WHILE TWITTER ON this side of the Atlantic was having a meltdown over the #BaeOfPigs, the 2015 Emmy Awards was in fulls swing in Los Angeles.
Here are the bits you might have missed…
1. How frigging hot it was
It was around 100 degrees Fahrenheit on the Emmys Red Carpet yesterday evening.
That’s around 38 degrees Celsius. Roasting. ROASTING.

Hensons, the Kerry Washingtons, the Halle Berrys, the Nicole Beharies, the Meagan Goods, to Gabrielle Union, thank you for taking us over that line.
11. Andy Samberg and the Castle joke
The Nathan Fillion ABC cop comedy/drama Castle returns for its eighth season in the US tonight, and its longevity provided the ‘best joke’ of Emmy host Andy Samberg’s musical number:
