If you’re like me, and you absolutely hate the show (OK, ‘hate’ is a strong word … let’s use ‘abhor’), you probably couldn’t give a crap less. Because watching psuedo-celebrities dance poorly onstage is not my cup of tea, a show like this would need much, much more in order to sway my interests. This year, however? I’m finding myself intrigued; not because the show’s finally won me over, and not because there are rumors that Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is supposedly going to be a contender (that was a big, big red ‘x’ as far as I’m concerned), but because there is such a weird array of possible ‘celebrities’ that may or may not be taking part in this year’s Dancing With the Stars.

Among the many rumored to be on this season? The aforementioned Situation, Brandy (yes, Brandy Norwood), Bristol Palin, interestingly enough, Michael Bolton, former NBA player Rick Fox, football player Kurt Warner, David Hasselhoff, Audrina Patridge, Florence Henderson of The Brady Bunch, and she of former teen stardom, Jennifer Grey. Yeah. Dirty Dancing Jennifer Grey. Epic.

You guys can find out who’s on the official roster later tonight after Bachelor Pad airs. And no, you don’t have to watch the show in order to find out who’s starring on DWTS. You’re welcome.

You know, sometimes I could give a crap less about actual awards shows, save for the usually-awesome after parties and their photos. There’s nothing fun about watching stars sitting in the audience, all prim and proper, seated next to their fuddy-duddy husbands or wives, and talking to and brushing elbows with all of the people that their publicists suggest. Bo-ring.

So, for all of you behind-the-scenes freak-a-leaks out there, I’ve compiled a gallery of the best of the best of the after parties — the HBO After Party. I mean, Tom Hanks was there. And you know he wouldn’t go to just any Emmy after party. So, enjoy. And watch these people get cuh-razy. Because that’s what after parties are for. Especially for the Emmys. Those wild and crazy, untamed bastards. Get nuts.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Jennifer Lopez on a bad day without her customary ass pads?

Nope. It’s just Hilary Duff, taking a morning stroll after an exercise class.

Winner here is DEFINITELY Kathy Griffin’s mom. Rock on, Maggie.

In this gallery: Hope Davis, January Jones, Jayma Mays, Jenna Ushkowitz, Jimmy Fallon and Nancy Juvonen, Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt, Jorge Garcia, Julia Ormond, Julie Benz, Kate Flannery, Kathy Griffin (and her mom!), Kristen Quintrall, Amy Poehler, January Jones, Kiernan Shipka, Jane Krakowski, Glenn Close, Joel McHale and wife Sarah Williams, Tracy Morgan and some chick.

I think this pretty much wraps it up, dress-wise! Enjoy your Emmys, kids!!!

Winner here is Entourage‘s Emmanuelle Chriqui. She looks like a Greek goddess. I’ve been in love with her forever, and she absolutely nailed it tonight.

In this gallery: Tina Fey, Toni Collette, Shaun Robinson, Mario Lopez, Betty White, Carrie Preston, Heather Morris (that’s the ditzy blonde girl from Glee), KayCee Stroh, Al Pacino and some chick (please say that’s his daughter!), Amber Riley, Ariel Winter, BJ Novak, Brooke Burke and David Charvet, Chris Colfer, more of Christina Hendricks’ breasts (because they are awesome), David Burtka and Neil Patrick Harris (out and proud, yo!), Ed O’Neill (good God he’s old now), Emily Blunt with John Krasinski, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Eva Amurri and Susan Sarandon, Eva La Rue, Giuliana Rancic, and Heidi Klum.

Winner of this group: Rutina Wesley. Despite the fact that Tara is rapidly becoming the Izzie Stephens of True Blood (shut up and stop crying), Rutina hit it out of the ballpark tonight with this look. Breathtaking.

In this gallery: Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Kate Gosselin, Kathy Griffin, Katrina Bowden, Keri Russell and some double-stick tape, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, Kim Kardashian, Lara Spencer, Lo Bosworth (who stopped by the Emmys on her way home from her Mad Men audition, apparently), Lauren Graham, Lauren Sanchez, Maria Menounos, Mariska Hargitay, Mary Hart, Maura Tierney, Mindy Kaling, Nancy O’Dell (either pregnant or forgot her Spanx tonight), Olivia Munn, Rutina Wesley (that’s Tara from True Blood, but you wouldn’t guess it from the picture), Sofia Vergara and Terri Seymour.
