Kanye West has offered an apology for the tacky and classless tomfoolery he pulled at Sunday night’s 2009 Video Music Awards.

Taylor Swift picked up her first Moonman for Best Female Video for “You Belong To Me” at Sunday night’s ceremony but didn’t have the chance to finish her acceptance speech, thanks to the Grammy-winning egomaniac, who took the stage to interrupt her and praise pal Beyonce, who was nominated for “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).”

Beyonce won the Video of the Year moonman for her 2008 video “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” at Sunday night’s 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in New York; but instead of offering a long-winded acceptance speech, the R&B hitmaker gave the microphone to country crooner Taylor Swift, who accepted her award for Best Female Video.

Earlier in the night, Taylor was callouslly ambushed by Kanye West — who declared it was Beyonce who deserved the award — in the middle of her thank you notes.

“[I remember] I was up for my first MTV award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life,” Beyonce said. “So I’d like for Taylor to come out and have her moment.”

Taylor then took the stage in a red dress that matched Beyonce’s, thanking the fans “on Twitter and MySpace and everyone who came out to my shows this summer,” as well as those who had worked on her video for “You Belong With Me.”

Beyonce performed “Single Ladies,” “Diva,” and a medley of other hits at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in New York on September 13.

Janet Jackson performed a tribute to her brother Michael at the 26th annual MTV Music Video Awards, live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday. A montage of the star’s songs and videos played, including “Thriller,” “Bad,” “Smooth Criminal” and finally, “Scream,” the duet that won Michael and Janet a VMA in 1995.

Michael’s friend Madonna took the stage to open the ceremony, telling the crowd that the late pop star had been a “King” – but also human.

“He was so unique, so original, so rare,” the Pop Queen said. “He was a king – but he was also a human being. We are all human beings and sometimes, we have to lose things before we appreciate them.”
