Katherine Heigl's wardrobe malfuction at ShoWest
When co-managing director of ShoWest, Robert Sunshine, said Katherine Heigl was being named Female Star of the Year in part for her "comedic timing," well, he had no idea how good her timing could really be.While (soon-to-be ex?) "Grey's Anatomy" star accepted her award onstage Thursday (March 18) night in Las Vegas, her dress straps broke. Yes, during her speech.
Luckily the night's emcee, Billy Bush, rushed to the rescue and held her straps in place while she made it through her speech.
Not missing a golden Twitter opportunity, Bush posted the incident on his page:
"Oh my. Hosting showest awards in LV. Heigl comes up to get award, dress strap breaks...I hold her top on while she accepts!"
Bush didn't have dress strap duty all night though. A safety pin secured her dress in the press room afterward.

The fact that this twit can win an award for performance is ridiculous.
You don't have to like her, but you can't deny she's a good actress. She has a lot of charisma on camera. I hate Russel Crowe and I have zero interest in seeing one of his movies, but I think his acting is superb. I've seen enough to know that.
As for the wardrobe malfunction, wowsers. Pretty funny. When did Katherine Heigl go super dark? I like it, but it's a shocking change.
Oh, and Billy Bush is a tool. And a douche.
Cheap *** dress!
Forget the dress - what's up with the Morticia Addams hair?!?!
she looks like Callie from Grey's here...
she looks terrible as a brunette. And Female Star Of The Year? For What? The Ugly Truth and a handful of Grey's Anatomy appearance?
She has gone dark before - see the last season of Roswell. I think she may naturally dark, but you know Hollywood loves blonds!
I do wonder who she was wearing!
