Jeff Daniels Celebrates His Emmy Win By Filming Dumb & Dumber To With Jim Carrey!

Considering the talent Jeff Daniels was up against, we were pretty shocked to see him win the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role on The Newsroom! Jeff barely had any time to celebrate his upset victory though, as he had to be in Georgia THIS MORNING to get to work on Dumb & Dumber To! He told reporters that his plan was to party all night and then hop in his Shaggin' Wagon plane to jet off to Atlanta! And he's hoping that the booze and being at an altitude of 37,000 feet will help him get stupid enough to play his beloved part in the sequel flick! - See more at: http://perezhilton.com/2013-09-23-jeff-daniels-gets-to-work-on-dumb-and-dumber-sequel-with-jim-carrey-after-emmy-win#sthash.KVpRvP0m.dpuf

Manny Machado suffers major leg injury against Rays

Orioles third baseman Manny Machado suffered a major injury in his left leg after singling with one out in the top of the seventh inning against the Rays on Monday afternoon. The injury appeared to occur when Machado’s left foot hit the first-base bag, causing the lower part of his left leg to hang loose. Machado immediately fell to the ground and grabbed his knee. It will be a while before the doctors are able to diagnose him, but this is obviously a season-ending injury and probably would be even if the end of the year wasn’t just seven days away.

'How I Met Your Mother' recap: The Wildcard

We’re officially on the road to the end of How I Met Your Mother. And after tonight’s season premiere, I can say with more conviction than ever that I hope this is a journey that goes slower than a roadtrip with Lady Tedwina Slowsby. Because I’m not ready to say goodbye. Not yet. Luckily, there’s an entire season ahead of us, and, as you might have guessed when the show announced that the season would take place in the 55 hours leading up to Robin and Barney’s wedding, we’ll be making lots of small stops along the way.

Reggie Bush eyes Week 4 return

Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush said if Sunday's contest against the Washington Redskins had been a playoff game, he would have played instead of sitting out Bush had wanted to play, but Detroit coach Jim Schwartz and team doctors decided that he would be inactive with the knee injury he suffered last week against Arizona. "I feel good, man," Bush said after Sunday's 27-20 victory. "Honestly, I could have played today but it was coaches and doctors that decided it was best to sit this one out.

Downton Abbey, ITV, series 4, episode 1, review [VIDEO]

The opening episode of series four of ITV's Downton Abbey had laughs, tears and a towering performance from Michelle Dockery, says Serena Davies. A triumvirate of women made last night’s opening instalment of the fourth series of Downton Abbey (ITV) a glowing success. A great deal rested on this episode. The capacious hole rendered by the death of Matthew Crawley, handsome hero and heir to the estate, was one it wouldn’t be easy to fill. Julian Fellowes did well then to embrace his absence and instead of trying to distract us with too much below stairs frippery, placed Matthew’s grieving wife centre stage.

Spiller and defensive tackle Marcell Dareus have joined him on the sideline. Spiller’s return is being called questionable with a knee injury.

Browns roll to surprising comeback win vs. Vikings behind Brian Hoyer, special teams

Trent Richardson may have scored the first time he touched the ball for the Indianapolis Colts, but the Cleveland Browns didn’t seem to miss him too much. For those of you (OK, those of us) who assumed that the Browns were tanking the 2013 season after trading Richardson to the Colts, we give you a very wild game in which Cleveland took a 24-17 lead over the Minnesota Vikings at the half and came back to win, 31-27. First, there was the play of quarterback Brian Hoyer, who replaced the injured Brandon Weeden for this game and now has a legitimate shot at keeping the starting spot.
