Under fire after hitting headlines following his recent comedy show's anti-gay rant, Tracy Morgan can certainly use all of the support he can muster at the current time.
The 42-year-old actor received kind words from one of his "30 Rock" co-stars, as Tina Fey told TMZ that Morgan isn't a hateful man.
Fey said, "The violent imagery of Tracy's rant was disturbing to me at a time when homophobic hate crimes continue to be a life-threatening issue for the GLBT Community," adding that he clearly "went too far."
Though she clearly doesn't approve of Morgan's stage rant, Tina said that it "doesn't line up with the Tracy Morgan I know, who is not a hateful man and is generally much too sleepy and self-centered to ever hurt another person."
The "Saturday Night Live" alum added, "I hope for his sake that Tracy's apology will be accepted as sincere by his gay and lesbian coworkers at 30 Rock, without whom Tracy would not have lines to say, clothes to wear, sets to stand on, scene partners to act with, or a printed-out paycheck from accounting to put in his pocket."

She?s always up to something, and last night (May 5) Tina Fey paid a visit to ?Late Night with Jimmy Fallon? in New York City.
The ?Baby Mama? actress looked to be thoroughly enjoying her reunion with her former ?Saturday Night Live? cohort, and they even engaged in a game of ?Password.?
Speaking of SNL, Tina will be returning to her late night roots when she handles the hosting duties this weekend.
Ms. Fey will be joined on the program by musical guest Ellie Goulding. ?Saturday Night Live? airs this Saturday at 11:30pm ET on NBC.

Mike Walker in the National Enquirer gets a lot of insider entertainment scoops. He was the first to report that a Wall St. sequel was in the works, for example. So this story could be true or it could be wishful thinking. Either way, it could work out well for Saturday Night Live. The lovely and talented Tina Fey is supposedly being courted to take over for SNL head Lorne Michaels whenever it is that Michaels retires. They would be incredibly lucky to have her:
NBC bigs are wooing “Rock” star/creator/Bossypants Tina Fey, former “Saturday Night Live” head writer, to take over the whole “SNL” shebang whenever exec producer Lorne Michaels, 66, retires from the show he created in 1975. (Let’s stand up and shout, America, “Yay!”) Said an NBC source: “The execs feel no one’s better qualified to take over the reins than Tina. Having her onboard guarantees the show’s success after Lorne leaves.” Insiders say Tina, who’s pregnant with her second child, loves the idea of helming “SNL” - and because the show takes many breaks throughout the season, it fits her mommy schedule perfectly.
[From The National Enquirer, print edition, Mike Walker's column, May 2, 2011]
SNL sucks lately. The few times I’ve watched it recently I’ve wondered why the jokes didn’t have proper punchlines and why the skits went on about twice as long as they should have. (There have been some funny bits where they rip on celebrities, but they’re few and far between.) Of course Tina would do a great job at making the show both entertaining and topical again. She won a lot of Emmys for her work on the show and she brought it to new heights in the early 2000s. She may have too many other things going on to consider it, though.
We recently heard Alec Baldwin say that next year would be the last one for 30 Rock, because the contracts were ending. Kaiser thinks Alec was just trying to negotiate for a better contract. She also told me that last night was the 100th episode of 30 Rock and that it was really good. You know, I’d rather see Tina branch off into her other endeavors than come back and save SNL. I feel like that show has run itself into the ground and doesn’t deserve saving. It needs to fade out when Michaels leaves.

