I'm not sure what it is about the last name Kardashian but Khloe and Kim seem to have all the luck snagging the hottest, chocolate NFL and NBA players in the game.
It only took Khloe less than a month to convince NBA player, Lamar Odom to marry her!!!! What is going on? Do I have to change my last name to Kardashian to snag one of these men or am I just not "light" enough? Sorry had to say it. I wouldn't be me if I didn't.
Why Lamar Why??????

Kanye- The "asshole", the "piece of s**t", the n****r??
Wow! Since the VMA's, rapper and super producer Kanye West hasn't caught a break. He began with his apologies immediately after being dismissed from the show on his blog, and he hasn't stopped apologizing since. His publicity team is certainly under a lot of pressure right now to get this turned around in his favor. It wasnt until after Taylor Swift appeared on The View and said that she hasnt gotten a direct apology from West, that he called her and personally apologized.
Though West is known for his tantrums and random outbursts, it doesn't look like this particular outburst from West will die down anytime soon. When he pulled a similar stunt in 2006 at the MTV Europe Awards after he interrupted a group, Justice and Simian after losing in the category for Best Video, the buzz quick dissolved. During his tirade he gave a list of reasons as to why he should have won and said that by him not winning, the awards show loses its credibility. A couple of years prior to that he complained at the American Music Awards backstage for being robbed of The Best New Artist award. He made bitter comments about the winner, Gretchen Wilson, by calling her music "bullsh*t". He later apologized to the singer and the whole thing eventually blew off.
But with Taylor Swift being one of America's sweeththearts right now, and being so young, the public may not be as willing to accept another apology from West. And when the President of The United States calls you an asshole for your actions....well lets just say things aren't looking to good for Ye right now. Pink referred to him as a "piece of sh*t" on her Twitter page.

And to top it all off, there was a mysterious Twitter page called "Kanye_Nigger" that stirred up a little Twitter Controversy. The profile pic for this page had a picture of a KFC bucket of fried chicken implying the stereotype that all African Americans eat fried chicken. The argument on the page was that there isn't a color to ignorance and what Kanye did was "niggerish." Well this might be true considering the word does mean ignorant person. But nevertheless its still somewhat of a sensitive issue. Diddy complained to Twitter according to his page and shortly the page was removed.
Nevertheless, even after all of this, if Kanye continues to produce excellent music and we keep supporting him, what's the point of all the rucus? Kanye was just being Kanye.....He's done it before and he'll probably do it again. Controversy sells.
Take it from me- The Controversial Cutie :)

