8 Insane Outbursts That Got Celebrities In Serious Trouble

4. Kanye West Ruins Every Awards Show

We all remember Kanye's last stage-crashing stunt: the VMAs where he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech so he cut undercut her win by saying that "Beyonce had one of the greatest videos of all time!" While that might have been a little tacky, it seems almost classy when compared to the stunt he pulled at the 2007 Europe Music Awards in Copenhagen. Having not been nominated for Best Music Video and thereby 'losing' to Justice & Simian, West stormed the stage and claimed that "if I don't win, the award show loses credibility," seemingly forgetting that he'd already won the award for Best Hip-Hop Artist. He believed his video for Touch The Sky should have won by a country mile for three reasons: 1. It cost a million dollars 2. It starred Pamela Anderson 3. He was jumping across canyons in it All compelling reasons, but arguing with the result after the fact just feels like bad sportsmanship, and only further cemented Kanye's diva status with both his peers and fans.
