Ho-hum
Ho-hum: (Exclamation) Used to express boredom or resignation.Well, the 60th Annual Emmy Awards were held last night. Given that this year's show was 100% Heigl free, the only show with the word "men" in the title that won any awards was "Mad Men," and "30 Rock" swept; I suppose the evening can be considered a rousing success.
The dresses on the other hand, were even more boring than the show this year. Tina Fey looks, as usual, about as comfortable and natural in formalwear as my dogs when I dress them up in Halloween costumes. Come on, you know I love her as much as anyone -- but I'm just saying it's true.
Christina Applegate's dress was pretty, if not ridiculously flamboyant. But I'll let her have it because... You know. She's Kelly Bundy. What, did you think I was gonna say cancer? Well that is all on you, my friend.
Jennifer Love Hewitt and her awesome new body came dressed like they were ready for the prom... In 1996. I'm not even joking, I think I wore that exact same necklace to my prom, too. I bet hers is probably made with real diamonds and didn't come from "Claire's Boutique," though.
I'm normally a huge fan of pink but Brooke Shields looks like a rose bush vomited. And I don't hand out sympathy points for that postpartum bullshit, either.
Jane Krakowski always wears something kind of crazy and slutty, but unfortunately she was kind of subdued this year... Even with the back cut-out business going on. Still love her, though.
One of life's greatest mysteries for me is why Jenna Fischer, for being so naturally charming and beautiful, can't pull off red carpet to save her life. She always wears ugly, frumpy dresses that make her look fat and stands with the poise of Farmer Brown admiring the crops. On the plus side, she's ditched her usual pageant hair and the color is nice on her.
I think Mary-Louise Parker is a goddess who can do no wrong. Even when she looks like a hooker goddess wearing a dress that came from Fredericks of Hollywood.
Paging Dr. Spaceman! Actually, Heidi Klum's vintage-inspired gown was probably my favorite dress of the whole Emmys, which should really say something about the sad state of affairs this year. I mean, she has butterfly earrings on, for chrissakes!
And finally, for no other reason than that they are my pretend TV boyfriends and I want to have sex with both of them: Lee Pace and Michael C. Hall. Editor's Note: Lee Pace looks way too pretty in a tux. Please God don't let Lee Pace be gay.

I don't know... Pace DID play Transexual Calpernia Addams in Soldier's Girl. And looked very pretty doing it also...
That "postpartum bullshit" is some serious fucking stuff. Good luck finding out the hard way.
Um, it's called "Claire's Boutique", Stacey. God.
Does JLoHew have a new body? I don't really pay attention to her. I don't even actually recognize her half the time.
Also, I thought Christina Applegate's dress was super pretty.
So are you saying Tina looks uncomfortable or her dress is boring/ugly? Because I see nothing "ho hum" going on there.
NOTHING.
Jennifer Love Hewitt tends to look very ratfaced when she gets too skinny. I do not approve.
And I know that Lee Pace's sexual preferences should have no bearings on my sexual fantasies...but yeah, please don't let him be gay.
I'm saying Tina looks uncomfortable. Like my dog wearing a ladybug costume. Like, she would much rather in a million years not be wearing that outfit, which is plainly evident from her posture and the expression on her face. God people, do you need everything spelled out for you?
Ho-hum blanket refers to the overall boringness of the Emmys fashion and the Emmys in general.
Oh, and I totally agree with the rat-faced thing.
Oh Sara, just settle the hell down now. If you can't laugh about PPD, then the terrorists have won.
Signed,
Someone who's been there
Lee Pace is gay. That is fact. I still love love love him.
Fine, fine, but you're still implying, by starting the post with her, that Tina looks ugly or boring.
I, on the other hand, feels she's adding to the "Bangalicious 08" file, regardless of whether or not she wants to take it off right now (not to imply that I want her to either. It's such a waste to discard attractive clothes too rapidly. Then it's all just ho hum nakedness, and we've all seen that look enough).
My favorite dress was Mariska Hargitay's yellow number. She looked gorgeous.
And what, no gratuitous shot of John Krasinski? come on, Stacey. He was a total dreamboat.
Hey Stacey, try slipping into 3 pairs of spanx and then a satin dress that they (those nefarious stylists) paste to your jubblies. I'd be one the red carpet screaming for the fireman to extricate me from my hell. Once they removed the dress (it would take many HOT firemen), I'd run in nothing but my pasties and 3 pairs of spanx over to the closest In'n'Out for a double double.
All in all, I think she looks pretty composed!
C'mon Christina Hendricks was amazing.
Agreed. Jenna is using the mostly invincible Red on Green formula, but the wrong dress can foil it, as hers certainly does. See also: Christina Hendricks. The irony is that she entered "Mad Men" in said Red on Green looking almost apocalyptically good. Little did I know I'd soon despise the character, but that was amazing. At the Emmys? No. I knew she had big breasts already, I didn't need Xtreme Cleavage and it was just a really awkward neckline.
