“I shed tears last nite wit my fairy god mother Ryan Murphy who loves and believes in me! We always pick up right where we left off at and we have the best damn chats! Love you Ryan!”
It’s almost time for the Emmy’s Red Carpet and I though we might want a spot to talk about dresses! The above photo of Nene Leakes and Ryan Murphy was taken on Friday night at the EW pre party. It’s hard to say who started this odd death grip photo opportunity, but Ryan has a tendency to do the whole cheek to cheek thing.
I haven’t clicked over to E! yet. It will be interesting to see if Kelly Osbourne is actually on and how they keep her separated from Giuliana (and Brad) if she is. I won’t be watching the first part of the Emmys due to the penultimate episode of Big Brother. I’ve invested way too much of my summer into that show not to watch. Then I shall probably be off to bed. Banjo and I are both sick today. That seems to happen to us a lot. It’s weird.
So let me know what you think about the winners. I’m really pulling for Tatiana Maslany to win for Orphan Black this year. She is long overdue but that category is full of worthy nominees, so we shall see.
Okay, hit me up with your best and worst dresses in comments!
I swear, that picture of Nene …the eyes, the trout mouth….is she going for a Kim Kardashian look?
Feel better soon!
And that IS quite a death grip , akin to seeing Fuck-Knuckle strangling her “fairy godmother,” Ryan Murphy, and turning the poor fellow into Numb-Knuckle. It’s too close for comfort, hope breath mints were involved…really rather monstrous.
Bouji. Please read the commenting rules. No stupid names in place of real names. Stupid adjective descriptors are fine. 🙂
Sorry that you are feeling poorly, TT, you and Banjo! (Could he actually be picking up on your vibes and just want to snuggle up with you? When I’m sick… my cat is always sleeping on the bed, but not as obnoxiously as he usually does – more in a watchful way, and on me if I’m cold) Enjoy BB, and if you feel up to finishing out the night by watching the Emmys as you fall asleep (if you have a TV there – don’t worry about blogging, just enjoy)
Kelly is NOT on the red carpet, sadly – I think when she quit FP, she quit E! altogether. I’m sad. I LOVED her and Ross Matthews so much more than Guiliana. (I don’t like to comment on weight – but I was frankly SHOCKED at Ross’s weight gain. I think he’s heavier than he’s ever been. I say this knowing he probably won’t read this, and from a concerned, loving way because I think he is fabulous!)
Oh… Brad Goreski took Kelly’s place. He’s good – but I miss Kelly.
It is 2:33 PM here (West Coast) so 5:33 your time – no one is on the carpet yet so they are doing their games and reviews of what people wore previously. Guiliana’s dress is pretty, not crazy about her hair as usuall – and those earrings accent her ears in a bad way. Brad is in a dark grey suit, and his usual high water pants with no socks.
Oh… the dress NeNe is wearing – gorgeous color. THAT is the fabric the Countess should have used. I do think the color is very “now”.
Oh… just did a retrospective of all the shows that ended this year (Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, etc.). Dang. I need to cut a few Reality shows out to watch some good dramas apparently. Missing out.
Tatiana in an ivory pant suit with no shirt. It’s 100 degrees on the red carpet. Seems like that happens every year.
OMG!!! HEIDI KLUM IS DRESSED AS BIG BIRD!!!! Heidi says that Tim cusses more than ever on PR this season because “the designers are not up to snuff this season.” WOW. Says the giant yellow feathered thing.
Seriously thought that she was going to say it was a PR designer – and then I was going to tweet that it must have been a dare to wear one of the auf’d designs. Jeeezus. Big Bird is right.
I didn’t watch the Emmy’s, but have looked through 64 of the dresses (which is really all I care about anyway) and Versace must have been tripping on acid to have created that monstrosity Heidi Klum wore. It was even worse than I expected after reading TT’s comment. UGLY.
My favorite dress was worn by Juliana Hough. Yes, it was black, but also feminine and edgy, all at the same time. Very nice.
Gaga looked great…and so (for lack of better word) normal?
Aye…I’m finally up (I think)…I’ve been passed the F out most of the time since Friday night, so I missed the Red Carpet live as it happened. Oh well.
I was going to say this on the Project Runway thread (and still might), but since Heidi brought it up…yes, I think it’s true that they aren’t “up to snuff” this season. It’s getting pretty boring how, with rare exception, it’s the same four people vying for the top three spots week after week after week. There’s not much suspense about who is going to Fashion Week at this point, is there?
