Taylor Swift wouldn’t win my vote for any award per se, but what Kanye West did last night at the MTV VMA’s happens to be one of the sickest things I’ve seen on the tube in ages. You’re likely to find more class from The Real World Cancun than from Your Man Kanye ripping the mic out of a young Swift’s hands.

But this is what it’s come to folks. Artists have become freak shows and celebrity divas and there’s no turning back. Give it up to Kanye for setting the global news wires ablaze, but don’t expect his Roc-A-Fella/Island Def Jam to drop him anytime soon. PR stunt be damned–Kanye went on stage to give props to Beyonce–a mighty tribute weren’t it for the fact that Beyonce is hitched to Roc-A-Fella’s own Jay-Z.

PR stunt or not? You decide. Either way, it wasn’t classy. Then again, do we really expect much anymore from the VMA’s?
