LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The Emmy Awards will be singing a different tune at this month's ceremony, and it could be a classic.
In an "American Idol"-style competition, stars and singers ranging from William Shatner to Donald Trump to Frederica von Stade will perform themes from TV series, with viewers able to pick their favorite song via online or text-message voting.
Kristen Bell ("Veronica Mars") will be the only solo performer, with her version of the "Fame" theme, while others will sing duets.
The dynamic duos announced by CBS and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for the contest tagged "Emmy Idol":
* William Shatner ("Boston Legal") and opera's von Stade with the theme from Shatner's 1960s series "Star Trek."
* Megan Mullally ("Will & Grace") and Trump ("The Apprentice") with the "Green Acres" tune.
* Gary Dourdan (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation") and R&B artist Macy Gray with "Movin' On Up" from "The Jeffersons."
