Emmys' Funniest: Alec Baldwin, Toni Collette, Kristin Chenoweth & Jon Cryer

Sunday night's 61st Primetime Emmy Awards got off to a big yuk even though the first winner of the evening, Kristin Chenoweth, dissolved into tears as she accepted her golden statuette as best supporting actress in a comedy series – ABC's canceled Pushing Daisies.
"I don't know why I'm crying," she said, after thanking her parents. "I'm unemployed now, and I'd like to be on Mad Men. I also like The Office and '24'." Chenoweth concluded by thanking the TV Academy for recognizing a show no longer on the air.
Laughs were the order of the night. When Alec Baldwin delivered his Emmy acceptance speech for best actor in a comedy series, the 30 Rock star, grabbing his statuette from presenter Rob Lowe, told the crowd, "I'd trade this to look like him."
Supporting actor in a sitcom, Jon Cryer, took the Emmy for CBS's Two and a Half Men. Accepting, he said he used to think awards were shallow displays of popularity, while now he sees that they recognize true achievement. He also said of costar Charlie Sheen, "He's amazing."

Rep: Kristin Chenoweth & Lane Garrison Not an Item

Pushing Daisies star and Broadway Tony winner Kristin Chenoweth got some unwanted publicity lately when it was reported – wrongly – in a supermarket tabloid that she had fanned the flames of a former relationship by writing to Lane Garrison while the former Prison Break actor was in prison. Not at all true, says her rep.
"Contrary to what has been reported elsewhere," the actress's publicist tells PEOPLE, "Kristin Chenoweth and Lane Garrison have not rekindled a relationship, nor was there any pen pal correspondence throughout his incarceration."
While Chenoweth, 40, and Garrison, 29, did date at one point in their lives, that was in the distant past. Chenoweth, meanwhile, can be seen in the final episode of the ABC series Pushing Daisies, which the network is airing Saturday after having canceled the series.

Jeff Probst to Kristin Chenoweth: I'm Not Engaged

After spending a morning in the heat and humidity filming a challenge for Survivor: Gabon, show host Jeff Probst arrived back to production's base camp to find 75 e-mails telling him that he'd just been nominated for an outstanding reality host Emmy Award.
But that wasn’t all he heard.
"The funniest part of the whole announcement to me was hearing that I was getting married!" says Probst, speaking to PEOPLE from Gabon, after Pushing Daisies actress Kristin Chenoweth, who'd announced the nominations Thursday morning, also let slip that four years ago, she and the "cute" Probst had once dated – but now he was set to wed some other woman.
