Taylor Swift Talks Kanye's Rude Interruption
Making for the most talked about moment at the MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift has penned a message regarding the rude interruption she received via Kanye West last night (September 13).
“Well, I was standing on stage because I was really excited because I had just won the award. And then I was really excited because Kanye West was on stage. And then I wasn’t so excited anymore after that,” Taylor tells.
The country cutie adds, “I’ve been getting so many text messages and everybody’s been really nice. So I’ve had a really, really fun night. It’s been interesting definitely. It’s definitely been an interesting night… I don’t know him, and I’ve never met him, so… I don’t want to start anything because I had a great night tonight.”
Then talking about Beyonce Knowles' gracious gesture to invite her onstage at the end of the night, Miss Swift explains, “They told me to stand by the side of the stage, and I didn’t really know what was going to go down. But I thought it was so wonderful and gracious of her to do what she’s always done. She’s always been a great person before anything else. Before the talented artist, the superstar, she’s always been a great person and I just, I thought I couldn’t love Beyonce more tonight, than tonight.”

Plot
Ten years after the Volée Air Flight 180 disaster at John F. Kennedy International Airport, a young man (Bobby Campo) and his friends escaped a race track disaster at McKinley Speedway after having a horrific premonition of their own demises, only to discovers that Death is claiming the lives of the survivors one by one in the order that they would've died on it. He and his girlfriend Lori (Shantel VanSanten), who is also one of the survivors and believes him, after learning the details of every previous disasters of the past decade since the aviation incident at JFK along with other people who also had premonitions of their own deaths from those events, they realize that they must race against time to find a way to cheat their deaths once more before they reach to their final destination.
Characters
Nick O' Bannon: Nick (Bobby Campo) is the male lead in The Final Destination and he is the one with the premonitions. He has some heroic characteristics and is dating female lead, Lori Milligan. Nick causes a commotion in the seats causing his friends and other angry people to leave the stadium. He is hit by a truck along with Lori and Janet, and the impact smashes him against the cafe wall, killing him. He is the last survivor of the McKinley Speedway. His original death at McKinley Speedway was to be impaled through the chest by a protruding metal debris after being pushed into it from a large explosion.
Lori Milligan: Lori (Shantel VanSanten) is the female lead in The Final Destination and she is the first one who believes Nick O' Bannon. She is smart and the kindest of the characters, she is also dating Nick. She chooses to follow Nick out the stadium because she is worried about him. She is hit by a truck, along with Nick and Janet, and breaks her neck. She would have been crushed by an escalator conveyor belt if it wasn't for the intervention of Nick. She is the tenth to die. Her original death at McKinley Speedway was to be burned by a large explosion.
Janet Cunnigham: Janet (Haley Webb) is Nick O' Bannon, Lori Milligan and Hunt Wynorski's friend, she used to date Hunt. Janet is one of the most emotionally fragile of the group and is always uptight and might have believed Nick and Lori about the premonitions, but she was too scared to want any part of it. She decided to leave the stadium because she was scared of a crash in the first place. She would have been beheaded or crushed by a pipe in the car wash if not for the intervention of Lori and George, as well as being impaled by exploding debris and nails at the theater if not for Nick. She is run over by a truck along with Nick and Lori, and is crushed by its front left tire. She is the ninth to die. Her original death at McKinley Speedway was to be crushed by the falling debris with Hunt.
George Lanter: George (Mykelti Williamson) is a security guard at the stadium. Prior to the McKinley Speedway crash he lost his wife and daughter in a car accident because of driving under the influence. He is having trouble not drinking and is generally mild-tempered because he didn't even attempt to defend himself when racist insults are aimed at him. He follows Nick out the stadium to make sure a fight doesn't break out in the group. He is run over by a speeding ambulance. He is the eighth to die. His original death at McKinley Speedway was to be burned by a large explosion.
