There was an interview wit...Conan the magnificent! There was an interview with Conan on Charlie Rose a few days before the Emmys. Charlie has a way of drawing out the people he interviews and Conan was no exception. His brilliance came through even in the more casual conversation of his interview. He first realized that he had something to offer when he was made editor of the National Lampoon at Harvard the end of his freshman year! He is the only person in show business in his family and his father is a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical school.<BR/><BR/>Long live the Conan!

It's been a l-o-n-g summer.<BR/><BR/>As for the Emmys: Conan was terrific, yet some critics are giving him mixed reviews. Go figure.<BR/><BR/>Red Carpet Fashions: Mariska Hargitay *glowed* and said she was proud of her figure -- i.e. purposely NOT dieting to drop the extra pregancy weight. She's smart, beautiful and talented.<BR/><BR/>As if it wasn't obvious, the color purple is THE color for fall. Ellen Pompeo was a disappointment, but what blew me away was the VELVET dress! Who wears velvet in August???<BR/><BR/>OTOH, Sandra Oh's dress (by Vera Wang) appeared too much for her. Granted, the jewelry weighed her down -- especially in its competition with the ruffles.<BR/><BR/>However, my burning question is: What was Candace Bergen thinking (or not)? If memory serves, she started out as as a model and always looked "classic." While age may have added pounds, why emphasize the fact by wearing a "fitted" outfit? <BR/><BR/>Also, Kyra Sedgewick's gown had everything but the kitchen sink as decoration.<BR/><BR/>As for the Emmys:<BR/><BR/>So glad the Amazing Race won again. Their new tour of the world begins Sunday, September 17th.<BR/><BR/>Finally Keifer! YES!!! Love that voice and his classy composure. "24" taking Best Drama made the night a success. The show deserved an Emmy years ago...everything in its time, I guess. ;o)Larramiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788910637361812265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31033821.post-1156778989630029472006-08-28T11:29:00.000-04:002006-08-28T11:29:00.000-04:00I can't believe I missed Wentworth! =( that's okay...I can't believe I missed Wentworth! =( that's okay, Prison Break is on. Not sure what Tony Shaloub won for but I can't stand Monk (who freaked my 12 yo out so bad he asked if Monk was like that in real life LOL).<BR/><BR/>Writing progress--not so good again. I got abotu 10 pages but my CP and I did get a proposal wrapped up! Thanks for the long weekend reminder. I think I'll email instead of snail mail!<BR/><BR/>Hated Debra Messing's dress (and for the record I NEVER watch the Emmy's) almost as much as I hated the bow on Paula Abdul's rear! Red carpet on E w/Ryan Seacrest and some cute chick (no idea who she was)--someone wasn't paying attention TWICE and they came back from commercial and didn't know it. I think Ryan Seacrest (sp?) is an ass.Amie Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145328243563702260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31033821.post-1156771262421342002006-08-28T09:21:00.000-04:002006-08-28T09:21:00.000-04:00Swishy-Ooh, thanks for the tip re: Krasinski. Me ...Swishy-Ooh, thanks for the tip re: Krasinski. Me love him. (No secret here.) I'm off to track down the clip on TWoP. Sigh. At least The Office won! Ditto 24! Yes, Went graduated from Princeton - we actually know people in common, but sadly, I've never met him. God, he was just off the charts last night. Too bad he's taken.Allison Winn Scotchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820208316115681320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31033821.post-1156745577696649472006-08-28T02:12:00.000-04:002006-08-28T02:12:00.000-04:00I could not BELIEVE Tony Shaloub won. WTF?!?! Rand...I could not BELIEVE Tony Shaloub won. WTF?!?! Random much?<BR/><BR/>Wentworth Miller is one sexy man. And didn't he go to Princeton or something? Smart AND sexy! I also have a massive crush on John Krasinski after watching him on E!'s aftershow. Speaking of the E! aftershow ... holy freaking crap, was Paula Abdul on another planet. She was all KINDS of wasted!xxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348725618072239708noreply@blogger.com
