McDermott
Inks Two-Year Pact
Practice makes
perfect, and in Dylan McDermott's case, The Practice
makes a perfect payday.
Practice star McDermott is set to sign a contract
extension with David E. Kelley Productions and 20th Century Fox
Television, which produce the ABC drama, through the 2003-04
season, according to The Hollywood Reporter. No salary
figures were revealed, but McDermott reportedly already earns
six figures per episode. The pact coincides with the show's
recent renewal by ABC through May 2004.
The star, who has played lawyer Bobby Donnell on the series
since it premiered in March 1997, has earned one Emmy nomination
and three Golden Globe nods for his role.

Emmys Rescheduled
for Oct. 7

LOS ANGELES
(Zap2it.com) - The Emmy Awards will be handed out Sunday, Oct.
7, CBS and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences have
announced.
After postponing the ceremony, originally scheduled for
Sunday (Sept. 16), in the wake of Tuesday's terrorist attacks,
CBS and academy representatives conferred for much of the week
over when the ceremony should be held.
"We have decided it is appropriate to delay the Emmys
until Oct. 7, at which time we will present a program that is
different in tone and approach," a statement from CBS and
the academy says. "Traditionally, the Emmys are a tribute
to the television industry; however, on this night the industry
will also join together with the nation to re-affirm the spirit
of the American people."
Exactly what form the awards telecast takes will be figured
out in the coming weeks, CBS spokeswoman Nancy Carr tells Zap2it.com.
Tributes to victims from the TV industry -- such as "Frasier"
producer David Angell, who was on one of the hijacked planes --
have also yet to be worked out.
The joint statement does say, however, that "executive
producer Don Mischer and his production team are working toward
creating a program that is respectful and that expresses the
solidarity between the television community and the American
people in dealing with this tragedy."
The only other time the Emmys have been delayed was in 1978,
when the ceremony was held up for a short time to announce the
Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt.
Ellen DeGeneres will remain as host of the awards. The
broadcast will air live at 8 p.m. ET (delayed on the West Coast)
Sunday, Oct. 7 on CBS.
