It all started Sunday at the MVAs. Taylor Swift was accepting her award when Kanye took the mic from her and said that Beyonce should have won – not Taylor Swift. So he was booed, lots of upset (though Taylor Swift seemed to handle it pretty well; well I’m not sure she really knew what had happened but she never did finish her acceptance).
Apparently Kanye was asked to leave the venue and may have even been escorted out.
Flash forward to tonight -- Monday. Flipping channels, catch Jay Leno and his “new” show (which seems to the same as his old one – same bits, same Kevin the music guy, same Leno – just on earlier).
So sounds like Kanye was already scheduled to appear with Jay-Z and Rihanna. Kanye decides after getting a lot of flack all day that this is a good time to talk about what happened at the MVAs (before performing with the others). He seems genuinely upset and contrite. Had just had a really bad day. Takes responsibility for his actions (yes!) and is really upset that he hurt someone. Realized he had made a big mistake when he handed Taylor Swift the mic, but she didn’t finish her speech.
That’s when Jay hits him with a really hard one, “I met your mother a few years ago. How do you think she would react to what happened?” Wow. Kanye can’t speak, covers his face, are those tears? Long pause, at least for on tv. Finally answers, something about touring and performing and working all the time, not time to heal and reflect. So he is going to take some time off to sort himself out and try to be a better role model.
Then he grabs his shades and jacket and performs with Jay Z and Rihanna.

Or was the whole thing a performance?
I thought what he did was not acceptable, However Beyounce was graciouse enough to be the bigger person by Alowing the Taylor Swift to have her moment. I don't Know but Mr.Kanye seem's to be crying out for help? Could it be that he is still morning.
