause it sounds good in a sound bite. THIS IS MY LIFE!!
Not much else matters to me, honestly.My music, my family and the people that
appreciate my music.....the fans. THAT'S ABOUT IT!!I've never had to stop a
show, never dreamed I'd ever have to. So when I had to walk out on that stage
and tell 12,000 of the people responsible for making me who I am that I could
not perform for them, it literally broke my heart.I cried harder than I have in
a very long time with no shame whatsoever.To anyone out there that would like to
question my manhood because of this I'll say this to you:If the one thing you
cared about more than anything else in the world was threatened or even taken
from you, if you knew that the people you cared for the most you had to
disappoint and it was your fault... and this didn't spark some kind of emotional
outbreak within you...then with no shame I'll say you are truly a stronger man
than I.To the people of Manchester, know that I love you and I thank you for
being so understanding and supportive. And I promise you that you will receive
the show deserved.Thanks to the fans for the love and concern.And to the
bloggers....go to hell.Sincerely, Ne*Yo!!

Let me just say I LOVE his closing shot at bloggers. That's the way to get good press over this! For those who lack the patience to read his long winded post, here is the condensed version: "I was tired. I had a fight with my boo that day. I wanted my mommy. I sounded like shit on stage and I knew it so, I bawled like a baby. Fuck you! Buy my album!"

Ne-Yo has PMS



Ne-Yo recently gave a concert in which he announced he was not feeling well. Several songs in he began crying then walked off the stage. He came back after the band played another song, explained that he couldn't sing that song, but that he would return. He never did.
