Mr. Redcarpet's DirtMan about town on the inside track to HOLLYWOOD![ Home ] [ Profile ] [ Archives ] [ Friends ] Oscar Rehearsal Saturday Host Hugh Jackman.....not funny
Host Hugh Jackman.....good song and dance man
Host Hugh Jackman....I guess Harvey Milk would say he's good looking too
The Show is screaming, crying, yelling for a comedian/host....instead it got Jackman. He does seem to make up for the lack of comic punch with his singing voice and dancing talents. In fact, the musical numbers, of which there are many, are very good. There are two very big production numbers.
Without spoiling too much for you, I can tell you the presenters of the four acting awards are HUGE.....major major league....and not just one or two presenters for each award. That's all I'm going to tell you.
Watch to see if Goldie Hawn can pronounce Taraji Henson's name correctly. She screwed it up about 4 times in rehearsal.
Ladies, they have a "boy" trophy girl this year. (Huh?) Two women and one man will do the honors.
The Jean Hersholt award is going to Jerry Lewis. He got a standing ovation from the rehearsal crew and cracked us up several times with ad libs. He did not rehearse the speech he's giving in the show.
See the set. 2009 Program Cover below. ![]() Mr Redcarpet [ 02:58 ] [ February 22, 2009 ] [ 2 Comments ] [ Post Comment ] [ Link ] Emmy Details and HBO Party Exclusive PhotosMaybe Tom Hanks was having a couple of bad days, but after seeing him at the Creative Arts Emmys and the Prime Time Emmys, I have to say he is a cranky full-of-himself actor who is snippy and harsh with people who are not in his social circle. Did I just use a lot of words to say pompous ass? I try to be non judgmental. ![]() On to more fun things...the HBO partay....the stars were out...Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, Harry Hamlin and wife Lisa Rinna, Teri Hatcher, Phil Keoghan, Adrian Grenier, Annabella Sciorra, Seth Meyer, Lorne Michaels, Charles Dutton, Jack McBrayer, the amazing Mr. Mystic, and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa playing the drums with the band...and he was good! And people, those are just the ones I saw. Things get a little fuzzy after the food and libation. Unlike Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin is a joy to be around and down to earth. Annabella Sciorra was looking more like a glammed up pixie than her sexy hot character who had the torrid affair with Tony Soprano...and that's not a bad thing. The party was held at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, CA Mr. Redcarpet ![]() [ 08:51 ] [ September 25, 2008 ] [ 0 Comments ] [ Post Comment ] [ Link ] Emmy Sunday NotesMr. R had a busy day! Here are a few comments with more details and photos to follow. Take Tom Hanks off your Christmas list...I'll tell you why.
Charlie Sheen was NOT happy about 30 Rock winning for Best Comedy Series. He was not applauding for the winners while all around him were.
I talked to "So You Think You Can Dance" star Nigel Lythgoe at the Show. He really is the nice cordial guy you think he is.
Here are EXCLUSIVE HIT photos of Saturday's preparation for the red carpet and the Show.![]() Christina Applegate was absolutely stunning, especially considering the tragic year she has had. After the show, I headed out to THE hottest party in town...the HBO party. I'll have pics and more for you soon.

The hoopla is Downtown Los Angeles at the new venue for the Prime Time Emmys. It's the Nokia Theater in LA Live. The Governors Ball will be held across the street at the Convention Center. EMMY NOTES
Prime Time Emmys on ABC 8 pm, Sunday, September 21. Mr. Redcarpet [ 01:46 ] [ September 21, 2008 ] [ 0 Comments ] [ Post Comment ] [ Link ] Andy Garcia's WeekendWhat was Andy Garcia doing over the weekend? I'm glad you asked because I'm going to tell you. I caught him at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel (the "Pretty Woman" hotel) watching the Laker Game on TV at a charity event. The Lakers won that game and now go on to the Western Conference Championship Series with the San Antonio Spurs. ![]() In case you didn't know: The Emmys and Oscars will now be held at the Nokia Theater.

