Howard Stern critiques Taylor Swift CMA acceptance speech (video)
Howard Stern weighed in on Taylor Swift's CMA Entertainer of the Year acceptance speech on Thursday morning's installment of The Howard Stern Show. Howard Stern commented that Taylor Swift's CMA acceptance speech would have been more memorable had Kanye West dropped on to the CMA stage from the ceiling and interrupted her speech.
After Taylor Swift, who Howard Stern thinks looks 'kinda like Olive Oil' (in a hot way), won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video on September 13th, rapper Kanye West leapt on stage, took the microphone out of her hand and announced that the award should have gone to Beyonce. Taylor Swift's MTV VMA diss triggered a backlash of support from fellow country music stars and inspired a performance of 'Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Kanye' by Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley at Wednesday night's Country Music Awards. Kanye West's gross faux pas may have been one of the factors that won Taylor Swift Entertainer of the Year at the tender age of 19.
Howard Stern's suggestion that Kanye West drop in from the ceiling at the CMAs is a callback to his own memorable deus ex machina as Fartman at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1992.

I know this is off-topic, but did anyone else follow Robin's logic on why the David Letterman case may not be extortion? The situation does sound like a case of blackmail rather than outright extortion. The difference being that Joe Halderman would have had to come about his position of leverage over Letterman via some precursory illegal act. Funny thing is, he wasn't indicted for either, but rather attempted grand larceny.

If she has everything she ever wanted, I guess she can quit now, right?
Got something to say?
