CBS and PBS led the nominations for the 34th annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards. CBS received 46 noms, including 24 nominations for its long-running newsmagazine 60 Minutes. PBS was a close second with 45 noms, including 18 nominations for Frontline. In addition, David Fanning, founder and executive producer of Frontline, will receive this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

NBC is parting ways with Betty White. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network has canceled Off Their Rockers. The series, which was hosted by White and ran for two seasons, featured seniors punking younger folks while hidden cameras captured it all. The show debuted in April 2012.

Darren Star is headed back to prime time. The Sex and the City alum will direct and executive produce the Lifetime pilot HG, starring Alicia Silverstone. The show centers on Ellen Bell (Silverstone), the director of human resources for a global company who throws standard corporate practices out the window.

Everyone’s last chance for style advice from Stacy London and Clinton Kelly is inching closer. TLC‘s longest running primetime series What Not to Wear, which is coming to an end this season, begins airing its final episodes on Friday, August 9 at 10p. The show’s last season includes some of the biggest wardrobe challenges to-date, including a mother of nine who gets a $10,000 makeover (vs. the usual $5,000), a woman who gets a surprise visit from London and Kelly while sitting in the audience of The Chew, and a behind-the-scenes episode where viewers will get a look at what it takes to produce each episode of the show. What Not to Wear is produced by BBC Worldwide Productions for TLC.

Pivot, the upcoming network from Participant Media, has announced its first original scripted series, Please Like Me. Loosely based on the life of Australian comedian Josh Thomas, the series was created and written by Thomas. It will debut on the network’s Thursday, August 1 launch date at 8p.
