Emmy winner Kristin Chenoweth had a tough time during a wonderful night Sunday. Her publicist says that Kristin, who won Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Pushing Daisies, suffered a rather serious migraine after her win. According to her publicist, Chenoweth started feeling symptoms after her win and during media interviews.
The actress later laid down to try and subdue her pain. She was then checked out by paramedics backstage and began to feel better, hoping to join in on the post-Emmy festitivies.
I’m happy for Kristin. She’s a great actress who seems to be finally getting her due praise, even if it’s for a show that’s been, you know, canceled. And, like every good performer, Chenoweth is able to overcome difficulties and deliver. If I were her, I’d probably be bawling backstage and pleading for drugs from the paramedics. But that’s just me.

DeLay DeDancing
We still have a week until the premiere of Dancing with The Stars but already a cast member has been injured. That’s right, disgraced House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has hurt his foot while rehearsing with dance partner Cheryl Burke.
From DeLay’s twitter: “Old age is catching up to me. May have a stress fracture in my foot. No worries, it’ll take more than that to keep me off the dance floor.”
And right DeLay was as later in the day he updated his tweet saying that he didn’t have a stress fracture and that he’d “live for another day.” Sorry Democrats.
We’re not sure how hurt DeLay is and how this will affect his performance but it looks like he’ll be around. The show premieres on September 21 so there is still plenty of time for someone to slip on a banana peel or have a piano dropped on them. Surely, this will be the first of many celebrity injuries.

Ms. Gosselin and the new look
What do you all think of Kate Gosselin’s new haircut? She debuted it today while guest-hosting The View and doesn’t she seemed pleased as punch about it. I know that many, many, many, many (many, many, many) people are happy to see her old look go. I think she looks happy and bright here but maybe a little too Elisabeth Hasselbeck for her own good. Careful, Kate, the last thing you want is to mimic her.

Okay, I promise that this will be my last story regarding Kanye West. In case you didn’t hear, the man had a heart-to-heart with Jay Leno last night regarding his outburst at the VMAs on Sunday night. I think Kanye was sincere in his Leno appearance and, with a little break, can put this behind him.
But, before we put this story to rest, let’s see what President Obama has to say about it. In an off the record portion of an interview with CNBC (where he was talking about important issues like, oh, I don’t know, health care reform!) Obama said that Kanye acted like a “jackass”.
The remarks were caught by ABC newsman Terry Moran. His tweet was as followed: “Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.” Since the comments were off the record and not for public viewing, Moran later took the tweet down. But it was too late. Now everyone knows Obama’s opinion.

IF it were up to Jay Leno, we would see a 24 hour version of The Jay Leno Show on all channels seven days a week, as it stands, I will have to turn the channel five nights a week at 10 p.m. (instead of 11:30 p.m.) thanks to NBC’s decision to kick scripted television to the curb and air a bloated primetime version of the late night variety show hosted by Jay Leno.
While NBC spots advertising Leno’s new show (and they are endless,) tout Leno as an alternative to “crimetime” there is nothing funny about folks in the entertainment industry, in front and behind the camera, hammering tears over the amount of jobs that have dried up as a direct result of Leno’s new primetime monster.
With actors and studios avoiding Leno like the black lung, he is in serious trouble booking his new show with anyone meaningful and thus has resorted to calling in all favors from the likes of the bulletproof Jerry Seinfeld, who is to be Leno’s first guest.

Whitney Oprah
Whitney Houston’s voice may have failed her on “Good Morning America” this week, but her new album is expected to soar to No. 1.
This week’s performance came with a little hullabaloo as Houston’s voice gave out, Houston blamed the outage on, of all people, Oprah. “I’m sorry. I did ‘Oprah.’ I’ve been talking so long … I talked so much, my voice, I shouldn’t be talking, I should be singing,” Said Houston, who made excuses for her less than stellar croon.
Industry know-it-alls are predicting Houston’s first album in seven years “I Look To You” — will easily hop in to the No. 1 position according to the Billboard 200 chart.

The View, that wonderfully popular gabfest that seems to constantly generate headlines, is doing it again. This time, the news is about the upcoming guest hosts. Victoria Beckham, Meghan McCain, LaToya Jackson and Kathy Griffin are all scheduled to sit in on the ABC show during the month of September. Victoria Beckham, really? I must say that that’s a pretty big catch for The View. She’s not very inclined to do anything! And she always looks dour so it’ll be exciting to see her chat it up with the ladies.
Meghan McCain (who will surely talk politics) is up first, then the rest of the girls get their shots. I don’t really watch The View (I’m more of a Maury guy when it comes to morning TV) but I’m expecting some pretty good headlines from these guest hosts. Maybe some bickering, maybe some talk about the late Michael Jackson? Anything’s possible on The View!

Eric Dane
News broke late yesterday that Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane was in a leaked sex tape with his wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart, and model Kari Ann Peniche. The full video will be released later today. However, from what we’ve seen, the term “sex tape” seems a bit inappropriate. More appropriate would have been the term “boring video of three friends wandering around stoned and naked”. But I guess that doesn’t have the same enticing charm, does it?
The video (well, the parts I’ve seen anyway) has the Grey’s star, his wife and Ms. Peniche in a few forms of undress. They discuss their would-be porn names, flop into a hot tub and roll around on a bed. And they’re all obviously stoned. Fun times. While there is nudity, there appears to be no actual sex. Perhaps the real juicy parts will be released today but I have a sneaking suspicion there are none. That’s good news for the parties involved, who are already trying to get the video offline. Attorney Mark Singer made this comment late Monday:
