November 8th Conan O’Brien will grace the airwaves once more. This time on TBS. He’s been working on the show and has finally come up with the title. If this is any indication of the all the hard work they’ve been putting into the show then I think we’ll all have a lot to look forward to.

This past Saturday over the course of an hour and a half and 78 tweets, Kanye West finally apologized to Taylor Swift for interrupting her acceptance speech at the 2009 VMA Awards for Best Female Video. Kayne felt that Beyonce should have been the winner and was not shy about letting the world know this.

Here you can read in full his breakdown of what happened and how he currently feels about the situation (in 140 and less increments). You can always follow him @KanyeWest and her at @TaylorSwift13.

Man I love Twitter… I’ve always been at the mercy of the press but no more… The media tried to demonize me

They wanted yall to believe I was a monster in real life so you guys wouldn’t listen or buy my music anymore

I feel like they were waiting for the opportunity to go in all the way on me and when it came they beat me to a pulp

Even now a lot of articles start there first 2 paragraphs about how much of an asshole I am

I accept the idea (ideal) that perception is reality

When I say perception is reality I mean whatever you think is the truth… is your truth

Some people’s truth is Kanye is racist… It’s not my truth but I do believe it’s my Karma…. walk with me…

Even though the NBC telethon was widely praised yall didn’t think they was just gone let me get away with that did yall???!!!

With the help of strong will, a lack of impathy, a lil alcohol and extremely distasteful & bad timing … I became George Bush over night

How deep is the scar… I bled hard.. cancelled tour with the number one pop star in the world … closed the doors of my clothing office

Had to let employees go… for the first time I felt the impact of my brash actions … I felt the recession from an ownership side

People booed when I would go to concerts and the performer mentioned my name.

A group of students (I have word they are from the Physics Department) transformed Carleton College’s Goodsell Observatory into a massive R2-D2. The college is located in Northfield, Minnesota and is small private liberal arts college.

Although no one has officially come forward and taken responsibility, there is word that all the modifications were either draped or taped onto the dome causing no harm. Nothing was defaced or spray painted and there is no lasting damage.

This is one of the cooler, certainly geeky, pranks I’ve seen. It’s masterfully executed as well. In addition to just looking like our favorite droid from Star Wars, the gigantic R2 unit also emits all of his familiar beeps and bops. Hats off to the group of students who played this awesome “prank”, we salute you.

Oh George, you sure know how to party. Looks like he’s getting himself into a heap of good times and possibly trouble. These dollar bill redesigns are pretty impressive…but I’ll be honest with you, they would be a whole lot moreso if it were Benjamin Franklin partying it up.

I wonder if this is in Long Beach, California. If it is I’m heading there this very moment. Even if the Doggfather isn’t the proprietor I’ll still be more than enthused to be a patron of this awesome restaurant. First off, Phở is amazing…and second, anything that remotely related to The Big Boss Dogg gets my vote.

This is making me extremely hungry right now. I can only imagine the combination of West Coast rap, some “Sticky Icky”, and a big ol’ bowl of Phở. If more shops like this open then the Vietnamese might start to gain look more like the Americans around the waistline.

If your parents loved you one iota at all you’ve been to either Disneyland or Disneyworld and rode the amazingly awesome Star Tours. If you never got the chance to partake in one of World’s greatest rides, I feel for you, because they’ll be shutting down at both locations soon.

Good news though. Star Tours II will be taking their places come Fall 2011. Soon you’ll be able to jump in your Starspeeder and visit Endor among a few other planets. I know I’ll be there opening weekend for this badboy. I wouldn’t miss it for nothing.

Oh the difference a day will make…and the difference the Internets versus the real world makes. Congrats to John and Leo on exploiting this young gal and getting all the attention they wanted (undeserved or otherwise), I’m sure she’ll have a bunch of people asking to take their picture with her…right after she brings them their Iced Tea. If you’re unfamiliar with the whole Jenny DryErase (HPOA Hoax) than you must have not been on the interwebs the last two days.
