10 Reasons Why Your Guy Won’t Hate ‘New Moon’
The next unpredictable chapter of the Emmy Award® Winning, hilarious search for true love arrives on Blu-ray and DVD September 29 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.
Guest Starring: Regis Philbin, Sarah Chalke, Laura Prepon and Frances Conroy
It’s going to be LEGENDARY!
Ever dream of flying through the air with the greatest of ease like a Cirque du Soleil performer? So did How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris.
Alas, "At 35, I don’t think they’ll hire me, but I’m doing my best," he told OK! at M&M’s World in Times Square as he launched the “Real Chocolate Relief Act,” where he helped give away thousands of free chocolate candy bars in an effort to bring smiles and some needed relief to all.
Neil swoops through the air at the Cirque School in L.A., where anyone can sign up for classes that combine Pilates, trapeze and aerial workouts.
"Everyone should, at least once in their life, have the experience of hanging by their knees," says artistic director Aloysia Gavre. "The benefit of being healthy and having a toned body is just a suprise because you have such an exhilirating time during the class, you don’t even realize you’re exhausted."
Lindsay Price may have finally found a keeper in How I Met Your Mother’s Josh Radnor. The Lipstick Jungle star, 32,–who divorced producer Shawn Pillar in 2007 and has since been in a revolving door of relationships–and Josh, 34, showed up together at the Jan. 20 Svedka party at Guy’s in L.A. where they were inseparable.
"They were laughing so hard and cracking each other up," a fellow partygoer tells OK!. "They looked happy and were constantly touching."
As for this couple’s future? They’re looking to swap coasts and try living in NYC for a while. "He’s following her to fashion week–they’re really happy!" says the insider.
Speaking of fashion, Lindsay may want to watch her back at fashion week! A stage manager has been charged with stealing $30,000 of designer bags and clothes from the set of the actress’s show Lipstick Jungle and trying to sell them on eBay. The loot included 16 coats, bags and suits by Prada, Gucci, Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana.
It really is a jungle out there!
Can you hear the cash registers ringing?
The cast of CBS’ How I Met Your Mother, Neil Patrick Harris, Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders and Alyson Hannigan just signed deals with 20th Century Fox TV to raise their salaries, garnering them between $90,000 and $120,000 per episode, due to the show’s solid ratings and popularity, according to reports.
That might not sound like a lot (remember Friends stars nabbing $1 million per episode?) but in these tough economic times, any raise is still a raise. The raises represent between two and three times their previous salaries.
Fans of HIMYM will also be happy to know that the show has added an extra year on to the actors’ original contracts of seven years.
Looks like Lindsay Price is finding a good use for her free time since her NBC show Lipstick Jungle went on hiatus.
Not only has she found herself a new man, but friends tell OK! that he’s "basically moved in" after the whirlwind romance!
Lindsay, 32, has been quietly seeing How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor, 34, for a few months. The two met in 2007 when she guested on his CBS sitcom
“They’ve always been interested in each other but the timing wasn’t right,” Lindsay’s
pal tells OK!.
Now it is. “He basically moved in," says her pals. "All his stuff’s there. But it’s a very new relationship.”
This is Lindsay’s first big relationship since her split from hubby of four years, Shawn Piller, creator of TV hit, The Dead Zone.
The couple divorced in 2007 and has been playing the dating game until things started getting serious with Josh.
Meanwhile, Lipstick Jungle has been given a reprieve after rumors that it would be canceled.
Because the ailing show’s ratings shot up 50% after it was moved to Friday nights, NBC boss Ben Silverman has said that the network "may" commission more episodes people continue to tune in.
The 60th Annual Primetime Emmy awards are live on Sunday, Sept. 21 on ABC and the stars are surely getting ready and gearing up for the big event. Don’t know who to cheer for? Check out OK!’s picks to win, as well as TV Guide channel red carpet correspondent Lisa Rinna’s predictions for a few of the coveted awards.
REALITY-COMPETITION PROGRAM
Nominees: The Amazing Race, American Idol, Dancing With the Stars, Project Runway, Top Chef
Should win: The Amazing Race
Will win: The Amazing Race
The Amazing Race always wins this award, it seems, because frankly put, it’s well done, exciting, and instead of being filmed in a studio, it takes place all over the globe. We wouldn’t be surprised to see it nab the Emmy for the sixth year in a row.
HOST (REALITY PROGRAM)
Nominees: Tom Bergeron (Dancing With the Stars), Heidi Klum (Project Runway), Howie Mandel (Deal or No Deal), Jeff Probst (Survivor), Ryan Seacrest (American Idol)
Should win: Tom Bergeron
Will win: Tom Bergeron
Due to Ryan Seacrest overkill, we think the Emmy will go to Tom Bergeron, who acts fast on his feet during the live broadcast of DWTS and manages to be cheesy and endearing at the same time.