What I learned (and confirmed) after watching the VMA's
The VMA's were....interesting. The Michael Jackson tribute was impressive...I'm not gonna compare it to the BET Awards tribute because MTV had more time to prepare. I enjoyed it though, especially the performance with Janet. She looked great and it was good to see her up on stage again.
Nevertheless, I learned a lot about artists in the music world and also confirmed a lot of what I already knew. Such as:
1. We already knew Kanye West was an arrogant, spoiled brat who thinks he's invincible. He pouts when he loses at award ceremonies and says what he wants about the president of the United States during a live simulcast. And though it may be true that "George Bush doesn't care about Black people" his timing was all wrong. But we still buy his music so perhaps he has a right to feel "untouchable." But tonight drew the line for me and confirmed him to be an absolute asshole. Sure many of us may have felt that Taylor Swift did not deserve the Best Female Video award, the fact is that she won. Period. Kanye had no right to get his butt up there and state his opinion. Beyonce was even embarrassed and later allowed the young country star to come up and give her acceptance speech after she won the Video of the Year award for "Single Ladies". Kanye needs to be stopped. As a matter of fact, he was booed everytime his video was nominated for an award. But he needs to be brought down a tad. Its cool to be confident in your work and even a little cocky maybe. But to be a downright asshole is whole 'nother issue.
It pissed me off to see some of my twitter friends supporting his ignorant behavior. Whether you agree with what he said or not, you don't rob someone of their moment. Eminem made sure to bring some big intimidating guy up there with him to accept his award for best male hip hop video just in case Kanye tried to jump stupid again! LOL
Moving on...............
2. What in the hell is wrong with Lady Gaga?? I mean really? Its one thing to be different and innovative but she was just plain scary! Throughout the night, the "pokerface" singer had on some strange out of this world outfit. From the beginning of the night in some feathered neck brace type thing that looked mad uncomfortable to red laced bank robber thingy over her face to some weirdo eskimo number. I confirmed this evening that the girl is just strange. She makes great music but she scares me. But the point of the night that pissed me off with Lady Gaga was when she thanked The Gays and God right behind each other in her acceptance speech. Now this may be a touchy issue for some but this is my blog so I say what I want....You don't do that!!! That is straight up blasphemy in my opinion. Lady Gaga get off the drugs boo....They'll kill you.
Also...
3.My girl Pink: I was impressed with her flying acrobatics while still singing without running out of breath. That was impressive. Nevertheless, my twitterbugs thought her performance to be a little to Barnum and Bailey Ringling Brotherish. Hey maybe she did want to be in the circus at one time so she fulfilled her dream tonight on the VMA stage. More power to her! Love ya Pink! So we learned that Pink wanted to be a circus performer.
I also learned that....
4. You can't trust that the top designers always make one of a kind dresses for their clients. Pink and Shakira had on the same dress, the same night at the same event!!!! Wow! Never seen that before.
And my favorite moment of the night....
5. The Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performance!!!! Loved it! Love the song "Empire State of Mind" and Love the Blueprint3!!!! Alicia looked and sounded amazing and Hova killed it!!! His wifey looked to really be enjoying herself in the audience too. HOWEVER, what in the hell did Lil Mama think she was doing getting up on stage at the end of the night? It just didnt fit. Sure I get it, she's from New York. But so is Lil Kim, 50 cent, Dougie Fresh, Foxy Brown, Mos Def....well you get my drift. There was no reason for her to get her butt on stage. Where is security when you need them? You would think it would be a little tighter with all these celebrities hanging around the building. First Kanye now Lil Mama!!! This has got to stop! So we also learned that MTV needs to tighten up on the security.

T-Pain's Jay-Z Rant: Just joking, publicity stunt owas he really angry?
O.K., I like T-Pain. I thinks he's been really innovative with his music and he can, without a doubt be credited for bringing the "computer love" sound back to the mainstream: Also known as autotune. Everyone has jumped on the bandwagon from Kanye West to Snoop Dogg. Even real singers who don't need to be auto tuned like Mariah Carey and Jamie Foxx have given in to the auto tune trend.
But apparently my boy Jay-Z is fed up with it. He feels that it has diluted hip-hop and is sick of everyone following the trend. His first single off of Blueprint 3, Death of Autotune condemns the latest fad. Jigga references T-Pain in the hit by saying: "You rappers singin' too much, get back to rap you t-painin' too much." No diss right. All he's saying is for rappers to get back to rap and stop biting T-Pain's style. At least that's how I interpreted the line. Jigga has even said in interviews that he has respect for T-Pain, Kanye and Lil Wayne for what they do and the song was not in reference to them.
Now I'm not gonna lie that did throw me off a bit. Kanye and Wayne are the two rappers out there that have completely over used the auto tune machine. But I digress....
T-Pain's "F Jay-Z Rant" at an event at Rehab in Las Vegas Labor Day weekend was completely a shocker. So much of a shocker that I thought maybe he was just joking. Rapper Fabolous wasn't too happy with the rant and expressed it via his Twitter page by saying "Not feelin the Tpain JayZ dissing....Brooklyn!"
From there the entire day on Twitter yesterday just turned into a day of T-pain dissing with a trending topic entitled #tpainbetter....Fabolous became enraged when a T-pain imposter said F him...He then went in on Pain HARD!!! It was a little too late to apologize once he found out it wasnt really the artist...
Just a bunch a mess if you ask me. I sure would like to think T-Pain was joking though.....We'll see what both artists say to the press later. You have to know this isn't over. LOL
