...getting closer all the time. Or so it appears from five floors up a tiny lift at Diva, a karaoke bar in central Osaka that seems little bigger than a shoebox. It's way past midnight following the orchestra's final concert, and the beer is flowing?as is Carbo's voice: "My, my, my, Delilah!" The reverb might be less than crystal-clear tonight, but that doesn't stop the high emotion from bouncing back.

Guest has straight-facedly proposed O'Hara as an actual awards candidate. Which proves that he is the master of an irony so deep, it almost seems unconscious...
...eight years she co-starred on NBC's hit comedy Will & Grace, Emmy-winning actress Megan Mullally perfected the swagger, voice and over-the-top attitude - part Mae West, part Minnie Mouse - of rich diva Karen Walker. Now Mullally - who won her second Emmy on Sunday for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series - is venturing into daytime television as host of The Megan Mullally Show, a syndicated talk/variety series that debuts Sept. 18. TIME's Jeanne McDowell talked to Mullally about the challenges of daytime yakking, life after Will & Grace and why she and Sean Hayes (who played flamboyant...
