But Season 4 of Bravo TV's reality series took it to a new level. At the center of this year's drama was new cast member Gretchen Rossi, a 30-year-old blond bombshell engaged to 50-something auto magnate Jeff Beitzel, who was battling leukemia. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/-JMqRJuUypwYNZ7GOrikHTrGDLk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/-JMqRJuUypwYNZ7GOrikHTrGDLk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/-JMqRJuUypwYNZ7GOrikHTrGDLk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/-JMqRJuUypwYNZ7GOrikHTrGDLk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~4/QPgImWIhzqE" height="1" width="1"/> Mon, 15 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700 http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/emmys/env-en-housewives15-2009jun15,0,1982374.story?track=rss http://feeds.latimes.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~3/vzDACeN7dP0/env-en-jersey15-2009jun15,0,7773560.story 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' aren't shy about voicing their opinions, and family is a huge part of their lives, but most other comparisons to the renowned drama series is just hype. <br/><br/> They may live in McMansions and tawk like this, but "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" say comparisons to "The Sopranos" are pure baloney, or is that Bolognese? <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/b_jQxxeH0xCBDHFdxQl0UDnAwng/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/b_jQxxeH0xCBDHFdxQl0UDnAwng/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/b_jQxxeH0xCBDHFdxQl0UDnAwng/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/b_jQxxeH0xCBDHFdxQl0UDnAwng/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~4/vzDACeN7dP0" height="1" width="1"/> Mon, 15 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700 http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/emmys/env-en-jersey15-2009jun15,0,7773560.story?track=rss http://feeds.latimes.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~3/QlVo1k4cVkg/env-en-stars15-2009jun15,0,5448727.story It started as a sleeper summer sensation, but now the show is a powerhouse; about 20 million burgeoning ballroom fans tune in each week. <br/><br/> Take two parts ballroom dancing, one part celebrity watching, one part live television mishaps, sprinkle in a dash of glitter and a pinch of schmaltz, and you've got " Dancing With the Stars." The ABC reality show in which relatively famous people are paired up with professional dancers and judged on their ballroom skills was a sleeper summer sensation when it premiered in 2005 and now, after eight seasons, seems to be as alluring and sparkly as ever -- with 20.3 million TV watchers tuned in last month to see Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson vault over French actor Gilles Marini to take home the title. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/a4bVdPcFjJwviRgX9pbAgOrV4PQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/a4bVdPcFjJwviRgX9pbAgOrV4PQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/a4bVdPcFjJwviRgX9pbAgOrV4PQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/a4bVdPcFjJwviRgX9pbAgOrV4PQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~4/QlVo1k4cVkg" height="1" width="1"/> Mon, 15 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700 http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/emmys/env-en-stars15-2009jun15,0,5448727.story?track=rss http://feeds.latimes.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~3/9TlwWdWu3VQ/env-en-duchovny10-2009jun10,0,3941486.story The confusion around "Californication" begins with its title. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/IbKozL12iZ6xqJzPz7vXMfuUx7I/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/IbKozL12iZ6xqJzPz7vXMfuUx7I/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/IbKozL12iZ6xqJzPz7vXMfuUx7I/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/IbKozL12iZ6xqJzPz7vXMfuUx7I/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~4/9TlwWdWu3VQ" height="1" width="1"/> Wed, 10 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700 http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/emmys/env-en-duchovny10-2009jun10,0,3941486.story?track=rss http://feeds.latimes.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~3/3VKZlGpagKM/env-en-watercooler10-2009jun10,0,4429051.story They have to be given a label when it comes to Emmy consideration.

