The Daytime Emmys have found a home. After ABC, NBC and CBS opted out of airing the show, the CW welcomed the show with open arms. The CW does not air daytime soaps, but has several soapy primetime shows including "Gossip Girl." According to our pal Tom O'Neil, the show will air from California, not New York, as was previously announced. O'Neil has always known his soap stuff.

As well as being an editor at In Touch magazine, O'Neil has long been the statistician for the Daytime Emmys. At each award show, he would provide reports with tidbits such as "This is the tenth time the actor has been nominated: once for writing a soap; all the others for acting." The real voting process began last week when all the pre-nominated actors sent out DVDs of their work to academy voters. Although NBC won't air the Emmys, it will announce the final nominees on the fourth hour of the "Today" show May 14. As for the actual award show, it is slated to air in early fall. A host has yet to be named, but Tyra Banks has been mentioned.


Michael E. Knight (Tad, "All My Children") and his ex-wife, Catherine Hickland (ex-Lindsay, "One Life to Live"), no longer own their Upper West Side apartment in New York. The apartment sold for over $2 million. Both Knight and Hickland often provided places to stay for actors who were between gigs or were new to town and in between apartments.

One transplanted West Coast actor moved into the place for three weeks. He was like "The Man Who Came to Dinner." Six months later, Hickland was still trying to get him to move out. The actor finally moved out when he returned to the West Coast.
