FRIDAY NIGHT HEIGHTS: After living out its final two seasons as a DirecTV charity case, Friday Night Lights managed a Dillon Lions-style upset when Kyle Chandler topped all the usual suspects for best actor in a drama at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards. The 2011 Emmys, from Mad Men and Modern Family's repeat wins to Charlie Sheen's uncharacteristically tame presence, didn't offer much in the way of viral moments, but worthwhile host Jane Lynch and wins for Melissa McCarthy, Peter Dinklage, Margo Martindale and Jon Stewart (albeit The Daily Show''s ninth in a row) kept us occupied once the fashion show was over. And cameos by likes of Robert Pattinson at the afterparties kept us on our toes late into the night!

And here's everything that happened after that (plus movie reviews, recaps of your favorite shows, romantic celeb sightings, hookup dish, a pic in which Lindsay Lohan appears to be making out with her mom, and more):

FLOORED: The premiere of Dancing With the Stars revealed that Chaz Bono can totally bust a move. Also impressing were Chynna Phillips, J.R. Martinez and David Arquette, while Carson Kressley was easily the most fun if not the best. Elisabetta Canalis thought that was it for her, but flat-footed Metta World Peace (the former Ron Artest) and newbie partner Peta Murgatroyd were first to be sent home. Plus, it's a battle for bragging rights as Rob Kardashian follows in Kim Kardashian's footsteps.

SPOILS OF WAR: The Charlie Sheen roast was Comedy Central's most-watched roast ever and one of its most-watched shows, period, while Ashton Kutcher's Two and a Half Men debut cleaned up with 28.7 million viewers. Denise Richards didn't take part in either one, but oh, just imagine the possiblities. Could it be, though, that the Men crew got more of a kick from Charlie than Ashton? And we don't mean a substance-assisted kick!

GONE BABY GONE: The 2-year-old daughter of 16 and Pregnant pair Josh Rendon and Ebony Jackson was taken away by child services after narcs and Little Rock Air Force Base investigators searched the couple's home, found marijuana and deemed their living conditions "deplorable" for various unsavory-sounding reasons.

MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN: Criss Angel popped the question to Sandra Gonzalez with a 5-carat ring he helped design. Or pulled out of a hat.

WHOA BABY: Emily Deschanel and hubby David Hornsby welcomed a son, Henry...Jennifer Garner dishes on pregnancy and her daughter's cute comments...It's gonna be a girl for Marla Sokoloff and hubby Alex Puro...Baby No. 2 on the way for Ne-Yo and girlfriend Monyetta Shaw...Kimberly Stewart's daughter's name reflects both parents: Delilah Genoveva Stewart Del Toro...Mel B and Stephen Belafonte debut new daughter Madison.

JUDAS: Lady Gaga is alive and well, just hoaxed.

PLAYING BALL: Already making the rounds for Moneyball, Brad Pitt found himself still clarifying his feelings about his six-years-ago marriage to Jennifer Anistonnot because Jen cares, mind you. At least he was able to talk about stuff that's actually happening now a little bit.

DON'T STOP BELIEVIN': Michaele Salahi and Journey guitarist Neal Schon compare their love affair to a fairytale. Tareq Salahi and Schon's ex-wife Amber Kozan, however, paint a more Grimm picture.

IMAGE PROBLEM: Sarah Michelle Gellar may have a serious condition called body dysmorphic disorder, but if she doesn't...she shouldn't say she "totally" does.

IT'S ALL RELATIVE: Er, Lindsay Lohan? We don't think French-kissing your mom is the way to go right now. Maybe when you win an Oscar. (But way to distract from randomly smooching hotelier Vikram Chatwal!)

GETTING SERIOUS: Wanda Sykes revealed she underwent a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.

PTSD: A disoriented Kim Delaney had to be removed from the stage while speaking at the Liberty Medal Awards as she confused her tour of duty on Army Wives with actual military service.

BIEBS & GOMEZ PLUS 6: Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are apparently getting started on their Christmas cards, circa 2018, early.

HIGH NOON: A bull-ridin' Bristol Palin sparred with a Sarah Palin basher at a bar and it went all wrong, very fast...Meanwhile, Levi Johnston unloaded to E! News at a rapid clip about Sarah's cougar crush and bedtime habits.

JUST CAUSE: Earlier in the week, Kim Kardashian, Big Boi, Rosario Dawson, Russell Simmons and more got the word out in support of stopping the planned execution of convicted murderer Troy Davis in Georgia. Davis was put to death Wednesday, maintaining his innocence in the 1989 shooting of a cop all the way. Alec Baldwin shared his outrage after the fact.

UNCOUPLED: Lea Michelle and boyfriend Theo Stockman split up...Lily Collins and Taylor Lautner have called it quits...Teen Mom's Gary Shirley says he and Amber Portwood are finished...Matt Roth filed for divorce from Roseanne star Laurie Metcalf.

ROYAL CORNER: Kate Middleton is really taking princess lessons...PETA would prefer it if Prince William doesn't shoot birds and make a spectacle of gifting them...Pippa Middleton isn't really moving in with Will and Kate...Pippa did take a seat at the Temperley London show during London Fashion Week.

THELMA AND LA SLEAZE: Eva Amurri's engagement party at Lavo in the Palazzo in Las Vegas is apparently come one, come all.

HOLY FUTURESEX!: Jessica Biel's big ole baby bump sure threw people for a loop.

ONCE BITTEN: This whole Nicolas Cage-vampire thing is too eerie. But it explains a lot.

LAW & DISORDER: Paris Hilton successfully completed her Vegas coke bust probation...Jury seated for Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial...Bling Ringer Rachel Lee cuts a deal for Audrina Patridge burglary...John Travolta talks to E! about his stolen Mercedes...Gisele Bündchen talks her way out of a ticket without saying a word...Kate Gosselin wasn't as lucky...Tom Sizemore busted on outstanding battery warrant. Tremendous...Charlie Sheen could be $25 million richer after Warner Bros. pays up.
