Taylor Swift found out that Kanye West was very sincere as the hip-hop artist apologized to her personally and she accept his apology.

The country crooner agreed that the widespread outpouring of support other artists and fans for her helped her deal with the situation. She is thankful that everyone showed her so much love.

West made a personal apology to Swift Tuesday morning, September 15, after watching her appear and perform on The View. He called her over the phone as soon as she finished her segment.

Kanye West blames the pain from his mom’s death for causing him to diss Taylor Swift at the recent VMAs as he admitted that he is ashamed that his pain caused someone else’s hurt.

The singer expressed that if there is anything he could do to help the country crooner in the future or help anyone, he would want to live this thing. He also wanted to apologize to Taylor in person.

He thought that his mom, Donda would have been disappointed in his behavior at VMAs. He only realized that he did something wrong when Taylor did not keep going as soon as he returned the microphone to her.

After dissing Taylor when he commented that Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time, Kanye West has posted his apology on his official blog.

The singer revealed that he is sorry to Taylor Swift, her fans and her mom. He spoke to Taylor’s mom and learned that he is wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment. He admitted that he is only being real and he felt bad for Taylor.

Fortunately, Taylor had her chance of her big moment when Beyonce won the Video of the Year award, the “Bootylicious” singer gave Taylor a second chance at a speech. Celebs reacted via Twitter throughout the award show, none too pleased with West’s antics.

Kanye West may have made a lot of boasts in his career, but claiming to be the new King of Pop following the death of Michael Jackson is not one of them.

The superstar rapper hit his official Web site to shoot down rumors that he’s taking the title from the late Michael Jackson.

“I was just listening to (radio host) Wendy Williams and heard some quote about me saying I’m the new King of Pop,” he wrote. “Not only did I not say that, I haven’t said anything.”

West also blogged that it upsets him that people would think he would make such a statement following Jackson’s death.

“It makes me feel bad that obviously I made people feel that I would be corny enough to say something so whack after the passing of an idol, a legend and more than that a human being with feelings and a family,” the star continued.

The “Stronger” performer said he is angered that the fake comments went viral on the Internet.

“It scares me to think what people will believe, without even a source,” he wrote. “Any random person can type something on the Internet and then the world believes it. I don’t talk to press or do TV or do promotions of any sort. I’ve stopped chasing and buying into fame. Fame is like cigarettes with no surgeon general warning. It destroys most people as it did to the true and only King of Pop. We exploit ourselves and eat our own egos ‘Till there is nothing left.”

And, West — who has previously blogged about being satirized on “South Park” and spoken out on other issues — vowed to no longer address the rumors about him.

“I have a feeling that this won’t be the last false statement with my name on it, but this will be the last time I defend myself. I’m done,” he wrote.

The world might get a double batch of singing “K” action soon: After American Idol winner Kris Allen covered Kanye West’s song “Heartless” during the competition, the rapper became a fan.

“Yo, Kris. Congratulations. Get ready for the big leagues,” Kanye congratulated the singer via a message on Extra.

Kris was listening to what Kanye put out there, and is grateful for the attention from the hip hop artist and entertainment mogul.

“Thank you for liking the song, Kanye. Thank you for writing the song,” he tells Extra. “The whole CD is amazing. Hopefully we can work together. That’d be great. Thanks for the congrats. I appreciate it.”

That’s one “heartless” duet that everyone would love to see!

Kanye West is reportedly dating supermodel Sessilee Lopez.

The hip-hop star is said to have grown close to the catwalk beauty after personally selecting her to appear in the music video for his single “Flashing Lights”.

A friend of Sessilee Lopez revealed: “Kanye was instantly smitten with Sessilee and it’s not hard to see why. But it’s more than just looks for Kanye, they get on really well and have a deep connection. Recently, Kanye has invited Sessilee to several parties and the pair have also had a few quiet nights together.”

However, it seems 31-year-old Kanye faces competition for Sessilee Lopez’ affections.

The American beauty, who modeled lingerie at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show in Miami earlier this month, is being romantically pursued by a host of handsome stars.

The source added: “Everyone wants a piece of Sessilee, she is one of the hottest models around. But she is very fond of Kanye though.” Kanye has been officially single since splitting from fiancee Alexis Phifer in April.

The pair are believed to have separated because Kanye West, who has just released new album “808s and Heartbreak,” was too obsessed with his career.

Alexis said at the time: “It’s always sad when things like this end. But we are still friends. I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavours. He’s one of the most talented people I’ve ever met.”