I haven’t seen Heidi’s dress yet, so as thus, no opinion, but I will say this: when your face is that gorgeous, you can get away with things that many others can’t!
This is the fourth attempt to reply. Now my fucking LAPTOP is fucking up. ARGH.
I thought that the Big Bird dress would have trended. It was a YELLOW side mullet dress, where one side is one thing and the other is something else. Like those mime outfits that are half man and half woman. Only one half was big bird with a napkin sleeve and the other side was ballgown.
Since it was Vesace, I suppose everyone is toing to act like this is normal.
Just looked it up. It’s not as bad as I was expecting, but yes, it’s not…great. The shade of yellow is nice, not too bright or intense…but yeah, those half/half designs never seem to work. Reminds me of Kim Basinger’s 1989 Oscar dress…half ballgown/half tuxedo. “I designed it myself!” she said, proudly. (Yes, dear. You don’t say. It was obviously done by an amateur.)
But back to Heidi’s dress…it would have been lovely if the whole thing were like the short side and the fabric was less fishnet-y and more chiffon-y.
It just goes to show that just because you can wear anything doesn’t mean that you should.
I agree Heidi’s dress was very confusing!! Perhaps she went shopping in Sarah Jessica Parker’s closet!
A friend said it looked like she swept up the scraps of fabric left on the floor after a PR challenge and randomly glued them together into a dress.
Death grip is too true! Fuck-Knuckle appears to be strangling her “fairy godmother,” Ryan Murphy, and making him into Numb -Knuckle, and a big high-five to breath mints , since this is too close for comfort. Monstrous.
According to my twitter feed, Porsha is at the red carpet. She is there to interview celebs for Dish Nation but has decided to walk the red carpet herself Because, Porsha.
And THAT is the type of shit is why I so miss Joan Rivers or Kathy Griffin being right on the red carpet.
Apologies for using stupid names and for overly eagerly posting the same stuff twice. I swear that I will get the hang of this right now. Back to imbibing the fashion, hair and makeup. Thanks, Tamara!
Guiliana Rancic is driving me fucking nuts. I think she’s asked every woman but Mayim Bialik how they stay looking so fit.
Oh… except for perhaps this American Horror Story chick on right now, maybe the E people are reading the tweets bashing her (including mine) and told her.
Case in point – Padma was up there. Padma is nominated, an author, executive producer, philanthropist, a mom… and all she asked her was about she keeps her looks.
Best two looks of the night for me so far are Sarah Hyland in Zac Posen and Sarah Paulson in Prabal Gurung.
That Zac Posen dress was so beautiful – loved that it is COLOR… so much black on the red carpet tonight.
Watching the hot cranky miserable bitches in the background on the step and repeat go from bitch face to trying to look confident and happy is amazing.
Claire Danes is wearing a Prada dress that is cut a lot like Kelly from PR’s dress last week, It’s cute but Kelly’s is better!
I’m going to assume that the heat got to Kerry Washington’s hair but she’s only been out of her car five minutes. WTF happened?
Ugh I missed it! The only thing I saw was Kerry Washington. Looks like she lost something, pins? I hope they show again damn
It was 100 degrees?! They all must have been melting
At one point, someone reported that several phones were reporting 106 degrees on the red carpet.
Yay! Tina Fey looks good tonight! Loved her dress.
Just found a pic of Porsha…. dress is “meh” to me, and her hair is a mess!
Queen Latifah looked beautiful to me in her white gown. God! What a classy, divine woman she is and has always reminded me (physically) of the great writer, Thora Neale Thurston.
Zora Neale Hurston? Realized I’d never seen a pic of her – and you are right!
Yeah. Think I’ve returned to menopause symptoms via osmosis, thanks to my daughter. Zora, Thora, Zarathustra. Soon to be carrying the TV remote to Publix and putting my cellphone in the fridge.
I admit to finding some of Nora Neale Thurston’s fiction tedious but became fascinated by her autobioraphy. Dust Tracks On The Road, should be read by everyone. She was so much more than an author. Her work in anthropology and bad taste in men. What a woman, what a life! Now that you mention it, I can see the Queen Latifah.
She was so fascinating to you that you don’t even know her name ? And her autobiography was soundly panned by even her closest admirers. She was also accused of plagarims on several of her books.
You have a very strong opinion on someone whose name you don’t know.
