First Look: Kanye West on The Cleveland Show
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, Gossip,
This time, Kanye West is in on the joke. (I think.)
The rapper who failed to understand a “fish sticks” joke on South Park last year, will now be contributing his own voice to an upcoming episode of The Cleveland Show.
In the broadcast to air on May 2, Kanye (a.k.a Kenny West) gets into a rap battle with Cleveland Brown Jr. Of course, there is a girl (Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson) at the center of all of this.

VIDEO: Taylor Lautner Kicks Off Kanye West’s Head
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
If you could turn back the clocks to September 13, what would you do over?
If you were Kanye West, you’d probably - probably - not bring your Hennessy to the Video Music Awards. If you were Taylor Swift, you’d probably get a firm grip on that microphone.
And if you were Taylor Lautner—well, you’d probably step up and defend your (future) lady’s honor. How exactly would you accomplish that? Just watch the demonstration above.

VIDEO: Taylor Swift Sings About Jonas, Lautner and West
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
Even though Taylor Swift is only 19 years old, the singer has already had enough drama in her life to fill up a number of country songs…or just one Saturday Night Live musical monologue.
In the tune above called “Monologue Song (La La La),” Swift addresses both Joe Jonas and Kanye West. She also fits in a shout out and air kiss for Taylor Lautner.
Speaking about werewolves, Taylor was later featured in a digital short dedicated to the Twilight series. You can watch “Firelight” after the jump.

Taylor Swift to Host Saturday Night Live
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
Too bad Kanye West doesn’t have a tour to distract him right now.
It’s just been announced that the rapper’s last victim, country star Taylor Swift, will be pulling double duty on Saturday Night Live next month. The gig - which had been planned since this summer - will come less than a year after the “Fifteen” singer served as the musical guest. (Her small cameo in a Broadway-themed skit can be seen after the jump.)
So what kind of sketches can we expect the 19-year-old to participate in? “I’ve been thinking about skit ideas for a long time,” Swift told the Associated Press. “There are definitely some hilarious things that have happened to me over the past couple of months that I think will be pretty substantial skits.”

Monday Ratings: Kanye and Jay are Gold Diggers
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Talk Shows, NBC, The CW, Ratings,
Curiosity about Jay Leno‘s new program was already high before this week—but then the VMAs happened, and the Peacock network lucked out.
The debut of NBC’s new 10:00 show was watched by a whopping 17.7 million viewers. That’s nearly double the audience that turned in for Leno’s “goodbye.” (That May finale drew in 11.9 million). The figure bests any number from an NBC series produced last season, including the premiere of Conan O’Brien’s show (9.2 million) in June.

VIDEO: Kanye West Gets Emotional on Jay Leno
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Talk Shows, NBC, Video,
UPDATE: New video added above includes a third apology from the rapper.
He was only supposed to perform with Rihanna and Jay-Z, but Kanye West found himself sitting on Jay Leno‘s new set tonight. This appearance comes just hours after Kanye posted a new apology for singer Taylor Swift.
Although NBC has only provided teaser video so far (we’re working to find another clip), you can see the rapper become emotional when the host talks about his outburst at the Video Music Awards. (Asking what West’s deceased mother would have said about the matter was apparently the million dollar question.)

MTV VIDEO: Beyonce Shares VMAs Spotlight with Taylor Swift
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, MTV, Gossip, Video,
UPDATE: You can read Taylor Swift’s response to West’s outburst here.
Hey Kanye—screw your apology letter. This is what “class” looks like.
Having witnessed Taylor Swift’s VMAs moment interrupted by one of her “fans,” Beyonce Knowles did what was right. While accepting her award for Video of the Year, the singer allowed the 19-year-old to pick up where she left off.
“I remember being 17 years old, up for my first MTV Award with Destiny’s Child, and it was one of the most exciting moments in my life. So I’d like Taylor to come out and have her moment,” Knowles said.
Cue another standing ovation…for both stars.

Kanye West’s Weak Apology to Taylor Swift
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, MTV, Internet,
UPDATE: You can read Kanye’s newest apology here.
UPDATE: You can read Taylor Swift’s response to his outburst here.
Etiquette Rule #213: “If you’re going to write an apology letter…DON’T USE ALL FREAKIN’ CAPS!!!”
Shortly after disrespecting country singer Taylor Swift (and reportedly being kicked out of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards), Kanye West hit his personal blog.
Since we’re currently unable to access the website (has the half-ass “apology” already disintegrated?), you’ll just have to read his
words here.
What do you think about the rapper’s post? Do you think Taylor should even give him the time of day?
