Speaker 1 (00:01):
For those seventy seventh Emmy Awards. Didn't they deliver just
about everything that we wanted from them?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It really did.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
From history making wins that with those hi iconic reunions
some very quirky outfits was everything the morning show would need.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's always about the outfits. Up Peter Ford is in
Los Angeles. How very Hollywood of upe. It seems to
have paid off. The numbers are in for the Emmys.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Yeah, good numbers. They'd be very happy.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Actually, up eight percent on last year and the highest
rating since two thousand and one, so that's about seven
point four million people were watching it. I thought, to
be honest, it wasn't one of the great Emmy Awards.
It was okay. Nate Burgatesey the host of it. He's
unusual choice actually because he's a very successful comedian, but
(00:44):
he doesn't do political stuff, doesn't do any sexual references,
is a very open, devout Christian, and so he didn't
want to send up people in the industry. So I
guess it was kind of a clean, not mean host
for the event. And I would have thought that's a
recipe be blanned. But as I say, the figures are
really good. We mentioned yesterday. But this really cute concept
(01:06):
that they came up with, one of those ideas we think,
what don't we think of that? So what they did
They put one hundred thousand dollars on the table and
they said, this money is going to the Girls and
Boys Club of America, kind of like the Scouts and Brownies.
So good course, one hundred thousand dollars on the table.
Every person who wins gets forty five seconds to speak.
(01:27):
If you go over that every second, we deduct a
thousand dollars. If you go under your forty five seconds,
we'll put.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
One thousand dollars back in.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
So of course, it's like nobody wants to be the
person whose ego has meant that they ended up robbing
the charity, tim So they actually ended up handing over
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, so people did come
in under. So that's an idea that you can be
guaranteed is going to be replicated for all future award shows.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I didn't like it because I think you're not watching that.
Was it on the screen the whole time?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah? I would have been listening to the speech. Yeah, yeah, good.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
How about you just make the donation to charity and
be done with it.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, we're finding out that some stars had to skip
the event, sort of last minute. Peep.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
You were you most concerned about this.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Larry, most of the night.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
You're concerned, a little bit of concern your pin up, Yeah,
Larry's pin up.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Sophia Vigara was a last minute absentee. Literally was about
to get into the car and she had you can
see here, share everything or it didn't happen. So she
had an eye allergy and as a result of that,
she Yeah, you don't think she's going to turn up
at the Emmy Awards like that, but nonetheless she's still
willing to show it.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
She still looks good, still in an unusual way. Yeah,
I think he.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Will be a bit one eye when it comes to Gloria,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I've got to say that that is a surprise to
me because she was texting you weird hours and I
thought shouldn't have been at the event.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
And now it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
And also there's spelling mistakes with one eye that explains
a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
The other person who far more serious one though, I suspect,
is Eric Dane. Now he was meant to be on
stage as a presenter, but he did also drop out.
The producers have said all we were told was he
can't make it. Now it's common knowledge that he's talked
about it, that he is battling als or is it
better known in an Australia mode of neur own disease.
(03:29):
A couple of months ago, when he did give an
interview about it, he did indicate that he felt his
condition was deteriorating pretty rapidly. Hopefully that's not the case
anyone with a condition like that. You have good days,
you have bad days. Hopefully yesterday was just a bad
day and not a sign of something more serious.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, that's Hope saying to me. To other entertainment news
DJ Calvin Harris, he's involved in this multimillion dollar legal battle.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Tell us more well.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Calvin Harris, for those who don't know, is a real
major player in the music world as a DJ, you
know that sort of suggests something pretty simple, but also
as a producer. But like he's a big time DJ,
and he's, as I say, a major player, as you
can tell by the kind of money you're about to
talk about.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
So he had a financial.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Advisor for thirteen years and after thirteen years this bloke
came to and said, I've got a great project and
I want you to be a major invested in it.
Other people are going to be doing it's going to
be a bit office block, but it's going to have
record recording studios, artist rooms, loungers, a live place for
musicians to play and perform. It sounded great, right in
(04:39):
the heart of Hollywood, and so he put in twelve
and a half million dollars US. And then a couple
of years down the track, there were problems with this
project and the financial advisor came back and said, we've
hit a few hurdles. Could you put a bit more
money in? So he put another ten million dollars into it.
So we're now talking about twenty two and a half
(05:00):
million US.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
So it's a lot of money now.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
So he's now going after that ex financial advisor because
he says he stole of the money. And this is
where it's going to get quite interesting, because there is
no suggestion of any kind of embezzlement. Everything was above board.
It's simply a project that hasn't taken off. It hasn't
worked financially. There's no suggestion the money was taken out
(05:25):
of Calvin's account against his will. They admit he signed
all the documents to say he wanted to be part
of this investment, and sometimes investments don't pay off. As
for the loan, well, that was meant to be repaid
on January thirty one, presumably there might be paperwork for
that which would be quite different to the original investment.
But a lot of money for a project that they
(05:48):
say is still going to happen. That Calvin clearly smells
a rat and wants his money back.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Okay, could you do me a favor if you're not
doing much else today, I'm going to just send you
Sophia's address if you could pick up a bunch of flowers.
You just go to the neighbor's house and then about
the third palm tree on the left, there's a break
in the fence. You just got through and put the
flowers on the front door for me.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
That's right, that's the break in the fence that she
doesn't know about.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Right, No one knows about that.
