No Kanye needed this time, because during a radio interview yesterday Taylor Swift cut her own self off -- after the DJ repeatedly asked her about the VMA incident against her wishes.
It's all anyone cares about this week, but apparently the West situation wasn't a pre-approved "talking point" for her visit to the MJ Morning Show. After briefly addressing the controversy, Swift was done -- but the DJ wasn't.
The dude kept pressing the issue as Taylor told him three times to stop -- then her handlers stepped in and stopped the interview completely.
This is the same DJ who interviewed Miley Cyrus in June -- with the same result.

Kanye West has finally made the call.
Moments after Taylor Swift told the ladies of "The View" that as of this morning, Kanye hadn't called to apologize ... guess who decided to pick up the phone?
Reps at "The View" claim Kanye rang up Taylor right after she finished her segment and offered a big, fat apology for stealing her moment at the MTV VMAs this weekend.
Of course, Swift reportedly accepted the apology.

It was either the ballsiest move -- or the stupidest move -- Diddy ever made ... getting right in the face of a tough-talking hip-hop cop, not affiliated with the NYPD, and calling him a "mother f**ker" during an extremely heated confrontation.
It all went down Sunday night outside a VMA afterparty at 1 Oak -- the cop forcefully instructed Diddy to keep moving on the sidewalk ... to which the record mogul replied, "Lower your f**king voice when you're talking to me ... I'm a man just like you."
The cop then yelled back at Diddy, "I don't give a f**k who you are."
Diddy turned and shouted back, "I don't give a f**k who you are either mother f**ker!"
The two men continued to yell at each other until Diddy's entourage ripped him away.
According to MTV, Diddy eventually made it into the club. He later Twittered "I'm gonna say this, we should always have respect for each other! End of discussion" -- but it's unclear whether he was addressing this situation or the one between Kanye and Taylor Swift.

Kanye West has apologized twice on his blog and again last night on Jay Leno -- but according to Taylor Swift, she still hasn't heard a word from him personally.
Swift was on "The View" just moments ago and says she was "rattled" by West's stage rush ... but added she would be willing to meet and call a truce.

As soon as the VMAs ended, Beyonce Knowles wasted no time distancing herself from Kanye West's infamous hissy fit -- we're told Bey's camp almost "immediately" approached Taylor Swift to make sure she was okay.
Taylor's rep tells us Beyonce's father Mathew Knowles approached Taylor outside her dressing room once her subway car performance was over.
We're told Mathew wanted to make sure Taylor was doing fine after West's diss -- and they even discussed ways to make up for it.
Taylor's rep tells us the singer was mainly upset because she wasn't able to thank her fans for voting for her -- which was eventually made right when Beyonce invited her back on stage to finish what she started.
Taylor's reps tell us she had never met Beyonce or Kanye before the last night's weirdness went down.

This morning in NYC, Kanye West did what he should have done last night: Kept his damn mouth shut.
Before boarding a plane at JFK, West was asked about hijacking Taylor Swift's moment ... and for the first time in his life, had nothing to say.

Kanye West needs to stop. Seriously.
After
Taylor Swift -- who is just 19 years old, mind you -- won the award for Best Female Video at the VMAs, Kanye rushed the stage, took the mic from her and proclaimed Beyonce had "one of the best videos of all-time."
For her part, Beyonce looked completely mortified by Kanye's childish actions.

Janet Jackson has been busting her butt rehearsing for a Michael Jackson tribute at the MTV Video Awards this weekend -- and it promises to be a nipple-free affair. We think.
Ms. Jackson is set to put on a huge MJ-honoring performance featuring 20 backup dancers -- which is being put together by some of the best choreographers in the world, including Frank Gatson and Travis Payne.
According to one of the dancers involved, some rehearsals have lasted 15 hours a day.
Once Janet is finished honoring her brother, we're told, "there won't be a dry eye in the house."

The Jonas Brothers all wear purity rings -- but VMA host Russell Brand got in some serious hot water with his extremely impure jokes about the Disney virgins.
Humorless "Idol" champ Jordin Sparks ('memba her!?) defended the boys after Brand bragged he'd bag 'em all by the end of the night. Hope he stayed away from Nick -- that kid's only 15!

Once the Video Music Awards were over on MTV, the real partying began. Plenty of the evenings biggest stars hit the Atlantic Records post-VMA bash.
Our cameras caught Diddy, Paris Hilton, Snoop Dogg, Fantasia and Lil' Kim (ain't freedom grand?) among the bevy of stars that partied the night away. Earlier in the evening, we caught up with Pharell, Kanye West, Jay-Z and more at pre-VMA parties around Manhattan.
So as you can see, the VMAs are great, but the real partying takes place before and after the big show. Check it out in our VMA edition of Star Catcher NY.

The biggest names in music rocked Radio City Hall in New York last night for the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. While some critics have already panned the show as one of the worst in years, you can't blame the stars.
A leather clad Beyoncé rocked the house with her new single "Ring The Alarm," Shakira gyrated all over the place in belly dancing garb and Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz even brought a monkey to the red carpet.
Check out TMZ's gallery of the hottest people, moments and on stage performances from the evening. It might be easier than sitting through the three-and-a-half hour show again.

When female celebrities sport cute little messages on their clothing, it's usually in a very subtle manner. But that's not how Pink rolls.
After emerging from an LA area tanning salon, the singer was spotted rocking a devilish tank top with the phrase "Sun Your Buns In Hell" printed across the chest. It's fair to point out that in her VMA nominated video, "Stupid Girls," she hypocritically pokes fun at girls that get sunless tans. Guess that's one topic a little too hot for t-shirts.
