Kate Perry...to appear on "How I met your Mother"!

Katy Perry - that delicious flavor of the month - has been hired for a guest role on the popular TV Series "How I met your Mother".

Ms. Perry will play Zoey's cousin - which is a cool move on her part - when 'ya think about it.

After all, if you're related to a regular cast member on a hot show - then chances are - there will be invites back.

Unless the acting - and ratings - turn out to be stinko!

Break a leg, Honey!

Psst!

"Honey" is her nickname on the episode which should broadcast later this year.

The "Emmy-Nominated" bill-of-fare airs during the prime-time family hour at 8 p.m.

Josh Groban...song stylings need more passion!

In the "overrated" section of the LA TIMES which appears in the weekend edition of the daily paper, writers were inclined to rate Josh Groban's rendition of a handful of theme songs he warbled on the 60th Annual Emmy Awards show, as somewhat "cheesy".

Not terribly off the mark.

To many, he is a bit of a God in the musical arena, though.

True, many of his fans are turned on by the beautiful timber of his voice.

And, there's no denying there is a distinctive resonance, that tends to cause the notes to fall blissfully upon the ear.

But, for me, Groban's voice sounds too "trained".

If the handsome crooner would let go of the rigid musical foundation he builds his song stylings on - and simply sing from the heart - his touch would be far more reaching.

Give it a shot, Josh.

You may end up a better singer for having taken the musical risk!

The Emmys...60th Annual Awards Show!

This Sunday, the 60th Annual Emmy Awards will be broadcast on ABC.

There are a number of new changes this year, sure to get viewers hopped-up over the Sunday Night extravaganza.

For starters, there will be five co-hosts.

The Academy gets more for their money, I guess!



Heidi Klum will obviously pretty up the stage in a flurry of exotic make-up, elegant jewellery, and designer silks draped about her luscious bod.


Sure to get the hearts pounding at home, at least!

Other celebs throwing in their two cents worth on stage the big night include - metrosexual Tom Bergeron (Dancing with the Stars), actor Jebb Probst (Survivor), ubiquitous TV personality Ryan Seacrest (American Idol), and game-show officiando Howie Mandell (Deal or No Deal).

Among them, they must be able to rustle up a guffaw or two!

In addition, there will be flashes of nostalgia, sure to tear an eye.

For instance, the network is asking that viewers tune in and vote online for the ten best all-time moments from dramas and comedies, in a segment that pays tribute to the medium.

Emmy winners are determined by Judges who watch DVD screeners - and vote in accordance with their perception of excellence - in advance of the telecast.



Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage, The Office, 30 Rock, and Two and a half Men, nabbed slots in the best comedy show category.






For oustanding drama series, the nominees are Boston Legal, Damages, Mad Men, Lost, House, Damages, and Dexter.


Sorry to be impartial, but go Dexter!

Prior to the broadcast, there will be a gaggle of glittering pre-Emmy shows, vying for middle America's undivided attention.

Locally, one of the faves is - "Live from the Emmys" - on KTLA (Channel 5) and capably hosted by Sam Rubin (insightful critic), Jessica Holmes (Canuck Comic), and Laurie Pike (fashion analyst).
