Hello, everybody. The theme song for Sunday's 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards should've been Ray Stevens's "The Streak", as "Mad Men" continued theirs with three Best Dramas in a row while "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" is now 7-0 on the Variety, Music, or Comedy Series side.

But for "The Amazing Race" and "30 Rock", it was over thanks to "Top Chef" and "Modern Family" claiming Reality-Competition and Best Comedy respectively. The Lead Acting honors went to:

• COMEDY: Edie Falco ("Nurse Jackie") and Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory")
• DRAMA: Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad") and Kyra Sedgwick ("The Closer)"
• MINISERIES/MOVIE: Al Pacino ("You Don't Know Jack") and Claire Danes ("Temple Grandin")

"Glee" didn't go home empty handed; Jane Lynch collected Supporting Actress-Comedy while Guest Actor-Comedy went to Neil Patrick Harris at last week's Creative Arts awards.

Also at that aforementioned ceremony, Betty White as expected added another Emmy for "Saturday Night Live" while Jeff Probst picked up his fourth straight Reality Program Host for "Survivor."

Now this year's awards were broadcast live from coast-to-coast for the first time including Alaska and Hawaii, but in the case of the lively red carpet, it was awashed in blue. That color looked good on January Jones (Versace) and birthday girl Lea Michele (Oscar de la Renta) though there were other colors on the rainbow including Glenn Close in green, Kim Kardashian and leggy Brooke Burke in white, Kate Gosselin in simple black, and Sofia Vergara in yummy yellow.

So...who was the most colorful of them all? Their show may have lost to "Modern Family", but "Glee's" dynamic duo of Michele and Dianna Agron (the latter in Carolina Herrera) sang my praises as best-dressed. And January Jones and Christina Hendricks...if you're reading this blog, I have a spinoff show for you: "Drab Women"!

Like I said, it was all about the streak as a couple shows kept theirs while two others came to an end. All in all, it was a "Mad"-ly "Modern" night at the Emmys.

Now of course, everybody has been Tweeting while watching all this transpire, and some of this year's nominees like Vergara and Michele as well as Agron have Twitter handles. Of course this year's Emmy host Jimmy Fallon infused some tweets into the show. But they all do not have millions of followers unlike Lady Gaga, who recently surpassed Britney Spears among celebrities with 5.9 million compared to Britney's 5.78 million. And to celebrate that milestone, she put out a thank-you video to her "little monsters".

This was going to be my third Celebrity Twitter/Facebook Wish List, but I couldn't think up of any who are without those two. Maybe next time though.

Five summers ago, I vacationed in North Carolina (for what would be my last visit with grandmother Mildred and later the Mississippi Coast. For the latter, it would also be the last time I would see the coast as we know it.

This weekend was the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which left parts of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast into ruins. Over those years, the area was rebuilt both financially and emotionally, and it all culminated with the New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl XLIV victory which resulted in being the most-watched television broadcast of all time.

The entertainment industry helped out in a big way, with movies and shows like "True Blood" and "Treme" being shot in Louisiana thanks to the state's tax credits.

So, what have we learned in the last half-decade. Just like New York City when they fully recovered from their wounds suffered by the September 11 attacks, Louisiana and Mississippi knew how to heal from Katrina with as much resources possible even if George W. Bush's administration dropped the ball on federal aid with several humanitarian organizations stepping in. I remember reading a picture book showing the Mississippi coast post-Katrina with the words "The Coast will be back!" at the end, and yes, the Coast is back...though they have dodged a bullet this year with the BP oil spill.

And last but not least...last Tuesday we had the primary elections, where the attention was focused on Lisa Murkowski's job security in the Senate, with Joe Miller about to take it. At last count, Miller was leading over Murkowski by 2,000 or so votes. By the way, it'll be incumbent Sean Parnell vs. Hollis French battling it out on November 2 for the big job, and early polls show that if the election was held now, Parnell would still be earning an additional four years as our governor.

The absentee and question ballots will now decide if Sarah Palin's gambit will either pay off or backfire, and we'd have 100% of the votes in this week. If I was Murkowski, I better start praying for a miracle right now; otherwise, those prayers will go Joe's way. So long and stay strong.
