Sofia Vergara having her dress fixed (WhoSay)Sofia Vergara was happy to show some skin at the Emmys last night – her teal Zuhair Murad mermaid dress featured sexy cut-outs in the front and back – but she revealed a little more than she planned.

Twenty minutes before the actress and her Modern Family co-stars took the stage to accept the award for Outstanding Comedy Series on Sunday, the zipper on her gown broke, leaving her posterior exposed. The 40-year-old Colombia native reacted quickly by wrapping her fiancé Nick Loeb’s tuxedo jacket around her waist and running backstage to get emergency repairs from her style team.

How the story differs from most A-list wardrobe malfunctions: Vergara later posted a photo of the very revealing incident on WhoSay and tweeted a link to her 2.7 million Twitter followers. The not-safe-for-work photo (which you can see here) showed a portion of Vergara’s exposed rear as well as her underwear. A second photo showed a woman actually stitching up the

Phyllis Smith as a burlesque dancer circa 1978/79 and as Phyllis Vance on 'The Office'

In "The Office," Phyllis Smith is endlessly amusing as Dunder Mifflin Sabre sales rep Phyllis Lapin-Vance, who is sweet with a sassy side. In the years the show has been on the air, we've grown used to seeing her character in cardigan sets and carrying knitting needles, so when we discovered a photo -- purportedly of Smith -- from her days as an NFL cheerleader, we were all over it. Our original story, which you can read here, detailed her yearlong cheering gig with the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1970s. The accompanying photo showed a pretty young woman in red-and-white cheer gear -- and really awesome helmet hair, popular in that era. The only problem? While Smith was a cheerleader, the photo -- which is all over the Internet -- isn't of her, and she called us out on it.

Color us embarrassed!

Smith, who is hard at work of Season 9 of the show, is a great sport, though, and called us up to discuss this case of mistaken identity, which has been following her for some time. (Just do an

While being interviewed on “Extra” Thursday, the “Desperate Housewives” star fielded questions from show host Mario Lopez about her rumored romance with the much younger New York Jets quarterback. After jokingly telling Lopez, who is a close friend, that he was an “a--hole” for prying into her personal life, Longoria finally admitted, “Mark and I are, you know, fine. We're happy just dating.”

The 37-year-old actress has been linked to the hunky NFL star – who is only 25 – since July. Throughout the summer she has made frequent trips to see him and they have been spotted out and about all over Manhattan as well as in more remote spots in New Jersey, where Sanchez lives. One of those sightings, which took place late last month, was on the patio of Sanchez’s cottage retreat at Donald Trump’s swanky National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. The New York Post ran a photo of Longoria and Sanchez dining outside with some other

Just a few years back, when you thought of daytime talk shows, "The Oprah Winfrey Show" was likely the first one that came to mind. For 24 consecutive seasons, it was the No. 1 daytime talk show, and Winfrey -- known as the queen of daytime -- won so many Emmys for her hosting work that she took herself out of the running altogether. When her show went off the air in 2011 -- which coincided with some long-running soap operas fading to black -- suddenly the market was open wide, and networks were more than eager to take chances on some new talk shows. Make that several new talk shows. In the week ahead, we'll be introduced to three of them -- "The Ricki Lake Show," "Katie," and "The Jeff Probst Show" -- all of which premiere on September 10.

While any of these new shows might become the next big hit, as "go time" approaches the biggest interest is surrounding Katie Couric's new show. For much of the summer the "Katie" host has been in publicity overdrive for the show, which will be

Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan (Getty Images)If the buzz is to be believed, when Kelly Ripa makes the big announcement about her new “Live!” co-star on September 4, she will be saying the name “Michael Strahan.” Yep, the gap-toothed former NFL star will reportedly be the new Regis Philbin.

Strahan, 40, has certainly been well-received by the morning show’s audience, who hooted and hollered when he ripped off his pants and performed a “Magic Mike”-inspired strip tease on the show late last month. And there has long been buzz that out of the 59 guest hosts who “auditioned” for the role with Ripa since Philbin retired in November 2011, Strahan was at the front of the pack. Stephen Battaglio, who is the business editor for TV Guide, explains the reasoning behind the pick to Yahoo! TV. “She is comfortable with him," Battaglio says. "He's filled in on the show many times, so Disney ABC Television was probably able to do a lot of research on how the audience

Writer's note: After publication of this story, it was brought to our attention – by Phyllis Smith herself – that the woman in the cheerleading photo below is not "The Office" star. Our mistake didn't turn out to be the worst thing – the affable actress was kind enough to share with us multiple personal photos from her days as an NFL cheerleader as well as when she was a burlesque dancer, strutting the stage with "strategically placed feathers and G-strings with feathers covering our rumps." See the photos -- and read our new interview -- here.

(Chris Haston/NBC, Herbert Weitman/WireImage.com)On “The Office,” Dunder Mifflin Sabre customer sales rep Phyllis Lapin seems very motherly with her Christmas sweaters, knitting needles, and awkward comments about sex. But the 61-year-old actress who portrays the saleswoman Phyllis Smith got her start as an NFL cheerleader and burlesque dancer.

This photo of Smith has been trending on Reddit. It features a big-haired Smith during her days as a St. Louis Cardinal cheerleader in the 1970s –

LeVar BurtonDepending on when you were born, you will likely have different associations when you hear the name “LeVar Burton.” There was his groundbreaking role in the 1977 miniseries “Roots” that first put him on the map. You don’t have to be a hard-core Trekkie to remember his “Star Trek: The Next Generation” (1987-1994) character Geordi La Forge, the visor-wearing helmsman of the Enterprise. And for 26 years, children went on educational adventures with him as host of the beloved PBS series “Reading Rainbow.” Since the kids’ show ended its run in 2009, Burton has been “gliding under the radar” he tells Yahoo! TV, but now he’s back in a big way with a guest role in “Perception” – and a re-imagined version of “Reading Rainbow.”

The 55-year-old makes his debut as a university dean on TNT’s new crime drama “Perception,” which stars Eric McCormack as a schizophrenic college professor who helps the FBI solve crimes, on Monday, August 20. The role – playing Deal Paul Haley – reteams Burton with

The original "Dallas" series will forever be remembered for having one of the greatest TV cliffhangers of all time. ("Who shot J.R.," anyone?) So expect big things when TNT's reboot of the popular drama airs its Season 1 finale on Wednesday night.

Yahoo! TV has an exclusive clip of what the network is touting as a "shocking season finale." In it brothers J.R. (Larry Hagman) and Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy), who have a notoriously strained relationship, battle it out yet again. However, this time Bobby clearly has the upper hand against his conniving sibling.

Rehashing the Marta Del Sol scam, J.R. tries to sweet-talk Bobby and make him think he wasn’t the guilty party. "I know you will refuse to believe me until the day I die, but I was not part of that Marta Del Sol fraud," J.R. insists. "I just ended up getting a loan from the wrong people."
