EMMYS WORSHIP IDOL
William Shatner
This, folks, is a cautionary tale about what happens when you put a Grammys producer in charge: The 57th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, airing Sept. 18 on CBS, will feature actors performing classic TV theme songs throughout the telecast. At the end of the show, a winner (determined by viewer votes) will be declared the "Emmy Idol." The playlist includes
The Apprentice's
Donald Trump and
Will & Grace's
Megan Mullally doing
Green Acres (OK, that could be fun);
Boston Legal's
William Shatner and opera star
Frederica von Stade channeling
Star Trek (There are lyrics? I'm scared);
Veronica Mars'
Kristen Bell taking on
Fame; and
CSI's
Gary Dourdan performing "Movin' on Up" (from
The Jeffersons) with
Macy Gray. Additionally,
the Black Eyed Peas will perform during an opening montage with
Earth, Wind & Fire. What all this means is there will be
no time for
any acceptance speeches. Not a one.
