KANYE WEST WAS NOT THE FIRST TO INTERRUPT A MAJOR AWARDS PRESENTATION- I'LL GIVE THAT HONOR TO 'OLD DIRTY BASTARD [don't you just love these creative names that entertainers come up with so they can take your money?]
The evening following the traffic accident, Jones rushed on-stage unexpectedly as Shawn Colvin took the stage to give her acceptance speech for "Song of the Year" at the Grammy Awards, and began complaining that he had recently purchased expensive clothes in anticipation of winning the "Best Rap Album" award that he lost to Puff Daddy. As Colvin took the stage to a round of applause, he implored the audience, "Please calm down, the music and everything. It's nice that I went and bought me an outfit today that costed a lot of money today, you know what I mean? 'Cause I figured that Wu-Tang was gonna win. I don't know how you all see it, but when it comes to the children, Wu-Tang is for the children. We teach the children. You know what I mean? Puffy is good, but Wu-Tang is the best, Okay? I want you all to know that this is ODB, and I love you all. Peace!" His bizarre on-stage antics were widely reported in the mainstream media.

Kanye West gave a performance that will never be forgotten at the MTV Video Music Awards, but unfortunately for him, it had nothing to do with his music.
The rapper stormed on stage to unleash an astonishing rant during an acceptance speech by country starlet Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards last night.
The 19-year-old singer, who was collecting Best Female Video for You Belong To Me, was left humiliated as West snatched the microphone from her hands.
He turned to the audience and shouted that the gong should have gone to his big friend Beyonce, for Single Ladies.
The hip hop star, who had been swigging Hennessy cognac on the red carpet earlier in the night, was booed roundly by the celebrity-packed audience of thousands.And it was only the first category of the night.
Swift had breathlessly began her speech with the words, 'I always wondered what it would be like to maybe win one of these some day, but never actually thought it would happen'.
But before she could continue any further, West leaped from his seat in the audience, ran onto the stage and rushed to grab the microphone as a bemused Swfit struggled to take in what was happening.
West told the stunned star: 'Yo Taylor. I'm really happy for you, I'm going to let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.'
Cameras cut to Beyonce in the crowd who looked shocked and mortified.
As West shrugged his shoulders and handed back the microphone, a shell-shocked Swift stood in the centre of the stage seemingly unable to continue.
However, she was given another chance to say her piece when Beyonce did win an award for Single Ladies, in the Best Video category.
First she told the audience about her first VMA win as a 17-year-old with Destiny's Child and how much it meant to her and then she sportingly brought the teen singer back on stage to huge applause.
The pair, both dressed in bright red, embraced before Beyonce passed the microphone to Swift.
Wes was ejected from the awards show at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
He apologised for his outburst on his blog later.
He wrote: 'I'm sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom.
Taylor Swift Goes Gangsta!America's teen country darling Taylor Swift is shedding her angelic, virginal image and co-opting something a little more street. The 19-year-old wannabe hardcore rapper rehearsed with T-Pain in Nashville on Tuesday.
