Last night’s Emmy Awards ceremony was mostly lackluster (thanks, Howie Mandel). Despite the 30 Rock sweep and Don Rickles riffing, there were only a small handful of enjoyable moments, the best by far being the stand-off between Ricky Gervais and Steve Carrell.

CELEBRITY BUZZ: Just a year after winning an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress on Grey’s Anatomy , the TV-cum-movie star has publicly excused herself from this year’s possible list of nominees due to her character’s lackluster material. Naturally, her move is being attacked more than lauded, but at least this gives a better chance to the ladies of Battlestar Galactica . …Oh wait, the Academy doesn’t honor good shows.

CELEBRITY BUZZ: Mel Gibson took Britney Spears (and her dad?!) to his home in Costa Rica for a little R&R. The unlikely BFF’s used to be neighbors in Malibu, and have surely bonded over their shared passion for eighteenth-century Russian literature and fine wines. (…Whoops, we meant Us Weekly and booze. Our bad!)
