Kanye West
Kanye Outrage: "It's like you stepped on a kitten"
First, check out the whole gallery of MemeGenerator responses to Kanye's night of infamy. It's hilarious.
Second, there's a whole list of celebrity twittering recorded at OhNoTheyDidn't after Kanye West's dickish move against Taylor Swift.
To the 9 of you who didn't watch or hear about last night's Video Music Awards, this is what went down: Taylor Swift won the Best Female Video category for "You Belong With Me"; beating Beyoncé’s "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)". To which Kanye burst onto the stage in the middle of Taylor's acceptance speech to proclaim the almost parodical output by Beyonce was "the best video of the decade".
Yeah. He was that big of a dick.
I think Pink was one of the first one's to twitter, Kanye west is the biggest piece of shit on earth. Quote me. But Katy Perry put it best when she said, FUCK U KANYE. IT'S LIKE U STEPPED 0N A KITTEN.
And then there's Kelly Clarkson's response. From ohnotheydidnt: Kanye "Apology":

Isn't it cute Kanye West found his blonde dyke?
If Kanye wanted to get buzz out of his relationship with Amber Rose, boy is he getting it. After all, it was him who wrote in Stronger:
So we gon' do everything that Kan like,
Heard they do anything for a Klondike,
Well, I'd do anything for a blonde dyke.
And she'll do anything for the limelight,
And we'll do anything when the time's right,
Uh, baby, you're makin' it
Harder, better, faster, stronger
I wonder if they eat Klondikes.

Ok, I pictured how they may be eating them and now I need some mental bleach.
The curse of politainment
I have been inundated with these annoying, anonymous chain e-mails stating that Whitefolk are trying to sabotage Jamie Foxx's upcoming music show because he refused to put token white performers on the roster. And to foil the success of his show due to his insolent Black pride, they've purposely put him up against 'American Idol'. Is this true? Was Foxx acting with conviction or with racial malice? And regardless, so what? After all, of all the things to clog up my inbox with, why moral outrage regarding a televised music show, of the kind that Blackfolk have been disproportionately visible for years? Why is this what people have chosen to be up in arms about and leveraging the Internet to advocate for versus, say, Darfur, Haiti, Katrina, political corruption, corporate greed, the fight for a living wage, etc., etc.?
Regardless of where you come down on any of these issues, it is quite revealing how and why people respond to media-amplified and -skewed issues -- particularly when laced with race.
Do I think folks are kinda missing the point when they choose to carelessly and thoughtlessly forward unsubstantiated information about something as benign as a televised music show? Absolutely.
Fourfour'ed and loving it
La negra here likes her gossip and pop culture blogs. After a day of being high on mothering, politics and web development I have to wind down on a more earthy note. My nightly treats include my first blog love, The Corsair (exaggerated cough suggesting feigned detachment), my new BFF Perez Hilton, Ms Thing Miu Von Furstenberg and my new loves, D Listed, Crunk and Disorderly, Concrete Loop. Then there's FourFour.
Rich Juzwiak has become my go-to guy for the hysterically funny blow-by-blow recaps he turns out every week for America's Top Model, Project Runway and the "because the parody writes itself" of Being Bobby Brown. Rich has turned TV digesting into a comedic tour de force.
He also has become one of my music sources. It's his writing of pop music, sometimes supplying his own mashups and mixes that makes this man shine as a pop culture critic.
It's no wonder I have turned into Steve Jobs wet dream.
