Showtime's got several intriguing new shows on its roster, and recently, the network released first glimpses of two of them:
The United States of Tara and
Nurse Jackie, both of which have intriguing actresses in the lead roles.
The United States of Tara, which premieres in January, stars Toni Collette as a woman with multiple-personality disorder. The clip has some scenes from the show, and in between those, the stars (and writer Diablo Cody) talk about how the project came together out of an idea from Steven Spielberg.

The Sopranos star Edie Falco made her 3-year-old son, Anderson, a big brother in February when she adopted a baby girl.
Born in Florida, daughter Macy is a welcome addition to the Falco family. According to
People: "Everybody is thrilled and doing great," says Falco's manager Richie Jackson.

As someone accustomed to watching Edie Falco's dramatic turn as Carmella Soprano, I thoroughly enjoyed her hilarious stint as Jack Donaghy's liberal love interest on
30 Rock last year. So I'm welcoming the news that
Falco is going to combine the dark and the funny in a new series for Showtime.
Falco will star in an as-yet-unnamed half-hour comedy — and though it's just a pilot at this stage, the positive comments from Showtime's entertainment president (which include the line "Bada bing is all I can think of to say!") make it sound like almost a sure bet to become a series.

Tom Cruise
wasn't the only one who
skipped the red carpet last night,
Fool's Gold costars Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey presented an award and stopped by the press room but didn't do the outside posing. They didn't have awards to show off, of course, but the night's big winners did. Tina Fey looked a little uncomfortable with her mini actor (so missing Alec Baldwin, boo) while Edie Falco proudly showed off her double fisting skills.

Adrien, Petra, and Chloë were all out in NYC last night for the premiere of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Petra looked like she was ready for the cabaret, while Adrien was all about quietly slipping his hand into his girlfriend's dress. Scandalous.

Mermaids aren't only found in water (they do exist I swear!), they're also spotted on the Emmy red carpet! These stars all chose the womanly silhouette of dresses with form-fitting bodices and flared bottoms.
Katherine's was the most dramatic, while Kyra and
Becki kept it fresh with layers of feathers and tulle.

These ladies kept it classic and sophisticated in their black and white gowns on the Emmys Red Carpet tonight. Although all of these dresses had a similar color scheme, each one is unique. From
Debra Messing's Ralph Lauren mermaid gown and
Edie Falco's pretty beading to
Sandra Oh's minimal black strapless and
Christina's magic bump-hiding Valentino, each one was a statement on its own.

My first thought when I saw these pics of Edie Falco on the red carpet was "Why didn't she put on any makeup?" I will leave this analysis to Bella, but just had to share. I am kind of undecided about Edie's red carpet look.

Naomi Watts left the partying to her co-stars last night at the screening for
Eastern Promises in New York.
30 Rock newcomer Edie Falco is proving that there is still life after
The Sopranos, although scoring an
Emmy on Sunday would definitely be a sweet send off from the show. Meanwhile, is it just us, or did Viggo Mortensen's hotness sort of disappear after the Lord Of The Rings days?
