Lil Mama just tried to explain why she pulled a mini-Kanye last night at the VMAs -- issuing a non-apology for jumping on stage at the end of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' performance like she deserved to be up there.
Here's what Mama told MTV:
"I did not mean any disrespect towards Jay-Z or Alicia Keys. I admire them and look up to them as role models. 'Empire State of Mind' had my emotions running high. In that moment I came up onstage to celebrate my two icons singing about NY."
Rapper Lil Mama has just apologized for comments she made on "America's Best Dance Crew" this weekend -- after she went a lil too far while grilling a transgender dancer.
During the rant, Lil Mama -- a judge on the show -- told Leiomy Maldonado: "Leiomy, come on. Your behavior ... it's unacceptable ... You were born a man and you are becoming a woman. If you're going to become a woman, act like a lady ... It gets too crazy and it gets confusing."
After taking heat over her comments, Lil Mama sent the following apology to GLAAD:
"I would like to clarify anything that was misunderstood from Sunday's show. My remarks were never meant to be disrespectful regarding Leiomy's gender nor offensive to the LGBT community, which has been a community that has supported me in all my endeavors. However, in hindsight, I recognize that my words may have come across as hurtful. I spoke with her privately after the taping to express that it was not my intent to offend her or any member of the transgender community and that I still live for Vogue Evolution."
For reasons unexplained, the adorable Amanda Bynes was once again swarmed by the paparazzi -- and gave her parents their very first photo shoot.
Also in L.A.: Jessica Alba shopped with a non-pregnant look-alike, Mario denied he was getting down with his "Dancing" partner after-hours and Josh Duhamel acted like people never have babies before marriage.
In NY: Adam Levine was blinded by paparazzi, Terrence Howard was pimpin' outside Regis and Lil Mama avoided questions about her bash-happy brother.
Lil Mama's bro was pissed he couldn't get all his friends into a NYC club last night -- and got into a shoving match with the bouncers right out front!
The little "Lip Gloss" rapper actually regulated the situation and got him the eff outta there before the cops showed up.
