Emmys Worst Dressed: Kristen Bell

Heroes has several of its blond beauties on our list - and at both ends of the spectrum. Unlike Ali Larter's to-die-for red ensemble, newcomer Kristen Bell's sky blue dress looked exactly like a terrycloth shower wrap my mother used to own.

Emmys So-So Dressed: America Ferrera

We are totally still on the fence about Ugly Betty herself, America Ferrera. We think the show is one of the absolute worst on TV and she was awful in the craptacular Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - but America the actress is pretty cute.

Her face looks great here but the dress...good color, poor execution. And too much tummy on display. It would be cute if that was a baby bump - but it's not. When people say, "You look beautiful; are you pregnant?" it's time to go a size up in the dress. It's not a huge deal - just one size up.


We also just read on Wikipedia that her smile is insured with Lloyd's Of London for $10 million. We were shocked. We could see it if it was Betty Grable's legs or Celine Dion's voice. Ferrera has a pretty smile but almost everyone in Hollywood has a pretty smile.

PS. Here are some fun videos of her from the Emmys and other award shows. Famous people always think 'things happen for a reason' because they happened to them.

Emmys Best Dressed: Ali Larter

Best and Worst Dressed lists abound online but our personal fave was Heroes' Ali Larter.

The girl owns red.

This looks stunning. There is nothing about this picture of her that isn't gorgeous.

Emmys Bomb Big Time

Proving once again that nobody likes Ryan Seacrest except maybe his mom, the ratings for the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday were abysmal.

"Preliminary figures from Nielsen Media Research put the audience for Sunday's show, aired on Fox, at 13.1 million viewers. That's 3 million fewer than for last year's telecast, on NBC, and less than the record low 13.8 million three years ago on ABC."

The big excuse being offered is that the Emmys were aired against a big football game (the San Diego Chargers got creamed by the New England Patriots - including Bridget Moynahan's baby daddy, Tom Brady) but we prefer to blame Seacrest. The man is proof that execs don't listen to the public. He gets made fun of all over town for his over-the-top corniness and big phony TV personality but we still see his face everywhere.

News - Kathy Griffin's Emmy Speech To Be Censored

Comedienne and actress, Kathy Griffin finally won an Emmy for her show My Life on the D-List but the road to the top may have a few more bumps before she makes it.

Her acceptance speech, while amusing many, has outraged some who called it blasphemous and hate-filled.

When accepting her award, Griffin said, "a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus. Fuck you, Jesus! This award is my god now!"

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences stated Monday that "Kathy Griffin's offensive remarks will not be part of the E! telecast on Saturday night."

We can totally take this kind of joke but we recognize that personal priorities account for different levels of offense in different groups. We hope this gets resolved to everyone's satisfaction.

PS. Doesn't she look like Desperate Housewives', Felicity Huffman, here?

"D*&$ In A Box" Wins Emmy

That crazy Andy Samberg, recent and amazingly popular addition to SNL, has teamed up with the likes of Natalie Portman and Tom Hanks to bring viewers musical comic gold. But it was his collaboration with former *NSYNCer Justin Timberlake that won both artists the Emmy for Best Original Music and Lyrics on September 8th. ("Dick in a Box," Above.)

We love Timberlake as a guest on SNL, from this to his stint with Jimmy Fallon as Bee Gees Barry and Robin Gibb.

We're also a huge fan of Andy Samberg and Tom Hank's music video, "Don't Cut My Testicles."
Pure silliness. We love it!

Congrats, boys.
