This beauty can be purchased at Saks for a mere $1595.  Ma, I know you’re reading…how bout this covers my Christmas and b-day gifts for say…the next 30 years or so?

Anyway, Christmas came early for me the other day when I saw this clip of Nancy Grace ripping Jon a new one on The Insider.

Seriously, this made my day. The only other thing I could ask for is a dream team interrogation panel of Nancy Grace, Judge Judy, Maury, and of course, Project Runway’s Tim Gunn, to rip apart that nasty Ed Hardy shiz.

Kanye West attempted to do damage control via his blog, with an apology to Taylor Swift. For those of you who don’t know already, at last night’s MTV VMA’s, West jumped on stage during the country singer’s acceptance speech, stole her mic, and proceeded to tell the audience that Beyonce had the best video of they year. (see the video in my post from last night.)

Here is what Kanye had to say, in his trademark, obnoxious ALL CAPS:

I’M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD’VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE’S IN THE BLEACHERS! …………………… I’M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!…………….. BEYONCE’S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I’M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN’ THE SHOW AT THE CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE … WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I’M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!! YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME… THAT’S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! I’M NOT CRAZY YALL, I’M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I’M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!

To me, this apology smacks with insincerity. Is he mocking her lyrics? I feel like his PR team made him apologize, he didn’t want to, and this is what he came up with. He feels bad for Taylor? Why, because she won? “I feel really bad for Taylor” is something an outsider should say. He’s a fan of real pop culture? Does that mean Taylor isn’t “real” pop culture? Well Yeezy, I have some news for you…T. Swift’s album Fearless sold 3.7 million copies this year…more than any other album (courtesy of Perez Hilton.) If that’s not pop culture I don’t know what is. I’m still really pissed about this. Kanye’s always had a lot of haters, but I’ve respected the music he’s made. This kind of throws all that out the window. He can do all of the “apologizing” he wants, but he’s still gonna come out looking like a tool.

In other news, after Beyonce (female video candidate for ‘Single Ladies’) won Video of the Year, she invited Taylor Swift onstage for a ‘do over.’ This makes me love B even more than I already did…Clearly she felt bad about Kanye’s disruption and even though it wasn’t her fault, she made it up to T. Swift with class. Yay!

As nineteen-year-old country singer Taylor Swift took the stage to give her acceptance speech for winning best female video (‘You Belong With Me’), Kanye West stormed the stage, stole the mic from Swift and proceeded to say, in less words, that Taylor was undeserving and that Beyonce (up for ‘Single Ladies’) should have won. Here is a video clip…make sure you peep it before it’s taken down:

Ugh. As someone who always supported Kanye, this is such a turn-off. Really? She’s a teenager and a sweetheart, for all that the public can see. And she won an award she deserves. Grow the hell up Kanye.

So, a word to the wise people. Think the next time you step out of your house on a quick errand thinking no one will see you so it doesn’t matter how you’re dressed…because clearly you never know.

Sorry for the crappy quality,  but Serena says “I swear to God I’m gonna take this f***ing ball and shove it down your f***ing throat, you hear that? I swear to God”

Now, I’m not going to say I’ve never lost my temper playing sports. I’m a competitive individual- in fact, most of my high school teammates can attest that an official had to remind me to watch my mouth on more than one occasion. I understand that sports and competition can be extremely passionate and emotional, especially when a professional like Williams has so much riding on a win or loss. But blatant disrespect of officials is inexcusable and in my opinion the lowest form of unsportsmanlike conduct. A big fan of the Williams sisters, I must admit I’m really disappointed in Serena’s actions on the court. A lot of athletes and celebrities dismiss this aspect of their fame, but like it or not, if you’re in the public spotlight you are a role model for younger generations that aspire to be in the same position. Angry outbursts and other displays of unsportsmanlike conduct (both on AND off the field/court/green/whatever) seriously diminish the integrity of competition…and if actions like Williams’ are what the next generation of professional athletes are exposed (not to mention desensitized) to now, who knows what will be the norm ten or even 20 years from now?

They won’t be out until November, so for those of you with me on your christmas list, I wear a size 6. I just might not be able to wait for December 25 though, so I will definitely start saving.

I love how they can be worn with the high tops rolled down. So versatile! Also digging the studded detail which is all over absolutely everything this season.

Just when we thought we got away from all the baby mama drama surrounding Sarah Palin and her motley crew, Levi Johnston (Bristol Palin’s baby daddy) decides he hasn’t quite milked his 15 minutes for all they’re worth just yet…and seizes the opportunity to pose nude for Playgirl magazine. No, I’m not joking. TMZ is reporting that Johnston has been spending lots of time in the gym getting nice and buff for his shoot. No word on when these photos plan on surfacing, but trust me when I say I will not be viewing them. I almost didn’t want to do this post, but I figured if I had to be warned of this horrific event, I wanted to share it with you all. You’re welcome.

Ugh. Are we supposed to WANT to see this naked?

First of all, what the HELL is Johnston thinking? He is [in]famous for being a teenage father. What’s more, why is he more focused on fame and fortune than he is on taking care of his baby? And finally, what kind of batshit crazy world is this kid living in that he thinks people are actually gonna go for this stuff? Yes, I realize that by posting this, I am giving him exactly what he wants…more attention. Therefore, I’m just gonna step away from my computer and go clean out my puke bucket.
