...faint ring of a lyric in a sentimental country-music ballad--fitting for Gilley, 67, who has sung more than his fair share. Country-music fans remember him for his 17 No. 1 country hits and for inspiring the urban-cowboy trend in the 1980s--you may recall Debra Winger riding a mechanical bull at "Gilley's" in the 1980 movie Urban Cowboy. These days Gilley is still pumping out music (Invitation Only was released in May), playing gigs (about 225 concerts a year) and opening clubs (he licensed his name to a Gilley's that is slated to open...
...Even most of the "surprise" winners - like Will & Grace's Debra Messing for best comedy actress - had been nominated several times before. And if you were surprised by The West Wing's win for best drama - since even many of its fans thought it had a subpar year - you shouldn't have been. When it comes to picking Emmy winners, there's no substitute for old-fashioned cynicism.

...pulled it off. By Tuesday evening the Applebaum home in Jerusalem's Kiryat Shmuel neighborhood was in happy turmoil. Several hundred guests had arrived in town from as far away as Australia, and David's wife Debra was making last-minute adjustments to seating plans for the wedding dinner.

As the night wore on and people...
...great way to socialize. Joshua Dobrzynski, who used to think "hitting pool balls around was senseless," was hooked once he tried it. He says the appeal of pool, which has surpassed even video games in his affections, is the adrenaline rush of the balls' "clacking." Chicago cop Debra Spraggins, who takes lessons with her son Nick, 12, says the focus on angles has helped him in math class, and the game has provided a refreshing way for her and Nick to spend time with each other. "Usually there's a hierarchy in our relationship. I'm the parent...
...trotted onstage like so many singing bar-mitzvah dancers, performing a "rock opera" that twitted executives and sang the network's praises. At one point, the prerecorded music crapped out, leaving the four singing a parody of "Dancing Queen" a cappella - and let's just say it revealed that Debra Messing is, um, not a professional singer, a fact underscored when she sang a duet with costar Harry Connick Jr., who is. If Fox is smart, they'll score a tape of the performance and have Randy, Paula and Simon go at it during their own upfront...
