Tina Fey took home best actress in a comedy series and writing for a comedy series for 30 Rock on Sunday at the 60th Annual Emmy Awards.

“I’m very proud to be a writer. I wouldn’t have had any of the other jobs I’ve had if I hadn’t been a writer,” Fey gushed.

Fey and her pregnant Baby Mama costar Amy Poehler, took a shot at Eva Longoria before presenting Jeremy Piven with best supporting actor in a comedy series for his work on Entourage.

“When are you due?” Fey asked Poehler, to which Poehler responded, “that’s so rude, I just gained weight for a role.”

Longoria recently dismissed pregnancy speculation by saying that she had to gain weight for her role on Desperate Housewives.

In case you missed it, here is Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton.  Hilarious!

 

“30 Rock” seems to be getting a lot of big name celebrities to guest star on the show this season!

First, we told you that the lovely Jennifer Aniston shot her guest starring appearance for the show, and now we hear that Ms. Oprah Winfrey is in talks to appear on 30 Rock too.

According to a report by E! Online, Winfrey would play herself in an episode slated to air November 6. The TV mogul’s storyline would reportedly involve a feud between Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) and Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan).

If you recall, Jennifer Aniston, will appear in one episode as a “free-spirited, ‘Fatal Attraction’-like stalker” named Claire Harper, who is Liz Lemon’s (Tina Fey) former Chicago roommate, NBC announced. When Claire shows up in New York, she instantly attaches herself to Liz’s boss, Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin).

Both Oprah and Jen’s storylines sound funny!

“30 Rock,” currently nominated for 17 Emmys, returns to NBC on Oct. 30 at 9:30 p.m.

NBC has confirmed that Jennifer Aniston will guest star on an episode of 30 Rock.

Aniston will play a “free-spirited, Fatal Attraction-like stalker” NBC said in a statement.

Aniston’s character, Claire Harper, is Liz Lemon’s (Tina Fey) former roommate from Chicago who shows up in New York and latches on to Jack Donaghy played by Alec Baldwin.

“Jennifer is not only incredibly lovely to have around, she also has what the young people would call ‘mad skills.’ We’re very excited that she’s joining us,” show creator, executive producer and star Tina Fey said in the statement.

 

Funny couple Amy Poehler and Will Arnett are having a baby. The irony? Amy is currently seen with Tina Fey in “Baby Mama” which debuted at #1 this weekend.

The Saturday Night Live regular, 36, and her husband, Will Arnett, are to become first-time parents, their rep Lewis Kay confirms. The baby is due in late fall. The couple have been married since 2003.

Congrats!  They are going to have one funny kid.

After Britney Spears helped CBS’ How I Met Your Mother earn its highest ratings of all time, Tina Fey says she wouldn’t mind if the pop singer popped up on her NBC sitcom 30 Rock.

“We would love to work with Britney,” Fey, 37, told reporters yesterday in a conference call. “I’ve worked with her twice on Saturday Night Live and she was very professional and nice.”

Fey also has her eyes set on another A-lister: Oprah Winfrey.

“I want Oprah to play my best friend,” Fey said. “I want to spend time with Oprah, and I don’t know what I need to do to make it happen.”

30 Rock returns April 10 with new episodes following the writers’ strike.

Oprah might be backing Obama, but Hillary Clinton has stars like Tina Fey and Ellen DeGeneres pulling for her.

Today, on her show, Ellen joined Hillary Clinton via satellite on a campaign stop in Washington, D.C.. Watch it here.

If you didn’t catch Tina Fey returning to Saturday Night Live this past Saturday, then head on over to NBC.com and check out Tina showing her support for Hillary Clinton. “Bitch is the new black!”

That’s right!

You MUST watch! Brilliant!  Tina Fey is right on the money with her analysis of Hillary Clinton.

Yes, that’s right folks, Barack Obama has finally been chosen — and he’s Fred Armisen. The powers that be over at Saturday Night Live have finally ended their search; they’ve found their Obama impersonator in Fred, a current cast member who, for a white guy, looks a lot (really, a lot) like Barack.

For those of you who have no idea what we’re talking about and missed Fred’s brilliant debut as the candidate last night, well, you missed out. But don’t worry, we’re here to help. Guest host and SNL alum Tina Fey rocked it out during a hysterical spoof of the media’s love of Barack and urged everyone to vote for Hillary, an impeccable Amy Poehler, because “Bitch is the new black.” And how’d Fred do? Well, his impression of Obama was eerily, freakily, dead-on fantastic.

Here it is! Watch! (more…)
