Kanye West 'Needs To Take Time Off'

Kanye West has apologized again for the third time to Taylor Swift, and said he needs to "take some time out".

After ruining the teen's big moment at the VMAs on Sunday night as she was making her acceptance speech, the rapper wrote a pretty insincere apology on his blog, which was taken down hours later after being criticized by fans and the media.

He then wrote a second apology on his website yesterday, before giving a third "I'm sorry" on Jay Leno last night.

Kanye told the TV host: "I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I'm going to make it through the rest of this life, how I'm going to improve."

"My entire life, I've only wanted to give and do something that I felt was right. And I immediately knew in the situation that it was wrong, and it wasn't a spectacle... it's actually someone's emotions, you know, that I stepped on. And it was very... it was rude, period."

West also said the criticism he received following his stunt has been "extremely difficult" to handle.
