Ok Ok we are a little bit late on posting this...especially seeing as I've been told if you're a few minutes late in the blogging world you may aswell be years late! Blogging etiquette to one side I just had to put this up and say what a T@!t Kanye West is! Its a given..Beyonce is amazing...but 'Best Video Of All Time' for Single Ladies?...I don't think so. Apparently, Kanye got escorted out the building with Amber Rose, the awards he was due to receive got passed to the runners up and they canceled his performance! Nice One!