But even though the market for Palin impressions has dwindled, the busy creator of NBC's "30 Rock" has still managed to appear on the cover of the January issue of Vanity Fair and will star alongside Steve Carell in the 2010 release "Date Night" for 20th Century Fox. While shooting the film in L.A. in April, Fey took time out of her frenetic schedule to discuss her TV series. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/znfug1dauxD4ukEL7jRqDgj2pv8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/znfug1dauxD4ukEL7jRqDgj2pv8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/znfug1dauxD4ukEL7jRqDgj2pv8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/znfug1dauxD4ukEL7jRqDgj2pv8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~4/5oJsWju9IDw" height="1" width="1"/> Wed, 10 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700 http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/emmys/env-en-feyqa10-2009jun10,0,2644449.story?track=rss http://feeds.latimes.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~3/mn7J28llmU4/env-en-krasinskiqa10-2009jun10,0,6661870.story John Krasinski plays an inert salesman on 'The Office,' but he's a fervent fan of the show. <br/><br/> John Krasinski is a runt. At 6 feet, 3 inches, he is a full 5 inches under the shorter of his two brothers and 6 inches below the taller. And, he says, they're both far better basketball players than he (one played pro ball in Amsterdam). But don't weep for the 29-year-old Krasinski, as things aren't going too badly for him off the court. He has shared a pair of SAG Awards for best ensemble for the NBC comedy " The Office," in which he plays paper salesman Jim Halpert and which has completed its 100th episode; he stars in the new Sam Mendes film, "Away We Go"; and he's awaiting the release of his directorial debut, "Brief Interviews With Hideous Men," which he adapted from the David Foster Wallace stories and saw premiere at Sundance last January. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/C-THYjvEiaKnThezj5f1dVEL72k/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/C-THYjvEiaKnThezj5f1dVEL72k/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/C-THYjvEiaKnThezj5f1dVEL72k/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/C-THYjvEiaKnThezj5f1dVEL72k/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~4/mn7J28llmU4" height="1" width="1"/> Wed, 10 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700 http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/emmys/env-en-krasinskiqa10-2009jun10,0,6661870.story?track=rss http://feeds.latimes.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~3/DYFPutbUo_M/env-en-himym10-2009jun10,0,6834166.story It won't do any good to scream, 'Robin, nooooo!' at your TV. . . she's hooking up with the resident cad of 'How I Met Your Mother.' Funny how love is. <br/><br/> Actress Cobie Smulders admits she was apprehensive when she first learned that her character on CBS' popular comedy " How I Met Your Mother," newscaster Robin Scherbatsky, was about to become smitten with the show's notorious ladies' man, Barney Stinson. After all, there's no faster way to ruin a long-running series than to begin pairing off the main characters -- consider it the "Moonlighting" rule of episodic television. ¶ Mostly, Smulders says, she didn't want to take Robin immediately from one love interest (in this case, stand-up architect Ted, played by Josh Radnor) to Neil Patrick Harris' morally dubious Barney quite so quickly. ¶ "For a while, I was confused about that," Smulders says. "But I think it's a very endearing pairing, Barney and Robin. It's an interesting dynamic to watch." <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/THDAMaIFKHEla8XMu5WZDp7BS_Q/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/THDAMaIFKHEla8XMu5WZDp7BS_Q/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/THDAMaIFKHEla8XMu5WZDp7BS_Q/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/THDAMaIFKHEla8XMu5WZDp7BS_Q/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~4/DYFPutbUo_M" height="1" width="1"/> Wed, 10 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700 http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/emmys/env-en-himym10-2009jun10,0,6834166.story?track=rss http://feeds.latimes.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~3/ARKrCzLzYxU/env-en-colbert1-2009jun01173713,0,2529447.story The comic actor-writer's character is a man of the right, and the comic-actor loves playing him. <br/><br/> To use a word coined by Stephen Colbert, the writer and actor, there's a certain "truthiness" about Stephen Colbert, the character and host of Comedy Central's " The Colbert Report." Indeed, Colbert the character, a right-wing blowhard on a one-man mission to reeducate the ignorant, is convincing enough that a recent Ohio State University study found that a majority of conservatives polled believed Colbert the man was one of them. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/LwJ9nvrY7RuPnFh3xZ2-SUXdObc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/LwJ9nvrY7RuPnFh3xZ2-SUXdObc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/LwJ9nvrY7RuPnFh3xZ2-SUXdObc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/LwJ9nvrY7RuPnFh3xZ2-SUXdObc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheEnvelopecom-EmmyAwards/~4/ARKrCzLzYxU" height="1" width="1"/> Mon, 1 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700 http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/emmys/env-en-colbert1-2009jun01173713,0,2529447.story?track=rss
