But a battle between Bravo and Lifetime has the future of the hit design show hanging by a thread purchased at Mood.

It was no joke when Heidi took a spill on-stage at the Emmy Awards along with the help of co-host Tom Bergeron in order to demonstrate the difference between the “drama” and “comedy” categories.
To demonstrate “drama,” the “Project Runway” beauty fell dramatically into the arms of the “Dancing With the Stars” host.
And then, to demonstrate “comedy”… he dropped her!
But maybe the two should have rehearsed a bit more beforehand, because Heidi ended up with an anything-but-runway-ready-sized bruise on her right thigh.

Any drama at the Emmys was strictly reserved for those picking up their acting awards. It certainly wasn’t about the style. The red carpet was a sea of safe choices and could have used a dose of drama.
One bright spot — bright colors. Mariska Hargitay in marigold Carolina Herrera, and Teri Hatcher in yellow Monique Lhuillier laughingly told us that they looked like, “a couple of hot bananas.” Brooke Shields was beautiful in bright fuchsia… Nicollette Sheridan went with eggplant Angel Sanchez. Tina Fey did a 180 from her dead-on Sara Palin Soccer Mom look — all sleek in deep purple David Meister. Christina Applegate went with a softer hue in her elegant one-shouldered light blue Reem Acra.

8:01 PM — Just talked with Steve Guttenberg and Marlee Matlin and asked them who's going to win. Marlee said she was, and when I asked who was going down in flames, she pointed to Guttenberg. Very cute rapport. She said he'll lose so he can vote for her. Guttenberg and I talked about living for the moment. He lost his labrador of 15 years two nights ago, but is taking it OK. He said he won't get another dog.
