Kanye vs. Swift

Everyone is talking about the VMA's the other night and Kanye West's outburst praising Beyonce. The majority of people backed Swift including Beyonce and fellow musical artist P!NK saying if she's won the award it would've been different when Kanye walked on stage. On the Jay Leno show Kanye said how sorry he was for taking away Swift's moment and that his mother would've been disappointed in him. He then went on to say that he needs to take time off to reflect on himself. Isn't that the one thing he shouldn't do, think more about himself? If celebrities go to far, who's there to hold them accountable? Certainly not the press who, when Britney Spears decided not to fully dress, increased her career but putting her name everywhere. When has infamy become successful?

  1. You have zeroed in on a common misunderstanding of fame as compared with notoriety. I especially like your remarks on self-reflection.
