Kanye West may be needing more of that Hennessy because he has finally won something this year but he won’t be needing it to celebrate, no he will be needing it to drown his sorrows because he has just been named The King Of Fail for 2009.
One of my favorite sites in the world Fail Blog asked people to vote on who they thought was the biggest fail for the year and Kanye topped the with poll with 16%, in second place was major douche father Jon Gosselin with 12%.
Kanye also topped the most memorable fail moments of the year for his outburst at the 2009 MTV Video Music awards when he jumped up on stage and ruined Taylor Swift‘s night. He topped that poll with a huge 37%.

During a CNBC interview on Monday, President Obama called hip-hop artist Kanye West a “jackass” over his behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Kayne West interrupts the president.
Obama’s colorful remark was actually made in an off-the-record portion of the interview that was tweeted — and then deleted — by ABC News reporter Terry Moran.
“Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential,” Moran wrote.
Politico’s Michael Calderone has ABC’s statement apologizing for Moran’s journalistic breach.
President or not, he’s calling it like he sees it — Obama keeps things real.
Russell Brand faces being blacklisted by the American media after causing outrage with a string of offensive jokes at the live MTV Video Music Awards.
The Essex-born comedian labeled President George Bush a ‘retard’, called Britney Spears ‘the female Christ‘ and poked fun at young virgins.
Brand, 33, who was hosting the ceremony live, had already been forbidden by MTV bosses to mention the C-word or, more bizarrely, Scientology.
He began his opening monologue by saying: ‘Please, America, elect Barack Obama. On behalf of the world. Some people, I think they’re called racists, say America is not ready for a black president.
‘But I know America to be a forward-thinking country because otherwise why would you have let that retard and cowboy fella be president for eight years?’
He added: ‘We thought it was nice of you to let him have a go, because in England he wouldn’t be trusted with a pair of scissors.’
Onlookers caught sight of Britney Spears sitting straight-faced in the audience and refusing to clap.

Not everybody is laughing at Russell Brand at this year’s Video Music Awards.
Jordin Sparks spoke out against the British comedian’s jokes about the Jonas Brothers and their purity rings before introducing T.I.’s performance.
“I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It’s not bad to wear a promise ring,” Sparks, 18, told the crowd, off-the-cuff, “because not everybody – guy or girl – wants to be a slut.”
The former American Idol’s comments were met by an audible cheer from the crowd.
During his opening monologue, Brand had poked fun at the Jonas Brothers, suggesting that they should be taking advantage of their celebrity to win dates. (Brand, himself, is a famous lothario in his native England.)
Sparks has long spoken publicity about holding onto her virginity. She, too, wears a purity ring.
Later, Brand returned to the stage to offer an apology of sorts.
“I didn’t meant to take it lightly,” the host said about his purity ring remarks. “I don’t want to piss off teenage fans.” Still, Brand, whose apology soon morphed into a series of off-color jokes, said, “Promise rings, I’m well up for it. [But] a bit of sex, it never hurt anybody.”