[ 05:16 ] [ February 24, 2008 ] [ 0 Comments ] [ Post Comment ] [ Link ] Oscar Alert! Just checking in to remind you that I'll be at the rehearsal today (Saturday) looking for some dirt to dish out exclusively to Mr. Redcarpet fans. I'll try to get some pics but security is always tight at the Oscars and the Academy doesn't take kindly to people who don't follow the rules. I had a friend last year who was ARRESTED for trying to crash the Governors Ball. His court appearance is just coming up in March. Mr. R [ 12:35 ] [ February 23, 2008 ] [ 0 Comments ] [ Post Comment ] [ Link ] This is What got Bleeped on The EmmysI understand a couple of things got bleeped on the Prime Time Emmy Show last night. Since I was there, let me try to fill in the blanks for you.
First, Ray Romano made a joke about TV wife Patricia Heaton sleeping with another man after all their years together. His reference was to a new show she is doing with Kelsey Grammar. I'm sorry I can't give you an exact quote. On the other hand, I don't know exactly what was bleeped either. Ray went on to say something like how can you do that after we had two TV children...or...Come on, we had two TV children...something like that.
I can give you a quote for the second bleep. Sally Fields said in her acceptance speech....after the ..."I forgot what I was going to say......errrrr.....uuuhhhh...If mothers ruled the world, there would be no goddamn wars." I think it ended with "in the first place," but I'm not sure.
Censors also bleeped an expletive from Katherine Heigl, but I don't even remember her winning an award, let alone what she said. Do you really care what kind of letter bomb she dropped?
Now where do you get that kind of inside information other than from Mr. Redcarpet? "Oh, maybe from a million other sources on the Internet, Mr. R.," you say. OK, but you didn't have to Google it or check a milion other sources. All you had to do was check your favorite source for Hollywood news, Hollywood is Talking.
After all the hoopla I went to the FOX party at Spago (Wolfgang Puck's place) in Beverly Hills. Jack Bauer or the Idol crew weren't there (I did see them earlier at the Show) but that didn't stop me from enjoying an alcoholic beverage, Alaskan crab legs, and sampling every dessert on the dessert table...and there were LOTS of choices.

Remember the Who Wants to Become a Millionaire set? Well, that's what the set of 59th Emmy Awards looks like. The stage is round and all the Presenters, Nominees, and their guests will be seated around it.
For the first time since I can remember, the host of the show did not appear for the final rehearsal. What is up with you, Mr. Ryan Seacrestfallen?
This year's Show will be a lot more entertaining than in recent past. The headline performers are The Jersey Boys (Sopranos Cast) and Christina Aguilera.
If you're a Sopranos fan, you won't want to miss this show. Just about every cast member and recurring cast member will be there.

However, we are less than 50 days away from the Emmys.

They predict the totals will go over $800 million worldwide.

Mr. R knows.OK...I'm not saying this is true and I have no evidence to substantiate it BUT... I have it from a source who heard first hand from a Hollywood producer in the loop that...hold on to your hats...remember, it could only happen in Chinatown...the father of Anna Nicole's daughter, Dannielynn, is Anna Nicole Smith's son DANIEL!!!!! This would make Anna Nicole Smith Dannielynn's mother and grandmother. Anna Nicole Smith's mother would be Dannielynn's grandmother AND great grandmother. I just mention it as something out there. When it headlines the Enquirer, remember where you heard it first. Mr. Redcarpet [ 10:22 ] [ March 15, 2007 ] [ 1 Comments ] [ Post Comment ] [ Link ] Living up to my name.

The Show airs Sunday, Oct. 22nd on Fuse TV at This show is so far down the alphabet list to attend, The Show was sleazy but the environment wasn’t. Kudos to the people who renovated the Orpheum Theater which was the venue for the event. I’ll post some pics later.

![]() [ 12:37 ] [ August 27, 2006 ] [ 0 Comments ] [ Post Comment ] [ Link ] Emmy Rehearsal - Friday Here are a few pics from Friday's Primetime Emmy rehearsal. I circled Conan
O'Brien because you wouldn't know it was him if I didn't. The
pic at the bottom is one of about 5 trees (I didn't count 'em) in the ballroom
at the Governors Ball. The circled item is a glass chandelier hanging from the
tree.
There's trouble at NBC. You'll know what I mean right
at the beginning of the show.
Check your local listings for the Creative
Arts Emmys on the E Channel tonight
(Saturday).
I ran into Lewis Black at Barney's Beanery in West Hollywood on
Monday night. I told him I enjoyed his comedy. He smiled and thanked me.
Instead of being his usual angry self he was enjoying dinner with a young
couple. Black is a frequent guest on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart who hosted
the Oscars.
