SYDNEY – Actor Paul Hogan, star of the “Crocodile Dundee” movie trilogy, has been cleared to return home to the United States after he was barred last month from leaving Australia because of a disputed tax bill, his lawyer said Friday.

Emmy had a split personality this year. Television’s annual awards show honored hot new broadcast comedies “Modern Family” and “Glee,” while sticking with more familiar favorites from cable in drama.

“Modern Family” won the Emmy for best comedy in its rookie season. The sweetly uproarious sitcom knit together a gay couple and their adopted daughter, a more traditional bumbling dad and his uptight wife, and a world-weary patriarch with his hot young Latin wife — and became an instant favorite on ABC.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Carrie Underwood’s wedding was one of the most special days of her life, but it will likely become fodder for jokes when she and Brad Paisley host the Country Music Association Awards for the third year in a row.

The two will anchor the Nov. 10 ceremony in Nashville, and Paisley said of Underwood’s July union with NHL player Mike Fisher: “We have to bring it up.”

In Hollywood circles the TV development business is often described derisively as 10,000 people running to the spot where lightning just struck.

But in an industry where attempting to replicate past success is as much about ambition as necessity, this coming season is something of an anomaly. Rather than churn out family comedies in the vein of the popular “Modern Family” or attempt to clone the musical dramedy “Glee,” the networks are approaching the fall season with their hopes pinned on series more akin to “Flash Forward” and “Friends” in style. Though many of these new offerings have largely underwhelmed television critics, there are some standouts worth noting — and watching.
