Kanye Apologizes A THIRD Time On Leno!

He must really be feeling the heat!

After acting like a disrespectful douche towards Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Kanye West took to his blog not just once but also twice to apologize to the country cutie, who is the biggest selling artist in America in the past 12 months.

Kanye then continued his tour of contrition during his appearance on Jay Leno's new 10 PM talk show on NBC Monday night.

He said he was sorry - again - and that he needed to take some time off. Hopefully that won't affect his upcoming co-headlining tour with GaGa!

Watch Kanye get very emotional (above).

He looked on the verge of tears!

      you know, I'd be the first one to hate on Kanye because I hate his ego-centric ass, but I really think he's sorry this time. Too bad they can'd do a do-over for Taylor Swift, but I bet you a million dollars they'll both find a way to make a joke out of this. Probably at the next VMAs they'll do something funny, because as much as I hate to admit this as well- they'll both still have careers.

      406

      He's full of shit.. FAKE



    7. 407

      Damn Ye Ayebeclear.com



    8. 408

      He's still an ass.



    9. 409

      THAT DID SEEM PRETTY REAL.. KANYE IS VERY CONTROVERSIAL.. AND VERY CONCIETED. BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE HE REALLY MEANT IT. MAYBE HE SHOULDN'T DRINK ANYMORE..
      HE HAS TALENT.. I LIKE HIS MUSIC BUT HE DOESN'T THINK BEFORE HE TALKS!



    10. 410

      WHAT THE FUCK. his actions were absolutely thought out and calculated. he KNEW that OBVIOUSLY it was going to be extremely hurtful. to interrupt someone on stage while accepting an award and grab it from them? HELLO?! especially a teenage girl. i bet he would never go up and grab an award from jay z or eminem. pick on someone your own size asshole.



    11. 411

      yeah of course he's gonna act upset, his PR people are probably on his ass so bad right now. he doesn't mean it he's a total ass



    12. 412

      He covered his mouth too much, he's lying. He couldn't care less. Guarantee he'll be in rehab in the next year or two.



    13. 413

      I still think he is a Douche, but it was a nice little apology. I love how Jay Leno brought the mommy into it. Kudos to Mr. Leno.



    14. 414

      I don't care how many times he says he's sorry. He is only doing that b/c there was such an angry backlash. This is not the first time he has pulled crap like this. He has a lot of anger issues and hatred towards white people. Why doesn't he get called out for being the racist that he is? It seems to be okay to disrespect another individual if you apologize afterwards. He wasn't sorry at the time. He had the whole show to try to make it up to Taylor but he let that opportunity go by. He thought he could get away with it & everyone would overlook it. Poor Taylor. He can't take it back no matter what. He has some really deep racial issues that need to be resolved.



    15. 415

      I think people are taking all this too personally.. he didnt do anything to you ppl. Granted it was a douche move but clearly hes paying for it… i think him and taylor should work together and produce a song! show they can put their difference aside rather than have everyone continuously talk about how he crushed taylor..blah blah blah… give her some credit…



    16. 416

      Don't bother… your an asshole and you will do it again next year.



    17. 417

      its good to see there's still a heart underneath all that ego. finally a seemingly sincere apology now all he has to do is apologize to taylor to her face.



    18. 418

      He is not sorry! This is not the first time he made an ass out of himself at an award show and i'm sure it won't be the last. Taylor handled herself with class. Maybe something Kanye could learn from her!



    19. 419

      seemed like bull, but the most believable of all of them…im assuming he wouldnt be apoligizing if most of America didnt hate him.



    20. 420

      bringing Kanye's mom into it - wow. I'm a journalist and I think that was one of the best questions ever asked. Good for you Jay!



    21. 421

      Oh wow, I commented on the Kanye Banning before I watched this. I don't know….. he looked sincere and he almost broke into tears when Jay brought up his mom…. I have a soft spot for people who cry…



    22. 422

      It looks like he was trying to force tears out! Way to go Jay for bringing up his dead mama!



    23. 423

      I JUST DONT LIKE HIM IM SORRY THIS ISNT HIS FIRST FUCK UP HES JUST A WALKING DOUCH BAG!!!!!



    24. 424

      He needs REHAB. That's what I thought. It was either that or he was faking it for sympathy.

      Anyway, day 3 and we're stil talking Kanye West.



    25. 425

      Kanye clearly has a mental illness. Normal people don't just do what he did (does). Egotism alone doesn't explain his behavior. My guesses: Narcissistic Personality Disorder or megalomania/delusions of grandeur as a symptom of bipolar disorder. This doesn't excuse his actions but I really don't feel that he is in control of his behavior.



