We all know by now that the incomparable Neil Patrick Harris was (finally) officially named as the host for 61st annual Emmy Awards Show, but even more interesting is that Bravo reality star (and actual Emmy winner) Kathy Griffin is now slated to host the somewhat less prestigious Schmemmy Awards.

Griffin will host the Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards on September 12, a show she has often called as "The Schmemmys." The Schmemmys take place a week before the "real" Emmys, and are not aired live (an edited version of the show will air later in September on E!). Griffin has a controversial history with Emmy broadcasts, so that makes this an interesting, and potentially exciting, choice.

The Bachelorette (8pm, ABC) - Jillian has finally shaken off the Texas Slimeball (who by the way, is now whining that he is misunderstood and was misrepresented by ABC blah blah blah), and travels with Ed, Reid, and Kiptyn to Hawaii. Jillian smooches with Ed on a yacht off the coast of Maui, left.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent (9pm, NBC) - This is a new episode -- if you haven't already seen it on USA. Lynn Redgrave stars as the wealthy aunt of a baby abducted from its room during a hotel robbery.

Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List (10pm, Bravo) - Being on the D-list must pay pretty well, because tonight Kathy heads to Miami to look at buying on second home on the luxurious Star Island. Kathy hangs out with Rosie O'Donnell and Gloria Estefan. (Please, if you didn't catch last week's episode, where Kathy's mother Maggie gets to make her Bucket List, watch it tonight at 9pm right before the new ep. I think it's one of the single best episodes of a reality TV show, ever). 

Big Brother 11 (8pm, CBS) - The 11th season premiere of "Big Brother" will introduce us to the 12 contestants, including a 22-year-old woman from Matthews, N.C. Jordan Lloyd doesn't seem nearly sneaky or conniving enough to get very far here, but we'll be pulling for her.

Samantha Who? (8pm, ABC) - More new episodes from this cancelled-too-soon sitcom. Samantha is  hired to lead Winston Funk's charitable foundation and hires Andrea as her legal counsel. Which is a bad move since all Andrea does is work on her wedding plans to the gay basketball star. In a second episode airing at 8:30, Sam and Todd go on a "first date" and Andrea goes on a reality tv show about celebrity weddings. 

The Real Housewives of New Jersey: The Lost Footage (9pm, Bravo) - That's pretty self-explanatory. Expect more footage of The Crazy One (right) complaining about how she has been victimized by The Blonde One (not pictured).

Also, new episodes of Burn Notice (9pm) and Royal Pains (10pm) on USA.

Wipeout (8pm, ABC) - This week on "Wipeout," large muddy people bounce off of giant muddy balls into huge muddy lakes.

Top Chef Masters (10pm, Bravo) - The next group of master chefs (Anita Lo, Douglas Rodriguez, John Besh, Mark Peel) must impress celebrity judge Neil Patrick Harris. 

E! True Hollywood Story (10pm, E!) - A new episode centers on the trials and tribulations of wives of professional baseball players. Hello, Is that you, Mrs. A-Rod? (See also, Hip-Hop Wives at 8pm and Rapper Wives at 9pm).

Bachelorette (8pm, ABC) - Jillian (left) takes the final four dudes to Spain. According to previews, one man has "performance anxiety" issues, and Wes makes a verbal slip when referring to his girlfriend. Uh, we mean ex-girlfriend.

The Closer (9pm, TNT) - While Brenda investigates the murder of a young gang member, she has to try to convince the community that her department cares about crime in poor neighborhoods. It sounds like that irritating LA Times reporter will be in this episode.

Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List (10pm, Bravo) - Kathy encourages her mom to make a Bucket List, and then strikes off on Maggie's dream vacation of visiting the California wine country, where she meets heroes Don Rickles and Betty White. Last week's episode where Kathy hired her 88-year-old mother to run her "Faceplace" page was classic. Her mom posted updates about wine sales at Trader Joe's and made a couple of videos in which she appeared to be intoxicated. Kathy fired her. There are a some clips online at Bravo.

We never get to see Dina's husband Tommy Manzo on "Real Housewives of New Jersey," but he's front and center in the first Manzo reality show, "My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding."

The  Manzo family owns and operates The Brownstone, a banquet/wedding facility in New Jersey. Dina and Tommy's wedding was featured on VH1's wedding reality show in 2007. They had over 600 guests and spent more than 1 million dollars.

Dina looks exactly the same, but Caroline is a little thinner. You can watch the entire episode below.

Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion, Part 2 (9pm, Bravo) - From the previews, it looks like things get more heated tonight. We're curious to see if Danielle (left) keeps playing the victim even as more details about her 1980s involvement in drug dealing, kidnapping, and extortion schemes and a recent alleged sex tape come to light. Tuesday night's Part 1 had ditzy Teresa calling Bravo host (and network VP) Andy Cohen "stupid" to his face, and we found out that meek little Jacquelyn once slapped Manzo family matriarch Caroline in the face. And lived to tell about it.

Burn Notice (9pm, USA) - Michael infiltrates a gang to take down a criminal, and ends up befriending one of the gang members. Sam deals with an IRS agent who has a curious link to his past.

Raising Sextuplets (10pm, WE) - It's like Jon & Kate minus the marriage drama. Tonight, Jenny the Mom opts for plastic surgery to correct damage to her body from carrying six babies at one time, but not everyone in the family agrees with her decision (I say all those who carried six babies at one time get to vote on what Jenny does with her own body).

The Superstars (8pm, ABC) - Think "Battle of the Network Stars" except honestly, I did not recognize the name of a single "star" on the list (Julio Iglesias Jr doesn't count). Maybe when we see them, we'll recognize their faces. The stars are paired with athletes (I did recognize Terrell Owens, left, and Jennifer Capriati and Bode Miller) to compete in challenges. Tonight is a bike race and a kayak relay. One team is eliminated.

Better off Ted (9:30pm, ABC) - A new episode! Ted tries to befriend his employees so he attends Lem and Phil's medieval fight club in the company's basement.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion (9pm, Bravo) - The women come together in a reunion show that promises to be volatile. Maybe not as volatile as the finale where Teresa threw a table at Danielle, but it sure as heck won't be polite.

NYC Prep (10pm, Bravo) - This new reality show from Bravo is like Real Housewives (which we love) but with spoiled rich brats from NY's Upper East Side. Can't get behind this one, but then I don't get "The Hills" either. If you like Speidi, this could be for you.

Jon & Kate Plus Eight (9pm, TLC) - A special one-hour episode in which TLC says Jon and Kate will make a special announcement that impacts their entire family. Gee, I wonder what that could be about...

The Closer (9pm, TNT) - Gabriel's in big trouble after he guns down a suspect and his version of events doesn't jibe with the evidence. Mary McDonnell guest stars as the special investigator looking into the shooting and getting in Brenda's way.

Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List (10pm, Bravo) - Kathy attends the Grammys and then takes her crew to Georgia to visit Paula Deen and get some down home cooking lessons.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey (9pm, Bravo) - In an episode titled "The Last Supper," Bravo treats us to more footage from that smackdown finale dinner party. If you listen closely, you can actually hear the "snap" inside Teresa's head when Danielle tells her to "pay attention." Show includes commentary from the housewives and their families (does this mean no reunion show?!?).

Burn Notice (9pm, USA) - An arms dealer with a grudge against Michael kidnaps Nate and forces Michael to participate in a heist. 

The Listener (10pm, NBC) - Toby becomes a murder suspect after he leaves a nightclub with a woman and she turns up dead.
