MANHATTAN — Actor Kelsey Grammer flashed a gloating smile as he received a kiss on the cheek from his wife, a former Playboy model, at the premiere of his new Broadway play.

"La Cage Aux Folles," which stars Grammer as a nightclub owner in Saint-Tropez, France, opened Sunday at The Longacre Theatre.

Grammer's "Fraiser" co-star, David Hyde Pierce, attended the premiere, along with director John Cameron Mitchell, actor Jason Biggs and "Counting Crows" singer Adam Duritz, who still wears his dreadlocks from the 1990s.

Blocks away, at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square, local celebrities gathered for the 2010 New York Emmy Awards.

"Law & Order" star, Richard Belzer, who was accused of attacking an employee at the Upper West Side Apple Store in March, attended the event in signature black ensemble, while "America's Next Top Model" judge, Nigel Barker proved that he was the same height as sex psychologist, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, standing on his knees.

The event also honored Les Paul, the late guitar great and Manhattan music legend.

At the Roseland Ballroom, the Jonas Brothers continued to break hearts, even as they raised money for people with terminal illnesses.

Kevin, Nick and Joe Jonas headlined the 11th Annual T.J. Martell Foundation Family Day, a carnival-themed concert to benefit cancer and AIDS research.
