CONAN TO HOST EMMY AWARDS Conan O'Brien is moving from Late Night to primetime, if only for one night. NBC confirms the wee-hours talk show host will emcee the 54th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, the first time he's hosted the event.

BLAKE LOSES BAIL BID Actor Robert Blake has again been denied bail, keeping him locked up on homicide charges in the May 2001 slaying of his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley. The California Court of Appeals late Tuesday rejected a motion by Blake's lawyers to force a lower court judge to hold a bail hearing. The ruling backs up prosecutors' belief Blake was "laying in wait" outside the Los Angeles restaurant where Bakley was gunned down. Blake, behind bars since his April 18 arrest, pleaded innocent to charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder and solicitation of murder. Advertisement
