Um

Used to express doubt or uncertainty or to fill a pause when hesitating in speaking.

Always the exemplification of ladylike class and elegance -- Amy Winehouse, after winning the Artists' Choice Award last night at the MTV Europe Music Awards, accepted the honor with a gracious "Um, thanks." Um, you're welcome, bitch.

''She clammed up, she had a moment there and didn't say anything (on the microphone), which is a little sad,'' R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe, who presented the honor to Winehouse, told AP Television News after Thursday's event.

Good one, Stipey. It is a little sad. It's also a little pathetic, a little disrespectful, a little insulting, and a lot ungrateful. Later Ms Winehouse slurred her way through a rendition of "Back to Black," but I'm surprised she didn't just dry heave into the microphone for five minutes before flipping off her fans and stumbling offstage. I guess a girl's got to have some standards.

Ironically this was probably the best speech of the night. If I have to hear another "artiste" talk about his/her gratitude towards god and producers for allowing him/her to pollute the airwaves I WILL PUKE.

Well played you hideous coke beast, well played.

In fairness, it was the MTV Europe Music Awards. She may have been rendered speechless by the sheer ennui caused by the mere existence of such an event. Maybe she was offering a helpful silence, e.g., "I'm refraining from talking about what a meaningless, empty 'honor' this is."

Naahhh, who am I kidding. She's a junkie monkey.
