Celebrity Recap - September 2001
The Emmys have been rescheduled and the TV networks are coming together to help out. We know what happens when a pussycat hooks up with a knight. And did you know your parents think Buffy blows?
The Primetime Emmy Awards has been rescheduled. Originally supposed to air on Sunday September 16, 2001 the show will now air on October 7, 2001. Host Ellen Degeneres' opening monologue has been axed and a skit poking fun at Bush and Gore has also been cancelled. It is reported that the show will have a moment of silence to honor David Angell, Emmy-winning producer of Frasier and Cheers, who was aboard one of the flights that crashed into the World Trade Center Towers.
Major TV networks, NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX are reportedly joining together to air a telethon on Friday September 21, 2001. If it happens, it will be the first time in history that the same telethon airs on all major networks at the same time. The show will reportedly be two hours long and will raise money for relief and recovery efforts after the terrorist attacks on DC and NY. Celebs said to be making an appearance are George Clooney, Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise.
What happens when a pussycat meets a knight? Sparks fly, that's what. Tara Reid (Melody from Josie and the Pussycats) and Heath Ledger (William in A Knight's Tale) met in the airport in London. The two shared a flight to Paris and reportedly hung out together for two days while in the city of love. Tara recently split from fiance Carson Daly and Heath is said to be involved with actress Jordana Brewster. Tisk! Tisk!
Buffy has a lot to deal with lately. Not only is she dead, but the Parents Television Council recently rated Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the third worst show on TV. Well, Buffy might be dead but Sarah Michelle Gellar is alive and kicking and she told Entertainment Weekly, "They just make me laugh so hard. I say, 'Come debate me. I want to see you bring your arguments to my face. Because you will lose - so quickly.'"
