So obviously the buzz on all the fashion blogs and entertainment channels today is centered on the red carpet from last night’s Emmys. I must admit, I only tune in for the pre-show to see what all the celebs are wearing and to get the scoop on who was hot and who was totally not. Why waste three hours of “I’d like to thank God and the academy” when I can Google all that shiz the next day?

And the stars didn’t disappoint. As I sat curled up on my couch, the gowns had me drooling and dreaming of the day when I would someday find somewhere (anywhere!) to flaunt a flowing, sparkling evening dress. Sadly, as I stared down at my Easy-Mac-stained sweats, I realized that I won’t be wearing anything haute couture unless I marry Hollywood royalty or strike it big myself. Oh, and somehow fit into a size 00. None of which seem too promising.

So, here’s to dreaming big and living vicariously though the smoking hot women who graced the Emmy red carpet while I sat home with a 2 liter of Diet Coke and a bag of Baked Lays. Read More »

It’s time for the Emmys!

While the stars strut their stuff down the red carpet in haute couture dresses, we’re resting comfortably in our bed wearing nothing but an old t-shirt and a pair of VS undies shoving Pad Thai in our face. Because nothing goes better with an award show than drowning our fashion-envy sorrows in a bowl of greasy noodles.

We’ve got two full hours of designer goodness (and – fingers crossed – total disaster) coming our way, so let’s get to the show!

Get your TV set to E! and enjoy a little Ryan Seacrest action with us.

Leave your thoughts in the comments so we can all discuss the highs and lows together.

If you have any immediate concerns you absolutely need me to address, feel free to IM me at “mel1236″ on AIM

5:44 PM: Settled on the couch with my bowl of cereal, pajamas and laptop. Just put on E! to the dismay of my male, lacrosse-playing roommate. Seacrest, I’m so ready for you.

6:01 PM: Yay! It’s starting! Glam Cam 360? Livefeed of Twitter? Ryan, you’ve outdone yourself, bedecked in Burberry fabulosity. Mr. Jay, what’s all up on your collar? Also, Kourtney? No. Want Khloe. Whoa she is preg.

6:05 PM: Heidi’s preggo too? Again? Am I watching the red carpet or a commercial for Maternity World?

6:10 PM: Aww, Neil Patrick Harris in the 360 cam. Heart you. I’m hoping for some Harold and Kumar antics on stage. Read More »

Yes, it’s true. The Golden Globe awards are finally here!

Remember the Golden Globes last year? Yeah, me either. But maybe that’s because there weren’t any. There was a little thing going on called the writers’ strike, which kept me watching awful reality TV all year and prevented the Hollywood actors from attending the awards show.

Thank God that’s all cleared up.

Bring on the Red Carpet! Oh…and the actual show.

The awards start at 8pm EST (and will probably last until 1am with all those boring montages, speeches and fake awards), but the good stuff pre-show starts at 6. And that’s what we’ll be watching, hoping and praying for something scandalous: a nipple slip? A drunken stumble? An Amy Winehouse appearance?

Who are we kidding? Pretty sure the most exciting thing we’ll see is someone wearing white after Labor Day (Oh the horror!). But we’ll watch anyway, and report back on the good and the bad tomorrow morning.

• Faster is better. The truth about the ‘quickie’.

• Amy Winehouse kicks Keith Richards ass when it comes to trashing a hotel room.

• The intelligent bra takes the jiggle out of jogging.

• Posh Spice dresses really, really bad.

• WTF??? Paris is going to Harvard.

• Skinny is out… 2008 is all about the wide-leg.

• The Hills’ LC is going to the big house.
