Mad Men’s win for best drama series marked the third consecutive time the 1960s hit took the prize, seeing off competition this year from Breaking Bad, Dexter, The Good Wife, Lost and blood-sucking vampire series True Blood.
Best comedy series winner Modern Family topped Curb Your Enthusiasm, Nurse Jackie, The Office, 30 Rock and Glee for its big win. The show’s Eric Stonestreet took home the night’s first prize, for best supporting actor in a comedy, while the hit also won best writing in a comedy series.
Musical comedy Glee started the evening as the most-nominated series after landing an impressive 19 nods, but the show failed to make a clean sweep – supporting actress Jane Lynch and director/co-creator Ryan Murphy walked away with wins while Glee star Lea Michele lost out on the best leading actress in a comedy to Nurse Jackie’s Edie Falco.
Hollywood stars took over a portion of the evening, as Claire Danes accepted the prize for best leading actress for her role in TV movie Temple Grandin, which also won the best made for television movie award and saw supporting actors Julia Ormond and David Strathairn take home prizes.
Meanwhile, Al Pacino’s You Don’t Know Jack scored two Emmys, for lead actor and writing, while Tom Hank’s The Pacific won for best mini-series.
The Closer star Kyra Sedgwick was a winner for best leading actress in a drama series, seeing off competition from The Good Wife’s leading lady Julianna Margulies. She took to the stage fresh from her defeat to present former ER co-star George Clooney with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award, to honor his use of television to help good causes.
Clooney used his speech to urge the media to put the plights of disaster victims on the front pages instead of headline-grabbing celebrities, telling the star-studded crowd: “It’s important to remember how much good can get done because we live in such strange times where bad behaviours suck up all the attention in the press and the people who really need the spotlight, the Haitians, the Sudanese, the people in the Gulf Coast… Pakistan, they can’t get any (press).”
This year’s show, hosted by comedian Jimmy Fallon, was opened with a rocking performance from the Glee cast and comediennes Tina Fey and Betty White, as the group took to the stage for a song and dance rendition of Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run.
Meanwhile, the spectacular ceremony was marked by an emotional in memoriam tribute by singer Jewel, who took the stage to play an acoustic version of an unrecorded song she dedicated to a friend who recently died of cancer.

Hmm. This isn’t exactly how we’d respond if we had just heard our husband was sticking it in another lady!
Sources claim that only hours after Bruce Springsteen‘s alleged affair to a New Jersey housewife became public, he was spotted getting DRUNK and going shopping with his wife Patti Scialfa in Palm Beach!!
A store clerk claims:
“They’re the cutest couple ever, doesn’t matter what the papers say. He adores her. They’re always together. They were feeling no pain! Bruce spent a lot of money but I can’t tell how much.”
HA. This lady’s got the right idea!
Nothing soothes the betrayal of a heart like a couple of cocktails and a major dent in your husband’s wallet, right, Patti?

Duped Springsteen Fans Get Their Money Back!!
Feb 19th

Good!! Justice IS served!!
Live Nation Entertainment Inc.‘s Ticketmaster unit has reached a settlement with federal regulators and will be refunding money to Bruce Springsteen fans who were misled to buy more expensive tickets to his concerts!!
Ticketmaster’s supreme SHADINESS was brought to light last year when people who tried to buy tickets for Springsteen shows were told there were no tickets found, and then were re-directed to Ticketmaster’s TicketsNow.com, a resale site, which were selling them for two, three, and even FOUR times the value.
The worst part – there WERE STILL tickets available, Ticketmaster just set up the bogus message.
Luckily, the Federal Trade Commission started an investigation, which found the company to use “deceptive bait-and-switch tactics.”
Live Nation claims there was a glitch in the system.
YEAH RIGHT.
Luckily, the settlement, finally reached today, will refund customers the difference between the marked-up price and the face value of the tickets they bought, and will ultimately total the company more than $1 million!!!
What a shitty thing to pull on innocent fans of the Boss!!!!
Shame on you, Live Nation!!!

[/img]
This Friday, several concerned celebrities will be gathering to participate in the Hope for Haiti television telethon originally organized by hottie George Clooney.
And in some very exciting news to every tween and Twilight fanatic out there, Robert Pattinson will also be making an appearance.
The hottie will be appearing from London and presenting via satellite. Also set to appear from England are Jay-Z and Bono who are scheduled to perform.
But good thinking with R-Patz. That will definitely help generate younger viewers old enough to donate themselves or beg their parents to donate and help.
Other celebs helping to present or manning the phone banks will include Brad Pitt, Zac Efron, Sandra Bullock, Renee Zellweger, Colin Farrell, Courteney Cox and many more. As for performers, we’ll get a taste of Taylor Swift, Christina Aguilera, Shakira, Alicia Keys, and Bruce Springsteen.
And hosting will be George Clooney in Los Angeles, Anderson Cooper in Haiti, and Wyclef John in NYC. The benefit is scheduled to last two hours and will air this Friday on all major television networks.
Make sure to tune in AND phone in!
