‘Mildred Pierce’ leads the way in the Primetime Emmy Award nominations.
The HBO mini-series scored an astonishing 21 nods when the nominees were announced this morning (14.07.11) by Melissa McCarthy and Joshua Jackson, including Outstanding Lead Actress In A Miniseries Or A Movie for Kate Winslet, Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Mini-series Or A Movie for both Tom Wilkinson and Guy Pierce, Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Miniseries Or A Movie for Evan Rachel Wood, Melissa Leo and Dame Maggie Smith, and Outstanding Miniseries or Movie. Elsewhere, ‘Mad Men’ – which received 19 nominations – has the chance to take Outstanding Drama for the fourth year in a row, while ‘Modern Family’ could again scoop Outstanding Comedy, with the category amongst the 17 nods the sitcom earned. John Hamm received his fourth nomination in a row for Outstanding Actor in a Drama and could receive his first win in the category as ‘Breaking Bad’ star Bryan Cranston – who has taken home the honour at the previous three ceremonies – was not eligible to win this year as the show took a break between seasons. Other leading nominations included Prohibition-era drama ‘Boardwalk Empire’ with 18, ‘Game of Thrones and ’30 Rock’ with 13 each and 16 for ‘Saturday Night Live’. Despite being dropped by the History Channel and subsequently picked up by the lesser known ReelzChannel, ‘The Kennedys’ scored an impressive 10 nominations, including Outstanding Miniseries or Movie. The 63rd annual Primetime Emmy Awards will take place on September 18 and will be hosted by Jane Lynch.

Tom Ford to show at London Fashion Week
Tom Ford is to show at London Fashion Week for the first time.
The designer is to showcase his new collection at 6pm on Sunday, September 18, unlike last season where he opted against a formal catwalk presentation in favour of intimate appointments with key members of the press.
Other designers to show for the first time at the British Fashion Council’s event include Teatum Jones – who will present their spring/summer 2012 collection on opening day – and Peter Jensen, who returns from a stint at New York Fashion Week.
Matthew Williamson, Giles Deacon, Burberry Prorsum, and Temperley London are among the other designers and fashion house who will present their new collections during London Fashion Week.
As well as showing at London Fashion Week for the first time, Tom is also preparing for the release of his first cosmetics collection.
Tom Ford Beauty’s first Cosmetics Collection – a complete range of make-up, skin treatments and luxury brushes – will be on sale in selected stores from September before a widespread launch in October.
Tom Ford Beauty President Caroline Geerlings told The Moodie Report: “The Tom Ford Beauty Collection was designed with the very discerning global luxury consumer in mind, and will only be available in highly-selective points of distribution.
“As this luxury consumer travels the world, the travel retail channel is an ideal way of connecting with her.”
Chris Colfer discovered Glee axe on twitter
Chris Colfer found out he was leaving ‘Glee’ through twitter.
The actor – who plays Kurt Hummel in the TV musical comedy – claims he only learned he and co-stars Lea Michele and Cory Monteith wouldn’t be returning after the third series on the social networking site.
He said of the axing: “I found out yesterday on Twitter. Yeah, I found out that they made that announcement. I didn’t necessarily know that it was going to be our last season next year, I knew something like that was coming up eventually. I mean, we can’t be there forever. I don’t necessarily want to leave so soon, but I mean, it’s fine.”
Although he will be sad to go, Chris will look back on the show with great pride.
He said: “It’s what it is. And all things come to an end. As a performer, I feel so fulfilled. I have two Emmy nominations and just from hearing from people out in the world about how much the character has helped people. If it’s time for a conclusion, I’m fulfilled with it, and I’m fine with it.”
Speaking about the decision creator Ryan Murphy – who insisted more characters will leave than stay – said: “We made that decision and I involved Chris and Lea and they thought that was a good idea. They both trust the writing and trust me and felt that it would be great to have an open and closed experience for them to go out while they were on top.”
Cory wasn’t consulted about the decision, but Ryan explained: “He knows he was a sophomore when the show started.”
Daisy Lowe to pose naked for Playboy
Daisy Lowe is set to appear naked in Playboy.
The 22-year-old model – who has previously posed for fashion publications Vogue and W – will strip off in an eight-page spread in the September edition of the iconic men’s magazine, which is set to be released on August 12.
