If you didn’t see it Kanye West seriously dissed Taylor Swift at the VMA awards, yet some think it was just a ploy to get people to watch Jay Leno’s new show. Here is Taylor’s and some other celebrity responses:

Taylor says:

“Well, I was standing on stage because I was really excited because I had just won the award. And then I was really excited because Kanye West was on stage. And then I wasn’t so excited anymore after that.” On the celeb and fan support: “I’ve been getting so many text messages and everybody’s been really nice. So I’ve had a really, really fun night. It’s been interesting definitely. It’s definitely been an interesting night.” On Kanye: “I don’t know him, and I’ve never met him, so… I don’t want to start anything because I had a great night tonight.”

Celebs Tweet their support for Taylor and diss Kanye:

Pink: Kanye west is the biggest piece of shit on earth. Quote me.

Spencer Pratt: Let’s be very clear King Spencer would never do anything like what Kayne just did to a sweet soul like Taylor!

heidimontag: congrats @taylorswift13 on your vma!!! you deserve it more than anyone!! I saw the devil in action when kanye west stole your mic! u rock!!!

adamlambert: Kanye needs to chill. He freaks out every year. It ain’t that deep man.

JoelMadden: WOW Taylor Swift’s first VMA and she didn’t even get to ENJOY it. Kanye You were just a bully on that one man.

therealpickler:Tator Tot, you handled yourself with Grace. Kanye, go grow some f-ing balls bitch! don’t mess w/my lil sis!!

Kelly Clarkson says:

Dear Kanye,

What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like shit. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty shitty 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??

I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her…so why can’t you be?? I’m not even mad at you for being an asshole…I just pity you because you’re a sad human being.

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!

Actor Patrick Swayze died yesterday of pancreatic cancer.

Swayze, 57, died “peacefully” with his family at his side, Swayze’s publicist, Annett Wolf, said in a statement published by the Associated Press.

Although Swayze’s memorable movie roles in Dirty Dancing and Ghost ingratiated him into the hearts and minds of legions of fans, he will also be remembered for the awareness he helped raise about pancreatic cancer — a rare, but stealthy disease.

Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March 2008. He is survived by his wife, actress/dancer Lisa Niemi.

Patrick Wayne Swayze was born on August 18, 1952, in Houston, Texas. His father was an engineering draftsman; his mother was a ballet dancer and later the director of the Houston Ballet Dance Company.
Swayze’s career diminished in the late ’90s. He broke both legs in 1997 while making a film, “Letters From a Killer,” and went into rehab to overcome an admitted drinking problem.

Swayze’s more recent films included a TV version of “King Solomon’s Mines” and 2007’s “Christmas in Wonderland.”
Though he still had the power to make women’s hearts flutter — 22-year-old Scarlett Johansson, upon receiving Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Award in February 2007, said her dream date was “probably Patrick Swayze, my dream come true” — Swayze wasn’t too impressed with himself.
“Good-looking people turn me off,” he once said. “Myself included.”

Swayze is survived by his wife, Lisa, of over 30 years and his mother, Patsy.

Angelina Jolie was overcome with emotion during a trip to a refugee settlement in Africa on Saturday (12Sep09).

The Hollywood actress, a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, spent a day at the Dadaab Refugee camp on the Kenyan border to see the conditions that 285,000 starving Somali refugees live in.

The camp, built to house just 90,000, was set up to aid people who have escaped the terror of their own country and fled into Kenya.

Jolie, who hopes to bring the plight of the Somali people to the public’s attention, met a number of families at the camp – and was appalled at the way they had to live.

Michael Jordan has been inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in a ceremony in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Jordan, 46, considered by many to be the game’s greatest player, led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA titles before finishing with the Washington Wizards.

Congratulations Michael.

Nirvana’s remaining members are not happy about Kurt Cobain’s character being featured in the new Guitar Hero game the AP reports.

Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl said in a joint statement Thursday that they were “dismayed and very disappointed” that an avatar of the late Nirvana frontman could be used to play songs by other artists.

“While we were aware of Kurt’s image being used with two Nirvana songs, we didn’t know players have the ability to unlock the character,” they said. “This feature allows the character to be used with any kind of song the player wants. We urge Activision to do the right thing in ‘re-locking’ Kurt’s character so that this won’t continue in the future.”

Also, Courtney Love, Cobain’s widow, had been lashing out on Twitter this week about her late husband’s inclusion in the game, calling it vile and claiming she would sue Activision, the game’s publisher.

It’s up to the D.A. to sort out the whole mess between Tila Tequila and Shawn Merriman.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department has handed off its evidence in the he-said, she-said case between the 27-year-old Shot at Love babe and the 25-year-old star NFL linebacker, and now it’s up to prosecutors to determine whether to press charges.

If you ask me, there’s clearly no evidence of any wrongdoing by Merriman so stop wasting people’s time Tila!

Megan Fox will bare a considerable amount of skin in her upcoming film, “Jennifer’s Body,” but audiences won’t see the 23-year-old actress anywhere close to fully naked and, as she told MTV recently, the public will never, ever have the chance to click onto a Megan Fox sex tape on the Web.

“Ugh, never!” said the actress. “That’s the last thing I want to see — what I look like having sex. It would take one shot of me not looking good and I would not be able to have sex ever again, because I would always just see myself looking like a hippo having sex.”

A glove Michael Jackson tossed to an Australian fan more than a decade ago sold at auction Sunday for $48,400, almost twice the estimated selling price.

Warwick Stone, a buyer for the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, beat out five other bidders for the late King of Pop’s glove, said Charlotte Stanes, spokeswoman for the Melbourne auction house Bonhams and Goodman.

“We are very happy with the result,” Stanes said. “It’s the first glove we know about in Australia.”

Bonhams and Goodman said it was the first auction of a Michael Jackson glove since his death on June 25 this year at age 50.

Jackson visited Australia in 1996 as part of his HIStory world tour. While in Sydney, he attended the Australian premiere for the film “Ghosts,” in which he had a starring role. At the end of the screening, he tossed the glove at audience member Bill Hibble, who has since died, said national head of collectables Giles Moon.
