Heidi Klum and Tom Bergeron were supposed do a skit for the Emmys where Tom would catch Heidi as she swooned. Tom did make the catch, but then he let go. Later backstage, he was seen showing off the ass bruise he gave Heidi. Good job Tom. That’ll teach her. No one says “no” to Tom Bergeron of Dancing With the Stars. You hear? NO ONE!
Tits or GTFO has never been more poignant than at this moment. I read LA even gave Christina Hendricks’ breasts their own zip code: 9021-freaking-sweet.
The Emmys were Sunday and today is Tuesday. You could say this is late, but you could also say this is early. Yes, that’s it. Ha, fools. They’ll never figure out what I’m talking about. Oh crap, I wrote that out, didn’t I? See them all after the jump. More to come later so keep checking bak.c
The Sopranos went out with a bang and took home three Emmys for its final season, including best Drama. This was the Sopranos second win for best Drama, having earned the Emmy for the first time in 2004. None of the actors of the Sopranos were honored with Emmys this year, but both James Gandolfini and Edie Falco have won three separate Emmys for best actor and actress in a drama.
Minor controversies this year included a several second blackout after Ray Romano made a joke about his old costar Patricia Heaton f’ing her new costar Kelsey Grammar, and Katherine Heigl mouthing a swear word when she learned that she had won best supporting actress for a drama. Heigl said she didn’t expect to win and didn’t have anything prepared, but was sure to add that she’d worked 17 years in the industry and “worked her ass off.”
America Fererra took home best actress in a comedy and sounded a bit more gracious in her acceptance speech, saying “This is such an amazing, wonderful achievement. The award is to be able to get up and go to work tomorrow.”
Tina Fey quipped when 30 Rock won for best comedy that she wanted to thank the “dozens and dozens of viewers.”
And another censor happened at the end of Sally Field’s rambling two minute acceptance speech for best actress for her work on Brothers and Sisters. She criticised the war on Iraq when praising mothers saying “Surely this [award] belongs to all the mothers in the world. May they been seen, may their work be valued, and raised, and especially to the mothers who stand with an open heart and wait. Wait for their children to come home from danger, from harm’s way and from war… And to war, um um…. I am proud to be one of those women…”
At the end she tried to add “If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn’t be any god-damned wars in the first place,” and she was cut off after “God.” It’s a pretty good statement against the war, but she should have cut the speech shorter and put it in the middle so she wouldn’t get cut off.

There were some doozies last night at the Emmys, with Ellen Pompeo taking the crown for worst hair and makeup in a poofy updo with 60s eyemakeup and pale lips. Her dress wasn’t that bad, but the gold braided accessories just added to her dated, goofy look. Hayden Panetteire of Heroes wore a peach Marc Bouwer dress made of yards of fabric. She could have smuggled a sibling into the event under that dress. The top featured a brassiere with swirled design accented by a giant broach. An apt commentor on Just Jared said it was “a bad pregnant prom dress.”
Jennifer Morrison of House tried too hard in a silver one-shoulder flapper dress slit to the upper thigh that had too many pieces accented by thick lines and somehow managed to make the slender actress look like she had a tummy. It was pretty from the waist up, but it was too complicated overall. She almost didn’t make this list, as it’s not a terrible dress. Update: After seeing more pictures of Morrison’s dress, she definitely wasn’t one of the worst dressed and doesn’t deserve to be on this list. It only looked poorly cut from certain angles.
America Fererra, Eva Longoria, and Mary Louise-Parker all made Yahoos! best dressed top ten, but I thought their dresses were unflattering. Ferrerra usually looks gorgeous, but her Monique Lhuillier dress wasn’t cut well for her figure and I don’t like the weird spangly belt. Eva Longoria looked arrogant without reason as usual in a beaded Kaufman Franco that made her boobs look like tennis balls. She paired the silver dress with weird plain tan flats heels that look suited to a day at a country club, not an awards show. Mary Louise-Parker wore a red strapless gown that was decent, but the piece at the bottom flared out oddly and it was too tight all over.
Poor newly single Jenna Fischer of The Office looked ridiculous in a gray dress with gold leaves all over it and a big ‘ol bow underneath a strange gold braided belt. Just Jared quotes her as saying “I had to wear something that wouldn’t hurt my back,” as if trying to excuse her awful choice.
Mark Wahlberg’s wife, Rhea Durham, wore a peach cap-sleeve dress with a beaded top in a nipple-look starburst pattern and long skirt. I’ve seen it before, I’m trying to remember on whom, in another color. It wasn’t as unattractive in the other color from what I remember.
Edie Falco’s dress was too tight but would have been passable if it wasn’t for all the black and white beaded flowers scattered on it. The random pattern of the beading makes them look like mistakes that you want to pick off, as if she was hit by a wind filled with sticky little daisies.
