Early Buzz: Emmys, Prince, 'Doctor Who' and more

Good morning, everyone! I'm a little groggy because I stayed up to watch yet another ho-hum Emmys telecast. Thanks to all of you who retweeted/said nice things about my retro live-tweets during the show. I hadn't planned on doing that, but as the night went on I needed to entertain myself, and pics of Don Knotts and Dinah Shore seemed to do the trick!

A few headlines:

- It was a perfect idea to put Billy Eichner on the Emmy telecast.

- Watch Billy Crystal's tribute to Robin Williams from last night.

- The Doctor Who premiere got great ratings.

- The MTV VMAs ignored the fact that Sunday marked the 30th anniversary of the awards show. (I guess they're trying to stay young!)

- The Omen is becoming a TV series.

- In Henry Rollins' latest column, he apologizes for his previous insensitive column.

- Here's a Q&A with Olivia Williams, who is so great on WGN America's Manhattan.

- Can Game of Thrones be explained in a two-and-a-half-minute video?

- Prince has two new albums on the way in September.

- And the highest-paid TV actor is ... Ashton Kutcher?

- Here are a bunch of pics of Arcade Fire in New York. David Byrne joined them onstage, and they covered Suicide's Dream Baby Dream.

- Fred Willard will guest star on the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.

- We have a story about "cutting the cord," which I'm inching closer to doing.

- What are the greatest concert movies of all time?

- The 1980 Datsun from Into the Wild is on eBay. (Thanks, Zack.)

- And sigh, I already miss Eric from True Blood. That scene with him in the car was the best part of the finale.
