Taylor Swift SNL Promo Spot Makes Fun Of "VMA Incident"
This is pretty funny! Taylor Swift & Bill Hader made a short promo for SNL, which Taylor is hosting this weekend. Bill does a little ribbing about Kanye West and Beyonce. I think it'd be HILARIOUS if they could get Kanye and Taylor to do something together in the opening of the show. I think it'd go a long way to just laughing off the incident and being done with it.
Will you tune in to see Taylor hosting SNL? I'm off to set my DVR right now...
Lady GaGa's New Tour Is Inspired By Monsters
Lady GaGa isn't letting the dissolution of her Fame Kills tour with Kanye West hold her back. She's going forward with her own tour: Monster's Ball.
"Imagine if you could take the sets of an opera, which are very grand and very beautiful, and put them through a pop-electro lens. The design of the show is very, very forward, very, very innovative.
"The theme of monsters is certainly going to be an influence, as well as the theme of evolution and change. It’s going to be a truly artistic experience that is going to take the form of the greatest post-apocalyptic house party that you've ever been to."
She says there are no hard feelings between Kanye and herself about deciding not to tour together.
"It just wasn't the right timing," she continues. "I don't want to embellish on it too much, because I want to respect Kanye’s privacy. But we just had our own reasons. We're real friends, real friends can make decisions like that… It just wasn't the right time. But who's to say what will happen in the future?"
The tour reportedly will kick off November 27 in Montreal and wrap up on January 21 in New York City. Are you interested in going?

Did Kanye's Antics Kill Lady Gaga's U.S. Tour?
This afternoon an announcement was made by Live Nation that Lady Gaga & Kanye West's "Fame Kills" tour was cancelled! The concerts were set to kick off on November 10th.
Although no reason was formally given for the sudden cancellation, rumors were spinning that Kanye's "incident" at the MTV VMA's may have something to do with it. Refunds are being given to ticket holders.
It's really a shame because I'm sure Lady Gaga & Kanye had both put a lot of hard work into preparing for the shows. I would be devastated!
She had described a bit of the show to radio stations in Las Vegas & San Diego:
"The stage is called a traverse," she said. "It's something that we designed together. Instead of being on just one end of the arena, the stage traverses the entire arena. It's not really in-the-round; it's more of a runway. ... [It extends] from one end to the other so the audience can see everywhere from 360, but it's like a rectangular runway shape.
"We're on each end of the stage, and I want to get to where Kanye is, which is 'the fame,' " she continued. "He wants to get where I am, which is home and humble beginnings. For the whole show, we are battling each other [for their positions]. It's been a really incredible creative experience.
Did you have tickets for any of the tour dates?

Quote Of The Day: Jay Z On Kanye West
"He's just a super-passionate person. Of course it was rude because it was her (Taylor Swift's) moment but that's the way he really felt. I think it was rude but the way they're treating him... He's on the cover of every paper. He didn't kill anybody. No one got harmed."

Taylor Swift Says Kanye West Hasn't Reached Out To Her
So much for all the apologies. Taylor Swift told the ladies on 'The View' that Kanye West has not contacted her personally at all since the VMA debacle.
"He has not personally reached out or anything," she said, "but if he wanted to say hi..."
"I'm not going to say that I wasn't rattled by it," said Swift on The View, "but I had to perform live five minutes later so I had get myself back to the place where I could perform."
Taylor also said she was touched at all the people who supported her.
"I just never imagined that there were that many people out there looking out for me, so it was really wonderful to see that people were out there defending me so I didn't have to."
And as if things couldn't get worse for Kanye, despite his claim that he may take some time off, the tour dates for Kanye's tour with Lady GaGa were announced today. Probably not the best time.
You have to hand it to Kanye: he's managed to be the most talked about person at the VMAs without even winning an award! Do you think all this publicity is going to help him, hurt him, or not change anything in the end?

Kanye West's Full Apology On Jay Leno
Are we still talking about this? My goodness - the man has never gotten so much press for anything!
Last night, I told you that Kanye West was scheduled to appear on Jay Leno's nighttime talk show. In case you missed it, here it is. Kanye is really really sorry about what he did to Taylor Swift. I'm really really sorry I keep posting about it. However, I will say that I watched the video and I believe that the rapper is truly sincere. I think he realized he made a mistake and we are all human in the end.
Kanye promises to take some time off which he obviously needs.
Kanye West Issues Second Apology To Taylor Swift
I feel like Ben Stiller in "Meet the Parents" when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave... That was Taylor's moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry.
It's all about Kanye West and Taylor Swift STILL this late in the afternoon. More celebrities have come out showing their disgust for the rapper's actions last night and he is writing away on his blog trying to make things right.
Word is Jay Leno also booked him for tonight's show... will you tune in to see what he says?
The NY Post's entertainment blog has boycotted Kanye for a year and even sent out an official statement to the media letting us all know. Wonder if more outfits will follow suit?
