Believe it or not, Kanye’s outburst wasn’t the only WTF moment at this year’s VMAs. Here are some of the most outrageous moments from the 2009 Video Music Awards.

Gaga’s melodramatic performance
Lady Gaga was really trying to drive home her point about paparazzi, fake blood and all. That said, what was the point of playing the piano with her feet? Like Chris Rock said, “You can drive a car with your feet but that doesn’t make it a good idea.”

Katy’s crotch grab
When Madonna mentioned crotch-grabbing during her MJ tribute, I don’t think she intended for Katy perry to attempt it.

Gaga’s cracked out acceptance speech:
As if it wasn’t enough to walk onstage looking like a bloody tampon, the acceptance speech itself was cracked out. Even Eminem looks genuinely concerned for her in this photo. Besides, you know you’re doing it wrong when Perez Hilton is cheering you on the whole time.

Lil Mama’s impromptu stage appearance
Says David D of TSS: “Lil Mama is confused. Don’t say “jungle” in your song if you don’t expect an orangutan to hop on the stage! geez”

Kanye’s bitchfest
Even by Kanye’s standards, this trumps every tantrum he’s ever thrown in public. Good thing his ghostblogger stepped in to apologize. Don’t be surprised to see a Kanye/Taylor Swift collaboration in the future.

    I hope Kanye gets his issues under control. His attitude is bad for business, I’m sure Good A$$ Job will be a classic though. Lil Mama really thinks she belongs on that stage? MC Lyte should speak to her and define greatness. Lady GaGa might push Britney off the map. Em really won for that video? Really?

    I cannot help but smile at Em looking so concerned for GaGa.

    I haven’t been surprised in a good way by Ms. Keys’ voice in a long while, but she sounded pretty good during that performance.

    Katy Perry has a ridiculous body. How is her grabbing her pussy on stage a BAD idea?
