We're done thinking that Tracy Morgan is an act. He is Tracy Jordan on 30 Rock, which is to say totally nuts.

His new book, I Am the New Black, comes out next week, but we got some choice snippets in the meantime. Morgan doesn't have very nice things to say about his former SNL castmembers, Chris Kattan and Cheri Oteri. They never respected him, he says, but he thinks they got some comeuppance.

For once, it's not Megan Fox's mouth causing a problem. She hosted the season premiere of Saturday Night Live this weekend, and she was fine, though she wasn't given much to do.

It was no surprise to us that this weekend that Tina Fey picked up another Emmy as a guest actress on Saturday Night Life for her brilliant spoof of Sarah Palin last year.

The Primetime Emmy Awards may not be given out until next weekend, but overachiever Tina Fey has already won herself one.

Fey was awarded the Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series Emmy at last night's Creative Arts Primetime Emmys for her impersonation of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live.

In her acceptance speech, Fey thanked SNL producer Lorne Michaels and her parents, "who are lifelong Republicans, for their patience."

Congratulations, Tina! And good luck next weekend.

The body known as Jessica Biel attended the New York premiere of her new film, Easy Virtue, in New York last night.

Can you say, “Slammin’”?

She walked the red carpet with her co-star Ben Barnes before hitting the afterparty at the Gramercy Park Hotel with her boyfriend, Justin Timberlake, who absolutely dominated on SNL this weekend.

It was the best episode in longer than we can remember.

Jessica has been busily preparing for her big musical debut at the Hollywood Bowl this summer in Guys and Dolls (we already have tickets).

Former SNL star Maya Rudolph and her partner, crazy director Paul Thomas Anderson, are expecting their second child together.

Maya, 36, who next stars as a pregnant woman searching for a place to call home with her husband, played by John Krasinksi, in Away We Go, made the announcement to ET Canada on Monday. 

“I wasn’t planning on sharing it, but yes I am pregnant!”

Rudolph and Anderson are parents to a three-year-old daughter named Pearl.

This time, Maya says, it’s a totally different ballgame.

“They’re like, 'eight seconds until you’re on,' and you’re still butt naked. How are you supposed to walk out in eight seconds?”

--Zac Efron on the hyper-speed SNL costume changes.

Honey, you can walk out naked any damn time you please.

Zac Efron sat down with Matt Lauer on the Today Show this morning, and of course, Kathie Lee decided to come out and make it ALL about her.

In case you missed it, Zac appeared in an SNL sketch this weekend where Kristen Wiig played a lushed-out Kathie Lee and Zac was her beloved, super peppy “singer” son, Cody.

You know Cody, the one she’s been constantly harping on for the last 19 years.

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were snapped making their way into the infamous Saturday Night Live afterparty at New York City’s Heartland Brewery early Sunday morning.

We so wanted to love Zac’s episode.

But we didn’t.

He needed to come out and pull the Timberlake card: play to his strengths (singing and dancing), but doing it in a way that’s so outrageous, people can’t help but take notice.

Zac played it way too safe and he ended up making the same face, a sort of tight lip look of bemused terror, throughout the entire show.

We are having a major Zac Attack!

Ever since our rendezvous with the charmer on Sunday, we’ve been extra twitterpated about our Zac-y Pooh.

The wise old owl says, “Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime,” but we think it’s got less to do with the change of seasons and more to do with Efron magic. 

Swoon.

Zac was snapped as he arrived in New York on Monday to begin preparing for his SNL hosting duties. 

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