SUPPORTING ACTOR (COMEDY)
Nominees: Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men), Kevin Dillon (Entourage), Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), Jeremy Piven (Entourage), Rainn Wilson (The Office).
Should win: Neil Patrick Harris
Will win: Neil Patrick Harris
Besides the fact that NPH does a stellar job on HIMYM, he’s been highly visible this year, acting in Old Spice commercials and "Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog."
SUPPORTING ACTRESS (COMEDY)
Nominees: Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies), Amy Poehler (Saturday Night Live), Jean Smart (Samantha Who?), Holland Taylor (Two and a Half Men), Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty)
Should win: Amy Poehler
Will win: Vanessa Williams
While we’d love to see Amy pick this one up (as the first to be nominated in this category in 30 years, fans love Vanessa as evil Wilhelmina Slater, and it could be her turn for an Emmy.
SUPPORTING ACTOR (DRAMA)
Nominees: Ted Danson (Damages), Michael Emerson (Lost), Zeljko Ivanek (Damages), William Shatner (Boston Legal), John Slattery (Mad Men)
Should win: Ted Danson or John Slattery
Will win: William Shatner
Ted’s a TV institution, and John is a show-stealer on Mad Men, but for some reason we can’t quite put our finger on, it feels like this one will go to William’s work as inappropriate lawyer Denny on Boston Legal.
SUPPORTING ACTRESS (DRAMA)
Nominees: Candice Bergen (Boston Legal), Rachel Griffiths (Brothers & Sisters), Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy), Dianne Wiest (In Treatment), Chandra Wilson (Grey’s Anatomy)
Should win: Dianne Wiest
Will win: Candice Bergen
Backlash after Katherine Heigl’s antics this year has taken the shine off Grey’s Anatomy, so Sandra and Chandra are out. Dianne Wiest already has an Oscar and is brilliant as Gabriel Byrne’s therapist on In Treatment, but our guess is Candice’s TV past will get her the Emmy this year to add to the five she has at home for Murphy Brown.
OUTSTANDING ACTOR (COMEDY)
Nominees: Alec Baldwin (30 Rock), Steve Carell (The Office), Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies), Tony Shalhoub (Monk), Charlie Sheen (Two and a Half Men).
Should win: Alec Baldwin
Will win: Tony Shalhoub
While we feel Alec Baldwin was shafted last year due to bad press surrounding those voicemails he left for his daughter and has recovered nicely in the public eye, Tony Shalhoub has won six awards for his quirky role on Monk, the last in 2005, and who are we to mess with a record like that?
Lisa’s pick: Steve Carell
“I think he is so funny and talented and it is his turn to win. And he is always the best dressed!” she says of The Office actor.
OUTSTANDING ACTRESS (COMEDY)
Nominees: Christina Applegate (Samantha Who), America Ferrera (Ugly Betty), Tina Fey (30 Rock), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (The New Adventures of Old Christine)
Should win: Tina Fey
Will win: Tina Fey
Tina Fey is on a roll this year, having won the Golden Globe already in this category. Plus, she’s just brilliantly hilarious at all times and we can’t imagine her not winning this.
Lisa’s pick: Tina Fey
“She is a comic genius and it’s her year, I’m guessing. She is groovy cool and I always love her designer choices she makes on the red carpet!”
OUTSTANDING ACTOR (DRAMA)
Nominees: Gabriel Byrne (In Treatment), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Michael C. Hall (Dexter), Jon Hamm (Mad Men), Hugh Laurie (House), James Spader (Boston Legal)
Should win: Jon Hamm
Will win: Jon Hamm
Having won the Golden Globe for his role as ad exec Don Draper on Mad Men, we wouldn’t be surprised if Jon carries away an Emmy as well this year. Even if you haven’t seen the show, believe us, he is just that good.
Lisa’s pick: Jon Hamm.
“Just awesome, and so new and fresh," she gushes. "I can’t wait to meet him, I’m a big fan. And he’s hot!”
OUTSTANDING ACTRESS (DRAMA)
Nominees: Glenn Close (Damages), Sally Field (Brothers & Sisters), Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: SVU), Holly Hunter (Saving Grace), Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer)
Should win: Glenn Close
Will win: Kyra Sedgwick
Glenn deserves an Emmy for her hard-hitting role on Damages, but we think Kyra’s body of work on The Closer is such a wide critical success and favorite with fans that she’ll squeak out a win over Glenn and last year’s winner, Sally Field.
Lisa’s pick: Sally Field
“What a competitive field, all are so amazing. I think Sally’s work was phenomenal this season, as it always is and it just may be her time!" she says. " She wore a gorgeous Valentino last year and I look forward to seeing what designer she chooses this year!”
OUTSTANDING COMEDY SERIES
Nominees: Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage, The Office, 30 Rock, Two and a Half Men.
