Some celebrities did their best to stand out looking stunning, others were probably just begging for attention on the red carpet of the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday (September 20).

To tell the truth, it wasn’t easy to come up with a best dressed list since there were so many safe and poor fashion choices but we must mention Olivia Wilde, who looked absolutely gorgeous in a revealing Marchesa gown (more photos), and 8 month-pregnant Heidi Klum, who was not afraid to show off her HUGE bump (Heidi Klum & Seal photos).

Sarah Silverman is on our worst dressed list again and actress Victoria Rowell, who decided politics and fashion can actually mix and wore a horrible dress with President Barack Obama’s face all over it.

Actress Olivia Wilde, best known for her role as “13” in House, wowed in a stunning revealing Marchesa gown while walking the red carpet of the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards, which was held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday (September 20).

That is the type of dress you can only wear once, when you are young and your body is in perfect shape, but it still takes a lot of courage and confidence. We can totally understand why Megan Fox has a big lesbian crush on the 25 year-old actress!

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively made some heads turn and jaws drop in a beautiful Versace red long dress on the red carpet of the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards, which was held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday (September 20).

There is no doubt Blake looked stunning but there have been some rumors the actress’ amazing cleavage might have been surgically enhanced. So did Blake Lively have a boob job or not!?! It doesn’t really matter since we are easily distracted by her also amazing legs.

Heidi Klum, who is pregnant with her fourth child, and her husband Seal were the most glamorous and gorgeous couple on the red carpet of the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards, which was held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday (September 20).

The 36 year-old model, who is just a couple weeks away from giving birth, proudly showed off her huge baby bump in a beautiful long black Marchesa gown. Heidi said, “The great thing about being pregnant and going to these things is that I don’t have to suck my stomach in. It’s fabulous! I can let it all out.”

Actress Jessica Lange won her first Emmy Award for her portrayal of Edith “Big Edie” Bouvier Beale in the TV movie “Grey Gardens” on Sunday (September 20). The HBO movie, also starring Drew Barrymore, won the Emmy for best made-for-TV movie.

Despite the awful rumors circulating on the internet that Jessica has had extensive plastic surgery, the 60 year-old actress looks absolutely gorgeous and in great shape. I’m sure Jessica would make a lot of women in their thirties jealous! So what if she had a little nip/tuck here and there… Jessica looks fabulous!

As any other award show, the most important aren’t exactly the awards but what the celebs wore on the red carpet. Star shinning bright on the red carpet included Blake Lively (amazing rack!), Olivia Wilde (just gorgeous!) and Heidi Klum (so big, she is ready to pop any time now!).

UPDATE: Obama Says Kanye West Is a Jackass VIDEO

President Barack Obama has weighed in on Kanye West hijacking the MTV Video Music Awards stage, and moment away from Taylor Swift on Sunday night, by appropriately calling West a “Jackass” according to Politico.

The off-the-record comment was not suppose to reach the light of day, but the viral kudzu that is Twitter caught wind of it when ABC News reporter Terry Moran tweeted the swipe but has since deleted the tweet.

Here is the text of Moran’s tweet about the President’s opinion on West:

“Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a “jackass” for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.”

Smart move by the President if you ask me. His approval has been down and he has been divisive in his policy making and plans. So what better than to finally say something that 95% of Americans agree with?

Actress/singer Jennifer Lopez, who revealed to be working on a new album, and her husband Marc Anthony hit the red carpet at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) held at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday (September 13).

Actress Ashley Greene, looking good as always, wore a simple gold skirt and black top to attend the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) held at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday (September 13).

The twilight star, who was recently involved in a nude photos scandal, dressed down for the occasion, don’t you think!?! And the big hair just made her look older. It was definitely not a flattering choice of outfit for the evening.

Eccentric singer Lady GaGa completely stunned everyone with her peculiar, weird, dramatic outfit choices during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) held at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday (September 13).

