Now Kanye's crying!
Kanye West appeared close to tears last night as he apologised yet again for interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at Sunday's VMAs. Talking to chat-show host Jay Leno on live TV last night, Kanye said, "It's been extremely difficult, just dealing with the fact that I hurt someone or took anything away, you know, from a talented artist – or from anyone." With his head in his hands, Kanye – who had requested to appear on the show at the last minute – went on to say, "But I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I'm going to make it through the rest of this life, how I'm going to improve. Because I am a celebrity, and that's something I have to deal with. It was rude, period. And, you know, I'd like to be able to apologise to her in person. And I wanted to..." When Jay Leno then asked what Kanye's recently deceased mother would have thought of the incident, Kanye became openly choked up, admitting, "I only wanted to help people. My entire life, I've only wanted to give and do something that I felt was right. And I immediately knew in this situation that it was wrong and it wasn't a spectacle. It was actually someone's emotions that I stepped on. And if there's anything I could do to help Taylor in the future or help anyone, I'd like – you know, I want to live this thing. It's hard sometimes." Jeez, the guy is really beating himself up. OK Kanye, we forgive you!
