THIS EMMY IS NOW DIAMONDS! The Creative Arts Emmys handed out tonight included some complete non-surprises (Betty White and John Lithgow winning for guest acting were foregone conclusions), but also NPH's first (and second!) Emmys (as part of the producer team for the 2009 Tonys and as guest actor for his work on Glee), Anne Hathaway's first step toward a potential EGOT (for her voiceover work as Princess Penelope on The Simpsons), Jeff Probst continuing his streak for Reality Host, and yes, an Emmy win for The Man Your Man Could Smell Like. Discuss whatever's worth discussing here--I expect we'll have something next Sunday for live discussion.

ETA: Hitfix has red carpet photos, including the good (Christina Hendricks, unsurprisingly), the bad (Miranda Cosgrove tying to be Miley), and the ugly (Alan Cumming's blue plaid ensemble).

BINGO, BANGO, BONGO AND IRVING: Potentially coming to the silver screen -- a Gilligan's Island film with Michael Cera and Seth Rogen as Gilligan and the Skipper, with Beyonce as Ginger. Further baseless speculation includes the rather inspired choice of Hugh Laurie as the Professor, while show creator Sherwood Schwartz, 93, (premorse, begone!) wants Warren Beatty and Annete Bening to play the Howells.

I LIKED IT BETTER WHEN MEGASHARK WAS INVOLVED: If you were guessing which major movie release this weekend were getting the best reviews, would you go with the one based on a Jeffrey Eugenides short story, the one starring and written by a person who's won Academy Awards for both writing and acting, or the one about giant mutant fish eating half-naked co-eds starring Elisabeth Shue, Jerry O'Connell, Jessica Szohr, and Adam Scott? The answer (at least as of now), may surprise you.

THAT SHOW, THE AMAZING RACE. IS THAT ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE? Continuing my milking of the GQ Comedy issue for a third post, there's also a conversation between Zach Galifianakis, Tracy Morgan and Paul Rudd on the nature of comedy, and what things (and people) are always funny.

GQ: What guys out there now do you pay attention to?

PAUL: Zach was one of my favorite stand-ups. Patton Oswalt is hilarious. Louis C.K. is one of my absolute favorites. One of the funniest jokes, and it's so politically incorrect, was this one he told right after September 11. The joke was about how you could gauge how good a person you were by how long you waited before you felt comfortable masturbating. He said, "It took me a while. For me it was after the first tower fell but before the second one."...

TRACY: All I watch is the Dean Martin roasts. And last night I found out The Honeymooners is back on TV. Jackie Gleason. Never went to rehearsal. Made the cameraman stay loose and stay wide. That's it: Stay loose and stay wide.

PAUL: You know who's old-school funny and, in my opinion, never wavered as the funniest? Don Rickles. That guy is just funny.

TRACY: I saw him at the Emmys. He just tore it apart.

ZACH: There's a clip of Don Rickles. Still unbelievable. It's in the '70s, I imagine. He's filling for Johnny Carson. And he's in the audience, doing crowd work, and there was this attractive black woman. He stands her up and asks her a few questions. He's not done talking to her, but she just decides to sit back down on her own. And he turns to the audience and he says, "Ever since Roots, they do what they want." And of course the audience starts laughing. If that had happened now, it would have been such a crazy knee-jerk reaction.

A decade from now, I can see Rudd still working, albeit a lead on television. What are the other two doing?

RUBEN STUDDARD, YOU'RE NEXT: Seriously, is the announcement that Justin Guarini will be in the upcoming Broadway production of Women on the Verge of A Nervous Breakdown (as the son of Patti LuPone and Brian Stokes Mitchell) going to sell a single additional ticket? In fact, while my interest was high (in addition to LuPone and Mitchell, cast includes Sherie Rene Scott and Laura Benanti, and a score by David Yazbek), if anything, this lowers it.

THEY NEVER MEANT TO CAUSE YOU ANY SORROW:We already know Glee is doing a Britney Spears-centric episode this fall, and plans another "single artist" episode for their post-Super-Bowl episode, but haven't been able to announce it yet due to music rights negotiations. Current rumor, which makes sense given his protectiveness of his songs, is that they want to do a Prince episode. Do you want to hear Mercedes musing on "When Doves Cry?" Kurt proclaiming his affection for "The Most Beautiful Boy In The Room?" New Directions proclaiming that they would like us to all go crazy?

MY LEFT FOOT: Of all the misguided trends in athletic wear -- the butt-floss unitard; the spider-web designs on ski-racing suits; the weird advertising fetish of bicycle-clothing designers; the wearing of skin-tight UnderArmour by anybody who is not built like an NFL wide receiver -- the most disturbing certainly must be the advent and burgeoning popularity of the shoes with separated toes.

Most of us use our feet for little more than walking and running. We do not tend to use them for things like sign language, penmanship, or ship-in-bottle modelry. I cannot fathom the need for separate toe compartments on a shoe, and whatever that need might be, it does not outweigh the sheer disgustingness of these foot-gloves. I may lose my lunch the first time I see someone wear these things into a public restroom.
