Janet Jackson and Madonna pay tribute to Michael Jackson at the 2009 MTV VMA Awards
Janet Jackson's tribute to her brother Michael was the highlight of the show.
Michael Jackson brought the house down with his performance at the MTV VMA's in 1995.

Kanye posted an apology on his website
Kanye posted an apology for his heckling during the VMA's:
"I'M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM," Kanye wrote on his site, AP reported. "I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD'VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED!"
Others aren't really buying his apology:
Pink tweeted about her annoyance with Kanye. "Kanye West is the biggest piece of sh-t on earth. Quote me," she wrote. "My heart goes out to Taylor Swift. She is a sweet and talented girl, and deserved her moment. She should know we all love her." She later said on the Today Show that the incident never would have happened if she had won because she had a cute Alexander McQueen purse with brass knuckles on it.
Now, I'm going to be honest here. I had heard Taylor Swift's name before but couldn't pick her out of a lineup before last night (and maybe still this morning). When I saw Kanye run up next to her on stage I thought it was part of the night's skits. After listening to what he had to say, I felt sorry for the girl. That was her first VMA and she is only 19. To her credit, Beyonce looked shocked and embarassed (though some are saying she and Kanye orchestrated the event). Maybe this was another Eminem-Sascha Baron Cohen type scam. If so, it was in poor taste just like so much of the awards show (Russell Brand's jokes, Lady Ga Ga's 'performance', etc.).
As far as Bey goes, it was just good PR for her to 'graciously' give up her award acceptance time to Taylor. If she hadn't, the backlash would have extended to her. Her PR team was just earning their keep. The same applies to her pre-show statement that Janet Jackson was one of her inspirations. This after her quote earlier this year: “I grew up upper class. Private school..My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons, but I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.” Um, yeah. It doesn't sound much like she idolized her. More like just swaggerjacked her style and kept it moving.
They say...
Janet Jackson cried all night at the MTV VMA Awards last night because Kanye's thoughtless antics on stage took the spotlight off her brother Michael's tribute. The whole night was supposed to be an evening in honor of Michael Jackson.
Show of Hands....
How many of you asked your white girlfriend Susan to go see "All About Steve" at the movies this weekend and she was REALLY surprised when the movie started and everybody talked from the previews all the way to the end of the film (and the only other white people there were the ushers), how many of you took the kids to see UP for the fourth time and told them-no you ain't seein that again you'll be alone in theatre number 8, how many of you ladies had to pay off a bribe of a case Corona's, a liter and a half of Jack Daniels, 4 pizzas, a bucket of hot wangs, order NFL Ticket, and take the kids to the movies AGAIN so your man and his boys so the could watch the game on Sunday at your crib because he reluctantly took you to the movies on Saturday night, how many of you know a fine ass sista' named Frankie who goes to Spelman who swears she was an extra in this flick....
What I'm tryin' to say is Taylor Perry's, 'I Can Do Bad All By Myself' topped the boxoffice this weekend with a $24 million take. Five of the eight films of Mr. Perry's which usually open when there are slim or no new pickins at theatres have opened at number one.
Bitch, Get off the Stage....(not you Taylor)
'Ye showed his ass and stormed the stage just after the first VMA 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. Brit crackpot Russell Brand even thought that display was messed up.
Later Beyonce won video of the year for 'Single Ladies' invited Swift back onstage to take the spotlight and have her moment that was stolen by West. Say what you want, that's class...
Mel B on Welfare
Only last month Mel B was enjoying a shopping trip in New York, staying in a top class hotel and sampling all the trappings of fame.
This week she's been in Yorkshire attempting to see how far she can stretch £120 (about $200 USD) between a family of six for seven days. The former Spice Girl has joined other famous (British stars you probably never heard of) faces in a reality show designed to see how they'd fare on welfare.
She was left to care for Elaine Henry's five children while she was put up in a hotel. And it didn't take long before Mel, formerly known as Scary Spice, was making some changes. It's thought she splashed most of her cash on painting and decorating (I guess five kids don't eat) the rundown row house, which was constantly monitored by the show's producers and the police.
Her presence has certainly been felt in the neighbourhood. One resident said, 'We've seen more police cars this week than in the whole year.'
(I hope they copy this show here.)
Takers...
This is a poster from the movie Takers which debuts February 19, 2010 and stars Chris Breezy, Idris, T.I., Michael Ealy, Paul Walker and Matt Dillon.
I don't have a clue what it's about but it should have been called "Talkin' Out the Side 'yo Neck" because nobody's head sits on they neck right. Perhaps the possibility that two of the stars mentioned could be in the pen and miss the red carpet explains why they did what they had to do to the poster...

Paula Abdul hasn't been drinking sour grapes--just regular ones we suppose
Wishes Ellen DeGeneres luck in her new “American Idol” role (but you know she don't mean that shit).The former judge on the Fox singing competition said in a statement Thursday she thinks DeGeneres “is wildly funny and talented in her own right” and wished her and the show “only the best of luck and she'll still come back for a mill if they'd have her.”
We hear Payless needs a new spokesperson.
"Somebody's Gonna Get a Hurt Real Bad...Somebody."
Comedian Russell Peters take on beating your children....
