The big news that I can't get away from is Kanye's outburst at the MTV VMAs last night. When Taylor Swift won the moonman for Best Female Video, Kanye burst onstage to steal her moment and declare that fellow nominee Beyonce had the best video of the decade. Kanye proved once again that he is a rude, unclassy, asshole. Taylor was visibly upset but I think she handled it well. Later in the show when Beyonce won video of the year, she invited Taylor back onstage to have 'her moment'. This specific episode made me realize how prevalent pop culture and media outlets are in people's lives. I was not even watching the VMAs when this happened, but about 10 of my friends had something to say about it as their Facebook status. Since then, the story has been everywhere. Kanye apologized for his behavior to Taylor and his fans on his blog. Other celebrities like Pink, Kelly Clarkson, and Kellie Pickler have used Twitter and other media outlets to show love for Taylor and rant about Kanye. Word travles faster than ever thanks to blogs, Twitter, Facebook, and other social networking/media sites.
