The British Comedy Awards took place on Saturday night, with Angus Deayton taking the place of usual (
suspended) host Jonathan Ross. Russell Brand won the award for Best Live Stand-Up act and
dedicated his award to Jonathan in a video acceptance speech alongside Adam Sandler. Russell managed to not be the most controversial headline grabber of the evening — that debatable honour went to Alan Carr, who dedicated his Best Comedy Entertainment Personality award
to Shannon Matthews' kidnapper mother Karen, but has since apologised.
What's more awkward than going to your high school reunion? Going to your high school reunion with your boss. That's what happens on tonight's
30 Rock, when Jack persuades Liz to go to her reunion — and then tags along for the ride.

Salma Hayek and Alec Baldwin filmed yet another scene on location for
30 Rock in NYC yesterday. Unfortunately, it wasn't smooth sailing for the show this week — on Wednesday shooting was canceled when a
car crashed into the set, grazing a few actors and narrowly missing a young boy. Recently Alec Baldwin had a lot of
positive things to say about Jennifer Aniston's appearance on the show, but he also called Salma the "most fabulous" guest star ever.
Sarah Jessica Parker had Matthew Broderick on her arm at the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge dedication gala in NYC yesterday. SJP looked lovely in her
peach dress and pearls although she's had some sad news this week as
Bitten's retailer Steve & Barry's
announced its plans for liquidation.

Salma Hayek was back on the set of
30 Rock in NYC yesterday with Valentina along to see mom work. Alec Baldwin joined her to shoot scenes and it sounds like Jack Donaghy has yet another love interest on the way. Last night, however, it was all about Jennifer Aniston, who did a great job playing Liz's crazy obsessive friend.
Jeez, it's about time
30 Rock came back. Since the NBC comedy was last on the air, it's picked up
a passel of Emmys, and its creator and star, Tina Fey, has gotten
wildly famous for her side job as Sarah Palin. Which is all well and good, of course — it's just been quite the wait to see the 30 Rock gang together again, doing what they do best.
I love this news:
Steve Martin is joining the cast of the untitled Nancy Meyers movie that will star Meryl Streep (I've already expressed how much
I'm looking forward to this project). What's more, his character will duke it out (maybe not physically, though I would love to see that) with Alec Baldwin's character to win the affections of the main lady (Streep).
I'm not always a fan of Meyers's work (What Women Want, oy) but she reliably attracts some top-notch talent.

Salma Hayek looked like one hot mama on the set of
30 Rock in NYC today. Yesterday we saw her showing off her
swimsuit body on a recent vacation in Ibiza, and this dress is equally flattering. She had an extra special guest, Valentina, to
brighten up the day as if that dress isn't doing it enough already.

After the
highs and lows of the
Emmys show the party really got started. For many, the first stop was the Governor's Ball like Heidi in yet another gown before the other bashes. Some were off to the ET/People bash while others went to hear Samantha Ronson spin at Kress nightclub for the TV Guide soiree.

After
taking the podium, the winners and presenters headed back to the press area to pose with their statues and field all sorts of interviews. Buzz and I were lucky enough to be back in the Press Room during last night's
Emmys to catch the victorious in all their glory. Buzz has
some of the best highlights from Mad Men, 30 Rock, Colbert, Stewart and more.
