Taylor Swift was a victim of Kanye West’s theft, saved by Beyonce Knowles

Last night, the VMAs was about two persons.. and two persons only.

If you haven’t heard about these two, then you must be living in a cave. Taylor Swift video won the first award, as the Best Female Video over the much more senior Beyonce and much more eccentric Lady GaGa. She was shocked, went onstage, took the award, mic and started her acceptance speech. She said she dreamt about winning the award but never actually thought it would happen since she sang country music.

The same second, Kanye West showed up out of nowhere (his seat I guess, it might be too hot he couldn’t sit still) onstage, took the mic from Taylor Swift’s hand and said “Taylor, I’m really happy for you, and I’m gonna let you finish, but BeyoncĂ© had one of the best videos of all time.” He gave the mic back to Taylor Swift who looked as though she felt defeated and was about to cry.

Everyone went bizerk. Especially the audience and in twitterverse. Including me, who couldn’t stop bad mouthing Kanye West last night on my twitter. The poop went down when the VMAs was only running for about twenty minutes.

It was a very bad behavior, Kanye! Not only you stole the moment, you killed the night when everyone was supposed to be talking about Kristen Stewart’s new haircut, newest trailer of New Moon and the tribute to Michael Jackson.Very disrespectful!

Beyonce is better than Taylor Swift? No! you can’t compare them. Beyonce is a diva, while I only heard Taylor Swift’s first single just last year. Video-wise.. I thought Lady GaGa should win. From the character to the lyrics to the video. Everything is interesting and always make people curious. But the VMAs is MTV’s show and surely they don’t choose winners randomly. There are requirements and this year “You Belong with Me” completed all of them more than the others in the Best Female Video category.

Kanye crushed Taylor’s dream? No! Taylor’s moment was just stolen. Her dream was not. She dreamt about getting the moonman. She got it.

Harry Allen on Twitter posted a screenshot of Kanye West’s online apology he wrote on his blog.

Being real? Sorry? Much Respect? BOGUS!

If Kanye West were happy for Taylor he would let her have her moment. A fan of real pop culture? No! He’s a fan of Beyonce! A ridiculously fanatic fan. Besides, it was just called “Best Female Video” and not “Best Pop Video” which was won by Britney Spears. What.. Kanye wants to steal it too? Too bad.. he can’t because Britney’s acceptance speech video was pre-recorded. Boooooo Kanye West Boooooo!!

And couldn’t he just wait for like 90 minutes? In the end Beyonce won the Video of the Year anyway. And because of Kanye West, Beyonce couldn’t give her acceptance speech because she HAD TO give “the moment” back to Taylor Swift. Too complicated to understand? Here we go, Kanye West is the thief, stole Taylor’s “moment” for Beyonce at the beginning of the show. Beyonce WAS EMBARASSED by it, she had to give the “moment” back to Taylor.

Kanye West has some issues. There should be school of manners for recording artist like Kanye West!!

I kinda thought last night was a conspiracy.. A dramatic entertainment for everyone. And how Taylor Swift is wearing the same color dress as Beyonce in the end. Regardless,

I mark last night VMAs as Taylor Swift’s VMAs. After the bitter reality, she came back bigger than ever in the New York subway singing her award-winning single. I am a fan for life.

I Plead Guilty..

It’s been so HOT here lately and I’ve been stayin’ at home.. Out sometimes for groceries shopping. And when I do that, I’m comfortable in my perfect white t-shirt and flip flops. Not so fashionable.

The latter, I wore to a baseball game.. Yeap, baseball game.. and I just had to wear heels. I’m sure people thought I was crazy – I was the only one in heels, the rest were with sneakers and flip flops of course. But what they didn’t know, how good it felt and how the heels were actually comfortable even for walking the uneven orange ground of baseball field. Oh and not to forget I excessorize on both occasions.

Perfect white t-shirt : GAP | Navy Blazer : Zara | Accessorize: from traditional craft to eBay to Fossil to BPA Metal Craft to Aldo | Pink Skirt: H&M | Heels: Aldo

Finally, I just have to share another favorite dress from the Movie Awards, I especially love the front detail: Hayden Panettiere wearing Emanuel Ungaro. Pic courtesy of WireImage.

MTV Movie Awards 2009

First of all, let me say Andy Samberg was the perfect host for the night. He was good looking, he was funny, and so entertaining.

Congrats to Twilight and the cast who stole the show last night with a bunch of awards and highlights. New Moon’s official trailer is out on youtube, everybody!!

Here’s several fashion peeks of last night’s show.


Of all, my favorite was Ashley Tisdale’s little purple dress. The dress was so subtle yet flattering and with the shoes too. She looked cool, yet pretty and sophisticated. And that ring on her middle finger is to die for!

Despite what Kristen Stewart wore last night, I’m still a fan of hers. Her dress was awful, she looked like she was trying to be Mrs Spider Man and failing. And what’s with the shoes? She probably didn’t care about how she looked or how she was supposed to dress. But hello, weren’t the celebs supposed to work with stylists for the night? If she was looking for comfyness she could go with a pair of Keds or something, they make a really pretty pair. Last but not least, she looked like she just got out of bed with hair like that.

Leighton Meester was soooo pretty. I wasn’t really a fan of her dress, my first impression was it looked a little trashy – especially on the shoulder and upper arm. But then I thought the cut on the front was smart. Or maybe because it was Leighton Meester. 50-50 I’d say.

I like Vanessa Hudgens’ flowy orange dress. I am normally not a fan of orange but hers was a cool electric orange. I love the length and the cut that allowed shoes showing. But if I were to wear the dress, since I am also petite, I would tighten the tummy part a little to define the waist.
