Ugh, can we pleeeaase stop talking about this? Just when we thought we could leave Kanye West and his drama in the September archives, someone else had to put in their two cents, and this time, that special someone was Beyonce.
In case anyone forgot about the 2009 MTV VMAs incident, sweet little Taylor Swift took the stage to accept her award for Best Female Video, Kanye stomped up onstage, grabbed her mic and proclaimed that Beyonce should have won the award. Kanye later apologized, and when Beyonce won her award for Video Of The Year, she allowed Taylor to have take the floor and finish her speech.
At Billboard's Women In Music event last night, Beyonce told O: The Oprah Magazine editor Gayle King:
Why is Beyonce bringing this up just now? Is this an attempt to garner her (and her pal Kanye) even more publicity or what?
Hmm...

- "Well, I knew his intentions, and I knew he was standing up for art; and he told me before, when they said the nominees, he's like, 'You have this award.' And when they didn't call my name he was, like, completely shocked. And when he walked on the stage, I was like, 'No, no, no!' and then he spoke, and I was like, 'Oh, no, no, no!' But in the end, it ended up being a great night, and Taylor Swift did get her moment - and I didn't have to make an acceptance speech."
