1) An apparently drunk Kanye West callously stole the spotlight from country superstar Taylor Swift last night, moments after she won at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Swift was giving her acceptance speech after copping the award for Best Female Video when West stormed onto the Radio City Music Hall stage, stole the microphone and dissed the beautiful young songbird, declaring that Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies [Put a Ring On It]” should have won.

“Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!” the rap star blathered as boos filled the hall. “One of the best videos of all time!”

2) Lady Gaga was a triple threat at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards, parading about in a hat trick of increasingly bizarre outfits. She began on the red carpet clad in a frill of black feathers and a golden half-mask. Then she donned bloody white lingerie — having feigned being struck by a falling chandelier — to sing “Paparazzi.” She finally turned up in her seat wearing a red sheath that covered her from head to thigh, capped by a fiery crown of spiky fabric.

No wonder she won Best New Artist.

Gaga was just one of the attractions of a night that saw Kanye West booed repeatedly for stealing Taylor Swift’s moment in the spotlight, Madonna cheered for a moving tribute to Michael Jackson and Robert Pattinson screeched at just for showing up, being hunky and showing a new clip of his upcoming film “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.”

3) KANYE, the people have spoken — and we are done. You are not the voice of your generation. You are not Jesus Christ. You are not Beyoncé’s spokesman.

And you need to lay off the Hennessy as you strut down the red carpet with your weird, bald she-beast of a girlfriend and your awful zigzag haircut during the pre-show.

For real.

FACT: Yankees star Derek Jeter is the most eligible bachelor in New York, and therefore the world.

Fact: He could have any girl he wanted.

Fact: He wants . . . Minka.

That would be Minka Kelly, a beautiful 29-year-old actress. Kelly and the Captain have been dating for more than a year, and rumors abound that the two are secretly engaged, while her friends are buzzing that, for Jeter, she’s “the real deal.”
