Emmy Awards Reality Hosts Get Black and Blue and Boo
Oprah wowed in red as she opened the show after the cool What's my line? clip but unfortunately following her was the reality hosts talking about nothing. It was almost as uncomfortable as watching Ricky Gervais ask for his Emmy back from Steve Carell. Yes it was funny but I was getting a bit worried that Steve was going to cry or beat the crap out of him. Other quick thoughts: Steve Martin, Genius. Josh Groban, surprisingly cool! Neil Patrick Harris and Kristin Chenoweth, favorite presenting couple. C
2008 Emmy Men: Mark Wahlberg Needs No Entourage
If you're a guy, most likely, you're just going to show up to any given
fancy red carpet event wearing a tuxedo. Seriously, it's like a sea of
well-behaved penguins. But a guy always looks good in a tux, so why
mess with a recipe that clearly works?
First off, we have Mark Wahlberg who I believe showed up to the 2008 Emmy Awards alone and looking very happy and with good reason.
He looks very debonair to be sure, but I still don't understand why
guys do that half beard, half stubble nonsense. It just loo

No matter how lame and rushed the three-hour Emmy broadcast was, we'd happily watch it again just to see Tina Fey keep winning. Our favorite crush saw her 30 Rock receive seven awards, including Best Actress in a Comedy Series and Best Comedy Series. Good thing she was seated in the front row!
Ms. Fey wasn't the only Emmy darling: Mad Men, a shocked Bryan Cranston for Breaking Bad and a totally deserving Jean Smart for Samantha Who? were among the nights big winners. In case you didn't stick with the sho
The Emmys: They Postponed a New Episode of ‘Mad Men’ for This?

Mad Men was the most nominated drama series at this year's 60th Primetime Emmy Awards, and, as a tribute, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences did practically everything in its power to make us even more upset that last night's planned new episode was postponed until next week, forcing us to watch the Emmys
Heidi Klum On J.Lo Missing 'Runway' Finale: 'She Is Fantastic, I Believe Her'
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Jennifer Lopez might have been forced to miss the "Project Runway" season finale due to a foot injury, but host Heidi Klum doesn't feel that the singer stepped on her toes by pulling out at the last minute.
Access Hollywood's Billy Bush and Nancy O'Dell caught up with a stunning Heidi Klum on the red carpet just before she co-hosted the 2008 Emmys with fellow reality show host nominees Ryan Seacrest, Tom Bergeron, Howie Mandel and Jeff Probst.

Reality Hosts Entertained at the Emmys
Having the first ever Emmy nominees in the category of Outstanding Reality Show Host share the hosting duties for this year’s Emmy Awards was a fun idea. Even though at times they rambled a bit too much, they did add a comic touch to the show. Here are a few photos of Jeff Probst, Heidi Klum, Tom Bergeron, Howie Mandel & Ryan Seacrest during the event:

60th Primetime Emmy Awards Red Carpet Pictures
Sunday night was the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards and the celebs did not disappoint on the red carpet. It was a fashion extravaganza with lots of long gowns, beading, jewels and mermaid style dresses.
I have to say that Vanessa Williams totally caught my eye. She looked GORGEOUS and that dress was beautiful. I think it’s safe to say she stood out the most to me as one of the best dressed ladies of the night. I LOVED her dress. It was so different and very pretty/elegant.

The men left all the color to the ladies on the red carpet at the Emmys last night, keeping it tame in their dapper suits and tuxes. True to form, the Entourage boys walked and posed together, while Jeremy Piven and John Krasinski held their own with their hands in their pockets. Diddy Hammed it up as usual, and Patrick Dempsey, Jon Hamm, and Neil Patrick Harris added just a little more dreaminess to the equation. Mark Wahlberg took a break from his newborn baby boy to hit the red carpet. While most of th

TV Review: Emmycast Tries To Get Real, And Flops
There have been boring, listless and otherwise ham-handed Emmy broadcasts among the past 59. Sunday's Emmycast was all of those things. But ''The 60th Primetime Emmys'' also seemed an inadvertent homage to the 100 days of the Hollywood writers strike last season, when the shows that were able to continue demonstrated what TV without writers is like.
ABC's Emmycast seemed to recapture that dreary world, despite the strike having been settled seven months ago, and the credits for the Emmycast listing writer
