Mad Men and 30 Rock Named TV's Top Shows
Originally posted 09/20/2009 11:00PM
Comedy rocked once again at the 61st Primetime Emmys, where 30 Rock was named top sitcom series and its lead male star, Alec Baldwin, outstanding actor in a comedy series. Both also took the titles last year.
"That was a real nail biter," said the show's creator, producer and star Tina Fey when she accepted the award toward the end of Sunday night's ceremony. She also thanked NBC for keeping the show on the air, even though, as she pointed out, it is more expensive than a talk show.
For the second consecutive year, AMC's Mad Men, a period '60s look at Madison Avenue's advertising world and those who worked in it, was named outstanding drama series.

Glenn Close Talks Puppies and Prisoners
Originally posted 05/14/2009 12:00PM
Friday's episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show will have something for everyone: puppies, prisoners, war veterans ... and Glenn Close.
On the show, the actress, 62, talks to Winfrey about Puppies Behind Bars, an organization close to her heart that takes dogs to prisons, where they are trained by inmates to be service dogs. The show also visits a New York prison to film the reunion between Sgt. Allen Hill and inmate Roberto Rodriguez, who trained the veteran's dog Frankie.
"To be able to support something that is actually helping the 330,000 returning vets who suffer from PTSD is something I think is very significant and important," Close tells PEOPLE Pets.
The actress notes how the dogs help the prisoners who train them, too: "You'll see these big guys saying that they never knew what love was." Close adds, "So to see these guys who a lot of our society thinks are garbage and unredeemable, [they] learn, first of all, what it's like to care for another living creature and getting the life skills that will really serve them in good stead, if they ever get out."

Give Stars Lemons, They Make ...
Originally posted 11/06/2007 02:50PM
During A Sundance Family Celebration, a gala Monday at New York's 583 Park Avenue, some celebrities turned a possibly dull gig – serving cocktails to paying guests – into a zippy, fun time. While stars like Parker Posey and Glenn Close took their place behind the bar, they also made art out of their clothing. Their task? Complete the statement: "When Life Gives Me Lemons, I Make ..." While Close went with "Limoncello: The Movie," our personal favorite respondent was John Leguizamo. His answer? "Mojitos!" But, wait, aren't those made with limes?
