Idol Headlines for 09/20/09

Who will win Emmys and why: All award mysteries finally explained (including why crazy Hollywooders keep voting for schizo roles)

Basically, I think Emmys are going to make like a TV repeat this year and bring back last year’s winners in all top series races: best drama (“Mad Men”), lead drama actor (Bryan Cranston, “Breaking Bad”), lead drama actress (Glenn Close, “Damages”), best comedy (“30 Rock”), lead actor (Alec Baldwin, “30 Rock”), lead actress (Tina Fey, “30 Rock”). Here is my full list of predictions, which you should compare with those of other experts pooled by Gold Derby.

Believe it or not, such mass repetition has never happened ‘” all of the top champs returning, that is. It may seem like Emmy winners get rubber-stamped all the time and they often do, but not en masse like that.

Philip Green to throw a 50th birthday party for Simon Cowell at his Palladian mansion

When a billionaire throws a party for a millionaire, the lucky guests might rightly be expecting a night with plenty of X Factor.

And those who turn out for Simon Cowell’s 50th birthday bash will surely not be disappointed.

The multi-millionaire music mogul will celebrate his birthday at a huge party organised by his best friend Sir Philip Green – with the billionaire retail tycoon said to be planning a no-expense-spared occasion ‘fit for a king’ at a Palladian mansion.

Last night, sources close to Sir Philip, who is understood to be worth about £4.9billion, said he had overseen all the details of the spectacular party, which is expected to cost more than £500, 000.

Reality star Payne dances her way to ‘Fame’

Bubbly and unpretentious, Kherington Payne comes across as exactly the same fresh-faced girl who charmed fans of the reality show “So You Think You Can Dance” with her exhilarating Viennese waltz, spitfire krumping and, of course, the impassioned Mia Michaels number with Stephen “Twitch” Boss known as the “bed routine.”

Growing up in Southern California, Payne took to competition, in the dance studio and on the sports field. A dancer since age 2, Payne got most of her early training at the Dance Precisions studio in Yorba Linda (Orange County), but she was also an avid soccer player in school.
