Here is the version for Emacs 22, which you seem (?) to be using.

(defun my-diary-insert-entry (arg)
  "See `insert-diary-entry'."
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((calendar-date-display-form
         '((if dayname
               (concat dayname " "))
           monthname " " day ", " year)))
    (make-diary-entry (calendar-date-string (calendar-cursor-to-date t) t)
                    arg)))
