I have the vp150 center channel and the m60's for fronts. They are connected to a yamaha rx-v1400. My problem is that on a song i forgot which one my tweeters will buzz for a second only on that part of a song. Does it a couple times. Make a weird sound. That happens with my fronts. Today I was watching Pirates of the Caribbean and the left tweeter on my center channel buzzed at a certain point in the movie. Is there a way for me to fix this.

This has occured in the past for some other posters here. Two things could be causing it: either the driver is not screwed in tightly enough, or the shielding magnet inside is loose.
In the first case, you can tighten the screws to fix the problem. If you still hear buzzing, you can unscrew the driver all the way, press the shielding magnet tightly onto the back of the driver, and then replace the driver and screw it in.
Before you do any of this, however, you should call Axiom and ask their opinion. Chances are they will instruct you to do what I said above. If you screw up somehow while following their instructions, they'll most likely send you a new driver for free.

it fixed my front speakers, but the left tweeter is still doing it on the vp150 center. Any other things.

Try swapping the left and right speakers, then play back the same section that causes the buzz. If the buzzing comes from the same channel (but different speaker), then you know it's the source material and not the speaker.
If the buzzing comes out of the same speaker again, I think you should call Axiom and get a replacement.

To make Peter's post make sense... switch the VP150 and one of the front channles. Not the left and right speakers...

This link is directly related your situation but really you should just call Joe at Axiom customer service.