    26. 426

      Omg….Its the VMA's not the fuckin GRAMMY'S…..GET OVER IT….THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT KANYE WANTS



    27. 427

      Hopefully he truly realizes he made a mistake and does lay low for a little bit.
      He seems sincere..time will tell



    28. 428

      Kanye is a good Actor. At least he was sober….



    29. 429

      haha asshole.



    30. 430

      Soounds like the same retard who wrote Chris Browns ' apology'



    31. 431

      wow…i think hes really sorry.now i think Taylor Swift and Kanye should do a song together.ha that'd be nutsssssssssssssss



    32. 432

      He's a douche! he has done stupid shit like this before-he's not sorry, it's all for show! he's a fucking idiot! I have sold my tickets to his concert after seeing what he did-no longer a fan.



    33. 433

      i wanted to see him cry…cause you KNOW he made poor taylor cry! asshole!



    34. 434

      HE WAS FAKING IT! HE WAS NOT ON THE VERGE OF TEARS AND NOT EMOTIONAL. HE IS A HORRIBLE ACTOR



    35. 435

      Now, I'm not one to forgive easily, but I honestly think he might be A LITTLE bit sorry. The look on his face when Leno asked him what his mother would think, you could tell he is KIND OF ashamed. I believe there is a piece of him that might be sorry, and I forgive that small portion of him, but Kayne as a whole doesn't really give a damn.



    36. 436

      dont think that apology could have been any less sincere..



    37. 437

      He really needs counseling.



    38. 438

      His act was downright rediculous, and the rudest thing in American history.



    39. 439

      This guy is absolutely insane! Even more importantly, he is a racist!! In this day and age, when racism is truly looked upon, by the majority of the people, as horrible, horrible thing - which it is - somehow he gets away with it. Why is that? Let's not forget what he said during a hurricane Katrina fund raiser about our president. He said, "George Bush does not like black people" - What he should have said was that Kanye West does not like white people!!! He is not talented at all. He is a disgrace and an embarassment to the black community and he is certainly a poor excuse for an American citizen. If he wants to hate people for the color of their skin - I suppose he has that right - however, no one should condone it. He isn't worth our time or our energy. He is a nothing with a big mouth!



    40. 440

      i dont care what he says i still hate that asshole!



    41. 441

      Kanye West is important to modern culture . Hes the first successful gay rapper I'm aware of



    42. 442

      i ditto comment 32

      CC



    43. 443

      LOSER!



    44. 444

      Kanye crossed the line this time. This just seemed like another empty apology. He just needs to go away and out of the spotlight for awhile, if that is possible for this big mouth. That poor sweet Taylor.. But wow Beyonce was a class act as usual!



    45. 445

      If I saw him on the street yesterday, I would have kicked him in the teeth. After watching that, I wouldn't.

      That seemed sincere, he seems broken, and maybe he DOES have a lot of hurt and anger from losing his mom that's he hasn't properly dealt with - I hope he takes the time to deal with it now.



    46. 446

      That's a first! No accent, no ego! Just human! I almost believe him! But he needs to stop doing that in front of an audience, why hasn't he apologize in person with Taylor?



    47. 447

      FUCK KANYE!



    48. 448

      Really the Guy messed up and apologized sincerely… let it go



    49. 449

      they really need to stop talking about this. yeah, it was HORRIBLY RUDE and IGNORANT, this story does not have to be on every news station/blog/talked about. you're giving him what he wants; scandal and gossip about him. i will never buy or listen to a song by him but GET OVER IT. he needs to apologize to her face and the end. he needs a more sincere apology to be scripted for when that happens cause he always turns his apology into something about him. first he said he gave up an award in the past. then he's comparing himself to a ben stiller movie. now he's saying it happened cause he needs to take time off?! leno's right; your mother would be very disappointed. that's the only reason he got emotional. he's turned out to be even more of a narcissistic asshole since she passed away. get a hold on your self.



    50. 450

      UGHHHH I fucking hate him… I can't beleive anyone has the audacity to do something like this to someone, especially someone so sweet and inocent… I am sure his parents are so proud… and the only reason he is even apologizing becuase his manager told him this is going to be mad for you and your wack ass career… and did anyone see Beyonce's face when he did that… she was semi smiling… so she is just as fake I think…



    51. 451

      he is sorry that everyone hates him, hes not sorry for what he did



    52. 452

      kanye doesn't like white girls. period



    53. 453

      WHAT A FUCKIN DOUCHEBAG..



