Kanye pulls a Kanye at Grammys

West, in perhaps a tongue-in-cheek gag on his infamous outburst rushing the stage in protest at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, approached album of the year winner Beck on stage before flashing a quick grin, waving his hand and retreating.

“That’s what’s great about live television,” said Neil Portnow, the president of the Recording Academy.

“Whatever happens is part of the culture of the people in the room,” he added.
