RECAP: On E!, see Neil Patrick Harris get his Creative Arts Emmys. HIGHLIGHTS
Levi Johnston takes to “The Early Show” (CBS at 7 a.m.) to talk all about that letter of intent to run for office in Wasilla, Alaska, presumably for a reality show. In the
sure-to-be-scintillating sit-down, Johnston says he regrets his public apology to Sarah Palin in People magazine, because “it kind of makes [him] sound like a liar. Oh, and he “hopes” he can be a better mayor of Wasilla than Palin.
Sure, we already know all the winners of the Creative Arts Emmys, but it’s still fun to see the pretty people in their pretty outfits before the real show airs this weekend. It’s like a delicious appetizer. Anyway, E! airs a two-hour, edited version of the awards show (that took place last weekend) at 1 p.m. Friday. Among the highlights, look for some Neil Patrick Harris (who won best guest actor in a comedy series for “Glee” and nabbed an award for hosting the Tonys) and Isaiah Mustafa (otherwise known as “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like,” from the Old Spice ad, which took home an award for best commercial).
Filmed in Biloxi, Miss., “The Gulf Is Back” (CW at 8) pays tribute to residents of the Gulf Coast with a one-hour special, hosted by actor David
Hasselhoff. Musical performances include Lonestar, Terri Clark, Brian McKnight and “American Idol” alums Bo Bice, Ace Young and Taylor Hicks. Controversial celebrity
blogger Perez Hilton makes what we’re hoping is his first and last guest appearance on a show aimed at children when he stops by “Victorious” (Nickelodeon at 8), and he gets into a fight with Trina on an airplane when she tries to steal his digital camera. Professional “survivorman”
Les Stroud takes on the wilderness again with his new series “Beyond Survival With Les Stroud” (Discovery at 10), as the adventurer travels around the world to remote locations to learn about indigenous cultures. First stop? A small tribe of people in Sri Lanka. Two Washington chefs — Creme Cafe’s Terrell Danley and the Pug’s Ryan Gordon — race around the city competing in challenges on “Chefs Vs. City” (Food Network at 10), one involving a sculpture made of sugar. Former dolphin trainer Ric and his son Lincoln travel around the world to help save the dolphins on new, three-part series “Blood Dolphins” (Animal Planet at 11), and in the premiere, the pair heads to Japan, where a massive dolphin hunt takes place.

Spanish-language TV’s ‘Cristina’ to end its run
CAROLYN HAX by Yvonne Villarreal
los angeles — First Oprah, now Cristina. Daytime television is about to lose another talk-show queen.
Cristina Saralegui, one of Spanish-language media’s most powerful women, is ending “El Show de Cristina” (The Cristina Show), the Univision network an- nounced Thursday. After more than 20 years of un- abashed frankness and inter- views with A-list Latino stars, Sa- ralegui’s widely watched after- noon talk show will have its final episode Nov. 1. “It is bittersweet to announce the end of what has been a very rewarding experience, but after many wonderful years, now is the perfect time to retire the show and move on to the next exciting phase of my career,” Saralegui said in a statement. The Miami-based show de- buted on Univision in April 1989 as a daily program, switching to a weekly format 12 years later. It’s now estimated to have
100million viewers worldwide — making it a tough gig to leave be- hind. The Cuban American version
of Oprah Winfrey, however, isn’t totally giving up her mike. She’ll continue to host specials on Uni- vision, which is the largest Span- ish-language television network in the United States.
“Cristina has been an inspira- tional and powerful force in the television industry throughout her career and her celebrated show has been one of the most

Cristina Saralegui will continue to host specials on Univision.
beloved and popular programs in Spanish-language television his- tory,” Cesar Conde, president of the Univision Networks, said in a statement. What began as a jobwriting for the Spanish version of Cosmopol- itan magazine morphed into the position of one of television’s most powerful commodities. Over her career, Saralegui launched Cristina: La Revista (Cristina: The Magazine) — which ended its 15-year run in 2005 — and has published several books. But the empire doesn’t end there.
She has also launched a furni- ture line; opened a production fa- cility in Miami to house all branches of her media kingdom; and hosts a daily radio program. In 1992, she attempted an Eng- lish-language talk show, “Cristi- na,” which was carried on CBS stations in major markets, but it was canceled after an 11-week run.

semester away from her degree, and pregnant. She went into deep denial for almost seven months. Finally, at 27 weeks, she came to me with her suspicion. There were no more options but to have this baby. From the beginning, she has
stated emphatically that she does not want to keep the baby. I am very sad and wish she would not do this, but I have committed myself to supporting her, period. Father is not involved, and she has very negative feelings about him. He will sign off his parental rights immediately. She and I have met her chosen adoptive parents, and they seem lovely. My daughter likes them a lot. Otherwise, she has chosen to go this alone. She has told none of her friends. She has made up excuses why she is not around and confined herself to my home.

grateful” to producer Lorne Mi- chaels and to “all the incredible people he worked with over the years.” Forte, 40, starred in and co- wrote the “SNL” spinoff film “MacGruber,” which was released in May and was a commercial flop.
The baby is due soon, and I do not feel like she has thoroughly examined this situation. She has detached. I don’t think she has ever thought that just maybe this is what her life was supposed to look like. I don’t want to add any stress, but I really want to ask her these very delicate questions. She just says she does not see herself as capable of being a mother yet and does not want this at all. Am I out of line?
Anonymous I can think of one argument
in favor of pressing her to reconsider: She probably has detached, and hasn’t thought that just maybe this is what her life was supposed to look like. Those 27 weeks of denying her own body make a persuasive case.
But here are the arguments NICK GALIFIANAKIS FOR THE WASHINGTON POST
against pressing her: 1. She’s 24, not 14. 2. You’ve clearly already pressed; otherwise, how would you know what “she just says”? 3. You have a raging conflict of interests. I’m confident you want to shield your daughter from regrets — but I’m positive you want to keep your grandchild close. 4. After a less-than-decisive
start, your daughter has talked to you, accepted her pregnancy, chosen adoption, apparently secured the father’s cooperation, chosen adoptive parents carefully, introduced them to you, decided not to involve her friends and executed that decision consistently. These aren’t the disjointed motions of a
sleepwalker. They’re the purposeful, responsible actions of someone who knows what she wants. These acts may bear no resemblance to what you’d do in her place. Her methods and motivations might even seem alien, especially if you’re one to gather and share information, solicit advice and support, talk through your options and ultimately tailor the logistics to meet your emotional needs. Still, we’re not all wired the same; “alien” doesn’t mean “wrong.” If it’s in your daughter’s nature to tailor her emotions to meet her logistical needs and to fly solo on big decisions, then she’s making the right choice in just the right way for her. It’s not your
place to say otherwise, your very real pain notwithstanding. Even if she is sleepwalking:
You’ve said your piece, so it’s time to let this play out. Should she come to regret her decision, she’ll need reminders that she did what made sense to her at the time — not that she failed to do as you hoped.
