A gold trophy isn't the only prize this year's winners will take home during Emmy week. Promotional gifting suites are already in full swing all over Tinseltown. We crashed the hottest parties from Rodeo Drive to the Hollywood Hills to give you a sneak peak at where TV's biggest stars spend their downtime before the big night.

Adam… come on, buddy. A vow of celibacy? You realize what fasts do, right? They just make you crave the forbidden fruit even more. But I guess "guys night" didn't hurt, since the boys ended up at a gay bar. At least Brian got a number in case things with Bridget blow up in his face.Once again, Dave held it together during a tough time. I can't come down on Deena too hard for having difficulty watching Carrie's surgery, but I think I just have a sour taste in my mouth when it comes to her, so I automatically see the bright shining light that is Dave. I liked seeing the whole gang in the waiting room. They always come together to provide those touching tidbits before dramatically self-destructing.On a funnier note, the "spatially-challenged" couple definitely had some adjusting to do after officially moving in together now that they aren't bringing in any dough. Bridget was on top of her game, though, hopping back and forth to interviews, while Brian begged Dave to never move out...

Stacy Keibler on George Lopez
With a WWE history and a stage name like "Super Stacy," 5-foot-11 Stacy Keibler certainly knows how to make an entrance that gets fans screaming and captivates admirers. Her long legs — famously 42 inches long — were helpful as she spun her way into the second season of Dancing with the Stars. But with wrasslin' and rumba behind her, Keibler is excited to cozy up to fun, girlie roles, starting with ABC's George Lopez (tonight and Feb. 21, at 8 pm/ET), and then on What About Brian (starting Feb. 12, at 10 pm/ET). TVGuide.com sought out Keibler for the scoop on what it was like dating a much older man, hanging out with

This just in: Dancing with the Stars grad Stacy Keibler is trying her hand at acting, signing on to What About Brian for a multi-episode arc. Per a source close to the show, the WWE diva — who'll first appear around February — will cause problems between Brian and current girlfriend Bridget when she moves in next door. In other Brian news, relative newcomer Jessica Szohr is joining the cast as a series regular. She'll play Keibler's roommate.This is probably a good time for me to ask: Is anyone watching this show?

Question: With Stacy Keibler's success (so far) on Dancing with the Stars, coupled with The Rock's Hollywood presence, do you see the WWE benefiting from this at all, as far as respectability and broadened interest from the casual TV watcher?
Answer: I seriously doubt it, but I can only speak for myself. And while I'm wowed by Stacy's performances and presence on Dancing with the Stars, it only makes me hope that her career path will now move her away from the wrestling ring to classier venues that will take advantage of her star quality. This has not made me the least bit inclined to check out what might be a mother lode of other hidden gems in the world of WWE. On the other hand, the fact that WWE can generate stars like Stacy and The Rock suggests to me that it's doing OK on its own and doesn't really need the rest of us to join the party ...
