GOLDEN GLOBES ON THE BOOB TUBE
We have made fun of spastic Brittany Murphy so we were humbled when she pulled through looking like a goddess at the Globes. But we were totally shocked when it was revealed that the delicate frock was fashioned by those traditionally flashy Italians, Dolce & Gabbanna. Hats off to the tasteful trio. On another note, it was obvious that every stylist told their client that spillage plays well on the TV, which explains why everyone showed up showing major cleave. Some hot looking offenders included; Marg Helgeberger in racy red, Mary Louise Parker who thanked her newborn for her ample bazooms, gorgeous and pregnant Debra Messing with her new cleavage, Jennifer Aniston in her navel grazing buckle, J-lo's Creamsicle hip-hiding gown, and of course, Nicole Kidman's frequent adjustments to her ode to a Nancy Kerrigan skating costume.

THE BOOB TUBE CONTINUED
You have to be a grade A sleuth to uncover these types of photos. We scoured our sources to find this gem at left which was snapped at some nameless European awards ceremony (surprise, neither won an award for warbling). We ponder, which one looks more like Stevie Nicks? And on the right you see the promo poster for a Pepsi commercial featuring Pink, Beyonce, Britney, and Enrique as um, gladiators.
