30 Rock's New Guy Wants to See Alec Baldwin Naked
Alec Baldwin may have admitted to my pals over at Entertainment Weekly that he used an "ass double" for a naked scene in It's Complicated, his upcoming flick with Meryl Streep, but he should know there are people out there who would like to see the real thing.
Like 30 Rock's new hunkster Cheyenne Jackson.
"I'd look at that," Jackson, a Broadway musical star who makes his debut on the NBC comedy tonight as TGS' new castmember Danny Blake, tells me. "Alec Baldwin is incredibly sexy. He's an alpha male."
That doesn't mean the openly gay Jackson wants Baldwin in a biblical sense…
Maybe Alec Baldwin Should Host the Oscars
Yesterday I gave ya some of the many funny highlights of Alec Baldwin's hosting debut on Monday from Elle Magazine's Women in Hollywood event.
Well, I realized later on that there was even more. So here it is. I promise you that his timing and delivery were laugh-out-loud perfect.
Baldwin griped that many great female movie characters don't get the same play and longevity as male ones do...
Alec Baldwin to Tom Cruise: Cut Your Pay!
Alec Baldwin thinks there's an easy way to correct the disproportionate salaries between men and in women in Hollywood—cut Tom Cruise's paycheck!
"I believe we can balance the scales if Tom Cruise would lower his quote by a mere $29 million," Baldwin cracked last night during his laugh-filled hosting debut of Elle magazine's annual Women in Hollywood dinner and awards show.
"I realize this may be a bit unfair since he's not here to defend himself and I really don't want to put this all on one man, but if I had to, that man would be Tom Cruise…I assure you my salary would not make a difference. My annual salary is the budget for Altoids on one of Tom's movies."
We're happy to report that Cruise's wife and one of the night's honorees, Katie Holmes, did laugh along with the rest of the audience.
Baldwin also opined about the state of women's physiques in Hollywood…
Barack Obama Wanted for 30 Rock!
Alec Baldwin may want Michelle Obama to guest star on 30 Rock, but costar Jane Krakowski is aiming just a wee bit higher.
"I keep saying we've just got to get [Barack] Obama," Krakowski, who plays Jenna on the hit show, tells me. "We've had Steve Martin. We've had Oprah. We've had Jerry Seinfeld. We've had all these great musical greats. Let's just go for the big guns now."
Krakowski is thinking Jay Leno could help them land the president. "I always say, 'He was on The Tonight Show, so he's part of the NBC family,' " she laughs. "He might want to just come by."
And talk about coming by. Tonight's 30 Rock finale has quite an impressive lineup...
