Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Video Music Awards And Patrick Swayze: This Week’s Deep Cuts
Another week has come to a close in the MTV Newsroom, which was full of stage-crashers, divas, tributes, apologies, untimely deaths, bare-chested werewolves and Kermit the Frog. Just in case you want you missed any of the excitement flying around this particular tube in the series, here are the week’s highlights.
» The Video Music Awards aired this past Sunday, which featured Kanye West’s stage-crashing attack on Taylor Swift, Janet Jackson’s tribute to Michael and some wacky arrivals care of Pink, Swift, Cobra Starship, Lady Gaga and the All-American Rejects. Check out all the behind-the-scenes interviews and insight that MTV News put together to cover the biggest party of the year.
» In the wake of the VMAs, Taylor Swift prepared for her appearance on “The View” with a trip to see Kings of Leon on Long Island.
» Meanwhile, Kanye West spent his time after the VMAs apologizing regularly and profusely. That didn’t stop the Internet from dropping Kanye into all manner of famous photos, and then taking some time off before going back to the well.
» What did you get Nick Jonas for his birthday?
» Patrick Swayze passed away, leaving behind an epic musical legacy.
» We thought Kelly Clarkson would be the cream of the crop on “VH1 Divas.” And you know what? We were right!
» “Dancing with the Stars” premieres on Monday, but the trash talk has already begun.
» Despite separating her shoulder, Pink kicked off her tour in style with bondage, mirrors and at least one trapeze.
» There’s a big UFC event this weekend, and you can bet that Hayley Williams will know the difference between a kimura and a triangle choke.
» Finally, if you’re reading this after sundown on Friday (September 18), be sure to celebrate the new year with the most sacred of Kiss tunes.

Did Kanye West’s ‘Leno’ Apology Work? The Oh Snap! Poll
On last night’s premiere of “The Jay Leno Show,” the host welcomed Kanye West to the stage for a three minute chat about his storming the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. West was already scheduled for the show as its first musical guest (later, he joined Jay-Z and Rihanna for a blistering blast of “Run This Town”), but Leno made it sound like West wanted to take some time to talk about Sunday night’s incident. While he never actually said the words “I’m sorry,” he did acknowledge the rudeness of his actions and seemed to have some genuine remorse over what happened. He even hinted that he might need to take some time off to re-evaluate some things in his life. This was the third of a total of four apologies, but the Jay Leno visit was the most public and talked-about.
Just about everybody has voiced an opinion in one way or another, but we wanted to know what was on the minds of the public. So we hit the streets and talked to a random sampling of fans to find out whether or not they believed West’s apology.
The hilariously unscientific results are in, and it appears as though West’s road to redemption runs straight uphill. 68 percent of the people we spoke to said they weren’t buying West’s apology, with most of those suggesting that while he may have meant it, that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t do it again. West still has his supporters, though, and the 32 percent of people who responded to our question said that they would still support West despite his unfortunate actions at the VMAs.
