Everyone looks really nice. Loretta Devine looks fabulous with the weight loss.
The show was fine, but DL Hughley was a horrible host. All that cussing and nonsense talk was a waste of time.

Go Jurnee! I have been a fan of hers since she was a kid. (No homo, No Kels) Eve's Bayou is one of my faves.
w00t! for America Ferrera and Vanessa Williams.
Yay for Ugly Betty, Great Debaters & cast, Queen Latifah, Angelique Kidjo, etc.
Go Ms. Devine. Looking good.
SMH at Eva the Diva. WTF?!
Where's Idina Menzel? Love her. She is SO talented and sweet. Her hubby? Don't care for him.
