KEY POINTS:
Actress Lisa Rinna has signed a deal to serve as TV Guide Channel's leading red carpet host, a move that spells the end of Joan and Melissa Rivers' reign of terror at the network. Rinna will make her debut as red carpet host at the Emmy Awards on September 16.
Rinna, a veteran of Melrose Place and Days of Our Lives, saw her career reinvigorated by a long run on the US Dancing with the Stars.
