emmy awards ’06 – live blogging!



6:00PM

hey hey! oh my word – the red carpet arrivals are starting on both E! with ryan seacrest & TV guide channel with joan & melissa rivers…i’m gonna flip back & forth a bit! thanks to gossip rocks for the pictures…



i’ve been so nervous to do this – i’ve been crazy busy trying to do a bit of cleaning – getting rid of a whole bunch of crap that’s been accumulated in the past few years – don’t forget next weekend is the LA blogger garage sale!



anyways i will try to provide some wit & commentary over the next few hours – so make sure to keep checking in – it is a total bummer that the show is on west coast delay but what can i do? and if anyone else out there has something to say – email me or post a comment on this post and we can work it in here! i’ll be back in a minute – time to pour myself a glass of wine…








6:09PM

looks like tonight will mark ms. joan rivers 1000th interview on the red carpet – who will it be?!? gosh she is always out of control – the awards are over at the shrine auditorium…gosh she has been going on for like 10 minutes – let’s get to the celebs joan – i’m gonna switch over to E!…




6:10PM

my goodness – did you all get a look at morgan fairchild‘s boobs? damn they’re outta control! and sandra oh has way too much jewelry on – i love her but she’s a bit wacky…




6:15PM

jessica walter is amazing! gosh i do miss that arrested development – joan just interviewed her – she is #983 – only a few more to 1000…enough with the mel gibson jokes – it’s so tired




6:20PM

ryan is with joel mchale from comedy central’s ‘daily soup’ – which is a great show – i always forget it’s on – so i need to get more on top of that…it’s a bit confusing to switch back & forth – both channels seems to be doing commercials at the same time!




6:23PM

i love chandra wilson from my dear grey’s anatomy which i have been a huge fan of since it premiered – i’m a little concerned about it moving to thursdays this fall – it is a great show and i hope it picks up some awards tonight!




6:26PM

amy poehler and husband will arnett were just with ryan – what a funny couple those two are – i bet they are blast to hang out with – i hope will nabs the award for his amazing work on arrested development – i have a feeling though that jeremy piven will win – and i’m ok with that – i do adore my ‘ari gold’ as well!




6:29PM

joan was just with the lovely cheryl hines all dressed in purple – that’s another fave show of mine that took me a little time to get into but once i did…now i can’t miss curb your enthusiasmlarry david is amazing!




6:39PM

quick picture update – i’m trying to keep up!










6:45PM

joan is with howie mandel – oh that ‘deal or no deal’ – oh look it’s kathy griffin who looks great! fingers crossed for her to win as well…sandra oh is discussing her jewelry over on E! – way too much! portia dirossi is running down the carpet – i don’t see her girlfriend ellen degeneres anywhere?




6:50PM

oh it’s leah remini with ryan! he needs to hit her up for more info on suri cruise! and yes scientologists wear versace too! oh my word he IS asking her about suri – oh this is a bit uncomfortable…i loved the whole did you see it? and she is all i like to call ‘it’ a her…i doubt these two are going to be hanging out anytime soon…


6:59PM

picture update! morgan’s boobs are crazy!








7:01PM

maybe seal can get back to making music if he stops making babies with heidi klum for a bit – i love them both and seal does have an amazing voice – and he is due for a kick-ass comeback album – and as for ms. klum…project runway is quickly becoming my favorite reality show – i love jeffrey and i’m glad he was mean to angela’s mother – i would have been too! ugh i can’t stand angela OR her mother! oh my daddy patrick dempsey is in the house – gosh he is a delicously sexy guy! grrrr!


7:12PM

more pics!








7:17PM

lisa kudrow is with ryan! she has had seven previous emmy nominations! oh i love hearing her talk about ‘the comeback’ – she looks great! oh i hope it’s her night! even if she doesn’t win – she was still nominated and maybe someday we will see that valerie cherish character again! i seem to be stuck on E! i’m gonna flip to joan…


7:21PM

although i prefer the banter of the rivers – it seems E! has better coverage as far as getting the people i want to see (along with everyone else) i think this will be easier to keep track of once the show starts – this channel switching is driving me a bit loopy!


7:28PM

katherine heigl vs tyra banks (best & worst)








7:32PM

megan mullally is great – she looks hot and she is very talented – it’s crazy so many of the shows nominated are not even on the air anymore! i’ll be back in a few – i gotta walk the dogs for a few minutes!


7:42PM

i’m back! i made the dogs do their business quickly daddy has to blog the emmys – hurry up! anyways ellen pompeo wins for worst hair – it’s not flattering how it is all pulled back – i no likey! gosh i love kathy griffin – so funny they made references to her no longer being on E! – speaking of no longer being on E! – where is that star jones? maybe eating bon-bons somewhere far far away…


7:57PM

the show starts in a second – here is the last round of red carpet pics – and now i see paula abdul – she so ties with tyra banks for worst dressed! i’m switching over to NBC now…








8:02PM

here we go with the show – conan o’brien is hosting – i do try and catch his late night show – he should keep things lively – i love these opening bit type things – with him on ‘lost’ and now ‘the office’…


8:08PM

i loved his joke about ellen burstyn being nominated for her 14-second appearance in ‘mrs. harris’ – i love ms. burstyn (you gotta see ‘requiem for a dream’ if you haven’t) but it’s pretty ludicrous that she was nominated – 14 seconds??? come on – that is such a fucking joke!


8:15PM

let me repeat myself – i love patrick dempsey – ok first award of the evening is up at bat…gosh ellen pompeo‘s hair is terrible!

EMMYS ON SUNDAY SEPT 21

Big show sunday – few bits – brad pitt may not be there – he is somewhere filming – wonder who jen will bring? and jennifer garner from ALIAS – will be with her mom and dad – and as of yesterday – michael vartan – her onscreen and offscreen love interest may not even be there?!? Cant wait to see the big winners – im sure HBO will take home the most – and they should (except lets give ALIAS something!!)


KELLY CLARKSON

This is sooooo embarassing – but im just going to tell you – i have been having this affair with three of her songs – i cant even bear to name them – you may know them – i hated them all at first – but this is what happens to me – they infect me like the plague – gosh miss independent drives me wild – i just love it – ooops i named one….and now FROM KELLY TO JUSTIN is in video stores – i think i will go in disguise – but i must see this – whatever it may be….and i PROMISE AND SWEAR to never have a love affair with any of clay aikens songs – his new one INVISIBLE is now playing on the radio – its kinda appropriate since i wish he was invisible…. :)
