Greg's Photo Galleries: September 2008 Archives

Better late than never. Had some drama with my photo card and feared these photos would be lost forever. But, here they are!

The Sept. 21 Emmy Awards were great fun - at least the red carpet was! I know the show itself was lacking but it's nothing a good host can't fix. Just pick a comedian, puleeze! Anyway, I had free reign on the red carpet so I was able to get all kinds of exclusive photos. Well, they look a lot like the ones you see in all the magazines but just know that I took them all with Out In Hollywood readers in mind (that probably explains why there are so many pics of Mario Lopez!)

Speaking of Mario Lopez, he really suits his new role as anchor of "Extra" so well. Every big star on the red carpet made sure to stop by Mario's booth includiing "How i Met Mother" nominee Neil Patrick Harris who, in ,my opinion, was robbed of his first Emmy win by Jeremy Piven who took home his third in a row. Gimme a break. Enough!

As Neil Patrick Harris did interviews, I hung out with his adorable boyfriend David Burtka for awhile. They seem very supportive of each other and made a very handsome couple on Emmy day.

Lee Pace, nominated for "Pushing Daisies," gave me a sorta smile after he got interviewed by Joey Fatone and Lisa Rinna for TV Guide Channel. Lee is an absolute dreamboat don't you think?

Speaking of dreamboats, David Boreanaz was one of the most dapper dudes on the red carpet. I managed to snap a photo of him. The rest of the time, I was just sorta staring at him.

I snapped a photo of Kathie Lee Gifford waving to me but am sharing this one with you instead because it's got Kathy Griffin in it!
Kathie Lee and her "Today Show" co-host Hoda Kotb chatted up all the big stars but didn't get any special digs.

They had to stand out there in the hot sun behind a velvet rope just like most of the rest of the media while "Access Hollywood," "Entertainment Tonight," "The Insider," "Extra," "TV Guide Channel" and "E!" had fancy booths with staircaises etc.

It was one of those elaborate booths that caused the most horrifying moment on the red carpet. The legendary Mary Tyler Moore (seen here leaving the 'Access Hollywood' booth with Cloris Leachman) later slipped on the top step of the "Insider' booth and fell down hard. I was about 15 feet away, saw it happen, and felt awful until near the end of the show when I saw Mary walk out on the stage, smiling, and paying tribute to her friend Betty White.

The star of the classic sitcoms "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show," is a seven-time Emmy winner and is doing a series of guest spots on NBC's "Lipstick Jungle" as Brooke Shields' mother.

And speaking of Brooke Shields (don't ya just love my silly segues?), here she is with Mario Lopez (Him? Again?). I have noticed this the three times I've seen Brooke Shields in person: she is even more beautiful in person than on television. And she carries herself with such class and grace. I'm a big fan.

Here is the glorious Mary-Louise Parker, the Emmy nominated star of "Weeds" who probably deserved the Emmy more than Tina Fey. The night before, I iinterviewed Mary-Louise at a pre-Emmy party and she had on dramatic make-up and a super lowcut dress. She changed her look dramatically for the actual ceremony. I thought she looked senesational both times!

AFTER THE JUMP: Teri Hatcher, Jeff Probst,Mariska Hargitay, Steve Carell,Daniel Dae KimJohn Krazincki and probably more Mario Lopez! Keep reading...
