Kanye West has revealed it wasn't a sense of moralistic duty to the spirit of music that made him invade the stage during Sunday's Grammy Awards – it was the voices in his head.

Opening up about the few seconds he spent interrupting Beck's acceptance speech for his Best Album gong, Kanye admitted it was kind of a joke? But not a very funny one? And no-one really got it?

"You know, I felt like just the whole Grammys, right when that happened, everybody was looking at me, and then people started screaming, 'Kanye! Kanye! Go do it!'," he explained.

We like to think Aymee spent an afternoon sticking those little black decorations all over the side of her punchy yellow frock...

Was the theme for tonight's event The Hunger Games? We reckon dancer Keltie would be in some sort of industrial District if so.

Quirky singer Sia wore a MASSIVE wig and gave her fave dancer Maddie a mini me version. Weird and awesome all at once.

Oopsie! Paris clearly got lost on her way to Strictly rehearsals...

We can't imagine this is comfy around the crotch region. And that train would be well annoying in the loo.

Rihanna11 of 13

Rihanna

This dress is as nutty as it is pink. We can see it's mad but there's still something quite pretty about seeing BadGalRiRi in all of that pink froth. Plus, her make up is giving us EVERYTHING.

Jane Fonda12 of 13

Rihanna's stylist called this look "even c***ier" in the flesh. Yowzers.

People who do roadworks, listen up! That stuff you use to separate areas could also be used to fashion a LOVELY gown. NAHT.

"Okay, that didn't really happen, these were voices in my head. So the voices in my head told me to go up, and then I just walked up, like, halfway up the stage."

" You know, what I really wanted to do is just joke around with what had happened before [with Taylor Swift] but I just really didn't want to take away from Beck's moment or the time he's having to talk, because, you know, the Grammys, they play music really quick no matter who you are and everything," he went on.

"So I didn't want anything to take away from his screen time. So I just walked back down because, you know, it was kind of a joke, like the Grammys themselves."

Uh….huh. Nice pass-agg dig at the end there, Kanye.
