Make way for more stars!

ABC has announced the second wave of presenters for the Emmy Awards. America Ferrera, Laurence Fishburne, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Hayden Panettiere, William Petersen and Vanessa Williams are the latest celebrities who will join in toasting television's finest at next month's ceremony.

"We are very pleased and honored to include these presenters to our already exciting list of talent for our telecast," Ken Ehrlich, executive producer, said. "As we reveal more presenters, the range of talent and personalities are sure to make the show a success."

The sextet join the already announced ladies of Desperate Housewives, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Hugh Laurie and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Fishburne and Petersen will present together. Fishburne has signed on to replace the departing Petersen on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation next season. What better place to pass the torch than at the Emmys?

The 60th Primetime Emmy Awards air Sept. 21 on ABC. — Joyce Eng

It's actually Laurence Fishburne, not Fisburne.

I'd like to see Kathy Griffin presenting...she IS an Emmy award winning actress after all, and is also nominated again this year. What a hoot that would be if she was up there giving one away, 'specially if the winner wasn't there - Kathy could SAY (wink) that she was accepting on behalf of whomever and abscond with the trophy!! ]<img border=">
