The TV Academy got a birthday cake for its 60th birthday Thursday morning – while American Idol's Ryan Seacrest, Project Runway's Heidi Klum and Dancing With the Stars' Tom Bergeron, as well as Deal or No Deal's Howie Mandel and Survivor's Jeff Probst, all got nominations in the first-time ever category of top host for a reality-competition show. While Deal or No Deal and Survivor both failed to earn nods as best reality-competition show, all the other programs did, along with Top Chef and Amazing Race.

After spending a morning in the heat and humidity filming a challenge for Survivor: Gabon, show host Jeff Probst arrived back to production's base camp to find 75 e-mails telling him that he'd just been nominated for an outstanding reality host Emmy Award. But that wasn’t all he heard. "The funniest part of the whole announcement to me was hearing that I was getting married!" says Probst, speaking to People from Gabon, after Pushing Daisies actress Kristin Chenoweth, who'd announced the nominations Thursday morning, also let slip that four years ago, she and the "cute" Probst had once dated

Fox continued to hint that it is planning to make changes to American Idol when it returns in January in order to recapture some of the audience it lost in early episodes last season. But Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly told reporters at the summer TV Critics Assn. press tour that judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul will all be back. Conspicuous by his absence in the list of announced returnees was Idol host Ryan Seacrest, who clashed frequently with Cowell last season. In May, Cowell, who is also a producer of Idol, told reporters to expect "a big shake-up" in the show next season, arousing immediate speculation that the $12.5-million host of the talent contest may be getting the hook himself. Also on Monday, Reilly expressed concern about the current state of TV comedy. "I can't even go to the platitude of 'it's cyclical, it's going to come back,'" he said. "A lot of confidence has left the creative space on a day-to-day basis. I see really talented people coming in, very skittish, not knowing what to pitch and what will sell. I see executives trying to figure out where is that nerve to hit."

I've done all that."Khloe, 24, was sentenced to up to 30 days in Los Angeles County jail for violating probation following a DUI arrest.

What's a little lie when love is involved? Cindy McCain says when she first met John McCain, the two dodged one important thing: their real ages.

Teen sensation Miley Cyrus is expecting her phone to ring on Saturday night after an unnamed ex-boyfriend catches the debut of her angry new video.

In 7 Things, the Hannah Montana star takes aim at the guy who broke her heart, and she enlisted the help of moviemaker Brett Ratner to help her get her message across in the video.

Cyrus claims writing the song was "a good little therapy moment" for her, admitting "the word hate could describe how angry I was."

Speaking on Los Angeles DJ Ryan Seacrest's radio show on Wednesday morning, Cyrus said, "That's Miley going through, like, 900 emotions while I'm trying to write a song."

And she hopes the target of the tune - widely believed to be Jonas Brothers star Nick Jonas - is upset enough to call after the promo debuts in America on Saturday night.

She adds, "I wanted them (sic) to be upset. That was my point.

"Maybe after my video we'll hear from somebody, because it's pretty honest."

She reveals the Ratner-directed video features herself and other heartbroken girls using the words of the song to attack exes. Some of the stars of the promo were so caught up in the moment they burst into tears on camera.

Cyrus says, "Almost every girl in America could say, at one point, they hate their ex or current boyfriend."

If Miley Cyrus sounds angry on her latest single and video, "7 Things," that was her intention, says the teen sensation. "The word 'hate' could describe how angry I am," Cyrus told Ryan Seacrest Wednesday on his Kiis-fm radio show. The song, in which Cyrus ticks off a list of things she hates in a boy she loves, was something that just poured out of the 15-year-old during a rare moment alone on her tour bus. "[It goes] through all the different stages of what's been going on the past couple years," she said. "It was like a little therapy moment for me.

Latest: Warring exes Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards have both emerged "pleased" with the outcome of their latest court hearing in their long and bitter custody battle over their two young daughters.

Former Bond girl Richards was forced to scrap a photoshoot for her reality TV show Denise Richards: It's Complicated on Friday, because Sheen had summoned her to a Los Angeles court.

The actress revealed the news during a phone interview with Ryan Seacrest on his Kiis-fm show - but she refused to say what the nature of the impromptu hearing was.

The couple, who divorced in 2006, has been trading insults through the media for weeks, but after meeting in court on Friday, they both claimed to be happy with the latest ruling.

Sheen's representative tells TMZ.com, "Charlie was very grateful and more than pleased with the court for how they dealt with the custody issues regarding his two children this morning."

And Richards was equally "pleased" with the judge's decision. Her attorney tells TMZ.com the ruling was "in the children's best interests", although neither party has revealed exactly what that outcome was.

Richards and Sheen are parents to three-year-old Sam and Lola, two.

Warring exes Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen are back in court in Los Angeles on Friday for another ugly clash.

After weeks of trading insults through the media, Richards was forced to miss a photoshoot for her reality TV show, and revealed during an interview on Ryan Seacrest's Kiis-fm show that Sheen had summoned her to court.

She told Seacrest - who produces her show, Denise Richards: It's Complicated - "I am sitting in the parking lot at the courthouse. He decided to take me to court this morning.

"If he is here we will see each other today. I imagine he'll be here. He's the one taking me to court. He should be here."

Richards refused to reveal the nature of the hearing but it follows a fierce battle over custody of their two young daughters following their divorce in 2006.

The actress insists she is still hopeful there will be an end to the pair's increasingly public war, telling Seacrest, "I hope that there is a way out. That's the goal. This is ugly and humiliating and it's bad for our children.

"For the girls' sake, the best thing is for he and I to be cordial. It would happen on my part."

His "awesome" Father's Day was still very much on the mind of Joel Madden as he and his twin, Benji Madden, both talked to Ryan Seacrest on his Kiis-fm radio show Tuesday, to promote their Soundtrack of Your Summer Good Charlotte tour and new single, "Where Would We Be Now." But while it might have been expected that Joel – father of with Nicole Richie 5-month-old baby daughter Harlow, whom the proud dad said was teething – would be thinking paternally, whoever would have guessed that brother Benji would be similarly disposed? "I'm so beyond happy," Benji, 29, said of his hot relationship with Paris Hilton.

Here was my pet theory on how the season - okay, the mid-season - finale would go: the Fleet finds Earth. They made it! They come into orbit and land the planes. But they're not in the ancient past or the far, far future: they touch down in Hollywood, the year 2008! The crowds go wild! The networks air round-the-clock footage of Adama and Roslin stepping out of the lander. Crowds swarm and beg to shake hands with Starbuck and Baltar. Ryan Seacrest naturally is on the scene. And in a genius move of convergence media, one hundred real-life fans get to flood the set to pretend to welcome our alien brethren to their new home. Fabulous! The reality's a little different, of course. But we'll get to that. Ron Moore has often said that...

Actress Kate Hudson laughed off reports she's dating cycling champion Lance Armstrong during a radio chat to promote a new haircare line - but she refused to deny the rumours.

The Almost Famous star was plugging the new eco-friendly products she has created with her stylist David Babbaii on DJ Ryan Seacrest's Los Angeles chat show when the interview turned personal.

Seacrest awkwardly asked the actress if the romance rumours were true, prompting a coy Kate to giggle hysterically while telling the DJ, "I don't discuss my personal life."

She added, "My main priority in my life is my son and I've learned these past couple of years... to discuss those things only causes more problems. Everything is always misconstrued."

Hudson and Armstrong were linked romantically after the couple was spotted kissing and cuddling at a Dolce + Gabbana party at the Cannes Film Festival in France last month.

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong may have been spotted together over the past month in getaways as far apart as Texas and France, but the actress doesn't want to talk about that. Opening up about a relationship "only causes more problems and more words taken out of context," Hudson, 29, told Ryan Seacrest on his Kiis-fm radio show Monday. "Everything is always misconstrued." Not that discussing other males wasn't all right with Hudson, whose Seacrest appearance was to help promote pal (and celebrity hairstylist) David Babaii's WildAid hair products. "My main priority in my life is my son," said Hudson, referring to her 4-year-old,
