The 53rd Emmy Prime-time Awards are rescheduled—again. Originally slated for Sept. 16, the ceremony was postponed in light of the terrorist attacks on the U.S. CBS and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences decide to hold off longer, saying any celebration would still be inappropriate. No date has been set.
Sharon Stone is released from a San Francisco hospital after receiving treatment for a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which was initially diagnosed as a brain aneurysm.

A California judge sentences beleaguered stand-up comic Paula Poundstone to a 180-day stay at the Promises rehab center and 200 hours of community service. He also bans her from ever caring for foster children again. Superior Court Judge Bernard Kamins also puts her on probation for five years and demands that she abstain from alcohol. She was arrested and charged with three counts of committing lewd acts on a girl under 14 and one count of endangering two girls and two boys in June. Poundstone has three adopted children and has cared for several foster children.
