Back in 2003, Jay-Z’s Grammy winning single and perennial show-closer “Encore” contained some forward looking statements: “Grand opening, grand closing…your man Hov cracked the can open again,” which follows opening line “Cookin' raw with the Brooklyn Boy.”

Friday night, the “Brooklyn Boy” grandly opened the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, nearly 9 years after his iconic farewell “retirement” concert on the other side of the east river at sold-out Madison Square Garden.

Even though Emmy host Jimmy Kimmel is having a pop-the-cork year -- a move to 11:30 p.m. time slot for his show, a wedding engagement, and his gig hosting Sunday’s primetime Emmys, he gets nervous  when things are going so well.

“You know, I have to say, everyone says, ‘This is a great year, this is a big year,’” Kimmel told TheWrap  earlier this week. “This year is one of the biggest pains in the ass of my life.”

Fox, Modern Family, Neil Patrick Harris, Red Carpet Parties, SNL

At 3 hours and 35 minutes, Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmys lasted 3.5 times longer than “How to be a Gentleman” stayed on CBS last fall.

It will only be two hours when it airs next Saturday, September 22 at 8:00 P.M. on Reelz Channel, but here’s some of the highlights and stolen moments you won’t be seeing on TV.

3 P.M.

It’s a record-breaking 103 degrees on the red carpet outside the Nokia Theatre and the body count is one, as in one person has already fainted and there is still an hour to go before the show. Lisa Kudrow (first presenter) and Padma Lakshmi tower over the carpet.

TV is such a bountiful medium that it needs two weekends and two shows to dole out all the trophies. Starting with this Saturday afternoon's multi-hour Creative Arts Emmys, the TV community emulates the medium's current kingpin, Ryan Seacrest, and shifts into hyperdrive for eight days.

Forget apples and honey. Many looking for a "sweet" start to a new year will trade Rosh Hashanah on Sunday night for the upmarket kick-off soiree at Cecconi's with Audi and Derek Lam. Here's the inside scoop on the rest of the best places to "do" Emmys week.

Jackson, Matt Damon, Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel, Seth Rogen, Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, Sofia Vergara and Jeremy Renner, made appearances in the hourlong, commercial-free event that was aired on the big four television networks and HBO.

Snooki’s guido baby? The fab five Olympic Gymnasts? Kim and Kanye filling the oddball kissing slot? Moonman statutes in the likeness of Neil Armstrong?

While any of these viral-enabled visuals would "Eastwood" across the twittersphere Thursday night when MTV’s Video Music Awards takes over the Staples Center for the first time, the afternoon timing of the live show leaves plenty of time for anything to happen at a buffet of after parties.  

For the first time since 2001, when 'N Sync performed with Michael Jackson at the Met in New York about 100 hours before the Sept.11 attacks, the show returns to its historical post-Labor Day Thursday slot. With a Sunday show seven...
