FOX Censors Sally Field's Anti-War Rant

SEPTEMBER 17, 2007: Rupert Murdoch-owned FOX network which carried the "live" Emmy telecast last night censored Emmy-Award winner Sally Field's anti-war rant at the end of her acceptance speech bleeping out the words "god-damned wars in the first place."

Did those trigger-happy censors mistake the words "god damn" for profanity or was there some kind of special agenda at work? In any event, big thumbs down to FOX for the embarrassing handling of the matter and thumbs up to a defiant Sally who said backstage: "I would have liked to have said more bleeped-out words."

Finally, I couldn't be happier for Sally, whose performance as Nora Walker, the loving but fear-stricken mother of a soldier, rightfully deserves the award. Congratulations, Sally. I really, really like you.

Neil Patrick Harris & Boyfriend David Burtka Step Out @ Emmys 2007 Red Carpet

SEPTEMBER 17, 2007: One small step for "How I Met Your Mother" star Neil Patrick Harris, one giant leap for the gay mankind. Harris, who came out as a gay man last October in an interview with People Magazine, did as he promised to do several days ago on the Ellen talk show - for the very first time he attended the Emmy Awards show with his long-time boyfriend fellow Broadway and TV actor David Burtka posing together for the photographers on the red carpet.


If I am not mistaken this may very well be the first time a famous gay male actor attended a high-profile event with his partner.



Many famous actors in Hollywood today are gay, but the majority of them remain in the closet, fearful of career repercussions, staging faux relationships or opting not to attend these events or discuss their personal life.



"Grey's Anatomy" star T.R. Knight who also came out last fall may not currently be in a relationship as he attended the event with a female companion.

Emmy After-Parties

In my final Emmy-post today, here's a quick look at TV stars as they collide at Governor's Ball, a TV Guide event and a number of other after-parties following last night's telecast. See T.R. Knight do Rebecca Gayheart's work, Teri Hatcher performing a song while James Denton is playing guitar, our favorite "Heroes" Hayden and Milo getting cozy together, and other wee-hour activities. According to the latest reports, the Ryan Seacrest-hosted edition of the show was watched by over 13 million people, the worst result for the Emmys since 1990.

Men @ 2007 Emmys

Well, it was about time to check out the Emmy hunkage, wasn't it? Their designer tuxedos may not generate the sort of headlines that the ladies' overpriced gowns do, but the men of prime-time also know how to make fans' hearts pumping. Milo, Mario, Eric, Zachary and many more, after the jump. Now, whatever happened to Wentworth and his girlfriend?

"Heroes" @ Emmys 2007

Doll-like special guest star Kristen Bell may look darn good in her blue gown, but Ali Larter takes my vote among the cast of NBC's sci-fi drama "Heroes." Although, I can't help but think that if I were straight, I would probably not be able to take my eyes off the decadent allure of the new cast member Dania Ramirez. Now where the hell are all those people looking while Ms. Ramirez is strutting her exquisite stuff?

"Ugly Betty" & Ladies of Mode @ 2007 Emmys

One would expect the most fashionable cast on prime-time TV to look the best at an event of the Emmy magnitude. And they lived up to their reputation. Now this is a really tough choice, I am this close to giving my vote to "Ugly Betty's" titular star America Ferrera whose gown brings out the best in her, but I'll just have to go with the adorable, fabulous and simply amazing Becki Newton. Amanda, will you be my fag hag?
