On Swedish TV, the show must go on, even if you're blowing chunks. Late night television presenter Eva Nazemson was hosting a phone-in game show on Sweden's TV4 Plus when a bad patch of menstrual cramps got her hurling.

Ever the professional, Nazemson stepped off camera ever-so-briefly and then returned, not only explaining herself but finishing the call she had taken before the nausea hit. Unfortunately, the guy's answer was wrong, but at least he got to be part of Swedish television history.

This article gives Nazemson's plucky perspective on the whole affair. Something to keep in mind -- while the longest extended version of the video we found runs only about a minute and a half, the lovely-even-after-vomit Eva stayed on the air for two hours after the initial spewage.

If this had been American TV, they'd have cut to commercial and had Kelly Ripa halfway home in a limo by the time Mrs. Butterworth's syrup hit the plate. Those Swedes have a hell of a work ethic.

Let's make one thing clear: Despite our recent shout out to Kathy Griffin, we here at TDR have nothing against Christians or any other people of faith. We are big fans of freedom of both religion and expression, and we are happily aware that most devout people are intelligent, thoughtful, reasonable folks. That said, what the hell is the matter with new The View host Sherri Shepherd?

It is one thing to not believe that you and your loved ones spontaneously evolved from muck via some sort of wacky biochemical accident. It is a whole other thing to not only state, "I don't believe in evolution, period," but to not have a stance on whether the Earth is flat or round.

Presumably, Whoopi introduced the topic, thinking Shepherd's answer to, "is the Earth round or flat" would be a definitive "round," thereby leading to the question of where a person of faith draws the line as to what scientific "facts" to accept. Instead, Shepherd replies, "I don't know." Not because of her faith, though, it seems. Simply because she's never thought about it.

And not only has Shepherd never thought about it -- not once, in forty years of life -- but apparently should she ever decide the issue is important enough to resolve, she'll be going to the library for the answer. Since all those instances of sailing, flying, and, you know, ORBITING around the globe that have taken place over the last few centuries are not evidence enough for her to suss it out on her own.

Wow. Just... wow.

Emmy Winners, Emmy Fashion, Emmy Host Ryan Seacrest -- everything about the Emmys this year was a little lackluster. To the point where the biggest moment of controversy was what WASN'T said.

Given that she's responsible for the most quoted acceptance speech of all time, it seems more than a little strange to cut off Brothers and Sisters' Sally Field, mid-sentence. But that's what someone at Fox did, just as she was warming up to a statement about how mothers shouldn't support the war in Iraq. Behold the machinations of Rupert Murdoch's network, as the producers cut from Ms. Field, mid-"goddamn" to a dark empty stage. Subtle, guys. Real subtle.

But because the broadcast wasn't censored in Canada, we're able to feature the full version here. No official statement has been made by the producers, but speculation revolves around whether it was the clear political bent of her speech, or her use of the curse "goddamn" (which has been acceptible on air for several years now), that lead to her mike being shut down. All I know is that as fun as other moments of the Emmys, such as Rainn Wilson and Kanye West's rap battle and the Colbert/Carell/Stewart group hug, feel crass and tainted. Thanks, Fox. Thanks a bunch.

Over here at TDR, we are obligated to bring to you, our dear readers, the latest in viral videos. Sometimes, that can get a little tedious, as the Net often becomes the soapbox for manufactured scandals. Case in point, this video of Jerry Lewis coughing up the F word during a recent muscular-dystrophy telethon (we're referring here to the six-lettered version that ends with "t").

So, yeah, Jerry Lewis said the word "faggot" on television. He's also 81 years old, raises millions to help kids, has a famously dirty mouth, and cut himself short right after he said it. (And let's not forget that the French think he's positively Wellesian.) This is a major scandal? Apparently so. Here's what GLAAD president Neil Giuliano told TMZ: "We want to sit down with him, help him understand why these words are so hurtful, and give him an opportunity to raise public awareness about the destructive impact of these kinds of anti-gay slurs, even more so in attempted humor."

Will Jerry meet with Neil? Is a trip to rehab in order? Can he go to jail for this? Will he make an impassioned plea on Letterman, begging his fans for forgiveness? We get the feeling that the answers to all of these questions is an emphatic no. At least we hope so.

UPDATE: Jerry has since apologized. Also, the original video was pulled from Daily Motion. So here's CNN and their three-minute segment about this scandalous controversy. Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor are have been spotted rolling in their respective graves.