Daisy – who is currently dating ‘Doctor Who’ actor Matt Smith – will travel to editor Hugh Hefner’s famous Playboy Mansion for the photo shoot.
The beautiful brunette – who is the daughter of musician-turned-designer Pearl Lowe and Bush rocker Gavin Rossdale – previously posed topless for the 2010 Pirelli Calendar and admitted she found the sexy shoot liberating.
She said: “It was quite freeing, being able to be naked for a week.”
Daisy has previously explained being “sexy” is a “big part” of her identity, and she believes it is empowering for women to be in control of their sexuality.
She said: “I suppose I’ve been very in touch with the ‘sexy’ thing since I was 15.
“I guess it’s a big part of my identity, something that I have learnt to switch into. It’s because I’m a girl’s girl. I’m not the bitchy girl who’s trying to make your boyfriend fancy me. The only reason I ever ‘do’ sexy is because I like to encourage women to feel sexy about themselves.”
Kate Hudson names son Bingham Hawn
Kate Hudson has named her new son Bingham Hawn.
The actress and her rocker fiance Matt Bellamy welcomed their little boy into the world on Saturday (09.07.11) and while his moniker was initially kept under wraps, the Muse frontman has now announced it.
Writing on his twitter page, he said: “So happy! Just had a baby boy, Bingham ‘Bing’ Hawn Bellamy. Mum and baby are strong and healthy. Mum was a warrior, Bing popped out after 4.5 hours of intense pushing!”
While it is not known where they got the idea of Bingham from, it is thought the tot’s middle name pays homage to Kate’s mother Goldie Hawn.
Following his birth, the couple asked for “celebration trees” to be planted for their son, just as they did at Kate’s baby shower.
Matt and Kate – who has a seven-year-old son, Ryder, with ex-husband Chris Robinson – plan to spend the next few weeks at the rocker’s London home while Muse record a new album.
Funda From Made in Chelsea In Cosmetic Surgery Ad?
Frost isn’t entirely sure, but as we were flicking through our issue of Glamour magazine we saw a cosmetic surgery advert in the classifieds that looked suspiciously like Funda from Made in Chelsea. A women who looks exactly like her is holding up a sign saying;”I’ve just had my breasts done, but the biggest change you’ll see is on my face.” Hmm.
Ever since we noticed the advert had been in a lot more magazines, not just in the classifieds and in a bigger ad space. Coincidence? Let us know what you think.
Lea Michele to leave Glee
Lea Michele will leave ‘Glee’ at the end of the next season.
The actress will see her character Rachel Berry graduate from McKinley High at the end of the third series, along with Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith and other, as yet, unnamed cast members.
Creator Ryan Murphy – who insists more characters will leave than stay – told The Hollywood Reporter: “We made that decision and I involved Chris and Lea and they thought that was a good idea. They both trust the writing and trust me and felt that it would be great to have an open and closed experience for them to go out while they were on top.”
Cory wasn’t consulted about the decision, but Ryan explained: “He knows he was a sophomore when the show started.”
The scriptwriter insists several characters had to leave because they are supposed to be school students, and therefore they would graduate and go on to college or continue their lives.
Ryan explained: “You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticise you for not being realistic or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year.”
While season three will be Lea’s final, Ryan promised she will still take centre stage.
He said: “I’m much more interested in Lea’s character – not so much on her relationship with Finn, but more on what her dreams are beyond high school and how she plans on getting them. That’s what my senior year was about.”
Ted Danson joins CSI
Ted Danson will replace Laurence Fishburne on ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation’.
The former ‘Cheers’ star will play the new supervisor for the Las Vegas based investigative team after Laurence left the show last month when his contract was not renewed due to falling ratings.
Carol Mendelsohn, executive producer of the show, said: “You can create a new character on the page, but until the perfect actor comes along and breathes life into it, it’s just words. We’re very excited Ted Danson came along.”
Executive producer Don McGill added: “From the moment we all started talking about the role, it was clear he couldn’t be more perfect. Intelligence, wit, warmth, depth of character and emotion, he brings it all. And now he’ll have to bring latex gloves, too.”
It has been reported that both Robin Williams and John Lithgow were offered the role before 63-year-old Ted accepted.
‘CSI’ will begin its 12th season in America on September 21.
Laurence – who played Dr. Raymond Langston – joined the programme two years ago to fill the void left by William Petersen, after he quit his role as Gil Grissom.
