It was the third win for 'Mad Men' and the first for the new sitcom 'Modern Family.' Bryan Cranston won for actor in a dramatic role for 'Breaking Bad," while Kyra Sedgewick was the female winner for 'The Closer.' On the comedic side, the top winners were Edie Falco for 'Nurse Jackie' and Jim Parsons for 'The Big Bang Theory.'

Barrino performed four songs at the Palm's Casino Resort's Rain Nightclub, and even spoke a little bit about her suicide attempt. "I was in the hospital but now I bounce back," she told the audience. "Don't ever let your haters stop you. Don't ever let them stop your destiny." The singer was at the club to celebrate the release of her new album, 'Back to Me,' which hit the stores on Aug. 24, and surprised the crowd with her performance.

Paris Hilton was arrested on Friday in Las Vegas for possession of cocaine, but her lawyer tells People magazine that everyone should hold their judgment. "This matter will be dealt with in the courts, not in the media, and I encourage people not to rush to judgment until all of the facts have been dealt with in a court of law," said Hilton's lawyer, David Chesnoff. Hilton was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over on Friday night, and a search of her purse yielded a small amount of cocaine. She was released on her own recognizance. Earlier this summer, Hilton had two run-ins with law enforcement over marijuana use, once in Corsica, and also in South Africa.
