The theme song of the Daytime Emmys this year for Rachael Ray and Tyra Banks was "R-E-S-P-E-C-T."
Ray and Banks still get much of their TV attention for their popular specialty shows — Ray with her food juggernaut, Banks with "America's Next Top Model." Both also get a fair amount of tabloid attention for everything from their relationships to their shapes.
So it was an impressive step that they won the two top talk show prizes in last night's awards ceremony.
Ray won for "best entertainment" talk show, while Banks won for "best informative" talk show. The original inclusive award was split into those two separate categories last year, though the line between them remains fuzzy.
Banks had not previously been nominated for a Daytime Emmy. Ray was nominated in the talk category last year and won in 2006 for "30 Minute Meals."
In equally big Daytime Emmy news, Ellen DeGeneres dropped to runner-up in the "best talk show host" category that she had won the previous four years.
Beating her took a team effort: the "View" team, with Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd and Barbara Walters.
Ray was also nominated in that category, along with Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin.
Regis was one of the few male nominees in the female-dominated daytime world. The tilt of daytime programming was also dramatically reflected in the shift of the show from ABC to the CW, a smaller network that openly targets younger women.
DeGeneres should be able to survive stepping down from this throne. She has been a regular winner in the People's Choice awards, her ratings have remained stable, she celebrated the 1,000th episode in May and she remains a popular high-end celebrity endorser. She's currently the face of Cover Girl cosmetics.
Elsewhere, "Cristina's Court" again beat veterans "Judge Judy" and "The People's Court" for best legal/courtroom program. It's the second win for the show, which is only in its third year.
Meanwhile, CBS' "The Bold and The Beautiful" was named best drama, beating out ABC's "All My Children" and NBC's "Days of Our Lives."
The top acting prizes were shared among the soaps, with Christian LeBlanc winning for his lead role in CBS' "The Young and the Restless" and Susan Haskell taking the corresponding prize for ABC's "One Life To Live."
Supporting honors went to Tamara Braun for "Days of Our Lives," while Vincent Irizarry of "All My Children" tied with Jeff Branson of CBS' "Guiding Light."
In all, "One Life to Live" and "All My Children" led the field with five Emmys each, while PBS' "Sesame Street," "The View," "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and "El Tigre" won four each.

How to Make Shake and Bake Meth; Recipe Coming to a Backpack Near You
Updated Shake and Bake Meth Ingredients May Point to Renewed Surge in Meth Use
Shake and Bake Meth Recipe Circumvents Large Number of Known Meth Ingredients
It is well known that meth ingredients are bought and sold at the supermarket, and while in the past a meth recipe might have called for copious amounts of cold pills, the modern shake and bake meth recipe avoids this provision. As you may recall, lawmakers have sought to get around the
How to Make Shake and Bake Meth; Recipe Coming to a Backpack Near You
pamphlets instructing how to make meth by moving cold pills behind the pharmacy counters.
The Associated Press reports that a new wave of online recipes for how to make shake and bake meth greatly cuts down on the quantity of cold pill derived pseudoephedrine, which of course renders lawmakers' efforts at curbing meth manufacture moot.
How to Make Shake and Bake Meth
For obvious reasons, I will not be posting the meth recipe that lists not only quantities of ingredients but also an elaborate manual on how to make shake and bake meth. That being said, it is frightening just how easily that information is obtainable on the Internet, with just a few well placed search terms.
It is noteworthy - especially to parents on the lookout for the sudden increase in suspicious ingredients - that the new kid on the block with respect to meth ingredients is the instant cold pack. Teens learning how to make shake and bake meth are discovering these cold packs as a new way of speeding along their meth production, the Chicago Tribune reports.
The Danger of the Shake and Bake Meth Recipe
Learning how to make shake and bake meth is easy, the meth ingredients are easy to buy, and - according to WSAZ News Channel 3 - and hour's worth of work can net meth with a potential street value of $1,000. Since the new recipe appears to simplify the process - although one slight mistake will still kill you and those who come in contact with the finished product - there is a very real fear that a new drug epidemic is just around the corner.

Michael Jackson Homicide Ruling Surprises Fans
The fact that it's a homicide makes it even more devastating,' one fan tells MTV News.
After weeks of speculation and rumors, the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office report on the death of Michael Jackson has finally been released. Not only does officially it peg Jackson's death to the lethal levels of the anesthetic propofol in his system, but it also classifies the passing of the late pop legend as a homicide. So far, fan reaction has been a healthy mix of surprise, sadness, anger and outrage.
"I'm a little bit surprised," Jane Brackley of London told MTV News in Times Square. "Then again, you knew he was taking quite a few prescription drugs, and somebody had to give them to him."
Tony Tellez of Rochester, New York, echoed those sentiments. "I'm not surprised at all. It's a terrible thing, but I'm not surprised." Asked what he thought the fate would be of Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson's personal physician and the target of the police investigation into the star's death, Tellez said, "I think that guy will probably have a hard time getting out of this."
New Yorker Natasha Jane took the news a bit more personally. "It's very disturbing, and the fact that it's a homicide makes it even more devastating," she said. "I'm a singer, so he was one of my inspirations. You just don't expect anything like this to happen to Michael Jackson."
Londoner Patrick Amara disagreed. "He had too many bad influences around him, and he was exploited constantly, so this news doesn't surprise me," he said. "I had tickets to one of the This Is It shows in London, and now I don't get to see him."
Amara thinks the justice for Murray — and anybody else who may have been complicit in Jackson's death — should be swift and sharp. "They robbed the whole world of the best show ever, and I think prison won't be nearly enough for somebody like that."

Heidi Montag Miss Universe Video
http://www.2snaps.tv/files/images/0_62_montag320.preview.jpg
I'm pretty sure Heidi Montag said she wasn't going to lip-sync at the Miss Universe competition, but I'm not sure how she could even sing her new single "Body Language," there is nothing really to sing. It is like a cross between the Beverly Hills Cop theme and Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me” (I stole the "Rockwell" comment from EW.com, but they nailed it with that reference). It's just one of those songs that is all auto-tuner, backups, and studio tricks. Think photoshop, airbrushing and "star wipe" but for music (I swear there is a star wipe in that song somewhere). Plus TMZ said that production staffers did not want her to sing, because they were afraid she would not remember the words.
In short -- Of course she lip-synced!
The only way I can describe the dancing is, it was like watching one of those Van Halen videos, where David Lee Roth, made the rest of the band do those choreographed routines. Or like Reese Witherspoon's dance number at the end of Vanity Fair, where she just stood there while people danced around her. You know Heidi's backup dancers were rolling their eyes at that bitch the entire "performance."
The saddest thing about the whole mess is that I actually think I'm starting to like the song "Body Language." I'm afraid it may creep onto my Ipod some drunken night. I know it would be like listening to a dollar store Britney Spears, but sometimes I liked the dollar store toys I got as a kid. I was quite fond of a few of them to be honest... Anywhoo watch the video of Montag below, and let us know your thoughts.
