Kanye West is a Douchebag, but Beyonce Saves the Day by her Inherent Classiness

In the above video, Kanye West inexplicably decides to steal the spot-light from new-comer Taylor Swift in order to "praise" Beyonce. She just won her first award and Kanye decides to point out that Beyonce is somehow more deserving of praise at that particularly moment. Beyonce, in the audience, is of course horrified (because she's a classy lady). Kanye is an attention grabbing jerk. In the video below, during her award for best video, Beyonce invites Taylor back to accept her award. Unfortunately is always seems to take a woman to clean up a man's mess, but Beyonce inherent grace is more than up to the job.




Why do I mention this on a health and wellness blog? Well, number 1, Beyonce is a great example for women to withstand the pressures of sickly-skinny--she is a slender woman by any standards except the very narrow constraints of Hollywood. She has talked honestly about her struggles and how hard it is to maintain sanity in that environment. And I think that her healthy relationship to her body also contributes toward her grace and dignified presence in an industry where many narcissists and destructive personalities (yes, Kanye, that was a jab at you) must be dealt with on a constant basis. We all have to deal with these kinds of people on occasion, but rarely, dear reader do I suppose you have to deal with them in front of millions of viewers?

So, thank you Beyonce for your sane and talented presence in our collective popular culture.
