Though all the girls look great, blah, blah, blah, we're only really concerned with one thing in this photo – Alexis Bledel's shoes. These gorgeous Alaia shoes appear extremely hard to pull which is why mostly only supermodels like Naomi Campbell wear Alaia stuff. But Alexis, a mere mortal, manages to make them work with her equally unique dress.

Just had to give a little shout out because those are just some killer kicks.

America Ferrera was dressed to win at the 2008 ALMA Awards. And win she did! America walked away with the Entertainer of the Year award not to mention a landslide of A+ reviews for her adorable strapless Diane von Furstenberg dress, adorable Christian Louboutin peep toes and the yummy red lip. But what we loved most were those stunning fan Fred Leighton earrings. To die.

And may we add, America is such an excellent role model. She has a killer fashion sense, knows what to wear and how to wear it, but still looks like she can have her cake and eat it too, literally. Kudos America. We need more lush ladies like you around!

We told you that Ugly Betty was packing it up and heading off to NYC. Now it looks like they might try to branch out into some kind of all-singing, all-dancing Broadway musical when they get there. According to cast member Michael Urie -- who plays assistant Marc St. James on the show -- a project that started with the idea to turn one episode into a musical is now being spun off into an actual stage production. Here's what he told Britain's Heart FM:

"They do want to do an "Ugly Betty" musical, a full-on Broadway musical, but it's all hush-hush. I think it would be great, and they should use the cast from the show. I think we would all do it, although we maybe don't dance and sing as well as professional singers and dancers. I think it would be fun for us to do it for a while, and then they could get real people in. They definitely want to do an episode that is a musical one, but then they want to do a full stage show. I think it's a great idea. It would definitely work."

Building a fake New York City in the back lots of LA is expensive and difficult -- not to mention ridiculously unnecessary when there's a perfectly good real NYC only a few thousand miles away. Apparently, Ugly Betty's producers have finally caught on to this revolutionary concept, and insiders say the whole production is headed for the East Coast. No more green screens of New York skylines or LA streets dressed up to look like New York -- next season's Ugly Betty will be shot in the real Gotham.

We're a little confused over why they even started filming the show in LA, except maybe that they didn't expect the show to last 2 seasons, but they were obviously dead wrong. Now that they're looking at the long-term, ABC execs are looking for ways to cut down costs and still get that authentic New York vibe. We think they'll be happy with their decision. New Yorkers Vanessa Williams and Ana Ortiz are probably happy about it too.

Naomi's had a crazy year thus far: she had an emergency surgery in Brazil in February and then was arrested for hocking a loogey on a cop in London's Heathrow Airport in April. Now, it seems that the rage-prone supermodel will be toning it down and getting back to business with a cameo in the season finale of Ugly Betty. It's about time that her agent found her something to do that would net her some good PR for a change.

Typically after a big red carpet ceremony like the Emmy's you see designer knockoffs -- for humans. This year the knockoffs have gone to the dogs, literally to the dogs. Doggie fashion label Little Lily carries designer inspired gowns for your pooch. For $88, your dog can wear America Ferrera's Monique Lhuillier gown. If blue is not really your dog's color, perhaps she will look better in Katherine Heigl's white Zac Posen gown for $120.

Honestly, I don't get it. I am not opposed to people dressing up their pets (in fact that is the one of the reasons I want a pet), but where do you take a dog in doggie gown? Out for a night on the town or to a nice steak dinner?

It's sick really. I still can't figure out what bothers me more -- dressing up your dog in a gown or paying $120 for that gown. I have human dresses that cost less than $120. Am I alone here? Does anyone out there think this is okay?
