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.”

“It was big news in country music, so if it is that, it is fair game, as well as Nashville or current events,” he said in an interview with Underwood on Thursday. “It’s worth talking about anything like that that people will relate to.”

And as far as that other glitzy gal rumored to be seated at the judge’s table…

(CNN) — A North Carolina woman is alleging that “American Idol” winner Fantasia Barrino engaged in an affair with her husband, and says in court documents that the pair “recorded” their sexual encounters.

LOS ANGELES — Fox sources say there will be no “American Idol” announcements during the network’s portion of the Television Critics Association press tour on Monday.

That leaves plenty of unresolved questions surrounding the biggest show on television, which is in disarray after Ellen DeGeneres made the shock announcement last Thursday that she was leaving the judges’ table after just one year.

To wit: Has fellow judge Kara DioGuardi really been fired? Is Jennifer Lopez really taking over? And what about Steven Tyler? If executive producer Nigel Lythgoe returns after a two-year absence, what changes does he have in store to restore some luster to the fading franchise?

When Ellen DeGeneres was picked to be Paula Abdul’s replacement on “American Idol” less than a year ago, it seemed like an inspired choice.

Ellen was a huge fan of the show who was a natural fit to take over as the “Nice Judge” and expand the show’s reach into the demographics of her hit daytime talk show. And as a brilliant comic with a ready supply of one-liners, she’d have the tenacity to throw elbows with Simon Cowell in a more entertaining way than Paula could manage with her rambling commentary.
