Morning Mix: Adam Has Always Been Out, Says Kara
- "Family Guy" -- Can It Break the Ceiling? For the second year in a row, "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane will submit his animated comedy for a Best Comedy Emmy -- only this time, doing so makes him ineligible to submit the show in the animated category, as well. His rationale: "We don't produce our show the that way SpongeBob does. We're much more analogous to traditional sitcoms. Our writers don't come from animation; they come from comedies. I hear people all the time tell me that they love The Office, 30 Rock and our show. Then why are we not all competing in the same world?" [Variety]
- Adam's Always Been Out, Judge Says. Kara DioGuardi, the fourth American Idol judge, has ostensibly outed runner-up Adam Lambert -- though she claims he was openly gay throughout the competition. On The View, she told Barbara Walters that "I don't think that Adam was ever in [the closet] -- I think he was always openly out." [People]
- Samberg Preps for MTV Movie Awards. As with some of the biggest names in comedy (Tina Fey, Conan O'Brien), Andy Samberg will get a chance to perform as host for a show he used to write. For four years, Samberg wrote for the MTV Movie Awards before leaving for SNL -- on Sunday, he'll serve as the awards show's host. He's promised us at least a few digital shorts, so we're in!
