Thank you metacomet! How Marci Mavinish, to own Tony's pants. lol.

LOL -- The Marci Maven in me wants to bid -- but I'd be too embarrased at the same time.

Tony's jeans, oh my goodness. I hope nobody from the cast or their families ever looks in this thread. lol

What do you do with celebrity jeans? That would be a good conversation piece. "Yeah, those are my autographed Tony Shalhoub jeans. Don't ask how I got them."

I know. Secretly I want them too. How tall is Tony, anyway? 5'10''? 5'11''?

LOL -- The Marci Maven in me wants to bid -- but I'd be too embarrased at the same time.

I know i'm a little weird but i want that jeans i think it will be the most expensive jeans what i will ever buy

Are we going to get into a bidding war?? LOL!

Oh, BTW, I know why Fox wants those jeans. It had nothing to do with being a fan. He knows that if he wears TS's jeans, that will make him irresistable to many of the female members of the board.

Just letting you know...

It would save you both a lot of money if you chipped in together, and did a six month split -- sending them back and forth -- LOL.

Or three of you doing a four-month time-share.

Just letting you know...

He's already got a dress uniform. How much more mojo does he need?

I know i'm a little weird but i want that jeans i think it will be the most expensive jeans what i will ever buy

If I'm bidding against you I think that you'll be the winner! But, you never know...

I'm sure everyone is aware that buying and sharing used clothes is against everything that is good and Monk-ish in the world...

LOL, actually CS that's exactly what I was thinking. My OCD tendencies are screaming at me "no way would I buy someone's used clothes, even if they were Tony's!" I could not bring myself to do that.

Solartaxi Episode 22: L.A.

Hmm.. Was that from "Monk gets hypnotized"?

Again our two top Emmy gurus are clashing over who'll win a top race!

Chris "Boomer" Beachum believes the champ will be Steve Carell ("The Office") and he may be right. Steve Carell is arguably America's biggest comedy star, and it's shocking that he's lost this category twice for a show that won best comedy series (2006).

This year Carell has a secret edge: a special, one-hour episode he submitted to judges ("Goodbye, Toby"). Because the comedy acting categories are usually dominated by half-hour sitcoms, having twice the face time of your rivals often pays off. Over the last eight years, five champs prevailed in one-hour episodes. Curiously, three of the five nominees this year have that advantage: Carell, Lee Pace ("Pushing Daisies") and Tony Shalhoub ("Monk"). To be brutally frank, Shalhoub probably owes a few of his three past victories to the fact that he plays a colorful oddball on a one-hour show.

I totally agree with Boomer's evaluation of Carell's amazing performance in "Toby." "He gets to be over-the-top funny, sentimental, romantic and just about everything else," Boomer notes. "If he doesn't win this time, I don't think he ever will." Read my full examination of Carell's episode HERE.

But Carell has a problem: he portrays a boss from hell who's so creepy that he's hard to embrace — and Emmys are all about TV industry insiders passing out hugs, of course. Yes, Carell has many redeeming, even sympathetic moments here, but he had a doozy of a heart-tugging scene at the end of last year's episode ("Business School") that suddenly redeemed his character, and he still lost — to someone portraying a creep, no less (Ricky Gervais, "Extras")!

I agree completely with the ranking in this category made by our other forums moderator: Robert "Rob L" Licuria (AwardsHeaven.net). Alec Baldwin only stars in a half-hour show ("30 Rock"), but his performance in the "Rosemary's Baby" episode has the most powerful impact of all five nominees, even though it's just one scene.

The usual Emmy formula for winning is this: The actor must show off a broad emotional range and have at least one big-impact scene in an empathetic role. Baldwin displays a dazzling array of emotions when he breaks into his outrageous jive riff during the therapy session with Tracy, which has the impact of a nuclear bomb. Empathy? Sure, Baldwin, like Carell, portrays a creepy boss from hell, but admit it — I do — he's so hilariously devilish that you can't help but root for him. Read my full examination of Baldwin's episode HERE.

This race is neck and neck, a total toss-up. Boomer may be right and, if so, Carell would totally deserve the victory. But I have a hunch Rob's correct. However, I don't pick Baldwin with enormous confidence.

What about the others, you ask? Shalhoub's "Naked Man" isn't strong enough this year (READ MORE). Lee Pace is mesmerizing in the pilot episode of "Pushing Daisies," but he doesn't have the big-impact scene (READ MORE). Charlie Sheen gives his best performance ever in "Is There a Mrs. Waffles?" but "Two and a Half Men" doesn't have the depth or snob appeal of, say, "Frasier," which accounts for Kelsey Grammer's four past wins in this category. Read more about Sheen's episode HERE.

BEST COMEDY ACTOR: BOOMER'S RANKING
1. Steve Carell, "The Office"
2. Alec Baldwin, "30 Rock"
3. Charlie Sheen, "Two and a Half Men"
4. Tony Shalhoub, "Monk"
5. Lee Pace, "Pushing Daisies"

BOOMER'S COMMENTARY: Carell has the best episode he has ever submitted with "Goodbye, Toby" and has the added benefit of extra time with an hour-long episode. He gets to be over-the-top funny, sentimental, romantic and just about everything else. If he doesn't win this time, I don't think he ever will. I thoroughly enjoyed the "Rosemary's Baby" episode and especially Alec Baldwin in it. He gets one incredible scene in the therarpy session with Tracy Morgan, but that's all he's got with more of the episode devoted to the storyline featuring Carrie Fisher. Sheen's episode is also very impressive and is definitely the best he has ever offered to the Emmy judges.

I hope and think the Emmy voters will be over Shalhoub's tired act, and he helped them out by offering his worst submission yet. Lee Pace is the charming center of his show, but I don't think he can compete with the genuine laughs delivered by the others.

BEST COMEDY ACTOR: ROB'S RANKING
1. Alec Baldwin
2. Steve Carell
2. Lee Pace
4. Tony Shalhoub
5. Charlie Sheen

ROB'S COMMENTARY: On first view of the five submitted episodes, I think the top three are in with the best chance at a win, with Alec Baldwin and his hilarious performance in "30 Rock's" "Rosemary's Baby" nudging him in front of Carell and Pace, both with fine performances in hour-long episodes and hard to separate at this stage. Shalhoub also has an hour-long episode to boost his chances, but I don't think this episode is enough for him to win again. Sheen's is also quite funny and well-chosen, but he'll probably sit this one out with this tough competition.

Excerpt From BuddyTV.com
'Monk' Actor to Appear at Educational Conference
Friday, August 22, 2008
Yahoo! Buzz

While some celebrities like to get their names on tabloids for all the wrong reasons, a number of others are exerting their time and efforts towards meaningful causes such as charity fund-raisers and awareness events. Such is the case for Hector Elizondo, who plays Dr. Neven Bell in the hit USA series, Monk. In fact, the 71-year-old Emmy-award winning actor will join California's second lady, Patricia Garamendi will be headlining an event called the 3rd National Concepts in Care Conference sponsored by the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. The event will take place in San Francisco on September 18.

Elizondo, who also recently appeared in the series Cane as Pancho Duque, will be speaking to audiences about his experiences caring for his mother, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, a fact he shares with Garamendi.

AFA Agenda

I have plans to attend and hopefully to meet and speak to Mr. Elizondo.

Hello Goodbyegirl

I am sooooooo excited hope there is some media coverage...tasteful of course..would love some more video footage of Hector on a subject so close to his heart.

Yes indeed Hector is 71 wonderful years old...he certainly does look the business...looks easily ten years younger...especially when he dyes his hair darker...he looks even younger. You should see his hair piece in the film Georgia Rule...they have given him long silver straight silver hair tied at the back like an indian brave....still wonderful I just love watching this guy act...knocks the spots of everyone around...always manages to steal the show....just magical.

Mind you I would say that wouldn't I....I think it is called undying devotion.

Hector's wife Carolee is 72 years and is absolutely beautiful...they will celebrate their 40th wedding aniversay next April....they certainly are a great couple with a very happy marriage ...fancy being married to Hector for 40 years...immm now that is a thought to carry around in my little head for a while.

Speak soon
