Katherine Heigl, the actress who plays Dr. Izzie Stephens on Grey’s Anatomy, experienced a classic wardrobe malfunction during her acceptance speech at the ShoWest Awards.  The award was for Female Star of the Year and was given last week in Las Vegas.  As soon as the strap on her dress broke, the emcee, Billy Bush, helped Heigl out by holding the strap up from behind and over her shoulder.  Of course, it wasn’t without a second thought, as he revealed on his Twitter account:

I fought some adolescent instincts. HahaRT @thebikinichef: @billybush: at least she had you to help her. Can you imagine?!

Apparently there may have been a precursor to the incident behind the scenes, when Heigl had her interview with E! Online (see the clip above).  At the end of the interview you can see that something on her dress pops and she goes on, saying that she thinks all is well.  Obviously, as the later incident showed, all was not well.

Afterwards, Heigl was able to temporarily repair the damage to her dress with a safety pin.  And now that you know that Billy Bush had some adolescent thoughts just as he made the decision to help Heigl’s on-stage mishap, watch the video again and closely check out his expression.  Oh yeah, he was holding back all right.  Too bad this wasn’t a live show.  If it had been we might have some actual video of the event instead of photos only.