Jonathan Grove: Jonathan (Jackson Walker) is a minor comic relief in the film. He wears a cowboy hat and has a southern accent. He has a sense of humor shown in the premoniton as well. He doesn't follow Nick out of the stadium because he doesn't want to be involved in a fight, but he doesn't die because Nick never asked him to move to another seat. He ends up buried under the debris, but alive. When recovered and sent to a hospital, a small pool falls on him through the ceiling from the floor above, crushing him. Jonathan is the seventh to die. It is unknown what his original death at McKinley Speedway would have been if he had changed seats.
Hunt Wynorski: Hunt (Nick Zano) is friends with Nick O'Bannon, Lori Milligan and previously dated Janet Cunnigham. He is somewhat insensitive and loves violence, and he follows Nick out the stadium to yell at him for ruining his game. His intestines are sucked violently down the drain in a pool and he is the sixth one to die. His original death at McKinley Speedway would have to be crushed by falling debris with Janet.
Andy Kewzer: Andy (Andrew Fischella) was dating Nadia Monroy and is a mechanic. He is rude and mean to everyone but Nadia, but somewhat changes after witnessing her death. He followed Nick out of the stadium to fight with him after Nick's hysteria annoys both he and Nadia. He is crushed into a fence by a flying CO2 canister, which dices his torso. He is the fifth one to die. His original death at McKinley Speedway would have been impaled by a sharp wooden plank through the mouth after falling on it.
Samantha Lane: Samantha (Krista Allen) is married and has two sons. She is somewhat spoiled and wants things done her way, but she is also kind and caring towards her kids. Samantha followed her sons out of the stadium, who had ran to watch the fight. A sharp stone flies right through her right eye when a lawnmower runs over it and propels it outwards. She is the fourth one to die. It should be noted that Samantha's husband and two sons are the only notably featured characters in the show who would have survived both the original speedway crash as well as being saved by Nick's intervention. Her original death at the McKinley Speedway was to crushed by a flying engine, after being trampled on by the escaping crowd and being separated from her family.
Carter Daniels: Carter (Justin Welborn) is married to Cynthia Daniels, and is a racist and member of the Ku Klux Klan. He is the meanest and rudest of all the characters and he blames George for his wife's death because George refused to let him back in the stadium after the crash, and makes many racist remarks towards him. He follows Nick out of the stadium to fight with him for spilling his beer on him. In planning to get back at George for "killing his wife" and trying to burn a cross on his lawn, he ends up burning to death while being dragged down the street by the hook of his tow truck. He is the third one to die. His original death at the McKinley Speedway was to have been sliced in half by a exploding piece of debris (probably a car bonnet).
Nadia Monroy: Nadia (Stephanie Honore) is Andy's girlfriend. She was spoiled by Andy and shallow and mean like him. She followed Nick out of the stadium because Andy was leaving the stadium to confront Nick. She is then killed right after when a tire from an exploding car lands on her. She is the second one to die. Her original death at the McKinley Speedway was to have an exploding debris land on her (much like her death later on).
Cynthia Daniels: Cynthia (Lara Grice) is married to racist, Carter Daniels. It is unknown whether she was a racist as well, but she seemed to do whatever Carter says without question. She didn't leave the stadium because Carter told her to stay back while he confronted Nick. Therefore she was killed by being sliced in half by exploding debris, just as in the premonition. She was the first one to die.

Charles Gibson
Charles "Charlie" deWolf Gibson (born March 9, 1943) is the anchor of World News with Charles Gibson, the ABC network's flagship evening newscast.
He became anchor on May 29, 2006, when the program was known as ABC World News Tonight. He also anchors the 5 p.m. EST Information Network weekday newscast on ABC News Radio. Under Gibson's leadership, ABC World News beat NBC Nightly News for the first time in several years. The two programs have now been in a dead heat, taking turns at the top among household viewers and the 25–54 age group prized by advertisers.
Gibson previously co-anchored ABC's Good Morning America for a span of nineteen years; first from February 1987 to May 1998, then again from January 1999 to June 2006.
On September 2, 2009, ABC News announced that Gibson will step down from ABC World News in January 2010, turning the broadcast over to Diane Sawyer.
