We know you were anxiously waiting for these pictures of your favorite soap stars and talkshow hosts at the Daytime Emmy awards last Friday. Highlights include Star Jones showing off her new boobs, Martha Stewart looking smug and polished, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi cute ‘n cuddly, Cady McClain of All My Children in a too-short babydoll dress, and Sean Young a typical mess.

Ellen DeGeneres remains everyone’s favorite talk show host and took home the award in that category for a second year in a row. Guilding Light also won big:

Here are pictures of the arrivals including:
Susan Lucci, Sean Young, Portia de Rossi, Ellen DeGeneres, Al Reynolds, Star Jones Reynolds, Ashley Jones, Barbara Walters, Bobbie Eakes, Corbin Bernsen, Amanda Pays, Lisa Rinna, Martha Stewart, Maria Conchita Alonso, Melody Thomas Scott, Tracey Bregman, Lorenzo Lamas, Hunter Tylo, Kristian Alfonso, Alec Musser, Antonio Sabato Jr., Anya Monzikova, Bobbie Eakes, Bree Williamson, Cady McClain, Crystal Chappell, Carroll Spinney with Oscar The Grouch, Davetta Sherwood, Bryton McClure, Michelle Ray Smith, Michael Graziadei, Rachael Ray, Schae Harrison, Seven and McKenzie Westmore, and Sherri Saum.

Rosie O’Donnell will take over Meredith Vieira’s spot on “The View.” Other women who were said to be in the running for the position were Connie Chung, Patricia Heaton and Soledad O’Brien.

This could be interesting, but we’re in Europe and have to rely on second-hand reports and the occasional YouTube video. That’s not much of a sacrifice when it comes to this show, which we’ve never watched an entire episode of.

Rosie certainly had a fun talkshow in her time, she’s liberal enough and she knows just about everything about pop culture. She’s not a bad choice.

Rosie has some nice stories about hurricane survivors she’s met posted on her blog, written in her unique poetic way.

Jennifer Garner has said that her ABC show Alias has run its course, but that she’s sad to leave her character Sydney behind. It sounds like she’s making the best of the situation:

Garner also missed doing her own stunts while she was pregnant, and was thrilled to get the change to jump off a ten-story building while filming the show last wekend:

Garner is a positive, friendly person and sounds so gracious in her comments about the series. Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Eva Longoria – take a note!

Here is Garner going to lunch with a friend at Spago. [via] (Pictures are low-res. Sorry about that.)

Christopher Masterson from Malcolm in the Middle, and Laura Prepon of That 70s Show have been a couple for over five years and live together in a house in LA. They don’t get a lot of press since they seem to live a low-key lifestyle.

Prepon’s series, That 70s Show, will air its last episode on May 18th:

That 70s Show may have worn out its welcome after Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher left last season. Still, most people on the website Jump The Shark think that the show has yet to go downhill.

We knew that Chris Masterson’s brother, Danny Masterson of That 70s Show is a Scientologist, and unfortunately a half-assed Google search confirmed that Laura and Chris are also involved in the pop-psychology cult. According to the website The Truth about Scientology, Laura has completed 7 of the cult’s courses while Chris has completed 11, suggesting that he is more involved than Laura.

Let’s hope this cute couple is keeping their distance from the evil cult, and that they each make the transition onto the big screen.

Masterson’s new film, Intellectual Property, was screened at the Newport Beach Film Festival, where these pictures were taken. Prepon does not have another project lined up at the moment, according to IMDB.

Maggie Grace and Ian Somerhalder were step-brother and sister Boone and Shannon on “Lost.” A flashback on the show showed that their characters were once romantically involved, and Boone was killed off early in the series.

The actors are supposedly dating, and have been seen working out at the gym together:

That’s cute and they make a nice couple. Maybe we’ll see candids of the two together soon.

Update: We were totally unaware that Somerhalder is widely considered gay. Sorry about that. The NY Daily News ran this blind item that is probably about the non-couple:

Janice Dickinson is going to star in a reality series as she runs her own modeling agency in Hollywood. It’s going to air on the network that no one watches, Oxygen. From what we saw on Surreal Life, she’s unbalanced but that doesn’t mean her show will be interesting.

The show was originally scheduled to start filming back in November, but just had its initial casting call for models yesterday, when these pictures were taken.

It’s hard to resist publishing pictures of Dickinson, who pulls all sorts of stupid faces. She’s a good candidate for the new site Buttafaces.com.

Tori Spelling’s mom was said to be pissed that Tori was planning on making fun of her eBay obsession on her new faux-reality series for VH1, sonoTORIous. Now that the show has aired, with Loni Anderson playing Tori’s bitchy mom, Tori’s real mom won’t even talk to her.

Tori’s divorce from Charlie Shanian is due to be finalized after a million-dollar wedding and a mere 14 months of marriage. She is now free to marry her fiance, Dean McDermott..

Here she is at the Hollywood Life Reception For “So noTORIous” at Pizarro Design Studio last night.

In a show titled “Tall Tales and Legends,” Oprah took a call from Jennifer Aniston to clear up the rumor that Oprah will host Aniston and Vince Vaughn’s wedding on her Chicago estate.

Aniston also said that she’s no longer house hunting in Chicago, saying, “No, I’m good, actually. I’ve got my house.” She must have hired someone to kill off those pesky rabbits.

Oprah then revealed the true purpose of the show when she denied that she and her long-time boyfriend, Stedman Graham, are having relationship trouble.

Here are pictures from Aniston and Vaughn’s movie, “The Breakup,” which is due for release on June 2nd. [via] and [via]

Jennifer Garner said she’s looking forward to a break from working after Alias wraps. She also said that she was quite embarassed by the birth scene in Alias, and that it was difficult for her to film around the male crew of “Alias,” with whom she’s grown close over her years on the series:

Alias will be on ABC this week in a two hour episode that shows Garner giving birth:

Garner says she’s going to take time off, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that she doesn’t have any projects lined up. It was reported at the end of March that she is going to get nude in an upcoming erotic thriller. It doesn’t bode well for her nude scene that she was so shy about portraying the act of childbirth for Alias.

Garner celebrated her birthday on the set of Alias. She turned 34 on April 17th.

Here are pictures of Garner visiting a friend in East Hollywood [via] and celebrating her birthday on the set of Alias. She is shown dancing on the beach when a plane flies overhead with a “Happy Birthday” sign for her. The baby she is holding is for the show, and is not her four month-old, Violet, who was reportedly on set with her.

We have plenty of Lindsay news and pictures today. Lohan made her second appearance on Saturday Night Live this week. She first appeared on the show in May, 2004. Commentors on the bulletin board where we found the pictures noted that she was funny in a couple of skits, but that the dialogue was bad.

Here’s a video of one of Lohan’s skits on SNL. She plays the fictional hip-hop artist “ambience” in an MTV parody. Wait until the video loads and then move the bottom cursor to the middle because she doesn’t come on until halfway through, and the rest is not worth watching.

Here are screencaps of Lindsay on the show and arriving at the after party.
