For the first time in eons, I wasn’t at the Emmy Awards<\/em>.  In fact, I wasn’t in the country.  But through the miracle of modern technology, I didn’t miss a beat – even in a minor Eastern European city.  Even there, people knew who RuPaul <\/strong>was and enjoyed her turn as “Emmy”.  I surely wasn’t the only one who thought Jane Fonda<\/strong>‘s homage to I Dream of Jeannie<\/em><\/strong> was inspired, and cringed a bit when Cicely Tyson <\/strong>wandered out to the wrong side of the stage (alas, it only got worse).  Personally, I think she was disoriented by the sight of Anika Noni Rose<\/strong>‘s breasts.  Girl, put those things away – this ain’t the Golden Globes<\/em>!<\/p>\n

But the highlight for me was watching the fabulous Jackie <\/strong>“Mamacita” Hoffman <\/strong>lose to Laura Dern<\/strong>.  Most also-rans put on their game face.  Not Hoffman, who clearly mouthed “Damn it!”  The subsequent Tweets <\/em>were a little bit of heaven.  “Laura Dern had famous parents.  Forgive me for being from real people,” said Hoffman.  In case people took Jackie seriously, her next Tweets <\/em>should have put the matter to rest.  “I hear that Laura Dern runs a child porn ring.”  And “I hear Laura Dern looted art from Nazi victims.”<\/p>\n

Some fans wrote in asking what the blue ribbons meant.  They are in support of the American Civil Liberties Union <\/em>(ACLU<\/em>) and protecting people’s constitutional rights.  Others wondered if Sofia Vergara <\/strong>and Joe Manganiello <\/strong>have broken up since she walked the red carpet with a much younger man.  People, get your minds out of the gutter.  That was her son, Manolo <\/strong>– yes, named after the shoe!  Sofia ALWAYS brings a large contingency with her to award shows, and since Joe wasn’t around, Manolo walked his mom down the carpet – as he has many times in the past.  If you want to see a bit more of the 26-year-old Latino, check out BillyMasters.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
