30 Rock's New Guy Wants to See Alec Baldwin Naked
Ali Goldstein/NBC
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…

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and his then fiancé Karina Smirnoff made their Broadway debut last summer in Burn the Floor.
But Chmerkovskiy says producers have only asked him to return, which he'll do right after Thanksgiving.
The hunky hoofer says there's no way he would have gone back if Smirnoff was part of the deal. The two called off their engagement just days before they danced together on the Emmys in September.
"I wouldn't do it if she was asked back," Chmerkovskiy told us last night at the Sony Cierge event at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Instead, another one of DWTS' pros will be joining him...
Jude Law and Sienna Miller Reunited?!

Times Square may not be the most romantic place on earth, but the apex of New York City is ripe for reunions.
When it was announced that Sienna Miller and Jude Law would be taking the title roles of After Miss Julie and Hamlet on Broadway at the same time, gossip lovers (and haters) gasped. Who can forget all the drama the exes caused during their tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship from 2004 to 2006?
Well, as should come as no surprise to anyone, rumors have begun that the blond beauty is over Balty, the baby-daddy is over babies and the two of them have become romantically entangled yet again.
"Sienna and Jude have met up a few times and got on really well," a source tells the U.K.'s OK! magazine, which even says a spokesperson confirmed the face time to them.
Hmmm...

Rosie O'Donnell isn't the only one this morning whose love is on the rocks.
Sources confirm that T.R. Knight and his boyfriend of about two years, Mark Cornelsen, have called it quits.
"It's amicable," one source says of the breakup, which was first reported by In Touch. "It was just a normal breakup. It just ran its course."
When exactly things fell apart is unclear because…

T.R. Knight Has a Very Good Reason Why He's Not Watching Grey's Anatomy

T.R. Knight hasn't really been keeping up with Grey's Anatomy.
And it has nothing to do with not being on the show anymore or even the not-so-nice ending he had with Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes.
"Right now I'm working on a house so the TV is in a box, so unfortunately I don't know a lot of what's going on right now," Knight told us yesterday at L.A.'s Mark Taper Forum theater, where he's starring in the musical Parade (opening on Sunday, Oct. 4). "I have to catch up."
He did, however, manage to catch the season premiere. What did he think? Keep reading to find out…

What Lautner and Swift Did for Valentine's Day
Fame Pictures
Valentine's Day will be that much sweeter with a song from Taylor Swift, don't ya think?
The singer, who plays opposite Taylor Lautner in the upcoming ensemble romantic comedy from director Garry Marshall, will likely be writing and performing a tune for the flick.
"We hope she does," Marshall told me yesterday at Variety's inaugural Power of Women luncheon in Beverly Hills. "But when people write songs, they always want to see the movie.
"[Taylor] wants to see the part that she's in," he added. "I just finished, so I need to edit for a second."
Marshall had hoped that Lautner and Swift would have bigger roles in the movie. Sadly, their busy schedules didn't allow for it.
"She writes songs and sings and he does the vampire thing," Marshall said. "But I discovered Taylor Lautner ran track back in Minnesota. That's why I have him jumping hurdles in the movie. She likes to dance and he likes to jump a hurdle, so we made up the scene for them."
Valentine's Day also reunites Marshall with Julia Roberts. He was quick to shoot down the never-ending rumor that there will be a sequel to their hit Pretty Woman.
However, Marshall did reveal that he's considering another Pretty Woman project. Read on for the scoop...

Just when we thought we were Gilles Marini's No. 1 fan, along comes...Sally Field!
The 62-year-old acting legend is smitten with the Sex and the City and Dancing With the Stars hunkster, 33, after working with him recently on Brothers & Sisters (he's guesting as a love interest to Sarah Walker, played by Rachel Griffiths).

Renée Wearing Fat Suit for Bridget Jones 3 and Other Girlie Things Gone Bad

Some things are simply too good to mess with.
Like, cookies 'n' cream ice cream (no need for chocolate sauce) or Ryan Reynolds (no need for a shirt). Or Renée Zellweger as Bridget Jones.
While the actress is confirmed to take on the part for a third time, word is that she won't be packing on the pounds to embody the character from head to toe with a little jiggle in between.
Which is why this report is so disturbing. It would take Harry Potter-level CGI to even come close to making the waify actress look fleshy.
"Renee will be wearing a fat suit in the third film as it took her a while to lose the weight last time," a source tells Britain's Reveal magazine. "She's also thinking about the effect quickly putting on and then losing 30 pounds has on her body."
Terrifying. Would the films have been as awesome had she done this for the first two? We doubt it.

Dancing With the Stars' real-life sweethearts Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are waltzing their way into the Emmys.
A source exclusively reveals that the husband-and-wife-to-be (they got engaged on New Year's Eve) will be performing during the big awards show Sept. 20.
I know exactly what they'll be doing, but I think I'm gonna hold off on telling ya too much so you can be surprised. I promise, however, it's going to be fun.
The two have already shown us what kind of fancy footwork they could get themselves into...

Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel have landed a new role: parents.
The original Renters, who've both moved on to Private Practice, welcomed their first child together and named him Walker Nathaniel Diggs.
"Baby Walker is very healthy and Mom is doing well," a friend of the couple tells E! News.
The pair met in 1995 while starring in the Tony-winning Broadway show and married seven years later on Jan. 11, 2003.

Jeremy Piven Appears Fully Recovered From "Rich Man's Disease"
Jeremy Piven is now healthy enough to laugh about his recent exposure to the elements. And to share his side of the story, having been exonerated in theater court.
"I think everyone loves a good fish story," he quipped as he discussed the mercury poisoning that almost took him out of the game last year and left his producers thinking Piven had wimped out on them.
When asked by David Letterman about the ailment that forced the Emmy winner to quit the Broadway revival of David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow in December, Piven joked that mercury poisoning sounded more like "a rich man's disease...like something you might get from the leather seats in your Lamborghini, like a rash—like a rash that hurts."
Alas, he just got it from eschewing red meat and dairy and loading up on fish for the last 20 years.
