I'll be the first to admit that I'm a Hills addict, but there's nothing about that show that's Emmy winning material. I'm sure Lauren knows that, so she's found another way to get herself into the soirée.
According to an ABC press release, Lauren, "a celebrity designer" (their words, not mine), will "design a one-of-a-kind couture red carpet gown" for the Emmy trophy presenters. The release continues to stress that it's the first time a celebrity designer will be creating those gowns.
As for Lauren's take on the whole event? "I will be doing a red carpet look that still reflects the simple classic design of the Lauren Conrad Collection but with a black tie twist."
Okay, I'm still stuck on the celebrity designer part. And, how did Lauren get herself involved in this? Even a Project Runway designer would have been better.
Award season is just around the corner (already?), as the 60th annual Primetime Emmy Awards nominations have just been announced.
It is with great girl power pleasure that I reveal to you that 30 Rock (created by the extremely relevant phenom Tina Fey) is among the leaders in noms this year, earning, count 'em, 17, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress, for Tina herself, and Outstanding Lead Actor Alec Baldwin.
AMC's drama Mad Men racked up 16 nominations, while ABC's Pushing Daisies earned 12 nominations. The leader of the pack is HBO's John Adams, coming in with 23.
See all the recognized peeps here. The Emmys are set to air on Sept. 21.
BOOOOOO!
Britney Spears has been snubbed by the Emmy people. According to Access Hollywood, Brit's name is not on the list of 11 semi-finalists in the running for the Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series nomination, for her role as crazy Abby on How I Met Your Mother. She did make the list of the final 41 actresses, but that's where her Emmy dream has died.
Oh well, no Britney at the Emmys. No glimmer of hope for an acceptance speech ("Thanks, y'all!"). No shocked faces of all the other people in the category. No fun. BOOOOO!
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are going all out for their wedding. The duo, who attended Friday night's Daytime Emmy Awards, told reporters that the plans for their "dream wedding" are well underway. Ellen announced on her show last month, after the California Supreme Court decided to overturn the ban on gay marriage, that she and her girl would be tying the knot.
"How do I feel about it? I obviously feel like it's long overdue," the comedienne said. "I think someday people will look back on this like women not having the right to vote and segregation and anything else that seems ridiculous that we don't all have the same rights."
As for their own nups, Ellen said that they are making headway. "We have set a wedding date," she said on the red carpet, where Portia was sportin' a brand new ring, complete with pink diamonds.
Some of the wedding will air on Ellen's talk show (yay!) and the Emmy-winner (she won her fourth consecutive for Outstanding Talk-Show Host on Friday) says the entertainment will be pretty good, telling reporters "incredible people" will sing at their ceremony.
There will, no doubt, be a ton of dancing. Can't wait!
Taking a page from Grey's Anatomy's Katherine Heigl (she could take a few, if you ask me), Lindsay Lohan has opted not to put herself in the running for this year's Emmy awards, for her quick stint on Ugly Betty.
Isn't that special?
According to UsMagazine.com, Lindsay pulled her name from consideration in the hopes that she'll have a better shot at next year's ceremony. You see, Linds is scheduled to be back again next season, playing a schoolmate of Betty's.
"The appearance was brief," a rep for the actress told the Los Angeles Times. "We made a decision to wait."
With Lindsay out perhaps all of the people wanting to vote for the underdog with lean towards a Britney Spears nomination for How I Met Your Mother. I so want that to happen.
So far today we've learned that Katherine Heigl won't be winning an Emmy this year -- but could Britney Spears?
According to OK! magazine, Brit Brit has been included on the official ballot for possible nominees for an Emmy Award. Her two-episode stint on How I Met Your Mother got good reviews -- and helped boost the ratings for what I consider an extremely underrated show -- but was her portrayal of crazy Abby that good?
The list, as it stands now, reportedly has 40 other actresses' names on it and has to go through a round of voting before the nominees are set. But wouldn't that be a kick in the head?
Chances are you won't be seeing Katherine Heigl cursing on the Emmy broadcast this year (do you remember last year? When she won she said "sh*t!" and you could totally read her lips). The Grey's Anatomy beauty, who took home the statue for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama, says she's not even putting herself in the race this year.
"I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention," Kat told Gold Derby. "In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials."
