Busy Philipps hosted a live version of her talk show, Busy Tonight, following the Golden Globes. Her guests were comedian Whitney Cummings, writer Ira Madison III, actor Tommy Lenk, comic Rhea Butcher and the bunnies from The Favourite, who mainly just wanted to talk about what it was like to work with Emma Stone.

Busy was wearing the lovely black and white polka dot dress that she wore to the 2011 Golden Globes when she’d accompanied her best friend, Michelle Williams. That year, Michelle won for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn. The actual award, however, never made it back to New York with Michelle. Instead, it resides on Busy’s bookshelf here in California. That is, it will, until Michelle can wrest it back from Busy.

I love Busy, I really do, and I’d be happy if her talk show became a success, but she has got to 1) stop relying on the teleprompter so heavily and 2) stop playing with her hair. As far as the GG statue, Michelle will need to order a dupe, Busy isn’t giving it back. Look at how she’s clutching it. At the 5:35 mark, Whitney takes it and Busy barely lets it go, only to reclaim it eight second later. No one else gets to touch it after that. Busy’s ownership was cemented when Michelle neglected to get the plaque made for it. If it had Michelle’s name, people would ask Busy why she still had it but without that, you know Busy has passed that off as hers. I would have, “Oh, that? I can’t believe you even saw that on the center shelf with the pin light directly on it. I don’t know, I think one reviewer referred to me as ‘transcendent.’ Whatever – tea?” And how many acceptance speeches has Busy given to her hall mirror with that trophy? I’d bogart that thing so bad, it would take the authorities to get it back. Busy knows what’s up.

And I agree with Tommy, I’ll bet Michelle has enough awards that she probably forgets about it all the time. Michelle might need room for more if her Fosse/Verdon movie is as good as the teaser released Monday. Michelle plays the dancer Gwen Verdon, who was married to Bob Fosse. I kind of wish Michelle would play something other than a beleaguered wife, but Verdon was a brilliant, complex artist, as was Fosse, so I am here for this. Plus, there’s the Sam Rockwell bonus:
