In the setup, conservative NBC boss Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) broke the bad news to Liz (Tina Fey) that to reduce costs they’d have to stop filming her show “TGS” live every week and tape it instead.
“From now on,” he instructed, “you write and shoot the season in two weeks, like ‘Wheel of Fortune’ and Fox News.”

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.”

Tina Fey: Tina Fey remembers a time when her date almost died. “One time a guy invited me to go mountain climbing on a date, and he fell off the mountain. He was showing off, and he just fell.” Yeah, I’d say any date that ends in the emergency room, or on the side of a cliff, would be a very bad date.
Daniel Radcliffe: After claiming that he “hates” dating, Daniel Radcliffe says he gets to second base on a first date, except it was on accident. Somehow he thinks this is a bad date? Talking about his first date with his current girlfriend, “I didn't know what was appropriate, like on which date you're supposed to try and kiss her.

That being said. There are some excellent celebrity books, like Tina Fey’s “Bossy Pants” and Alicia Silverstone’s “The Kind Diet” and then there are other celeb books that aren’t so great, like “Elixir” by Hilary Duff, but are somehow incredibly popular.
So here they are, the most successful celebrity “authors” ever. I put that in air quotes, because c’mon, nobody wants to be know as an “author” when you can be labeled a “celebrity.”
Lauren Conrad: Conrad is such a successful author she has 4 books! That’s four more than Audrina Patridge has got. Lauren wrote a trilogy of books called the “LA Candy” series, which follows the life of Jane Roberts who moves to LA for a fashion internship and ends up starring on a reality show! Gasp, this is NOTHING like the “The Hills.”

At first glance, some thought it was proof that Kate Middleton had started wearing hair extensions. However, that scar was not a track in her weave but rather "a scar from a childhood operation" as confirmed by a Palace spokesperson to People.
The palace sources would not elaborate on the details for privacy reasons.
But Kate Middleton isn't the only pretty face with an unsightly scar.
Prince William: When he was 13 he was left with a scar on his forehead after an accident with a golf club. In an interview in 2009, William said...

Both Eva and Tina raked in $13 million between May 2010 and 2011. That's $3 million more than the third runner up, Marcia Cross. This is all according to Forbes magazine. Gotta love how Forbes lets us know how much we're paying our celebs.
So yes, another Desparate Housewives star was next on the list. Marcia Cross made $10 million, along with Law & Order: Special Victims Unit actress Mariska Hargitay and CSI's Marg Helgenberger, who all made $10 million each. People love their crime shows.

Tina Fey on breast pumps: “Yeah, the thing's upsetting. I would try to pump milk while watching Entourage on demand. And that was the worst possible way to do it. Like, I had the pump on, and I'd hear Turtle on TV: Yo, E, you ever fuck a girl when she has her period? I just sat there thinking: Oooh, this is not how this is meant to be.”
...on whether or not she thinks Liz Lemon is ugly:
“It's never that she's ugly—I mean, she is sometimes slovenly. But for me, it's always been kind of the opposite of what people have said about her. It's about how other men see her, and has nothing to do with how she really is. When Jack is like, "Ugh, you're a mess," it's because of what his brain wants a woman to be. It has nothing to do with the physical symmetry of her size or anything. So no, she's not ugly. She's kind of sloppy. But all the clothes that Liz Lemon wears are much nicer than what I would wear on a writing-hiatus week.”

She admits she's worried she's going to wake up one morning and realize that the industry is done with her and her career is over. Paranoid Patty on line one.
“You cannot count on showbusiness to be interested in you forever and ever,” Tina said.
“I have a friend, a veteran agent in Los Angeles. She says, ‘He’s cold. He’s cold,’ about some actor or other. And it’s over for them. That could happen to me.”
But despite her constant fear of being 'over' as an actress/comedian, Tina loved how horrible acting was in the beginning.
“Yes, there was bad pay, there were tough gigs and there were cr*ppy hotel rooms with bits of blood on the toilet seat,” she said. “But at the time it was always the greatest thing ever. I was just excited to be in showbusiness.”
Maybe the crazy dreams are due to her hormones. Tina is expecting baby #2 with her
