Last night at the 65th annual Emmy Awards, there were plenty of nice, safe, beautiful gowns… But the red carpet also saw a few ugly dresses and ill-conceived ensembles. Let's just jump right in, shall we?
Many viewers were outraged that the passing of TV legend Jack Klugman — who played Oscar Madison on The Odd Couple — got very little airtime in the Emmy tribute that included a long memoriam to Cory Monteith.

Seth Rogen is officially old and making movies about what an old crank he is, if the preview for his new movie Neighbors is anything to go by. He and Rose Byrne play a married couple with a very cute baby that start to lose it when a fraternity moves in next door, headed up by Zac Efron. Also DAVE FRANCO ALERT HELLO.…

The MTV Video Music Awards always bring out some spectacular trainwrecks, but 2009's, at Radio City, was a vagina-showcasing, skintight, navel-plunging, transparent house of horrors that either said something really optimistic about the economy or foretold the end of days.
