President Obama thinks he’s a jackass. Hundreds of thousands of tweets have expressed similar sentiments. And this evening, Kanye West was one of the first guests on the premiere episode of Jay Leno’s new primetime show, where the musician said that he’s “ashamed” of crashing Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at Sunday night’s Video Music Awards.

Kanye had already been scheduled to perform of the show, but the interview was only added to the schedule after last night’s antics became the buzz of the media and the Web. After watching it, it seems fairly clear that Sunday’s antics were not staged, as Leno nearly brings Kanye to tears in asking about what his recently deceased mother would think of his actions.

Here’s the interview in full, via NBC:

Tweets from Angry Celebrities

The world according to Kanye is making the celebrity circuit buzz with contempt.

A very humble Taylor Swift lost the twinkle in her eyes, after a not so humble Kayne West stormed MTV’s VMA stage, and interrupted her acceptance speech for ‘Best Female Video.’

West lambasted the young Swift by hijacking the mic, and then suggesting that Beyonce should be the rightful winner of the coveted moon man. The outlandish act has many celebs fuming with anger, and Tweeting like mad.

Here is what some of them had to say:

• Pink : “Kanye west is the biggest piece of s*** on earth. Quote me.”

• P. Diddy: “I’m gonna say this, we should always have respect for each other! End of discussion.”

• Kelly Pickler: “Tator Tot, you handled yourself with Grace. Kanye, go grow some f***ing balls b***h! don’t mess w/my lil sis!!”

• Dane Cook: “Kanye did something incredible tonight. He made me like country music.”

• Ricky Martin: “Kanye - kanye what an a****** dude.”

• Elizabeth Banks: “I actually teared up on behalf of that tall Taylor Swift. She’s a kid living her dream! She looked like a beanstalk to Kanye’s mushroom.”

• Spencer Pratt: “Taylor Swift deserved that award, damnit. It is what THE PEOPLE voted! My heart broke for her, she looked so sad at the end of that moment.”

• Chris Paul: “I can not believe that jus happened…CRAZY!!! I am speechless and taylor swift did not deserve that…”

• John Mayer: “Big love to my girl @taylorswift13. A class act.”

• Ryan Seacrest: “Vma’s- I feel like taylor is my little sister. I just called her to say was proud of her and she was so brave to crush it right after!”

• Hayley Williams: “Taylor swift, y’all. #teamTaylor.”

• Lauren Conrad: “i heart Taylor Swift! Congrats! Well deserved.”

Not long after Kanye West’s now infamous on stage rant at the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday, fans and celebrities hit Twitter. Blasting the rapper, who is often lauded for his talent, a number of celebrities including Capitol Records’ Jaicko, say Kanye lost cool points. “Cmon kanye…I’m disappointed in u bro…u just lost a couple points from me,” Jaicko wrote late Sunday.

West’s rant, which included grabbing the mic from Swift, also upset Kelly Rowland. Recognizing the stolen moment, like Beyonce mentioned before giving Swift the floor to speak during her Video of the Year acceptance speech, Rowland wrote: “I LOVE Kanye and I LOVE TAYLOR, and OF COARSE I LOVE B!! But NO ONE should have a moment taken away from them…“

While sources say Taylor Swift and her mother took West’s interruption hard, allegedly crying backstage, they now have a new group of supporters including Trey Songz and Keri Hilson.

Songz, tweeting Swift, wrote “you deserve all you receive beautiful, let no man tell you different. “

Keri Hilson, admiring Swift’s return to the stage later in the evening, like many others, wrote “YAAAAAY! Taylor got her moment!!”

According to MTV, the “808s & Heartbreak” star was booted shortly after a controversial on stage rant that disrupted the first-ever acceptance speech from country star Taylor Swift — but not before another altercation.

MTV sources say West and longtime foe/artist P!nk nearly came face to face after West issued the words “I’m sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time“. Sources say P!nk was so upset that she began to approach the rapper as he returned to his seat amidst “boos” from the audience and was thus escorted away by security.

After being asked to leave, West left New York’s Radio City Music Hall.

But Pink was not done, she later tweeted about the incident, stating: “Kanye west is the biggest piece of sh*t on earth. Quote me.”
“My heart goes out to Taylor Swift. She is a sweet and talented girl and deserved her moment. She should know we all love her,” Pink went on to say.

Earning criticism for interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye West wasted no time to issue an apology to the young country music singer. Not only he dedicated the apologetic statements, which he posted on his blog few hours after the incident took place, to Taylor, but also to her mother and fans.

“I’M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD’VE SAID,” Kanye began his post. “SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE’S IN THE BLEACHERS! ………………….. I’M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT! …………….”

“BEYONCE’S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW,” the hip-hop artist continued. “WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I’M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN’ THE SHOW AT THE CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE … WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I’M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!!”

“YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME … THAT’S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! I’M NOT CRAZY YALL, I’M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I’M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!,” Kanye ended his post.

Kanye West managed to set tongue wagging when he suddenly jumped to the stage at the 26th Annual MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, September 13 when Taylor Swift was giving her acceptance speech for her Best Female Video prize. She was delivering her speech when he took away the microphone she was holding and telling audience that Beyonce Knowles should have won the prize for the music video of her track “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”.

“Yo Taylor. I’m really happy for you. I’m gonna let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!” he shouted. Both Taylor and Beyonce were shocked at Kanye’s action.

However, later that day when she was announced as Video of the Year winner for her “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” music video, Beyonce invited Taylor to once again come to the stage and finish her speech which was previously cut short by Kanye.
