We did a double-take when we saw Zooey Deschanel at the Emmys. She looks uncharacteristically sophisticated, but also quite beautiful. Having been to many awards shows, it occurred to us that hers must be a difficult dress to wear for such a long evening – how do you keep the wrinkles out? How do you sit down for hours on end? How do you party afterward?

Here’s an interesting couple: Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton are filming “Life Itself” in Brooklyn. They play a longtime married couple who have always lived in the same apartment and find themselves overwhelmed by personal and real estate problems when they plan to move away from the city. It’s based on film critic Roger Ebert’s book “Life Itself: A Memoir.”

Cher appeared on The Today Show this morning and we could SWEAR that during her interview Matt Lauer let a secret slip out. We thought we heard him say that Cher had big news about her ENGAGEMENT. There was an awkward silence and the subject was abruptly changed and they talked about something else. Did Matt spill the beans or did we imagine it? Cher has been hanging out with writer Ron Zimmerman and says that she learned to keep her private life private. We wonder if anyone else saw this on the show…

One of the most noteworthy looks on the red carpet at the Emmys was certainly the tragedy of Mad Men star Jon Hamm. When he appeared onstage as a presenter his big beard dominated the TV screen and on ours it looked like it was dyed black. Yikes! Why do handsome men do this to themselves? Hamm just “decided to stop shaving for awhile.” So we were deprived of a look at his manly face. He’s far too young and attractive to hide behind a beard.
Heidi Klum’s bodyguard boyfriend Martin Kirsten is in the habit of taking charge when the family goes shopping at The Grove. He walks confidently in the lead- perhaps to frighten off paparazzi. Heidi’s kids are very fond of him so let’s hope the relationship lasts awhile. We wonder if he got a raise when he started dating Heidi.

Bad things are happening since Courtney Stodden, 19, became something of a reality star in the UK. She appeared for 3 weeks on their popular Celebrity Big Brother show without her husband Doug, and flirted with some of the young guys. Doug, 53, seemed very fearful that she might decide she doesn’t need him any more. And probably for good reason. Courtney went out to The Whiskey Mist club – again without Doug- and got herself liquored up. She couldn’t walk and had to be helped to a taxi by a young man, and looked rather happy about it.

Kanye West’s colossal ego continues to amaze us. According to The Hollywood Reporter, West has ordered TWO armored vehicles for 1.2 million dollars each, with all the frills. (His and Hers?) We always thought that only popes, dictators, drug lords, and terrorists bought this type of SUV, so Kanye must think he’s awfully important. Frankly we have never heard of a celebrity shot in his car simply for being famous so why does Kanye feel the need for this protection? Maybe he has a beef with some gangster rapper, who knows…
Dakota Johnson had her feelings hurt when she was announced as the female lead in “Fifty Shades of Grey” and rabid fans of the book cruelly denounced her. (It really wasn’t fair.) Leading man Charlie Hunnam caused a similar uproar and he ended up with increased security. When Charlie showed up at FX’s Sons of Anarchy premier in Hollywood he was the only cast member surrounded by bodyguards. According to The Hollywood Reporter, they weren’t hired by FX, the guards were sent by Universal, the studio doing “Fifty Shades of Grey.” He’s valuable now.

Jack Klugman’s son is absolutely right. Adam Klugman told The Hollywood Reporter that he is outraged because his father (who died this year at age 90) is not included in the special memorial tribute on Sunday’s Emmy show. The academy is featuring five special memorial salutes this year and Cory Monteith of Glee is among them, but not Klugman. Jack Klugman was a TV pioneer who spent five decades in our living rooms. He won 3 Emmys and sorry, but The Odd Couple trumps Glee any day. Adam says the Emmy organizers are touting Monteith to draw younger viewers. He’s right. It’s a cheap maneuver.
Hey, it’s not easy to avoid losing your balance when you have humongous implants and ridiculous platform shoes. Not to mention the hair in your face and sunglasses! Teen bride Courtney Stodden is in London where she’s giving Americans a bad name with her desperate attention seeking behavior.
