Ronnie Lauder gets Emmy

My good friend and flame haired temptress, Romana Tomasová , who calls herself the Director of Corporate Communications at CETV these days ( the little minx) tells me that last night Richard Parsons, Chairman & CEO of Time Warner Inc., gave Ronnie Lauder the 2006 International Emmy Directorate Award to CETV and Ronnie for "pioneering the development of independent television broadcasting in Central and Eastern Europe " at the glitzy 34th International Emmy Awards in New York.

Obviously slightly excited after the events of last night, she couldn't tell me much more (... Katie Couric and Christiane Amanpour were there !). Neither could her chum Nick Pramik , although she did agree with me that the gold bauble will set off the bosses new Klimt rather well in the boardroom !

Last night she may have been tight, but this am she was distinctly tight lipped ,when asked about any interest Goldman Sachs, Ronnie, or CETV may have in the auction of ITV... whose shares remain unmoved at 114p today. (CETV:NASDAQ closed at all time high of US$75 last night.)

Oh ! ... she did say Ronnie was thrilled that Maryam Hassouni (30) won Best Actress for her stunning role as a Palestinian terrorist Laila al Gatawi in TV movie "Offers" from the Dutch Vara Broadcasting Organisation - see pic.... described as, "straight run-of-the-mill spy/thriller story with Muslim terrorists as the usual suspects/bad guys".... she gets killed.
