Celebrity Unofficial

Watch it for yourself:

Her people say that she was being ‘playful.’

My thoughts: Yeah right. It’s plainly obvious from the video that this wasn’t being playful. This is the video of a woman who thought she had it wrapped up and was genuinely ticked off that she lost. She started to raise her hands in triumph when the announcement was made, and then - in an unguarded moment - we see what she’s really feeling once it sinks in that she didn’t win.

Not that Faith Hill isn’t talented, but her ego clearly got ahead of her in this case. She’s used to the adulation that is regularly heaped upon her and her husband, Tim McGraw; and I think she was honestly stunned that she didn’t get the award she so clearly felt she deserved.

This is what happens when celebrities start believing their own PR hype…

If there was ever much doubt that Kanye West has the biggest ego in show business, he completely erased it at the MTV Europe Awards. In an industry dominated by narcissists, that’s saying a whole lot…

Despite being named Best Hip Hop Artist, he lost out on Best Video…and that’s when he lost his mind: 

…he crashed the stage Thursday in Copenhagen when the award was being presented to Justice and Simian for “We Are Your Friends.”

In a tirade riddled with expletives, Kanye said he should have won the prize for his video “Touch The Sky,” because it “cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons.”

“If I don’t win, the awards show loses credibility,” Kanye said.

Well damn, Kanye. That’s just about as compelling an argument as anybody could possibly make. You wasted a lot of money, lined up an actress not exactly known for her acting talent, and you used special effects. Why isn’t obvious to the rest of the world that the only possible end result was the best video of the year? Especially given the obvious fact that you are the only talented person in the entire industry…At least in your own mind, that is…

It’s just another in a long line of incidents where West’s ego drowns out his talent. He should have been grabbing headlines for his win as Best Hip Hop Artist; instead, people get to see the temper tantrum of an egotistical child. Way to go, Kanye…
