Kanye West is defended by VMA Host, Russell Brand

Last night, on the MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye West had a sudden outburst during the first award presented. During Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for "Best Female Video," Kanye West ran onstage and proclaimed, "I'm sorry, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time."

After the show, VMA host Russell Brand called into Ryan Seacrest's radio show. Brand said, "Calm down, no one died, it's all right," adding that Kanye became "a little bit excited" over Swift's win over Beyonce. "I've made mistakes and done things a little bit daft, if I think someone has done things that I don't agree with."

Kanye West posted an apology on his blog after being escorted from Radio City Music Hall. It was in all capitals. Along with the apology, he reiterated his opinion that Beyonce's video was "the best of the decade." Another "sorry" post was placed on his blog after it had crashed and was erased.

Tonight, on "The Jay Leno Show" premiere, Kanye West, along with Jay-Z and Rhianna, is set to perform.
