Kanye West apparently annoyed "American Boy" singer Estelle during some recent European appearances together because he tried to play his album for her non-stop in her dressing room. She should be thankful that's all he did in her room.

West was so excited after making up with the MTV Europe Awards that he just couldn't contain himself – literally.

West, who shared a dressing room at the show with English pop duo The Ting Tings, stunned them when, instead of finding a washroom, he decided to mark his territory and relieve himself on the floor.

"We ask for a lot of unusual things on our backstage rider but that ain't one of them," Ting Tings drummer Jules De Martino told the U.K.'s The Sun newspaper.

West received the ultimate urban MTV award the next night at Liverpool's Echo Arena. The crybaby, who loves rushing stages and complaining when he doesn't win, previously stormed the stage at the 2006 MTV Europe Awards and argued that he should've won the best video category over Justice, stating that if he didn't win, "the awards show loses credibility."

In other weird news, '80s star Rick Astley was named the best act ever. Fans voted online for the category, which also featured more current nominees like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Green Day and U2.

Astley recently saw another rise in popularity after the massive internet revival of his 1987 video for "Never Gonna Give You Up" in a phenomenon dubbed "rickrolling," where someone provides a link they claim is relevant to a topic, but instead leads to Astley's video.

Astley wasn't on hand to accept his award from host Katy Perry and presenter Perez Hilton, who said Astley was "too shy" to appear. Check out his makeshift acceptance speech:
