Way to go Neil Patrick Harris for doing such amazing job hosting the show. When it comes to winners I am bummed about Family Guy, but I am OK with wins for Michael Emerson, Kristin Chenoweth, Bryan Cranston, Jon Cryer and I called this one when I reviewed the show Toni Collette for United States of Tara. The rest are pretty much Emmy standard, But I can’t complain too much because they finally nominated outside the box. Let’s hope next year they continue that trend!
Paramedics were called in to look at Kristin Chenoweth after much deserved Emmy win according to Access Hollywood.
The star, who won her first Emmy award earlier on Sunday evening for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy for her role as Olive Snook in “Pushing Daisies,†first complained about a migraine headache, then said she couldn’t open her eyes.
Thankfully she Kristin Chenoweth just Tweeted she is doing better, “sometimes the aura of a migraine. im warding it off w meds then gonna hit the town! thx 4 ur love n well wishes!!!”
Poor girl to have something like that ruin her wonderful night. Seriously how awesome was her speech? It made me cry with her. Damn you ABC for cancelling Pushing Daisies one of the only two shows that brought you home Emmy gold tonight!

Brad Pitt is in Spain to promote Inglourious Basterds at the 57th San Sebastian Film Festival and he debuted his scruffy beard and initialed shoes. And all I have to say is where is Angelina Jolie when he needs her? I saw that earlier in the week she was doing some goodwill trip somewhere in the world, but really her goodwill is needed to clean up her man. I mean the normally dapper actor wasn’t looking so good with his unkempt beard. Now I understand he is in between movies since Moneyball was put on hold and he can let his facial hair go wild, but he can still keep it neat at press events? Is that too much to ask? Now when it comes to the shoes, that is so cheesy. Seriously shoes with his initials on it? I mean I know he is not as recognizable as normal, but c’mon we all know that is Brad Pitt. We don’t need the BP on his shoes to identify him.
BTW on an Inglourious Basterds note, looks like the movie will becomes Quentin Tarantino’s best grossing movie in The States this weekend surpassing the $108 million Pulp Fiction made! Mazel tov!!!

SOW: I’ll take Dummies for $1,000 Alex
Alex: Wolf Blitzer
SOW: Who sucked big time on Jeopardy?
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer was on Jeopardy yesterday and to say his sucked would be beyond an understatement. The anchor from what “used to be the most trusted name in news” ended in negative territory and had his a$$ handed to him by Andy Richter. The producers of Jeopardy felt so bad for Wolf that they had to zero out his score because according to the show rules during Celebrity Jeopardy all players have to play Final Jeopardy. Ouch!
How embarrassing for CNN to have their most trusted anchor do so horribly on Jeopardy. I mean you would think after all those of years of covering the news of day that that would make Jeopardy super easy for him, and not have him be such a big failure. I mean he lost out to Andy Richter and Conan O’Brien’s sidekick is not the smartest of all the sidekicks. I guess that proves that Wolf is just a news reader because he obviously doesn’t retain anything he reports on that is not DC related???
Good thing I can’t watch the anchor who is as exciting as watching paint dry because I would feel cheated watching him after see how bad he did on Jeopardy. I totally do crappy when I watch Jeopardy, but hey I was never an anchor at CNN and I thought CNN anchors were suppose to be smart.
Today is a sad day in the soap opera world as the longest running television show Guiding Light signs off forever with episode 15,762. Guiding Light premiered on the radio in January 1937 before switching over to TV June 30, 1952 and today after broadcasting for 72 years it says goodbye. It is truly sad when any soap opera end its long run, but this one is the saddest because it is the longest.
Thanks to Guiding Light for leading the way for all the remaining soap operas left on TV.
