Default The Emmys

Mother of God the Charlies Angels faces look so tight, they can barely make any emotions......

Steve Carell totally deserved that lead comedy award....grrrr...

Yeah, but The Office won, so that was really cool. And Amazing Race, for the 4th year in a row!

How about Torri Spelling and her mom seated at opposite ends of the Shrine? Meeeoowww! Joan Collins still looks fab. And I've always thought Jaclyn Smith is one of the most beautiful women on earth!

I was happy to see Dick Clark out and about. That poor man...he's still got a ways to go w/ his recovery, but he really seemed in good spirits, so that made me happy.

All the women looked great - except I didn't think Candice Bergen's outfit was very flattering.

And all the men looked great - except Jeremy Piven, even though I was thrilled he won. I've said it before and I'll say it again - no man should wear an ascot unless you are Thurston Howell, III.

I called Bruce and left a message - "Purple is the new black." I was watching E! Not 30 seconds later, I switched over to NBC's coverage and heard Tim from Project Runway say the exact same thing.

Once again Six Feet Under overlooked and when it counts!!! Oh well they're number one in my book.
Speaking of Charlies Angels even though I wasn't even a glimiar in my parents eyes when they were on TV, I've personally always thought Kate Jackson was the coolest and prettiest Angel.
Also I missed what Gillian Anderson was nominated for. Can anyone tell me?

I cant wait for the Lifetime movie scene when they seat Candy Spelling to the right of the theater with her son and then seat Tori to the left. And the director instructs the camera men to be stationed in front of them at ALL points.
And what about the weeping widow routine that Candy pulled everytime the camera was on her?
I think we already have next years dramatic winner....

Farrah freaked me out. If purple is the new black, Farrah is the new Liza.
Nuff said.

How classy is Annette Benning? I adore her. Ditto for Stockard Channing.
And that was the BEST that Jane Kaczmerak (sp?) ever looked! Gorgeous!

The man that made me drool was McDreamy himself, Mr Patrick Dempsy.
Damn, he looked good.

I thought Conan did a great job of hosting. It was a fresh show.

Gotta love Dick Clark..bless his heart.

I thought Dick Clark looked MUCH better than Simon Cowell. What is up with his wardrobe? On IDOL he wears these ugly oatmeal colored tight t-shirts that do nothing but showcase his horrid man-boobs. And then, tonight, on the friggin' Emmy's, he refuses to wear a tie but shows off his sweaty upper torso that needs make-up and a trim. Get a gay friend or a new stylist, Simon.

Did I mention that Farrah looked like she needed another hit off that crack pipe ASAP?

All I have to say is that Katherine Heigl is GORGEOUS!!!

OMFG I could look at her for days (oh yeah, and Patrick Dempsey is pretty fine, too).

But anyway, it's a damn shame that she didn't get a nomination. Of all the ladies on Grey's Anatomy, her performance last season was by far the most memorable.

I only checked in here and there throughout the night. Is it just me, or were the dresses really boring this year?

How is it that I had no clue that the Emmy's were on?

It's ok I guess, being that I never watch them anyways. I have you guys to tell me the winners the losers and the upsets.

I thought the show was fantastic, from what I saw. Conan cracks me up anyway, and I really think he did a great job. The initial sequence? Hilarious. The opening plane crash part should have been edited out (I assume it was a reference to Lost, but with the recent events they could have taken that part out & it still would have made sense.)

Lost - "Dude. You shouldn't go down there." "Come on, don't you want to come too?" "Um, we weren't really invited this year."

South Park - "Dad, Conan O'Brian won't come out of the closet!" "Hey! Someone else is in here too!" Cartoon Tom Cruise walks out.


The musical "Gee, we're screwed" number was a hoot. And Bob Newhart. Scariest looking people - it's a tie between Farrah & Manilow. Paula Abdul looked ridiculous, and Simon's open collar with sweaty chest was gross. Dick Clark - good for him. He looked great.

"Mr. Jay" from America's Next Top Model was also sporting the no-tie-shirt-unbottoned-too-low-pimp-look. I am NOT diggin' it!

There really weren't any "upsets," that I could tell. Except for maybe Debra Messing losing to Julia Louis-Dreyfus, or for Will & Grace not getting best comedy series. But The Office is so deserving, I didn't care!

My favorite speech was the guy who pulled out the list of people he said he would NOT thank if he ever won something. Was that the Earl writer?

Here's a link to some pics. Having a hard time finding more for some reason.

http://celebritysource.blogspot.com/...my-awards.html

Deep dark eggplant purple is obviously the biggest trend right now.

I loved Kathy Griffin's dress, but I can't help but wish that she had gone with a purple too - would have looked fab with her hair.

Who the hell is Vanessa Minnillo? She looks like a hooker.

Sandra Oh - too much crap on her dress.

Tyra - she is one hot curvy sexy woman.

Debra Messing - shocked that she looked so good, I thought she's have been totally pasty & washed out in the dress. But it was great.

Heidi Klum - much better than previous atrocities I've seen her in. She looks good knocked up.

I think so. "I don't want to thank my second grade teacher, who told me to sit down & be quiet & that I wasn't funny. No thanks, Mr. Macadoo!"

E! has more:

I love Kyra Sedgewick, her dress was stunning but I wish it weren't such a pale color. Longoria - go back to brunette, honey. I hated Patrick Dempsey's hair, and Ellen Pompeo's slicked back do wasn't doing it for me either.
