Booze-soaked speeches are the best kind Sep 15, 2009 at 02:35
Yeah yeah, we’ve all seen the Kanye West VMAs clip by now. We all agree it was total dick move. But gate-crashing an acceptance speech and acting like a jerk isn’t exclusive to MR ALL CAPS GAY FISH!!!!!!! Get a bunch of entertainment industry types in a room together, ply them full of booze for long enough and things are bound to get interesting when they get their hands on a microphone and captive audience.

Whether it’s ODB doing it for the children, Jarvis Cocker upstaging Michael Jackson or a "tired and emotional" Lily Allen up on stage with Elton John, random award show fails are usually the most interesting part of the evening. Especially when they involve prominent Australian journalists with a carton of tinnies in them.

Lily Allen and Elton John:


ODB – Wu Tang is for the Children:


Australian journalism at its finest:

Snoop Dogg vs the East Coast:


Amy Winehouse reflects on her performance:

Award shows are usually boring and disappointing for 95% of the attendees. At least these guys are doing their bit to keep the kids entertained.
True Respect
I didn't realise how horrible Amy Winehouse's speaking voice was until I watched that.

Poor Amy, bitch needs a hug.

Hug? Girlfriend needs a sandwich and some modern dentistry.

fucking get over it taylor swift, you are going to get shat on and rejected by everyone during your music career. in no way was kanye a jerk freedom of speech is in the american constitution, im just happy someone spoke their mind in this world of censored tv. why are people feeling sorry for the little bitch?
True Member
i ment to say little WHITE bitch
False Respect
Yeah, her being white ultimately alters the fact that a full-grown professional musician got on stage to bully a teenager. Innit?
False Respect
PS. I don't think anybody is opposing Kanye's (or anybody's) constitutional right to free speech. It's more that people think he's an arrogant bozo machine.
True Senior Member
Yahkoba, freedom of speech, means that you will not be PROSECUTED by the state for saying what you do. What you forget is, everyone else has the freedom of speech to tell Kanye West he is a complete fuckneck. To me this isn't even about freedom of speech, but rather the wish that people would be decent human beings, which Kanye in my opinion has shown time and time again that he is not.

kanye was right...the whole thing was a publicity stunt tho. MTV are so lame...he wasn't even sitting in the front row and then he all of a sudden appears on stage.
True Respect
You honestly think that was a stunt? As has been mentioned elsewhere, everyone involved in that shit deserves an Academy Award if it was staged.
False Respect
Shut your mouth, Mikolai! No extra award ceremonies for Kanye, please.
True Respect
Check your meds, Yahkoba. I think they expired in 1997. There's a difference between freedom of speech and showing a fellow artist (no matter who or how shit they are) professional respect. This may very well be the highlight of this young girl's career and Captain Look At Me can't sit still long enough to let her have her moment in the sun. Unfortunately, whenever Kanye chooses to speak his mind, he undoes any goodwill a couple of albums worth of gold gave him. Kanye = Kuntye as far as I'm concerned.
True Senior Member
I like his hair style. I wonder how much it took to ceate such a style AND how much it cost? I wonder?

I love the interview with Pink when she said he wouldn't try it with her on satge and he is nothing but a toolbag - she is such an Aussie now!

Apart from being a tad outspoken, I agree with Kombizz, im likin (as Freeak eloquently puts it) Kuntye 's hair.

"It was a piece of shit but you look fit though" LOL Amy!

award shows suck. celebrities suck. artists, actors, writers and musicians should be seen and not heard.
True Respect
Amen MIRO. I friggin' hate this celebrity obsessed world we live in. I mean we report on it because the majority of people in the world adore to know their every move. But personally I don't get it, they are so far down the ladder it isn't funny.
True Respect
Actually M to I Beyonce sucks at acting and gave it away in her not so surprised smile/bewilderment look.
False Respect
Musicians should be seen and NOT HEARD? Um...
False Respect
What a tool, seriously, I don't believe that guy. I would love to see how Pink reacted if he tried it on her lol I love Pink! Kelly Clarkson did a good blog post too http://iamkelly.wordpress.com/2009/09/14/kanye-west/ One thing to note, I didn't even know who Taylor Swift was until this point :S - Jake OXOXOX

haha u look fit though :P

Yep, unless you're doing what you're supposed to be doing it isn't my business. And it don't have mah interest, neither.

Puh-lease, this was obviously staged just like the Bruno-Eminem thing, Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction", etc, etc. MTV had a freaking graph up of how the topic was trending on twitter for god's sake. I'm just hoping Taylor Swift was in on it, cos otherwise that would be a pretty dick thing to do.
False Respect
Do you think he'll snatch the mic at Patrick Swayze's funeral and say that Michael Jacksons was one of the best funeral of all time?

Whether you're willing to admit it or not, were are all a little immersed in celebrity culture, we kind of dig a scandal, we even enjoy Kanye's brand of crazy arrogance... otherwise, why are there 33 comments on this story?

OMG Taylor's video 'You Belong To Me' was so beautiful, I totally teared up :O Now I hate that Kanye even more! Grr, I'm not playing his music for at least a week *hmph* - Jake OXOXOXO

Obviously because of trouble in the bedroom...

The 46 class were mostly used on the Blue Mountiains, Gosford, and Illawarra lines, typically for coal and freight haulage. They have also seen work on passenger services "under the wires". In the last few years, all of the class were withdrawn, at least partly due to replacement by more modern electric locos. Following recent scrappings, only 5 of the class are still around

Sensors have detected an abnormally high use of the number 47 in episodes of Star Trek. It is believed that a conspiracy is being coordinated by Joe Menosky, with substantial cooperation from Ronald D Moore, Brannon Braga and Jeri Taylor (who have all served as Star Trek Producers and/or Writers). The frequency of use of this obscure number is well outside normal parameters. Commonly masked in a technical exchange or read from a sensor panel, the number is often mentioned or displayed so quickly that it is missed by the casual observer. Recent information has come to light suggesting that conspiracy is actually manipulated by an obscure organisation called Pomona College. Further, Joe Menosky has had strong connections to this organisation! While it is known that the Pomonians hold to a belief that all numbers equal 47, their purpose for sequesting the number 47 in the Star Trek universe remains unknown. Starfleet operatives have identified Star Trek episodes contain this mysterious number, and these are documented in this file. Writers and Producers who are suspected of conspiring—where known—are also noted. As information comes to light, it will uploaded into this database. This file is by no means complete! Submissions of evidence of further conspiratorial activity and background intelligence are most welcome. Select Upload mode on this terminal to transmit your findings to Starfleet.

48 On September 5, Saskatchewan fisherman Sean Konrad caught a 48-pound, world-record rainbow trout. The fish came from Lake Diefenbaker, where trout genetically engineered to grow extra-big escaped from a fish farm nine years ago.

... and the President called Kanye a Jackass. Which is only weird in that Obama would dignify anything that douche does in public with any sort of response.
