A source tells me that joining Lisa Rinna on the red carpet for the TV Guide Channel Emmy pre-show will be...Joey Fatone! Ryan, as you already know, is hosting the ceremony, the E! pre-show, checking tickets at the door, vacuuming the red carpet, working as a seat filler AND making deserts for the Governor's Ball.
This leaves a gig open for Joey who has been red-hot since his runner-up finish on "Dancing With the Stars" last spring.
Joey is hosting the hit NBC prime-time game show "The Singing Bee" and has proven himself to be quite a charmer. Rinna, I can take or leave. Joey is a ham, but in a fun way. Rinna is a ham, but in an irritating way.
So, this is the team that replaces Joan and Mellissa Rivers. The still very funny Joan, as always, is as busy as ever. Mellissa, however, isn't.
