Best: Berry Lovely
Even that whole 'Lipstick Jungle' fiasco didn't faze Hollywood pro Brooke Shields. Her appearance at the 2008 Emmys in a stunning raspberry-hued Badgley Mischka gown -- complete with a beaded top and cascading ruffled train -- proves you can't keep a good actress down.

Worst: Straight Up
Before she was judging 'Idol' hopefuls, Paula Abdul was an Emmy-winning choreographer. Too bad she couldn't arrange a better outfit for the '89 Emmys -- her stylist called this hideous white dress with matching long gloves a mix between Cinderella and Audrey Hepburn. In what universe, we're not sure …

Best: She's Not Blue
Halle Berry -- who won an Emmy in 2000 for 'Introducing Dorothy Dandridge' -- returned to TV's biggest night in 2005 as a double nominee (for 'Their Eyes Were Watching God' and 'Lackawanna Blues') in a strapless blue Ungaro gown with a flowy, cascading ruffle front. Sure looks like a winner to us.

Worst: Falling Out of Love
Jennifer Love Hewitt made it to the top of our worst list, arriving at the Emmys looking ready for the prom in a black and white Carolina Herrera gown with braided detail and a giant messy updo. And before you ask, this was in 2008, not the early '90s. Sigh.

Best: It's the Pitts
Way back in 2000, life seemed so perfect for Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. The 2000 Emmys saw Jen looking effortlessly chic in a red Prada column gown and a low ponytail, and Brad ditching the traditional tie for a "Jen" necklace instead. Ah, to be young and pre-Angelina again …

Worst: Stepping Out
Accepting a win for her 'Ellen' in 1997 -- the same year her much-publicized coming out episode aired -- Ellen DeGeneres walked the red carpet with then-girlfriend Anne Heche in matching, color-coordinated ensembles and matching, color-coordinated 'dos. We prefer our Ellen with a little more originality.

Best: Pretty in the City
Riding high on her fifth consecutive nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy Series, 'Sex and the City' star Sarah Jessica Parker went even more glam than Carrie Bradshaw in a delicious pale pink meringue-like Chanel confection at the 2003 Emmys. She may not have won the statue, but she did garner serious style praise.

Worst: Wrestle Mania
Who ever told wrestler-turned-actress Chyna Doll that leather and studs were appropriate for the Emmys? The outlandish star's skin-baring look at the 1999 awards show raised a lot of eyebrows and even more questions. Namely, who invited Chyna to the Emmys?

Best: Pretty in Pink
In her 'Law & Order' days, Angie Harmon made a name for herself on the red carpet by ditching the rules. Her eye-catching fuchsia Randolph Duke gown at the 2000 Emmy Awards even had an extra surprise: a gorgeous purple layer peeking out at the hem.

Worst: The Glitter Girl
Emmy-winning actress and performer Barbra Streisand borrowed her 2004 Emmys look from another over-the-top performer: Liberace. Wearing a pink crushed velvet off-the-shoulder gown and matching long cape, the 'Funny Girl' got laughs for a different reason.

PAULA IS CUTE AND FUNNY. I WON'T BE WATCHING IDOL ANYMORE; NOT WITH FREAKA ELLEN !
Paula is probably a very sweet person, but she rarely had an original comment. I pressed "mute" when she spoke. We'll have to see what Ellen offers.
Wheat the hell is wrong with you people? Stop trashing Ellen, you people are obviously haters. Yeah, Pauala was good on AI, but she talked too much...........Ellen will give the show new life...they already have THREE judges who are experts in the industry.....it doesn't freakin' matter that they Ellen doesn't....she's funny and will ad new life to the show. I hope all you idiots who are trashing her just leave the rest of us alone to enjoy her on American Idol.
By LifeLifelong Ellen Generes she knows nothing abut being a judge. I will ********* again id she does get the job.
