Some people never learn. It felt like 2009 all over again when Kanye West stupidly protested about Beck's Album of the Year award win at last night's Grammys. Only this time, he got a little help from his wife, Kim Kardashian, and friends, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, who posted a silly, immature photo showing exactly how they feel about the singer's win.
Remember the douche chills we all got when Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech in '09? Well, deja vu. Proving that he absolutely must be in the spotlight at all times, Kanye stormed the stage as Beck accepted his award, but somehow managed to exhibit enough self-control to stop himself before saying anything stupid.
He didn't, however, hold back from slamming the singer off-stage, leading lots of folks who originally assumed he was poking fun at himself on stage to wonder whether he really did intend to protest about Beck's victory.
During a post-show interview, Kanye reportedly told E!: "I just know that the Grammys, if they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain't gonna play with them no more. And Beck needs to respect artistry and he should've given his award to Beyonce."
Is this guy for real?! Does he consider himself the one and only arbiter of true talent?
More importantly, as his wife and friends, shouldn't Kim and company keep quiet or, even better, remind Kanye to mind his manners and stop embarrassing himself?
Apparently not. Kim posted this photo of the trio at the show on her Instagram with the caption: "This is the Beck won that award face?!?!?!"
Have adult celebrities become more and more like high school bullies and jerks or has it always been this way?

If you are so dead set on not exhibiting an iota of grace, then, by all means, chit chat at the after party about how you feel that Beck didn't deserve the award. Giggle about it. Make stupid faces.
But how do they think this sort of small, petty behavior is acceptable from adults? Beck won. Get over it. Say "congratulations" and, for once in your life, keep your thoughts to yourself.
Here's the moment Kanye made it known he must be on stage at all times:
