2007 Best & Worst: TV moments
Ellens Iggygate meltdown
It was the clip played around the world: Ellen DeGeneres takes a break from her funny, self-deprecating shtick and sobs on her daytime talk show, all over a dog named Iggy. A media storm ensued as the battle played out in the press. (Reed Saxon / AP)
Sally Field gets censored at Emmys
Was it the goddamn or the comment about the Iraq War that got Sally Field censored by Fox at the Emmys? “Let’s face it, she said, if the mothers ruled the world, there would be no goddamned wars in the first place.” But viewers at home didnt hear or see a thing. Instead they saw a giant disco ball blocking out Field and her speech. (Vince Bucci / Getty Images)
Britneys comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards
A low point for MTV, Spears, television, and the world, Britneys performance at the VMAs was clearly a ratings ploy for an awards show that is losing its relevance. Spears, dressed in a sequined bikini, sleep-walked her way through a dull performance, allowing backup dancers to do all the work for her. Even a Kid Rock/Tommy Lee scuffle at the show didnt put a damper on all the bad press Spears incurred. (AFP / Getty Images)
