-How bad were last night’s Emmys? Well, the fact that most outlets would prefer to run photo essays of Aaron Paul making crazy faces rather than cover the actual show is not a good sign.
-Also better than anything that actually happened during the ceremony: this Vine of Breaking Bad’s Dean Norris dancing.
–Jon Hamm and Amy Poehler threw an afterparty for all the Emmy losers because they’re awesome.
-Meanwhile, the executive producer of the Emmys is defending those endless In Memoriam segments. Someone out there must not have hated it; it scored the highest ratings since 2005.
-I didn’t get a chance to feature Christina Hendricks in my Emmy red carpet gallery, but she was one of my favourites, along with Tina Fey, Allison Janney and Robin Wright. I hated Kerry Washington and Mindy Kalling,
–Claire Danes’ Audi commercial is really weird, but it’s worth sticking it out for the MSCL shout-out at the end.
–Chad Michael Murray and Kenzie Dalton have split — which happens when you’ve been engaged for seven years and don’t pull the trigger.
-Random: Pharrell Williams was at Yorkdale Mall this weekend.
–Diddy is upset with Miley Cyrus‘ twerking — not because she’s doing it, but because she’s doing it wrong.
-Meanwhile, Miley broke down while performing “Wrecking Ball” this weekend, possibly because she didn’t have a chain to grind up on.
-Oh, and there’s chatter that Miley and music producer Mike WiLL Made It are doin’ it.
-Hey, remember when Michael Buble was a total skeeze and we all knew it but didn’t say anything? (Actually, I wish I didn’t say anything. Once I wrote about him allegedly cheating on Emily Blunt and was flooded with hate mail and threats. Fun!)
-I’ve never seen critics hate on a series finale like they’re hating on Dexter’s. It’s on my PVR, where I predict it will remain until I erase it a few months from now…unwatched .
-How I Met You Mother also has a lot of work to do to turn the tide in its final season, which starts tonight.
–Laura Prepon just told the world that Ashton Kutcher was Mila Kunis’ first kiss, which we’re sure Mila is thrilled about.
–Lady Gaga thinks Adam Levine needs to STFU. She’s not wrong.
-Lots of good covers came out today. Here’s Justin Timberlake doing “Shake Your Body,” and Vampire Weekend doing “Song 2.”
-It looks like Penn Badgley and Zoe Kravitz are back together.
-Here’s the first trailer for Under the Skin (starring Scarlett Johansson as a sexy alien). It didn’t exactly earn raves at TIFF.
