I would loe to see Kanye singing on Leno and Taylor walk out, take the microphone from him and sing that old Linda Rondstadt song, "you're no good".

Sorry to read about Patrick Swayze.

I LOL at Kat's tweet. I am a total fan and I love her humor, it's not for everyone but she cracks me up.

my heart goes out to Etahn, I pray he gets better.

Patrick, a real class act, gone too soon. Man, we have lost some big ones this year. My thoughts are with his family

Did anyone watch Oprah's "interview" with Whitney Houston today. I've never heard so many leading questions outside of a cross-examination. Whitney didn't have to do anything except nod, Oprah fed her the questions and the answers.

It turns out Whitney's drug of choice was Bobby Brown. Which reminds of how Liza Minelli used to carry on about being high on life and nothing else. Whitney only admitted to smoking cocaine rolled up in her marijuana cigarettes. Okey dokey.

Her speaking voice is trashed, very whiskeyish. She didn't sing on today's show, but I think she's singing on tomorrow's. This also, I think, is the interview on which she blamed her vocal meltdown during that morning news telecast.

I've heard one song off her new album. It was treacly and uninspiring. Kind of like the crappy song they always make American Idol singers perform when they win. Certainly wouldn't have been worthy of her vocal talents back in the day.

Yes that is sad about Patrick and Ethan. I hope they can help Ethan.

Whitney Houston used to have a fantastic voice but I was never a big fan of most of her songs. I think GAL described them quite well.

From TMZ: Patrick Swayze died today after a long battle with cancer. He was 57.

Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January 2008. His publicist says he died with his family at his side.

He was the star of such movies as "Ghost," "Dirty Dancing," and "Road House." Swayze was named People's Sexiest Man Alive in 1991.

yeah Whitney's speaking voice is shot. And I heard fan recordings of her doing Good Morning America where her singing voice sounds it, too. I don't know how live her singing on Oprah will be, but....

Kayne did a long rambling apology on Leno before he sang. Leno asked him what his mother would have said of his behavior and he seemed to get rather choked up at that.

found an article about it...

West takes time for 3rd apology during Leno debut

LOS ANGELES – Kanye West used Jay Leno's prime-time debut Monday to offer another apology for ruining Taylor Swift's night at the MTV Video Music Awards and to say he's going to take some time off for reflection.

West said he knew he was wrong the moment he handed the microphone back to Swift, when he was bathed in boos. He had interrupted Swift on Sunday night as she accepted a best female video award for "You Belong With Me," arguing that Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" was more deserving.

"It was rude, period," West said. He posted a second apology to Swift on his blog on Monday, and told Leno he wanted to apologize to the country music star in person.

West took a long pause when Leno asked what his mother would have said about the incident. West was very close to his mother, Donda, who died in November 2007. He said yes when Leno asked whether his mother would have given him a lecture.

"So many celebrities, they never take the time off," he said. "I've never taken the time off to really — you know, just music after music and tour after tour. I'm just ashamed that my hurt caused someone else's hurt. My dream of what awards shows are supposed to be, 'cause, and I don't try to justify it because I was just in the wrong. That's period. But I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I'm going to make it through the rest of this life, how I'm going to improve."

He had already been set to perform on Leno's first prime-time show on NBC, but asked for time to talk with the controversy swirling. It may have been a stroke of luck for Leno, whose daily prime-time comedy show already was the most buzzed-about fall debut. With West, it's likely to draw even more curious viewers.

It was reminiscent of when Hugh Grant appeared on the "Tonight" show with Leno in 1995 to make amends after being arrested with a prostitute — only this time there weren't many laughs. The Grant appearance was a springboard for Leno to eclipse David Letterman in the ratings.

Leno was quick to reference the West incident with one of his first monologue jokes Monday, saying President Barack Obama had invited West and the 19-year-old Swift for a "root beer summit."

West has gotten in trouble before with ill-timed comments, raising scenes after losing awards himself at the VMAs, the Grammys and the American Music Awards. In 2005, West said during a telethon after Hurricane Katrina that President George W. Bush "doesn't care about black people."

MTV wasn't complaining on Monday. Televised on MTV, MTV2 and VH1 simultaneously on Sunday, the awards show was seen by 11 million people, according to Nielsen Media Research. That's up 21 percent over last year and was the most-watched Video Music Awards since 2002.

A corporate partner of MTV jumped to take advantage of it. Comedy Central, like MTV owned by Viacom Inc., planned to rerun four times in a row on Tuesday a "South Park" episode that poked fun at West's ego.

West spoke on Leno's show before performing with Jay-Z and Rihanna on Jay-Z's song "Run This Town."

Some of West's fans who were waiting to see the performance on Leno's show condemned the rapper.

"I thought that was very disrespectful," said Oscar Velasquez, 21, of Valley Village, Calif. "He's a great musician, but as a person, he's not a role model or anything. And I think that not only are his fans disappointed but his mom would be disappointed. I don't think she raised him like that, to be like that. I think he needs to remember that."

Velasquez said he'd remained a fan of West's after previous awards show blowups, but, "I'm getting kind of tired of it. There comes to a point where you know what? That's how you are, but you can change. And he needs to change."

Errimis Pullett, 27, of San Diego, said he planned to boo West.

He said he'd dismissed West's previous award show tantrums by telling himself, "'Oh, he's kind of misunderstood. He's a little egotistical.' But last night, just jumping in front of Taylor Swift and stealing her moment, that was ridiculous. I can't support or defend that. I'm a huge fan, bought all his CDs. ... I'm glad Beyonce stepped in and let her finish her speech up."

This time, Pullett said, "he looked more like a bully."

Swift is going to be on the View today. (not sure if it's a coincidence or not)

I'm curious as to what Kanye's "dream of what awards shows are supposed to be" is? The kind where only he and his favorites always win? That one line during his Leno segment came off really strange and selfish to me.

Julie, he was already scheduled to be on as part of a performance with JayZ and Rhianna.
I wondered that too, Naja.

I miss Patrick Swayze and Dominick Dunne. At least Dominick got his full share of life. Patrick's death is tragic.

If I were Leno, and this is assuming Leno has "the power," I'd say screw Kanye--he's not coming on. Now maybe it is beyond Leno himself. But to let that creep have any more press makes me sick. I don't care if he apologizes or cries or not. He has a history of pulling this kind of crap. If I were Beyonce, I'd be very furious at him. Does she really need him to patronize her like that??

Even though I knew it was inevitable, i was saddened to hear that Patrick Swayze died last night. He tried so hard to beat that insidious disease, I was hoping he would have more time.

Well, Kathy Griffin got wind of all the misunderstanding with her tweet, and here is her new tweet.

"officialkathyg: I'm thanking Kanye for the stand up material! Jesus, I'm not going after Swifty!"

Taylor was on The View...this was her response to 'what was going through your head when he came up there' (it was cute to see!)

"I think my overall thought process went something like, 'Wow, I can't believe I won, this is awesome, don't trip and fall, I'm gonna get to thank the fans, this is cool...Oh, Kanye West is here. Cool hair cut. What are you doin' there?' And then, 'Ouch.' And then, 'I guess I'm not gonna get to thank the fans.' "

So all the clips of the incident that I've seen abruptly stop at the end of Kanye's rude and nasty interruption. What happened after that? Did Taylor just walk off the stage and not finish her acceptance speech?
