Hollywood gossip

This is what I like to hear… “30 Rock” will air a live episode on October 14, according to NBC. “Tina Fey is up for it, coming from Saturday Night Live,” NBC President of Primetime Entertainment, Angela Bromsted, said at the Television Critics Association today.

Bromstead commented, “We’re doing as much as we can to garner attention for this show so it can stay true to them creatively. I think it’s a great idea.”

A live 30 Rock is definitely a ratings gimmick, but sounds like comic gold waiting to happen.

More Glee casting news! Cheyenne Jackson, fresh off a guest starring gig on 30 Rock, has landed a pretty little part over on Glee.

Cheyenne Jackson will play the new Vocal Adrenaline coach, since Rachel’s mom (played by Idina Menzel) left the rival singing group coaching job behind.

Idina Menzel fans can be assured that she will be returning to Glee as well. Phew!

What do you think about all the recent Glee casting news? Are you a Cheyenne fan?

James Franco is getting around the small screen these days – first General Hospital, and now 30 Rock!

James Franco will guest star on 30 rock – as himself, playing a love interest for Jane Krakowski’s Jenna.

Tina Fey explains James Franco’s guest starring gig, saying, “[Jenna gets] into a high-profile relationship with a movie star that is arranged by their agents.”

This morning, the Emmy nominations for 2009 were announced – check out the Emmy Awards nominees list… and tune in September 20 for the Emmy Award cermony, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris.
