No Emmys? Snubbed stars will still rock on

Hugh Laurie ("House") and James Denton ("Desperate Housewives") will not be onstage accepting any Emmys on Sunday.

I know, I know. Don't get me started on the whole stupid nominations voting debaucle again.

But that won't stop these actors from hopping onstage at TV Guide's Emmy bash later that night.

Both guys actually play in a band called Battle of the Network Stars that includes founder Greg Grunberg ("Alias", "Heroes") Michael "Fish" Herring, Bob Guiney (ABC's "The View"), Bonnie Somerville ("NYPD Blue"), along with real professional musicians Barry Sarna, Brad Savage, Chris Kelly, and Rich Winer.

Word is that other "surprise celebrity guests are expected to take to the stage" with BNS. Nothing like a little celebrity Karoake to spice up a party.

I'm betting on Felicity Huffman (who's been known to cut loose at a few parties) and a few other Housewives to join their plumber pal Jamie. Alfre Woodard, perhaps?

Maybe even a few "Alias" alums, like Jennifer Garner and Victor Garber? How about "House" co-stars Lisa Edelstein, Jennifer Morrison or Jesse Spencer?

The BNS act won't go on until after Pink has gotten the TV Guide party started at Social Hollywood, the site of the first Emmys in 1949.

By then, everyone there should be ready for just about anything.
