Barry Manilow's pre-surgery routine included picking up an Emmy Sunday night. Monday he's having hip surgery.

"This goes into the operating room with me tomorrow morning as a good-luck charm," Manilow said as he hoisted the trophy for outstanding individual performance in a variety or music program.

Manilow, 60, had to cancel performances at the Las Vegas Hilton because of the painful cartilage tears in both hips.

But he was able to perform "The Bandstand Boogie" for the Emmy audience.

Manilow's recovery and rehabilitation are expected to take about eight weeks.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Emmy night tasted bitter and sweet for stars of shows that either ended or were canceled last season.

"It's like, `Oh, we're nominated. Oh, we're canceled,'" said "Arrested Development" co-star Tony Hale.

It was a bit easier for Jane Kaczmarek, who said all the actors who played her sons on "Malcolm in the Middle" had grown up. Her husband, Bradley Whitford, said it was also the right timing for "The West Wing."

"In both our cases, it was time to say goodbye," Whitford said.

For Lisa Kudrow, her series "The Comeback" was canceled almost a year ago.

"We had a year to recover," she said. "We feel great."

"Huff" actress Blythe Danner, who won supporting actress in a drama, said she did not expect to win because the show was canceled.

"I'm absolutely floored," Danner said. "It's a very nice way to say goodbye."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — With a fiery late-August sun bearing down on the red carpet, stars gathering for the Emmy Awards had to be creative to keep cool.

Jennifer Love Hewitt's publicist held a mini-fan for the actress to use during media interviews.

"There's nothing you can do," said Hewitt, shrugging in a heavily beaded, silver gown.

Steve Carell of "The Office" dabbed sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

"It's hotter than chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven," Carell said.

For Tyra Banks, in a long Georges Chakra gown, staying cool was impossible.

"Underneath this dress, I'm dripping," Banks said. "Not cute, believe me."

Isaiah Washington of "Grey's Anatomy" said sweating was inevitable.

"You just got to make it look good," he said.

"Grey's Anatomy" co-star Chandra Wilson dressed for the weather: Her dress featured a long side slit.

"I have some air vents," she joked.
