Yesterday at the VMAs, rapper Kanye West stormed on stage during Taylor Swift’s shining glory after receiving an award for Best Female Video for her music video “You Belong With Me.” The rapper was way over his head when he grabbed the microphone from Taylor Swift and announced to the crowd that he thought Beyonce deserved the award.

His reported outburst were as follows…

“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!”

Taylor Swift was mortified after the incident and was reportedly crying histerically backstage after the incident. Even Beyonce looked astonished and mortified by Kanye West’s absurd behavior. It was also reported that he got booted from the show for his ridiculous. All I comment is what the heck was he thinking?

Cohen was nicknamed “Glitter Girl” after auditioning in American Idol. During her Season 7 audition she proudly declared ‘I march to the beat of a different drummer.’ After being rejected twice the idol hopeful was known for her angry outbursts after the audition (see video below). Dallow claimed that her daughter was planning a third audition in June was preparing for a call-back audition.

The perpetrator, 23-year old Daniel Bark was arrested Sunday evening in Atlantic Highlands. Bark was charged with leaving the scene of the crime which killed Cohen and is expecting additional charges of aggravated manslaughter, death by auto and eluding. The Superior Court Judge Wendell E. Daniels said these complaints could be accompanied by a bail of $150,000 on top of the $35,000 bail that is holding Bark in the Ocean County Jail in Toms River.

According to Bark’s attorney, David Glassman, stated that Bark is on suicide watch in the County Jail. I quote “He’s having an extremely difficult time mentally coming to terms with the fact there’s an allegation that he caused a death,” Glassman said. “His family wants the victim’s family to know their heart-felt condolences go out to the victim.” During the trial, Bark was fighting back tears and said nothing other than “Yes, sir,” when the judge was asking him if he understood his rights.