    54. 454

      of course he is sorry he just committed social sucicide drunk or not hes a dumb ass with a bad temper



    55. 455

      yes, Kanye showed a HUGE amount of Douchebaggory, but im sorry, Leno was out of line bringing up his mom!



    56. 456

      yeah kanye, what would your MOMMA have said?



    57. 457

      ahaha kanye's a GAY FISHH.
      fuckk him.



    58. 458

      Anyone who really knows grief, can see Kanye is pretty messed up after his mother passes away. Eventhough he has a history of throwing temper tantrums at awards shows. I do feel for him. His behavior has been even more out of control since he lost his mother. This still doens't excuse how he ruined "Taylor Swifts" momment on Sun. I just hope this teaches him a lesson and he does take the time off he needs to change for the better.



    59. 459

      I wish people would be this passionate about what happened with Chris Brown. THAT to me was even worse than insulting Taylor Swift.



    60. 460

      i feel bad for him, i lost my mom too & it affects every1 different.. i was the one who didnt really care about shit it was like if my heart was taken out,my lil bro tho was the complete opposite.. & yes sometimes u rebel & u do shit w/out thinking & then ur like o wtf did i do? so w.e. he's sorry,i think time off would be good for him. we only human.



    61. 461

      I think everyone should learn to shut their mouth when someone apologizes. He knows he fucked up. Let go of the drama and move on for the love of God.



    62. 462

      dumbass



    63. 463

      Are you smoking crack and chugging hennesey. Taylor Swift will be bigger than beyonce ever will. "single ladies" should of won most annoying low budget video of the century. My suggestion would to put Kanye and Chris brown on bully beatdown. I'm not the only one that would love too see this. And then truly kanye can act like he's the victim for once, instead of doing it with his so called apologies.



    64. 464

      I felt bad for him for about a milli-second when he seemed to get choked up when asked about his mother. But then when he tried to blame his bad behavior on not having dealt with his mother's death, he just pissed me off again. You were rude and disrespectful - take responsibility for your actions and don't make excuses!



    65. 465

      KANYE WEST = YANKE STEW = social sludge in a human casing.



    66. 466

      That was one of the most disrespectful things I have ever witnessed in my entire life! He is the biggest douche and dick!! Taylor handled herself with dignity, but if that were me, I would have laid his racist, black-ass out. What a media whore.



    67. 467

      Re: soccergirlie003 – Oh give me a break! He is a big fucking liar!! It was all because his mom was brought up.



    68. 468

      Re: TopsyRe: Topsy – [re=4308640]Being drunk is no excuse for any bad behavior. Just go tell that to all the DEAD folks in their graves that got put there by drunk drivers. Oh wait, they were "under the influence so they are excused. What world do you live in? I know, you live in Al Sharpton Land! Those who live there can never do any harm and should anyone DARE and say they are doing anything wrong - well, they can call Al Sharpton, and throw a march in protest. I can promise you that MANY, MANY people, me especially have never, ever thought kanye west is cool. He is the ugly, down low punk I always presumed him to be. Never shed a tear for Michael Jackson, either. I stopped buying his stuff when he started sticking his speckled dick into little boys' butts. You end your msg by saying "I'm sorry to the people that are genuinely offended, but I'm just frustrated with this bullshit." Let me tell you what frustration is, Topsy. It's working your entire life to build a singing career and you are finally getting recognized BY THE FANS and getting an award when some ugly asshole jumps on the stage, forcefully takes the microphone from you and rants how someone else deserved the award. Read all the other comments, Topsy, you are in the grand company of just yourself with your opinion. One more thing, that name you use, Topsy, that's a bonafide slave name.



    69. 469

      Re: thefabulousB – What don't you understand about there being a time and place for everything. Guess you think it would've been ok for one of us to jump up and take the mike out of Obama's hand as he was being sworn in and started yelling that Bush is a much better man for the job.



    70. 470

      Re: dbabygirl81 – Take your rose colored glasses off. The only fucking thing this weasel feels bad about is HIM TAKING CRITICISM FOR THIS. I have yet to hear him even once say he was sorry. He didn't answer when Jay asked about his mother because he just doesn't get it and doesn't care.



    71. 471

      Wtf was he talking about, he just wants to help ppl?
      I think the whole remorse thing is fake, but I do agree that asking about his mom shook him. That's probly the only reason he's sorry because he knows his mom would be ashamed of how rudely he acted at the vma's.



