Anything can happen on NBC tonight! “30 Rock” goes live, which marks the second time that the sitcom tapes an all-live episode! No cuts, no edits, no “let’s take it from the top.” Tonight’s episode could potentially feature tons of slip-ups, surprise celebrity cameos, and I dunno, use of the BLEEEEEP button!

Tina Fey recently told Entertainment Weekly that tonight’s episode will feature a cameo or two from some “friends of comedy, some friends of ’30 Rock.’”

Also, anything that has “live” and “Tracy Morgan” in it at the same time, is bound to be a spectacle. In the teasers for the episode, Tracy thinks “live” means “no script.”
Twitter has been blowing up over #BigCHANGTheory, a movement to get viewers to watch ‘Community’ instead of ‘Big Bang Theory.’ (A little background if you haven’t seen ‘Community’: Chang is Ben Chang, played by Ken Jeong. He loves punning up his name).

But we say: calm down, sitcoms. You’re both funny. Hollyscoop talked to the stars from both hit TV shows, asking them why we should watch. And we’ve put together a few reasons to watch both ‘Community’ and the ‘Big Bang Theory.'

Community

What’s not to love about the Super Bowl? Even if you’re not into sports, there’s the Halftime show, which Madonna promises to be the “greatest show on Earth.” And if that’s still not enough to get you in the game, you can’t argue with the food. Seven layer dip, anyone?

Celebrities are looking forward to the battle between the Patriots and Giants, too, and we’ve found out who the stars are rooting for. Here are your Super Bowl 2012 celebrity picks.

Jenna Fischer: We asked The Office star if she was looking forward to the game and she admitted: “I don’t know who’s playing.” Jena then turned to her husband for help. “Who are we rooting for in the Super Bowl, honey?” After being filled in, Jenna told Hollyscoop.

If you’re a celebrity looking to revive your career, you basically have two options: leaking a sex tape or appearing on Dancing With The Stars. Most of the time, the latter is less embarrassing.

America seems to have a fascination with seeing how well our favorite celebs can hold their own on the dance floor. But not every celebrity is dying to get on the dance floor. Here are some celebs who turned down Dancing With The Stars.

Mark Zuckerberg: According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network approached the Facebook creator, but they were unable to secure him for the show.

The new season of Dancing with the Stars may seem like it's mostly reality show stars, but they originally went after a few really big names.

Sylvester Stallone was asked to be on the 11th season of the hit show, but decided it wasn’t for him.

Funny guy Joel McHale, entrepreneur Richard Branson, actor Tim Allen, former US Secretary Of State Condoleezza Rice, and actress Kirstie Alley were also asked to be on, but decided against it.

“We’ve approached a lot of people over the years. People say no for a variety of reasons. Some people like the show but think they suck at dancing. It’s a lot easier to say no than it is to say yes,” executive producer Conrad Green said. “Every season you move things forward.

“When we first started, there weren’t many reality shows, now there are a billion of them. Everyone interesting to watch has either had a reality show or been approached for one. Those are the people buzzed about, and they are the same people that will make our show compelling to watch.”

But don't worry Audrina Patridge, The Situation and the Hoff should be entertaining enough for you to tune in. What do you think of the new season cast?

The Emmys aren't the only ones on Team Coco--Talk Soup's Joel McHale is not only excited for Conan O'Brien's Emmy nomination, he's not the least bit surprised!

Joel talked to Hollyscoop at the Emmy Nominations Announcement this morning about his pal Conan's Emmy nod and why he thinks Conan will win.

Joel told Hollyscoop, "I didn’t think it was a surprise. I think it's one of those things where he’s been nominated so many times and has won so many awards that it's consistent with what he’s always done. Of course I think he can win. I thought it was great, I’m very happy for him."

The Emmys will air on NBC and Conan was on NBC, so will we see a funny moment “Soup” moment in the near future? "Well I guess if Ray J. shows up then definitely, yes," Joel joked.

So was Joel keeping his fingers crossed for an Emmy nomination for Community? "It's one of those things that where if you ever plan on it happening it's not going to happen," he said. "You can talk to my friends; I told them to not get ahead of ourselves."

Were you surprised that Conan was nominated over Jay Leno? Do you think his 8 month stint on The Tonight Show will get him that Emmy?

Joel McHale knows exactly how to make us laugh.

He did his own little video in response to Heidi's Overdosin' music video.

It may have just taken him longer to create this masterpiece than it did for Heidi to shoot and edit her entire thing.

America Ferrera and Blake Lively were out and about this past week promoting their new flick, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. They both were on Good Day LA when the conversation switched from the traveling pants to Gossip Girl.

Blake then started passionately talking about her hit TV show and what to expect this upcoming season. While Blake was talking America was just sitting around looking sorta bored and over it. At one point she even smiled and rolled her eyes.

Naturally the peeps over at The Soup caught that and used it in the show. Watch the clip of Joel Mchale poking fun at America. The clip is pretty funny!

Joel Mchale stopped by Conan last night, and talked about how he loves to make fun of his own network, which of course is E!

Probably one of the funniest things we've ever heard anyone say is his assessment of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians,' which Joel refers to as Gaggle of Gypsies and The Scarecrow. Watch the clip, if you feel like laughing your ass off.
