Pregnant Heidi Klum turns heads at Emmy red carpet
2009-09-20
LOS ANGELES - The firefighters working the red carpet at Sunday's 61st annual Emmy Awards were worried that at least one reality TV star might be going home with more than just a trophy. "Hey, did you see Heidi Klum? She's like 8 months pregnant. So you be ready, you might have to deliver," fire Inspector Jim Fisher said to his colleague Craig Hancock as they and other authorities hustled Emmy VIPs into the Nokia Theatre. A bystander asked Fisher if he knew what Klum, the host of "Project Runway," was wearing. "Don"t ask a guy wearing polyester that kind of question," replied Fisher, dressed in a white uniform shirt and fire-resistant gray pants. "What about me? This is wool," piped up Sgt. Pete Foster, who was wearing a wool shirt. ___ The Emmy trophy table has moved up in the world. The offstage stop containing dozens of real Emmys, not the fake ones recipients are handed onstage, used to be located in a nondescript section of a parking garage. This year it's in an air-conditioned, red-carpeted section of the Nokia Theatre roof. Emmy winners exit the theater through a back door, then head for the table, where they trade in their generic trophy for one of the real ones. A nameplate with their name and the category in which they were honored will arrive in the mail later. ___ Associated Press Writer Raquel Maria Dillon contributed to this story.