Should win: 30 Rock or The Office
Will win: 30 Rock
While both NBC shows are fan favorites, this is Tina Fey’s year and we think she’ll bring her show with her to the podium again for best comedy series over the popular Entourage, especially since Adrian and the boys were off TV for a year.
OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES
Nominees: Boston Legal, Damages, Dexter, House, Lost, Mad Men.
Should win: Mad Men
Will win: Mad Men
Although it’s currently only in its second season now, Mad Men has already scored 16 Golden Globe wins this year. So why not bag up the Emmy to go, too? Besides the winning streak, the highly-stylized retro show has garnered a lot of buzz, even among those who don’t watch it.
Watch Lisa and her co-host Joey Fatone work the red carpet on Live at the Emmy Awards on Sunday, Sept. 21 at 6 p.m. on the TV Guide Channel.
Following in OK! covergirl Britney’s footsteps, Live! host Regis Philbin will do an episode of How I Met Your Mother this upcoming season.
The talk show titan will play himself in the episode and run into Marshall (Jason Segel), who’s on a quest to relocate the restaurant where he had his first New York City burger.
Well, a nice, juicy one done right is hard to fine.
Look for Regis on HIMYM on Monday, Sept. 19 at 8:30 p.m. on CBS.
Here are the nominees in the main categories for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards. For the list of nominees, click here. The ceremony airs Sept. 21 on ABC.

"Dying is easy; comedy is hard." And it’s going to be even harder for shows to get Emmy nominations Thursday morning. With a well-rounded crop of series and acting talents to choose from, Emmy voters are going to have their work cut out for them. So who will have the last laugh tomorrow? OK! predicts the finalists for the comedy categories!
Comedy Series
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Pushing Daisies
The Office
30 Rock
Two and a Half Men
The only locks for nominations are NBC hits The Office and defending champion 30 Rock. It’s hard to bet against Curb Your Enthusiasm as well. The Emmy favorite should be back looking for its first win (it’s lost four times) and has a better chance at the "HBO spot" than Entourage, whose season concluded too long ago that it may not be fresh in voters’ minds. Two and a Half Men will take the sole "traditional sitcom" slot, leaving one more open for perhaps critically acclaimed freshmen series Pushing Daisies.
Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
Steve Carell, The Office
Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm
Tony Shalhoub, Monk
Charlie Sheen, Two and a Half Men
Ricky Gervais spoiled the two-man race between Alec Baldwin and Steve Carell last year, but he won’t have the chance to do so this year. Others who could though are three-time winner Tony Shalhoub, Charlie Sheen and Larry David, the latter two of whom are looking for their first win in the category. Keep an eye out for Golden Globe-winning Californication star David Duchovny, who could crash the party.
Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
Christina Applegate, Samantha Who?
America Ferrera, Ugly Betty
Tina Fey, 30 Rock
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, The New Adventures of Old Christine
Mary-Louise Parker, Weeds
The Academy never recognized Christina Applegate for Married…With Children (she did win a guest starring Emmy for Friends), but they will for Samantha Who?. America Ferrera should be back to defend her crown while Tina Fey will look to follow in America’s footsteps of sweeping the big three awards in a single season (Golden Globe, SAG and Emmy). 2006 winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus and perennial bridesmaid Mary-Louise Parker are the safe picks for the last two spots, which means the Desperate Housewives could be shut out yet again (first time was in 2006). Should one make it in, it will probably be Marcia Cross.
Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Jon Cryer, Two and a Half Men
Neil Patrick Harris, How I Met Your Mother
John Krasinski, The Office
Jeremy Piven, Entourage
Rainn Wilson, The Office
This may be the easiest race to gauge out of the main five. Two-time defending champion Jeremy Piven will definitely be looking for a three-peat, but his co-star Kevin Dillon, a nominee last year, may be left out of the, um, Entourage. Rainn Wilson, Jon Cryer and Neil Patrick Harris are looking solid to return. Plus, Neil is announcing the nominees tomorrow, and that’s a good sign (but not always — Eric McCormack missed out on a nod when announcing in 2002). After sending in a poor tape last year, John Krasinski learned his lesson this time around and should find himself shortlisted. Spoilers include 30 Rock players Jack McBrayer and Tracy Morgan.
Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series
Kristin Chenoweth, Pushing Daisies
Jenna Fischer, The Office
Jean Smart, Samantha Who?
Holland Taylor, Two and a Half Men
Vanessa Williams, Ugly Betty
A wide-open race, we are guaranteed a new winner as last year’s champ Jaime Pressly failed to even make the Top 10 list! Also missing from the semifinals is past nominee Cheryl Hines, which could be a sign that the Academy’s love for Curb Your Enthusiasm is waning. Vanessa Williams is an easy pick to return, and Holland Taylor and Jenna Fischer ought to find themselves back in the mix too. We may see new faces in Jean Smart and the ever-bubbly Kristin Chenoweth, who is also announcing the nominees tomorrow.
