Radio City Music Hall was bursting with stars of the stage last night at the 2008 Tony Awards. The glitz and glamour were everywhere as some of the biggest names in Broadway came together to celebrate each other. Mary-Louise Parker was a highlight as usual, though I'm not sure what to say about the Counting Crows' Adam Duritz on her arm.

Last night the Tony Awards took place in New York – giving plaudits to the hard workers hoofing it night after night on Broadway – and my girl Buzz has info on all the winners. Most of the red carpet ladies stuck to elegant dresses in dark and pale shades, with occasional bursts of bright colour from Marisa Tomei, Christine Baranski and Gina Torres. Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies) and Mary-Louise Parker looked stunning in their black dresses, as did Glenn Close when she stepped on to the stage to present an award in her fluid number. 
Reese and Keri lit up the house with their smiles at last night's Beating the Odds Dinner for the Childrens' Defense Fund. Both women are longtime supporters of the cause, which must mean even more to Keri now that she has a child of her own. They were joined by some of our favorite TV stars of past and present including Elisha Cuthbert, Lisa Kudrow and Sarah Chalke. 
What a strange road it's been for "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," the show that started as a buzzed-about pilot, became a critical disaster, and is finally slinking to a conclusion. In a year full of high-profile television flops ("The Black Donnellys," "The Nine," "Six Degrees"), this was certainly one of the biggest.
I wasn't a fan of "Studio 60"; the comedy bits weren't that funny, Aaron Sorkin's dialogue seemed to lack its usual snap, and Amanda Peet never convinced me she could pull off playing a tough-chick executive. 
"Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" will be back on the air tonight at 10 p.m., but it's not exactly the victorious return to the schedule many fans were hoping for. NBC didn't pick up the show for a second season, but at least the final six episodes will be airing on TV rather than just online. Interestingly, the show was supposed to air on Thursdays in the first place — until ABC's plans to relocate a pesky little show we like to call "Grey's Anatomy" got in the way.
"Studio 60" fans, here's some potentially good news: According to Hollywood Reporter columnist Ray Richmond, the show is still in production, and the cast and crew are currently working on episode 20.
NBC still hasn't said when (or whether) it plans to air these additional episodes, but it's a good sign that fans might get to finish out the full season. Only 16 episodes have aired so far, and I can't imagine NBC spending the money to produce more if they weren't eventually going to make it to TV.
Studio 60 is one of the most anticipated new series this fall. The best part is that it marks the return of writer Aaron Sorkin (West Wing) and the always loveable, Matthew Perry (Friends). You probably already know that it is based on the behind the scenes look at a late-night sketch comedy, like SNL.
