Kanye West ain’t going back. At least that’s what he said during a full out temper tantrum at the MTV Video Music Awards show. That is, he’s not going back to appear on the VMAs in the future.

Near the end of the awards show, backstage, West was apparently heard ranting about his loss in all 5 of the categories he was nominated for.  “That’s two years in a row, man … give a black man a chance,” said West.

The last time West pitched a fit was onstage after having lost the award for Best Video at the MTV Europe Awards. He stormed onstage, as the award was being presented to Justice and Simian, and argued that he should have won.

In other Kanye controversy, rapper 50 cent who is due to release a CD on Sept 11, the same day as Kanye’s newest CD told reporters that if his sales don’t beat West’s he will retire.

More action at the MTV Video Awards included a physical altercation between 2 ex-husbands of Pamela Anderson.

Kid Rock was cited for battery after a physical fight with Tommy Lee. Versions of who instigated and why the fight started are varied but in the end security escorted Tommy Lee out and let Kid Rock stay to the end of the show.

A police officer was quoted as saying that Kid Rock could receive up to 6 months in jail but that it was highly uncommon for someone in that situation to receive that long a sentence.

Critics are not being generous with Britney Spears’ attempted comeback on the MTV awards show. Her performance was ripped apart by critics who said the 25 year-old singer’s performance included out-of-synch lip-synching and sluggish choreography. Perhaps the nastiest slap at Britney was the reference to her no longer taunt belly. One of the nicer comments came from producer Akon who later said, “She seemed nervous … you could tell by the expression on her face. Instead of just blocking everybody out and doing her thing, you could tell she was thinking about it.”

Not quiet the much talked about performance in 2003 where Brit and Madonna locked lips on stage.

Eddie Griffin, a 38-year-old actor comedian totaled a $1.5 million rare Enzo Ferrari. He was practicing for an upcoming charity race event to promote his film “Redline” when he crashed the car into a concrete barrier. While the car is completely destroyed, with heavy damage to the front end, walked away without a scratch. The Enzo, owned by “Redline” executive producer Daniel Sadek said “I’m glad Eddie came out of the crash OK, but my dream car got destroyed.” Sadek’s exotic car collection is being featured in the movie. Only 400 Ferrari Enzos were produced and all were made between 2002 and 2004. Named after The Company’s founder Enzo Ferrari, the car was designed based on Formula 1 technology. Originally only 349 units would be made but Ferrari was convinced to make another 50. In 2005 Ferrari decided to make 1 more Enzo. The car was auctioned by Sotheby’s to benefit survivors of the 2004 Tsunami. The auction raised $1.27 million, twice the list price and proceeds were given to Pope Benedict.

Hawaiian lawmakers honored bounty hunter “Dog” Chapman and his wife Beth for their endeavor to take criminals off the street of Hawaii. The Chapmans star in the reality series “Dog the Bounty Hunter” which follows the couple, their family and employees in their attempts to apprehend people who have jumped bail or are avoiding warrants for their arrest.The government also has another measure before the Legislature that urges the Mexican government to drop extradition proceedings.

Chapman, his son and a colleague were arrested in Mexico in 2003 for “deprivation of liberty” in connection with their capture of fugitive convicted rapist, Andrew Luster, the Max Factor heir. Rigorously fighting the extradition, Chapman could face up to 4 years in a Mexican prison if convicted however, most experts agree that it is more likely he would have to pay a fine of a few hundred dollars.

Not sure I’d risk 4 years of imprisonment based on what “experts” say MIGHT happen.
