Lucky lady Tina Fey got a kiss on the cheek from Jon Hamm yesterday as they filmed 30 Rock in NYC. Jon is guest starring on the show for a few episodes and we'll be seeing his comedic side as Liz Lemon's love interest. It'll be a treat to see the two Golden Globe winners together on the small screen, especially since it looks like we'll have to wait until the Summer for Mad Men to return.
Kate Moss was all dolled up on Thursday night to kick off her 35th birthday weekend with dinner at London's China Tang. She recently threw Jamie a lavish party in honor of his 40th at her country home in the Cotswolds, and she's planning something similarly large for herself — though it looks like it's starting at her house in London instead of off in Paris. It'll be hard to top last year's 4-event non-stop party, but since Kate's never one to take it easy when it comes to her big day it will be interesting to see what she has planned for the milestone.
Amy Poehler's husband made us laugh earlier this week, but today it was her turn to show off her new TV show. Once called the The Office spinoff, it's now going to be focused on the minutia of local politics — check out lots of details about the show on Buzz. Aziz Ansari, Rashida Jones, and Amy Poehler kept the crowd laughing, which makes me very excited for the show which will premiere April 9, presumably with a title of some kind. Here were some highlights from Amy's hilarious quotes:
On her husband and son's dual Canadian/American citizenship: My husband likes to throw his passports on the bed and pretend he’s Jason Bourne. He frantically packs a bag and rifles through his two passports. I’m hoping my son can do the same thing. Worst Bourne movie ever.
On her reaction to SNL's song to her when she had her baby: Uncontrollable sobbing. I watched it in my hospital bed with my son. He was conveniently born at 6 p.m so I watched it live at 11:30.
On men being more successful than women post-SNL: I think that’s probably changing. I think Lorne Michaels has done more for women in comedy than anyone I know. I’d like to think I’ll be part of making that an old story.
On her character, a local politician being "normal": I am a spy though and I can time travel, and I’m wearing someone else’s face.
Love it already, maybe her friend Tina Fey will have a little competition next award season.
Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault grabbed a late night dinner at Bouley in NYC yesterday. Earlier in the evening Salma stopped by the National Board of Review Awards as the next stop on her award season circuit. While we wouldn't mind getting a few details about Salma's relationship status with her maybe fiance, for now we'll settle for watching her relationship with Alec Baldwin on 30 Rock tonight. Good news for fans of the show — it was just announced at the TCAs that it's been renewed, yay.
Will Smith and the promotional train for Seven Pounds kept on chugging at the London premiere last night before he stopped by a studio today. With such a large group of excited fans and his name in huge lights, it's no wonder Will looked happy as can be on stage. As he continues to flash his grin around the world, his son's rumored Karate Kid remake is getting more buzz now that Jackie Chan has supposedly signed on in Mr. Miyagi's role. There's already been a bit of friendly competition in the Smith household, but it might be a few more years before Jaden is touring the world like his dad.
Singer and actress Selena Gomez posed for pictures at the 2009 American Music Awards with a pretty pink smile on her face. She took advantage of the occasion and went glam; wearing a Talbot Runhof sequin dress with black strappy heels.