    72. 472

      Re: ajolay – How nice of you to accept his "apology." And even nicer that you "accept." But it wasn't your moment of a lifetime he hijacked and ruined. After you have worked your entire LIFE to achieve a goal and you reach a height that Taylor Swift did, only to have someone SNATCH IT AND RUIN IT, then and only then do you have any "right" whatsoever to be on the receiving end of his "apology." I bet you are nowhere NEAR as gracious as Taylor Swift was.



    73. 473

      Re: Topsy – Every time I see your post I see RED, YOU ARE THE FUCKING ASSHOLE.



    74. 474

      Re: Strawberry_milk – You can take your nasty, SARCASTIC comments about Taylor Swift and shove it. You have NO idea of who she is and the music she sings. NO, I don't know ANYONE who has ever jumped on stage uninvited and stole the glory a little girl worked her entire life to reach. I'd sure like to see kanye try that stunt on Tim McGraw. But that won't happen because kanye only takes on little girls. You use "strawberry milk" but it is way obvious by your comments that it is really chocolate. You know if the skin color was reversed on that stage, we'd be weathering protest marches. Shut the fuck up.



    75. 475

      Re: lraien – Give us all a break. His mother died 2-years ago or something like that. You don't see Jennifer Hudson doing anything like that and she lost 3 precious family members. Go cry it to Al Sharpton. None of us here are buying it except maybe Topsy.



    76. 476

      Re: thefabulousB – Yeah, well, I'd like to see someone white doing what he did to a black singer. They'd be burning Watts again. Get real. You know how it really is. And for the record, he took away the glory of a little girl who worked her entire life for something like that award. I guess if someone had jumped up and took the mike from Obama as he was being sworn into office, you'd ok with that.



    77. 477

      Re: Strawberry_milk – By the way, just WHAT MISTAKES has Taylor Swift ever made? Come on, you are big on making accusations, tell us all about all these "mistakes" you stated she has made. Bet we don't hear a word from you.



    78. 478

      I LOVE KANYE!!



    79. 479

      I LOVE KANYE



    80. 480

      Re: Blk Beauty – Blk Beauty…sigh. It's people like you that make this world such a fucked place. Your racist, one sided rant of bullshit makes me sick. It's like you're saying we need to get over it just because Taylor Swift is white….uh, what the fuck does her skin colour have to do with shit? Kanye West stole the limelight from a young girl just starting her career, who also happens to be the biggest selling artist of the past 12 months- he's got his awards, Beyonce's got loads of accolades- let Taylor have a chance. But i'll bet that in your skewed mind if Taylor was black and a white guy crashed the stage you'd be crying 'racism' from the rooftops. Fucking hypocrite.

      And I bet if the president was white you wouldn't give a fuck if someone yelled something out.

      You're a racist bigot who's got tunnel vision. Wake up dickhead.



    81. 481

      Re: CORNDOGMAN – this coming from the guy whos avatar icon looks like he belongs in the kkk. nice one asshole.



    82. 482

      Kanye is a assshole and i willl never listen to his music ever again !! i used to like him now he is a nothing !!! TAYLOR IS A SAINT AND A AMAZING SINGERR!! i love herrr ! GOO TAYLORRR!!!!



    83. 483

      I think his appology is genuine. U all keep saying that he did it for attention and yet ur continuing to feed into it. Ya'll are going overboard sayin they wont buy his music anymore, blah, blah, blah. It's not even that serious. It happened on sunday; get over it already…



    84. 484

      Kanye should not be forgiven. He straight up disrespected Taylor. Believe me…this was a race thing. Im sorry. If that would have been any other black singer that would have beat Beyonce he would not have done shit. Kanye cannot even place himself in the league of Lil Wayne or Jay Z. Hes a punk ass bitch that whines when he is not being noticed. That fool aint even a gangsta.
      He aint never been on the streets or lived in the hood. And his music is not even that good. Im glad he finally showed everyone on tv what a douchebag he really is. What an asshole.



    85. 485

      Okay. So hes done blog, and tv. Now why doesnt he be a man, and apologize FACE TO FACE. She deserves that at least.



    86. 486

      Gaga shouldn't tour with that asshole. He's gonna bring her down with him, and shes been doing good -.-



    87. 487

      You know what? I think that this is the first time that EVERYBODY has actually agreed on something!

      That kanyes a douche!
      I knew this day would come :)



    88. 488

      Im watching Showbiz Tonight and apparently Taylor Swift did not accept his apology