The Jonas Brothers expressed their wish to work with rapper Kanye West.

The band, which comprised siblings Kevin, Nick and Joe, have revealed they would love to collaborate with the rapper after listening to his new album ‘808s and Heartbreak’.

Nick Jonas explained: “We think Kanye’s new record sounded really cool, so that’s someone. But usually it’s cool to get to know somebody as a friend before forming a work relationship with them.”

The group also revealed they were desperate for an introduction to the ‘Stronger’ singer at the American Music Awards last weekend, but didn’t get to fulfill their dream.

Kevin Jonas revealed: “We got to meet Chris Martin and the guys from Coldplay. That to us is huge.

“We still want to meet Kanye. That is our next goal. On his next album, the songs we’ve heard so far are incredible.”

Nick, Kevin and Joe recently said they would be keen to work with ‘Womanizer’ singer Britney Spears.

When asked if they would consider performing with the star, Joe replied: “Oh yeah, that would be crazy!”

Meanwhile, Musicians Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas of the Jonas Brothers were also spotted while arriving at the book launch for “Burning Up: On Tour With The Jonas Brothers” at the Sunset Tower hotel on November 24, 2008 in Los Angeles, California.

Kanye West denied assaulting a photographer in a “bogus” incident outside a Newcastle, England, bar that led to the rapper’s second paparazzi-related arrest.

The rapper wrote in his blog: “When I left the club. I was encountered by a thirsty paparazzi as usual. He felt he had more rights to my space than me, so I put my hand up to prevent him from taking my image. I didn’t assault him.”

The 31-year-old hip-hop star, who is currently performing in the U.K. as part of his Glow in the Dark tour, also said: “I guess in all the commotion the camera scraped his nose.”

Three hours later, West states, five “very cordial” police officers arrived a his hotel room and explained that they had to arrest him because a complaint had been filed.

He continued: “That was the bogus part. They placed me in handcuffs and drove me to the station. They spoke about how this was obviously a publicity stunt by the photographer but they still had to go through the motions.”

Although arrested on suspicion of assault and detained, West was released without charge. According to Kanye, his reputation has taken a hit as he lamented: “Sure enough the next morning, plastered across every media outlet… Kanye Gets Arrested. It didn’t matter that I wasn’t charged or that I hadn’t assaulted anyone. All that mattered was that I was arrested.”

In the blog post, he also calls for strict laws to crack down on shutterbugs whose practices he deems intrusive.

He wondered: “When will there be a law passed that simply enforces that someone has to ask to have a photograph of you? That would seem like common courtesy. Right now the paps are above the law and the people they shoot are below it.”

This run-in with the authorities marked West’s second arrest this year, following a similar incident in September at Los Angeles International Airport, for which he was accused of damaging a photographer’s camera. He has not been charged in that alleged altercation.

Kanye West, who previously reported to trying to organize a date with Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe, has never been one for modesty.

The Grammy Award-winning American rapper revealed: “I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice. It’s me settling into that position of just really accepting that it’s one thing to say you want to do it, and it’s another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan.”

The 31-year-old rapper also slammed Justin Timberlake when he missed his chance to be a music MVP, saying: “There were people who had the potential to do it but they went on vacation, so when Justin went on vacation I made albums. And it just came out to be that.”

(Timberlake’s released his last album FutureSex/LoveSounds in 2006. West dropped a CD last year, and his newest disc, 808s and Heartbreak, hits stores Nov. 24.)

On a more sober note, Kanye West admitted he’s been struggling since the Nov. 2007 death of his mother, Donda as he said: “I’m just going through balancing that. And I always used to have that support system, you know. My mom would be there; no matter what, she was there before everything.”

He added: “We were together for like 30 years. And you know now when I’m on that stage and I look out and I say, ‘What am I going to do with the rest of my life?’ Like when does a real life start?’ Because I have sacrificed real life to be a celebrity and to give this art to people, which is great. It is great that I was able to do that, I’m not trying to shun that in any way, but it’s definitely a Catch-22, and it’s bittersweet.”

Kanye West is trying to organize a date with Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe, according to the reports.

The rapper posted a string of pictures of Jesse Metcalfe, who plays Mercedes McQueen, on his official blog.

A source revealed: “What Kanye wants, he usually gets.”

The source added: “When he spots a beautiful girl, there’s no holding him back.”

Jennifer Metcalfe previously dated Liverpool and England footballer Jermain Pennant.