Hmmm. I'm not sure what to think about this development. On one hand I feel like it's a bit pompous -- it's not she's like Oprah, who won the Daytime Emmy for Best Talk Show Host like a million times before bowing out. On the other hand, I feel like it's kind of nice. Katherine got to bask in the glow of being a winner, and now she wants to give someone else the chance.
What do you guys think?
Three cheers to her for recycling, though I think she looked better the first time around. This time, I think the newlyweds were perhaps a little frisky in the car before the reception. Kate's looking a little disheveled, but is wearing a big smile.
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick ...
That's the clock that's counting down the minutes until Hayden Panetierre is officially deemed the next Lindsay Lohan.
Why would I say something so nasty about the just-turned-18 Heroes star, who seems so sweet? Because Hayden reportedly flipped her lid and tried to beat up a reporter from Us Weekly. That's right. Here's what TV Guide's Michael Ausiello had to say:
"It was the unbreakable Hayden Panettiere who threatened to "kill" a staffer from Us Weekly over something she wrote about her in a recent issue. (Sources have since confirmed that it was this item that had HP's barely legal panties in a bunch.) Just when it looked like Hayden was about to pull a Sylar on said reporter's skull, her quick-thinking publicist grabbed her and scolded, "Not on the red carpet." It was a classic Hollywood moment — and one I predict will be streaming all over the Internet by week's end."
Do you think Hayden read our entry on her split with Stephen Coletti? Should we be sleeping with one eye open? I won't feel safe again until she is safely locked away at a rehab facility -- which will probably be any minute now.
Grey's Anatomy's Katherine Heigl made me laugh when she said "sh*t", after they called her name as the winner of the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, at Sunday night’s Emmys.
Backstage, Kat revealed to Access Hollywood that it was her mother’s attempt to calm her down – by suggesting that there was no chance her girl would win -- which led to the sound-censored -- but seen-- expletive.
“She’s the biggest supporter of mine in the universe so if she was like, ‘You know what? I love you, I think you deserve it but I don’t think you’re going to get it this year,’ I was like ‘You are right!’ and I totally calmed down and relaxed,” Katherine told Access. “I was like ‘Cool’ and ‘Everything’s fine!’ My heart rate slowed down [then] they said my name and I nearly just sh** myself. So that’s where that came from.”
I love that story. Really down-to-earth, really cool.
I like that he's continued to be creative with his hair... or maybe his Mommy's still styling it.

We're gone too. Nite!
Stay tuned for Lindsey's best & worst of the emmy awards slide show.
Does this mean Alec Baldwin is going to stick with TV for a while?
Meanwhile, funny conversation here tonight at our Emmy party...
Lindsey: Do you capitalize the C in 50 Cent?
Suzy: Yeah.
Tracy: (hysterical) That's just a ridiculous question.
Also, we thought it was a tech glitch that cut off Ray Romano during his act -- now, not so much.
And did you see Kanye West whispering to his fiance during Tony's acceptance speech. I bet he was saying, "I should have won that award!"
Dear Emmy producers: I'd like to see more Entourage stars and less boring politicos.
When James Gandolfini, Edie Falco, Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Robert Iler came out of the floor of the Emmys stage, in the center of all their other castmates, it reminded me of when my family was introduced at my brother's bar mitzvah reception. L' chaim!
Grey's Anatomy star has some big hair. What's with all the young pretty ladies rockin' the senior citizen 'dos? Paris Hilton has had some really big hair lately, too. But this... this is a foul.
Nice helmet!
Sorry for the lapse but Robert Duvall sucked the life out of me -- twice.
Meanwhile, hope that's a spray-on tan... and not fake-and-bake bed tan.
Meanwhile, I can't believe she won! It was all about Denny.
How embarrassing! The announcer girl pronounced Katherine Heigl's name "Hi-jul". It should be in her job description to know how to say everyone's name.
Kyle Chandler = yummy.
I was so surprised that Fox was broadcasting the Emmys this year. I don't know, I just don't think they compare with the big three -- NBC, CBS or ABC. And they just proved they can't! When Ray Romano was delivering a joke, suddenly it cut to an aerial camera above the circular stage and there was no sound. None.
Low production values, I guess.