The “Poker Face” singer arrived in a black ensemble with her date Kermit, the Frog then took the stage to give a killer performance of “Paparazzi” ending up with her white number all covered in fake blood (watch video here). GaGa made several wardrobe changes that we just don’t know how to describe… check out the photos below!!

The Queen of Pop Madonna delivered a very emotional speech in tribute to the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, in which she drew a comparison between herself and the King and confessed to regret losing touch with her old friend (watch video below) over time.

Madonna’s speech opened the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday (September 13) and was followed by Janet Jackson’s tribute performance of “Scream” (watch video here).

Rapper Kanye West did not only make a fool of himself by stealing Taylor Swift’s moment but he also looked like a complete and total loser holding onto his bisexual girlfriend Amber Rose and a bottle of Hennessy while arriving at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) held at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday (September 13).

Kanye might want to blame it on the alcohol since he has already apologized to the country star with a CAPS blog post (read here) but the a-hole label should stick. Every year Kanye is bound to do something stupid, he craves the attention… too bad his music is not good enough to make him memorable.

Alecia Moore aka Pink was literally “hanging from things” as she promised and letting other things hang out for a special performance of “Sober” (watch video below) at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) held at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday (September 13).

The 30 year-old singer, who was first blindfolded then lifted up in the air, wore a purple leotard complete with pink-heart pasty to cover her exposed left nipple during the acrobatic performance, which was just amazing as it was dangerous.

Two of the fiercest, most beautiful ladies of the night, Shakira and P!nk wore the exact same dress for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) held at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday (September 13).

The ladies handled the situation pretty well and laughed about it while posing for the photographers together. I don’t think it’s fair to ask since both Shakira and P!ink looked absolutely gorgeous but who owned that dress?? Who wore it better: Pink or Shakira!?!?

Actress/singer Beyonce was not only the biggest winner of the night but proved to be a real classy lady when she called Taylor Swift and gave the young country singer her moment to shine at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) held at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday (September 13).

You cannot miss Beyonce’s fierce performance of the hit “Single Ladies” (watch video), which earned her the MTV VMA for Video Of The Year. I think it’s pretty clear Beyonce beat Lady GaGa, who took home the moon man for Best New Artist.

UPDATE: Kanye West Apology On Jay Leno VIDEO

After ruining Taylor Swift’s moment at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday (September 13), Kanye West used his blog to try to apology in CAPS to the teen country sensation, her mom and her fans. Kanye had already been behaving like a total loser when he arrived with Amber Rose and his old friend Hennessy (photos)!!

Kanye wrote, “I’M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD’VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE’S IN THE BLEACHERS! …….. I’M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!…….. BEYONCE’S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!!

Isn’t this the lamest apology ever!?! Yep, Kanye had to watch the rest of the show at home because his performance was canceled and he was politely invited to leave the Radio City Music Hall in NYC after the incident.

Country singer Taylor Swift won her first “moonman” and was left completely speechless when Kanye West took the stage and interrupted her to praise Beyonce at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) held at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday (September 13).

Taylor performed her song “You Belong With Me” down in the New York City subway and then up on top of a cab (watch video). Later, the glorious Beyonce gave up her own speech time to finally let Taylor have her moment (watch video).

Beyonce with an aerobic performance of ‘Sweet Dreams/Single Ladies’ complete with unitard at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) from Radio City Music Hall in NYC.

Beyonce, who continues to evolve into the class of today’s hip-hop generation, won the Video of the Year at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).

Beyonce used the moment to call Taylor Swift back onto the stage so she could have her moment to shine. Earlier, Kanye West had jumped on-stage and hijacked the moment when Swift won Female Video of the Year. West took the mic from Swift and told the audience that Beyonce’s ‘Single Women’ was “one of the greatest videos of all-time!”

Swift was surprised and appreciative. She used the moment to thank everyone she would have thanked earlier before West intruded.
