I was way too involved in a Twin Peaks marathon yesterday evening to even consider watching the 2011 VMAs, but curiosity got the best of me this morning after finding out Beyoncé is pregnant. Trash usually trumps triumph at any MTV event, and the red carpet stayed true to this formula at last night’s show. There were some highs*, and many lows, and we’re here to talk about them all in this VMA edition of Red Carpet Report Card.
The Internets are all atwitter and Twitter is all abuzz over breaking news that the five-star general in the army of modern day divas, Beyoncé, is pregnant.
Nicola Formichetti was busy in 2010 keeping Gaga in meat gowns and machine gun bustiers. Along the way he even managed to style a few editorial spreads and ad campaigns. No doubt he was one of the driving creative forces for the past 12 months, but what were his favorite moments?
Here’s a vid of the VMA ‘oops’ that no one cared about. Lil Mama jumped onstage at the end of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ performance at the end of the VMAs last night, it’s kindof funny because Jay-Z tries to push her out of the way a little bit..no one has really commented on this issue as much as the Kanye one, but there is a Twitter topic going around about it (#lilmamais). What do you think, desperate for attention? Or ‘really sorry?’
In case you live under a rock and haven’t heard about Kanye West turning super-douche and interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the VMAs last night, here’s the video:
And here’s Kanye’s hilarious, poorly-written apology that has apparently been taken down already:
Although most of the fashion peeps we love have yet to respond (maybe they were just too busy at Fashion Week parties, or sleeping up for the next day), as have Taylor and Beyonce, here are some responses from music, entertainment, and fashion people that have tweeted what they thought of this escapade:
I think I’ve given this asshole enough press for the rest of his life..but this was just too funny. A lesson to all: Don’t drink at events if you’re the kind of person that already makes an ass out of yourself.
If Kanye wrote for Fashion Indie, he’d have one hell of a ‘Last Night’s Party’: Last night I drank a bottle of Hennessy, went on stage on live television and interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech to tell the world that I think Beyonce makes good videos..and show off my etched hair, what do you guys think? Good thing Beyonce had my back in this one, she totally redeemed it for me after everyone was booing me by letting Taylor finish the speech..what can I say, I knew Beyonce was going to win Video Of The Year..they should’ve been cheering at me for being psychic!
What do you guys thing..is Kanye West just an idiot, or was this a publicity stunt?
Kelly Clarkson had a thing or two to say of Kanye West’s episode at the MTV VMAs last night. She wrote on her blog:
Dear Kanye,
What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough??… I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty sh*tty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you…which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??… On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!
Taylor Swift, you outsell him ….that’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!
