The countdown begins! Jessica Lowndes, Cat Deeley and Olivia Munn practice Emmy glamour at pre-awards party

Hollywood is building with excitement and anticipation for Sunday's 63rd prime-time Emmys.

After a less than successful Academy Awards presentation by James Franco and Anne Hathaway and a mixed response to the Golden Globes hosted by Ricky Gervais, the Emmys are more important than ever.

Leading ladies Cat Deeley, Jessica Lowndes and Olivia Munn were the stars that shone brightest at pre-awards parties last night.

Golden Globes trial delayed

The much-anticpated courtroom battle between the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the Dick Clark Productions over who can sell the television rights for the Golden Globe Awards has been delayed.

 

Opening arguments had been set for Tuesday morning at U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, but Judge Valerie Baker Fairbank has advised the HFPA lawyers that she is now unable to preside over the trial. A new judge will have to be assigned and the case rescheduled. It is expected to be at least another month before the trial starts, people from each side of the dispute said. A call to Judge Fairbank's chambers was not immediately returned.

The case was generating a lot of attention in Hollywood as several big shots were expected to have to testify, including Dick Clark himself, Dick Clark Productions Chief Executive Mark Shapiro, NBCUniversal West Coast Business Operations President Marc Graboff and CBS Chief Executive Leslie Moonves. Shapiro is also a member of the board of directors of Tribune Co., parent of the Los Angeles Times.

At issue is a new six-year deal Dick Clark Productions cut last October with NBC -- the longstanding home of the Golden Globes -- that will keep the show on the network through 2018. The price tag goes from $17 million for the January 2012 show to $26 million in 2018. NBC paid $13.3 million for the 2011 telecast.

The ink was barely dry on the new contract when the HFPA filed a suit charging that Dick Clark Productions had violated the terms of its partnership with the HFPA by not consulting with it first before renewing the NBC deal at a price “substantially below current market rate,” according to its lawsuit.

The two are arguing over whether their current agreement gave Dick Clark Productions the right to sign a renewal with NBC without consulting first with the HFPA. Dick Clark Productions had argued that its production deal with HFPA gave it that power.

HFPA countered that was not the case and that NBC got a sweetheart deal. The two have been partners on the show for almost three decades.

The HFPA has also questioned how Dick Clark Productions has handled finances for the telecast. The two split the net profit from the show.

Justin Bieber Didn’t Thank Selena Gomez In His VMA Acceptance Speech! Was It On Purpose?

Justin Bieber took home one of the most coveted moon men of the night at the MTV VMAs, but he didn’t give girlfriend, Selena Gomez one word of gratitude!

Uh oh…Is there trouble in paradise? Ever since Selena Gomez, 19, and 17-year-old Justin Bieber went public with their romantic relationship, they’ve basically been attached at the hip. They look to be totally in love, but jaws dropped when Justin didn’t include Selena in his acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs after winning Best Male Video for “U Smile.”

Even though Selena gave him a kiss on-camera and a standing ovation as he took the stage to accept his award, Justin only thanked God and his fellow nominees for the honor.

“I just want to say thank you so much. Not only to god, but to Jesus. Because I wouldn’t be here without him. He’s really blessed me. He’s put me in this position, so I want to say thank you so much. Also, I want to say thank you to all the other nominees. They were amazing. I’m a true fan of all of them, so I want to share this award with all of them. You guys are amazing!”

Sel and Justin weren’t an official couple when he did the video, but her unwavering loyalty, love and support for the pop-phenom since coupling up makes us think she deserved a shout out! Maybe it was jealousy over Selena’s presenting duties with ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner, but no one is really sure why he decided to keep Selena separated from his speech. We’ll be keeping a close eye on the two!
