EMMY AWARDS-RED CARPET-LIVEBOG -Hour 2

7:00-Amy Poehler. Black. Strapless. At least her gown has an interesting silver detail around the bust.

7:01-Kaley Cuoco. I finally got a better look at her red-gold metallic number. It is like liquid and is quite lovely and sexy without being over the top. Perhaps I am prejudice since I love her show. Nah, the dress really is all that.

7:03-Wow! Not black! Thank you Vanessa Williams in a turquoise, old-Hollywood number.

7:04-Dove grey is a very hard colour to pull off but Kate Walsh does it very well.

7:05-Sandra Oh's strapless, pale gold dress is perfect. I really love her crazy, fashionista footwear choice: red shoes. She is one of those women who take risks with their clothes. They don't always pay off, but they did tonight. Bravo!

7:09-Apparently, only white chicks dig vampires. Thanks for that clarification, Nene.

7:10-I want to get a closer look of nominee Rose Byrne's beige-y, lacey, princess number. I just think I might like it. Hopefully, she will oblige by winning so that I can get a better view.

7:14-The Lonely Island guys! I love them--especially Andy Samberg ( one of my not-so-secret crushes).

7:16-E! is scrolling all kinds of trivia and quotes at the bottom of the screen. Only upon reading the words "Blake Lively on the difficulties of being an actor" was I reminded that she does, indeed, act. I have a tendency to confuse her with reality "stars" such as Lauren Conrad or Heidi Montag. So sorry, Blake. Really.

7:19-Kudos to Kyra Sedgwick fo wearing pale pink (alhtough I personally do not like the colour).L'Wren Scott is not one of my favourite designers but Kyra looks lovely.

7:20-'American Idol' judge Kara DioGuardi is wearing a white, flowy, caftan-esque gown that bears closer inspection. They are not making much use of the Glamcam 360 on tv and, when they do, it is kind of odd.It reminds me of the 3D program that Angela on 'Bones' uses to recreate human remains into a life-sized image of the dead person.

7:26-I am entirely impervious to Sarah Silverman's appeal but her dress is not bad. Strapless, dark blue, slightly New Lookish. The worst thing I can say is that it is slightly ill-fitting in the bust.

7:28-Christina Applegate's midnight blue dress is ridiculously gorgeous. It drapes perfectly and has a lovely metallic detail at the waist. This dress can come live in my closet. Please.

7:38-Blake Lively. Low-cut red Versace, great back. Silly pony-tail.

7:39-I love the back of Leighton Meester's dress, even the largish knots at the shoulders. This is definitely a love it or hate it detail. It will be interesting to see how this goes over with all of the critics; either way, I am firmly on the side of it being fabulous. She is also wearing way too much make-up, even for television. Having said that, there is only one Leighton in my life, and that is The Chef. It was very weird to type the name Leighton followed by a last name other than his.

7:41-Hayden Panetierre. Red. Interesting one-shoulder cap-sleeve.

7:42-Julia Louis-Dreyfuss. Strapless teal dress and matching Jimmy Choo heels. She looks ten times better today at nearly 50 than she did when on 'Seinfeld'. Her favourite body part? Her "big nose". Least? Her pinkie toes.

7:48-Boy bands? bad. Justin Timberlake? Very, very good. His turns on SNL are always hilarious; his guest actor Emmy was well-deserved.




EMMY AWARDS RED CARPET-LIVEBLOG-Hour 1

E!Entertainment's Red Carpet with Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic

6:00-6:02-I can really do without Ryan Seacrest's poetic Red Carpet foreplay. Get to the good stuff. Please.

6:02-20 Cameras! Glamcam 360! Autograph cam! Celebrity tweets!Okay, the Glamcam 360 has awesome potential. It allows you to see all aspects of an ensemble, which can be really useful to people like me.

6:03-Why, oh why, is Nene from RHOA attached to Jay Manuel's hip? Granted, she is probably the least annoying Real Housewife of anywhere, but still. First up? Kourtney "the pregnant one" Kardashian. In full-on pregnancy black.

6:06-Heidi Klum. Also pregnant. Also in black--skin-tight, beaded, strapless Marchesa (one of my favourite, exquisite over-priced labels). Her husband, Seal, had no idea who he was wearing. He just threw on a suit. The personal-space defying, handsy Ryan got to the bottom of it....Costume National.

6:20-I love Jason Segal, even though he is the king of the bromance (confession: I have seen 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' at least 8 times).

6:22-I care not one whit for LL Cool J's NCIS spinoff but, 20 years after he captured my teenage heart, he remains man candy...even while wearing a goofy and entirely inappropriate hat with his otherwise classic tuxedo.

6:23-Seth MacFarlane. Man. Tux. Please move on to the women. This is the only reason that we watch the Red Carpet.

6:24-MacFarlane just dropped the F-bomb on live television. I take it all back.

6:25-Forget Megan Fox. Please. Olivia Wilde is the sexiest woman in Hollywood. They just glam-cammed her dress but I really want to see it up close.

6:26-I will never get acclimated to seeing Jamie Kennedy with Jennifer Love Hewitt. This is only slightly better than Mila Kunis with Macauley Culkin.

6:28-Allyson Hannigan. Vera Wang. Strapless. Black. Chopard jewels. I am seeing a theme and methinks I don't like it (although I like the tiered, sweepy effect of the skirt).

6:31-Can I please be Mariska Hargitay when I grow up? Pretty please.

6:32-Jenna Fischer. Beaded. Strapless. Black. Very much a skinny-girl version of Heidi Klum's Marchesa gown.

6:38-Jami-Lynn Siglar. I love the classic, clingy drapiness of her dress but I am not digging the beige-gold non-colour. Ryan is being creepy about her love life. This is never good, Ryan. No one is that interested.

6:41-Why, oh why, is there always someone trying to be nonchalant and ironic at every awards show? It never translates the way that they hope it will. Tonight, that idiot is Judah Friedlander of 30 Rock. Please leave the douchiness at home, along with the ball cap and sloppy outfit.

6: 46-Tracy Pollan. She is wearing a Carolina Herrera that critics will love or hate for its neon lime-green colour. I personally love the unusual, ballsy shade as well as the ruffly details around the bosom. Gorgeous!


6:50-A word to Jay Manuel about glass houses: with that appalling excuse for a tux you are sporting on the red carpet, I had better not see you snarking on badly-dressed Emmy Awards attendees tomorrow. His suit defies explanation. My advice to you is to Google it so that you can see it in all of its oddness.