Education and early career
Born in Evanston, Illinois, Gibson moved to Washington, D.C., when he was 12. He attended the Sidwell Friends School, a private college-preparatory school in Washington. In 1965, Gibson graduated from Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey, where he was news director for the university radio station, WPRB-FM and a member of Princeton Tower Club. He now serves on Princeton's Board of Trustees. Originally, Gibson planned to go into law, but he was turned down by many institutions as it was determined his grades were not sufficient for top-tier law school work. Gibson joined the RKO Radio Network in 1966 as a producer, but then switched gears given the Vietnam War, joining the U.S. Coast Guard and working as a reporter/anchor for WLVA (now WSET) in Lynchburg, Virginia as one of five employees. He then moved to WMAL-TV (now WJLA) in 1970, and took a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1973 before joining ABC in 1975.
ABC News
During the 1970s and 1980s, Gibson covered the House of Representatives and the White House for ABC News. Prior to anchoring ABC's morning show, Gibson worked as a reporter for World News Tonight with Peter Jennings. He sometimes co-anchored World News when Peter Jennings was reporting on location. He also occasionally substituted for Ted Koppel on Nightline. In 1998-1999, he was a co-anchor on the Monday edition of 20/20 with Connie Chung. On October 8, 2004, he moderated the second presidential debate between George W. Bush and John Kerry.
As moderator for the April 16, 2008, Democratic debate in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which was televised by ABC, Gibson along with co-moderator George Stephanopoulos was criticized in the The Washington Post and other media outlets for his selection of insubstantial, "gotcha"-style questions.
His interview on September 11, 2008, with Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican Vice Presidential nominee, was her first after being named John McCain's running mate. This interview received criticism of bias from conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer, specifically surrounding her hesitance in answering a question he posed about the Bush Doctrine. Gibson has said in a subsequent interview with Michael Kay on the YES Network's Centerstage program that he simply imagined what questions he'd ask Joe Biden under the same circumstance and asked them of Palin. As it turned out, he had asked identical questions of McCain, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in earlier debates and interviews in the spring of 2008.
Personal life
Gibson's wife Arlene is an educator who recently retired as Head of School at the Spence School in New York City. She has also held positions at other schools in New York and New Jersey, and was the head of the middle school at the Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore in the 1980s. She is a trustee at her alma mater, Bryn Mawr College.
Gibson has two daughters, Jessica and Katherine. On March 14, 2006, Jessica gave birth to Gibson's first grandchild.
On May 17, 2006, Gibson delivered the commencement address at Monmouth University's Class of 2006 graduation ceremony held at the PNC Bank Arts Center in New Jersey. He was also presented with an honorary doctorate in humane letters.
On June 17, 2007, Gibson delivered the commencement address to the class of 2007 at Union College's 213th graduation ceremonies. Gibson received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters during the ceremony, as well as a framed copy of his father's 1923 College yearbook entry. His father, Burdett, grew up in Schenectady, New York and graduated from the College in 1923. Gibson contributed an estimated $75,000 to Union College to help create the Burdett Gibson Class of 1923 Scholarship, which will be awarded annually to a deserving student in need.
Gibson donated $85,000 to Shenandoah University in Winchester at the request of his high school girlfriend, Dolores Pearse. She wanted him to establish the Pearse Gibson II Music Scholarship Fund in memory of his brother, who died in early 2006.
Retirement
At the end of the year 2009, Gibson is planning to retire and is being replaced by Diane Sawyer at the beginning of January 2010. His comforting presence made him an instant ratings hit at "World News" at a time the other networks had much younger anchors. But NBC's Brian Williams eventually passed him by and has been leading in the ratings for the past year, with "World News" a solid second.

The effect of Typhoon Morakot
After forming as a tropical depression over the Pacific Ocean about 1,000 km east of the Philippines on August 2nd, Typhoon Morakot built in power and moved quickly west. Over the past several days, the storm has passed over the Philippines, Taiwan and Mainland China, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage due to high winds, flooding and mudslides. Southeast China evacuated nearly 1 million people ahead of the storm, after Morakot broke many records in Taiwan, dumping a total of 2.5 meters (100 inches) of rain on the island. At least 40 people are known to have died so far, but hundreds remain missing - many from one village in Taiwan, reportedly engulfed by a mudslide during the storm