I watched a live feed on Periscope an hour or two ago, at the Emmys. Say Ty Burrell (Phil on Modern Family), Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ricky Gervais in the crowd. Saw Luke & Manny (Mod Fam) on red carpet and a bunch of actors from Game of Thrones (apparently), which I don’t watch.
Wonder which other RH bitches are there? Are the Richards and/or Hilton clan ever there?
Thanks for your comments, TT, keep me comin’!
PS: Tatiana from Orphan Black is Canadian, I think.
O lawd, I need to learn to spellcheck BEFORE I post. Say should be saw, and more importantly, it should read keep EM comin’ there at the end. ?
And I hope you & Banjo get back to feeling like your selves again, soon!
And sorry for the embarrassing typo!
Canadakitty, You may want to check out Jay Maunuel’s periscope. he is @mrjaymanuel on twitter I think. He is GREAT with red carpet narrative. I am unwilling to do the downloads I need to do to periscope. It’s not compatible with Windows browsers and I don’t want to have two browsers.
Oh and unless you are dictating a novel via voice to text, I don’t worry about typos. I have a ton of my own in my posts.
Didn’t even catch it, CK… and I used to edit for a living!!! Read it as “saw”.
Please. Make-up artists must hate Nene. When VOGUE said nude and pale shimmers were in for summer, they weren’t talking to Nene. (Summer’s over in a couple of days.) And the bright white nails draw attention to her big old man hands. Why is she still using the middle school selfie duck / trout face? There’s nothing flattering about this photo.
YES, It’s F***ing HOT in California today as we burn. My house is hot, it never gets hot.
Emmys are boring so far. Audience seems only slightly engaged.
I watch a lot of TV, I do not know these people. Jokes are horrid.
The videos or IDK, the set ups for nominated shows are terrible.
Emmys getting better as I start to recognize people, Jon Stewart. show won.
FYI, I got to the Emmys tonight just in time for Lady Gaga followed but a SPOILER REEL of every show that had their last season this this year. So if you were planning on bingewatching them later, scroll through at shit with your eyes closed or something.
Lady Gaga looked good too.
The host sucks. Like hard.
TT – Yes he sucks!
Adam Sandler
Adam Samberg. He has a role in Brooklyn Nine Nine
Sandberg, your right. A brain fart.
Adam “Iceberg”.
Emmy’s were the Titanic.
Who the hell is Adam Samberg? I’ve heard of Andy Samberg from SNL, but then again, my brain has stopped faring and begun to slide into rigor mortis for a nice vacation.
Yeah it’s Andy, not Adam.
Farting, for crissakes. Insert full-throttle Irish swearing.
Yea host was awful, reason I kept changing channel, and with the spoilers, I think I’ll just skip watching next time and just read TT next time for recaps!! This is much more worth spending time on
I just want Orange is the New Black to win every award in the universe.
Viola Davis gave a beautiful, inspiring speech. Also, her dress was gorgeous.
I was touched by Tracy Morgan….
Banjo & T.T feel better it’s probably because you are both on sync with each other.
I saw that Viola Davis won for HTGAWM. Yea! This is the time that I would be anxiously awaiting Joan Rivers and Fashion Police tonight. Drudge says this Emmy show is near all time low ratings. I just watch the red carpet show before the awards shows.
I do realize that 100 is very hot and a heat index of 108 is unbearable. We call that summer in Georgia.
Yes Peach, but we don’t stand outside in shoulder to shoulder people wearing formal wear four an hour, makeup sliding off our faces without a sweet tea or bottle of water in sight….
Also, one thing TT when animals and people get sick in home at same exact time over and over- maybe check carbon monoxide level, be im recently getting Water heater, AC changed and this issue came up so its fresh in my mind. Not to scare you,just an idea bc I looked into it recently online.
Wow, Ryan Murphy’s complexion is as smooooth as a baby’s bottom ~
I am in the minority, but I am entertained by Andy Samberg. My big frustration is all my favorite shows are competing against each other and I want them all to win! 🙁 I still have about 30 minutes to watch but time to go to work.
If these two are so pea and carroty why isn’t Nene starring in his latest hot series? After all she’s a natural for American Horror Story because she is one. Her face scares the livin’ crap outta me.
If she’s so tight with Ryan Murphy why didn’t he cast her in Scream Queens or another show?
About the photo above – first thing I thought was that the guy looked like an ill Tim Gunn, then, that the color of NeNe’s lipstick matches the guy’s complexion … not a good look for either of them
