Kanye West, Please Shut-Up!!!

The forever outspoken Kanye West has cancelled all of his appearances on the MTV Network. What a conceited, arrogant, angry person he is! You are the one that always has to have the center of attention and that's just what MTV gave you, an over the top suite party at the Palms, so you can perform damn near half your album and you want to complain that everyone else big got the main stage! You were " touching the sky" on the glass balcony of the most awesome hotel in Vegas. I think that was better than performing on stage! This guy really gets under my skin, he's always complaining and putting someone else that is equally talented down! His other complaint was Pamela Anderson's remarks during her intro. Now, if the networks assured you that no disrespect towards your relationship will happen, did you really think that was going to stop Pam from putting you on blast. See, next time be a little more careful when choosing the women in your videos. Did you use her for publicity to the masses or were you really a fan? The Britney exploitation claim, I'm not buying it. She wanted the comeback and MTV has always been her biggest supporter, so why not help a friend in need. Spears should have rehearsed more on her lip-syncing and dance routine, the network had nothing to do with that. What the hell happened to the stunt by Criss Angel? Kanye get over yourself and Brit become a stay at home mom!

MTV Video Music Awards Review

OMG!!! The MTV Video Music Awards were horrible. There were a few highlights that were memorable, but otherwise not so much. Lets start with the bad shall we, Britney looked like a hooker that just had a baby and left it at the hospital to half-ass perform and lip-sync her way to an attempted comeback!!! I know it's a little harsh, but she's lost it and I mean completely. The over hyped battle between 50 Cent and Kanye West was on display all night with these 2 min performances of almost every single from their albums. I understand that the show was in Vegas, but seriously MTV just over did it! Chris Brown once again attempted his take on Mr. Jackson and he really could have kept it, maybe if his faulty performance at the World Music Awards a couple of years ago weren't so bad, I might give him some props. He did like 3 songs and then Rihanna came out as if the two were going to do the remix of "Umbrella", how wrong was I. Oh yea, the 30 sec performances in the little hotel parties given by the stars were horrendous!
Now for the good! Linkin Park, Alicia Keys, and Justin Timberlake really had strong performances. Keys has really put on some extra weight, her thighs were looking a little thick, but for the most part, the performance was original and classic. Linkin Park is my favorite rock group, so I knew that an exceptional performance was in the making and they didn't disappoint! J.T. rocked the house with his best bud Timbaland was pretty fly. The Southern Hospitality party given by Tim and J.T. was cool and I have to admit the " She Wants It" performance by 50, J.T. and Tim was well done. T.I. was the bomb as usual, he remains one of the original rappers. I can't wait to see his atcing skills in American Gangster, which most reviews have been good! Also, congratulations go out to Justin, he won an Emmy for his performance of " D*** In a Box" on SNL.
Well that's about it, if I think of anything else during the day, I will update as usual.
In the words of Justin Timberlake, " MTV, play some more damn videos and stop the Simpson reality stuff!" I totally agree Justin, the network has become a reality drama driven fiasco! Did you see the preview for the Tila Tequila reality show that will be premiering sometime this month? She will choose at the end of the show if she wants to be with a girl or guy, how original! LOL

Braxton Broke in Vegas?

Now this is a hot mess!! Toni Braxton and Liberty Entertainment Inc. failed to pay Anthony Franco, the designer who created the whole wardrobe for her Vegas show. Toni and Liberty paid Franco 20,000 dollars, but stopped payment on the remaining 15,000 dollars owed to him. I'm so disappointed in Toni, you would think with all the financial problems she had in the 90's, she would handle her business in 2007. Furthermore, I would have made sure that the cost of my wardrobe was in my contract before I even performed one number. Now you like a broke 2 album wonder!
