Emmy Nom Shortlist Revealed

The folks over at the L.A. Times' Envelope were the lucky recipients of some assorted BlackBerry messages from judges at the Emmy contenders panel screening over the weekend, and, based on that input, they've compiled a list of the top ten contenders in the two key categories. They were also kind enough to point out some of the snubbed series in these categories. From their site:
TOP 10 DRAMA SERIES FINALISTS Boston Legal Dexter Friday Night Lights Grey's Anatomy Heroes House Lost Rome The Sopranos 24 Not Nominated: Deadwood Rescue Me The Tudors The Shield Brothers & Sisters Gilmore Girls Battlestar Galactica The Riches TOP 10 COMEDY SERIES FINALISTS Desperate Housewives Entourage Extras My Name is Earl The Office Scrubs Thirty Rock Two and a Half Men Ugly Betty Weeds Not Nominated: The New Adventures of Old Christine How I Met Your Mother Everybody Hates Chris
Perhaps most amusing are the comments they actually received from the judges. Says one judge: "I gave my number one vote to 'Lost." It was by far and away the best thing in the room in my opinion, followed by 'Grey's Anatomy.' I didn't think I was going to be able to make it through 'Rome.' That show is absolutely stroke inducing. A minute more and I would have cracked." The same judge says: "'30 Rock' would win with [their submitted episode]. Watch out for that show. That's all I have to say. Haha. I wasn't really even that much of a fan before today." That's right, folks. The people choosing your Emmy winners are the same people haphazardly typing "Haha" into their BlackBerries. Shedding further light on all the MFA thesis analysis that goes into these decisions, another judge notes that he "thought 'Entourage' was the best. I ranked it number one, but maybe that's just because I love the show so much as a regular viewer." He put 'The Office' "somewhere in the middle — I can't remember." Good God, people. Joan Rivers puts more thought into analyzing the dresses people wear to the Emmys than you put into choosing the winners. The Emmy noms will be formally announced on July 19. />The folks over at the L.A.

Top Chef Host Padma Lakshmi Slices Salman

Top Chef Host Padma Lakshmi Divorces Salman Rushdie Padma Lakshmi, perhaps best known on the Top Chef set as the resident herb enthusiast, is divorcing her much older husband, controversial author Salman Rushdie. A rep for Rushdie stated today that "Salman Rushdie has agreed to divorce his wife, Padma Lakshmi, because of her desire to end their marriage." The New York Post seemed to catch a whiff of trouble before the news officially broke. On June 29, they noted that "Lakshmi was spotted hanging out into the wee hours at the Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel with a well-known chef who was there witho...

A Beautiful Tribute

As an add-on to my previous post about the Princes' concert for their mom, Diana, here is a video that aired at the end of the concert.

Monday Morning Music

Well yes it isn't the morning...but I really haven't been up for very long today so it counts in my mind. I have to say I love iTunes free music downloads. It has given me some great music including miss Sara Bareilles. I just bought myself a ipod Shuffle and I kept having this song, "Love Song" come up and every time I was just thrilled. It is bouncy, fun and perfect for summer. She has an awesome voice and I am a new fan. I usually hate posting live videos of songs because they rarely are better than their recorded versions. She rocks this out and is going to be a big star very soon. Enjoy "Love Song" by Sara Bareilles. />Well yes it isn't the morning...but I really haven't been up for very long today so it counts in my mind. I have to say I love iTunes free music downloads.

Nick and Vanessa: Hardcore Sex Pictures for Sale?

Nick Lachey Vanessa Minnillo Nude Photos on Vacation Just last night, I was wondering when the uncensored photos of Nick and Vanessa vacationing nude would hit the Internet, but today it seems the couple has more to worry about than the photos of their naughty bits. Rumor has it that a much dirtier set of pictures were taken that day, of Nick and Vanessa having some hardcore sex in a hot tub, in a variety of positions. Says a source: "These pics make the Vanessa and Lindsay photos look tame!” While it's unlikely a U.S. tab would run these pictures, even censored, they could possibly be sold to an adult ...

Kate Middleton…Back in the Circle of Trust?

harry-kate-chelsey-will.jpg There are many rumors circulating that Kate Middleton is back with Prince William. She attended the "Concert for Diana" and did sit in the Royal Box but in the back rows far away from Prince Harry, Chelsey Davy and William. I don't know what girl could sit behind her ex-boyfriend and not be a bit emotional when she sees his brother and his girlfriend being all lovey dovey. Methinks that they have quietly gotten back together but didn't want it to overshadow the concert. ...

Prince William and Harry Rock On to Celebrate Diana

14477759spasulka72200793230am.jpg I was thrilled when I heard that Prince William and Harry were going to get the chance to put on a concert to celebrate the life of their mother Princess Diana. Back in the day I was a huge Princess Diana fan. I admired her grace, beauty and the fact that she used her extreme celebrity to do good works all over the world. She was the first "Saint Angelina" and for a while made the British monarchy cool. Harry and William are following in their mother's footsteps and becoming true celebritie...

Some Parts of Pamela Anderson Turned 40 on Sunday

Pamela Anderson 40th Birthday Party at Planet Hollywood Casino Pictures and Photos At the Planet Hollywood Casino in Las Vegas. Tommy Lee was there, of course, along with Hans Klok, the magician whose Vegas show she appeared in this summer. And if she weren't 40, I'd totally be all like, "Check out that baby bump." But, you know, she's 40, so this is just what her stomach looks like now. Which isn't really the worst thing ever, but I probably would have chosen a different dress. ...
