Fox All Access was on the red carpet today to talk to many of the TV, film, and sport celebrities gathering at Sony Studios to take part in tonight’s Stand Up 2 Cancer fundraising event.

It has been a great year for Kyra Sedgwick. Last Sunday, she won her first Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, for her starring role in The Closer.

Sedgwick always received good reviews for her movies, but has now found a home on a hit television series, and loves the impact she has on the fans of the show.

Recommendation: After six seasons, “House” remains one of the best-written and best-acted shows on TV. Standout episodes from this season include ”5 To 9,” focusing on a day in the life of Dr. Cuddy; “Broken,” an acting tour de force for Hugh Laurie, who appears in every scene of the two-hour episode; and the season’s heart-wrenching finale. It’s worth the price.

It’s hard to imagine television today without the iconic police and court drama, the original Law & Order on the air. For 20 seasons the show captivated audiences. Had it gone on for another season, it would have broken the record currently held by Gunsmoke, as the longest television show to be on the air.
The creator of the show, Dick Wolf, who also created Law & Order: SVU, and the new series Law & Order: Los Angeles (which will premiere this season), told us that while he and his producing partner, Rene Blacer, are disappointed that the show has ended, all things must come to an end.

Breaking up is hard to do, and Travie McCoy knows a thing or two about that. It’s been said that his debut solo album, “Lazarus,” reflects his heartbreak and attempt to move forward in life. The culprit? The ever-so lovely Katy Perry. The funny thing is, the same has been said about songs off of her most recent album, “Teenage Dream,” and how they’re being directed at Travie. One in particular, “Circle The Drain,” says, “I’m not sticking around to watch you go down. Wanna be your lover, not your f***ing mother. Can’t be your savior, I don’t have the power I’m not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain.” Ouch! Although, on Travie’s “Don’t Pretend,” he seems to be laying a guilt trip on her for breaking his heart with the words, “open up my chest and you’ll see a cold cavity where my heart use to be.” Everyone can speculate what’s really being said, but Foxallaccess.com went straight to Travie McCoy to get his take. When it comes to people reading hidden meanings into his lyrics, does it amuse or annoy him? (Click on audio player to hear Travie McCoy)

And we’re sure that many of you are very excited about the news — though probably not as excited as the woman who will be sharing the most screen time with him, Jayma Mays. When we spoke to her on the red carpet, she could barely contain her enthusiasm about working with Stamos and the new directions her character, Emma Pillsbury, will be going in this season. “Glee’s” sophomore season begins Tuesday, September 21 on Fox.