Tina Fey has a new interview with GQ this month, all to promote her book and 30 Rock. You can read the whole piece here - Tina?s interviews are always a good read. Unfortunately, though, Tina is doing this new thing where she?s trying to represent the sisterhood of women by standing up for the most rage-inducing amongst us. In her InStyle interview, Tina tried to defend Gwyneth Paltrow?s comments about crying when she left her kids to go to work. And in recent interviews, Tina has been defending Olivia Munn, who I think Tina fancies as her comedic protg. The problem: Olivia doesn?t deserve it. She hasn?t earned it. Here are some excerpts from Tina?s GQ interview:
On her breast pump: ?Yeah, the thing’s upsetting. I would try to pump milk while watching Entourage on demand. And that was the worst possible way to do it. Like, I had the pump on, and I’d hear Turtle on TV: ?Yo, E, you ever f–k a girl when she has her period?? I just sat there thinking: Oooh, this is not how this is meant to be.
Louis C.K. has a classic line that it’s completely okay to call your kid an a–hole. What do you think?
I think that any person being an a–hole deserves it. Especially toddlers?they’re total d-bags. You gotta let them know.
Liz Lemon is Seinfeld: ?She is the spine, yes. But I always feel like she’s like Jerry Seinfeld on Seinfeld. You couldn’t have done Seinfeld and hired some random guy to be Seinfeld. What he was bringing was very specific to him.?
Do you think Liz is ugly? Because there are all these jokes about her being unattractive, and I just don’t see it.
It’s never that she’s ugly?I mean, she is sometimes slovenly. But for me, it’s always been kind of the opposite of what people have said about her. It’s about how other men see her, and has nothing to do with how she really is. When Jack is like, “Ugh, you’re a mess,” it’s because of what his brain wants a woman to be. It has nothing to do with the physical symmetry of her size or anything. So no, she’s not ugly. She’s kind of sloppy. But all the clothes that Liz Lemon wears are much nicer than what I would wear on a writing-hiatus week.
Lady blogs like Jezebel exploded after the episode with the Liz-hires-a-feminist-comic thing. It sure seemed like you were commenting on the outrage when Olivia Munn?hot lady, not necessarily hot comic?was hired on The Daily Show.
I was actually really pleased that Jezebel got that it was about the whole Olivia thing, because the treatment of Olivia was weird on that site. She just kept getting reamed! And it was this weird mix. They would go after her, and then the next thing would be like, “Defending the Rights of Sex Workers.” And I was just like, “Well, why can’t we just say Olivia’s a sex worker? Leave her alone!”
[From GQ]
I remember that episode. The female comic that the show hired had an act that consisted of ?sexy baby? talk and talking about her boobs and sex, and when Liz tried to ?out? the female comic, it turned out that the woman was hiding from her abusive husband and she liked men around because she was always scared her ex would return. It was a weird episode that didn?t really have a significant political message other than ?Female comics whose comedy relies on being infantile and sexy are people too.? I get that Olivia is a person. And I even think she?s kind of pretty. But I get tired of infantile ?I?m a pretty girl, here are my boobs and I?m making a naughty sex joke!? comedians. It?s boring and unfunny.

She?s known for her comedic ways, so it?s no wonder that Tina Fey is cracking jokes about her pregnancy.
Of finding out the gender of the baby, the ?30 Rock? star told Ellen DeGeneres, "We're going to find out ? never."
"Not even after it's born?" asked the host. "I'm just going to see what it chooses to wear to prom," kidded Fey.
Be sure to catch Tina on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show? airing today (April 19) at 4pm EST.

Stepping out for a promotional appearance, Tina Fey was spotted at ?The Late Show with David Letterman? last night (April 11).
The preggers ?30 Rock? babe was all smiles as she exited the Ed Sullivan Theatre, sporting a form-fitting black dress that showed off her growing belly.
Ms. Fey was in the house to drum up interest in her brand new book ?Bossypants,? an inside look at her beginnings all the way up to her comedy gigs today.
Earlier this week, Tina was among the honorees at the first annual Comedy Central Awards. She won Best Actress in a Film for her work in ?Date Night.?

These are some new photos of Tina Fey exiting the Ed Sullivan Theatre last night after taping a show with David Letterman. These are the first photos I?ve seen where Tina?s bump is really obvious. I?m really happy for her - she?s got it all! Happily married, one happy, healthy daughter and another baby on the way, a great career in television and film, and now a bestselling book, Bossypants. How does Tina juggle it all? As it Fey reminds the reader time and time again in Bossypants, not well. Apparently, there?s even a charming story about Oprah telling Tina that she shouldn?t be over-scheduling so much.
It?s also just been announced that Tina is going to host Saturday Night Live yet again - she?ll be the host for the May 7, the day before Mother?s Day. It should be a good one - Tina always gets the best writing when she?s on.
In other Fey news, a few days ago, (female) writer Curtis Sittenfeld wrote a piece for The New York Times about Tina Fey?s ?place in the sisterhood? and whether or not Tina?s ?girly? hilarity compares to the more traditional male-dominated humor-industrial complex. It?s an interesting piece, and worth a read if you like reading feminist essays about Tina Fey?s feminism. You can read it here.

Doing some serious dirty work, Tina Fey and her "30 Rock" crew went on trash duty while filming in New York City yesterday (March 22).
The "Saturday Night Live" alum donned a blue handkerchief in her hair, florescent safety vest, and bright orange bottoms while on set fellow cast-mates Tracy Morgan and Alec Baldwin .
Tina had people talking at last weekend's (March 19) GLAAD Media Awards, as she played a game of "Fey on Gay" with Bravo's Andy Cohen.
When Cohen asked the comedian how she would come out if she were gay, Fey came up with some pretty hilarious answers: ?I would say either halftime at the Super Bowl would be good, or also it might be kind of weird to do it in the middle of the in-memoriam at the Oscars."

| | Tina Fey writes hilarious essay about working moms for The New Yorker | | Added 13 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Tina Fey has written an essay called ?Confessions of a Juggler? in the new issue of The New Yorker (the one with the Scientology article, I think), all about by a working mom who juggles. Now, I unapologetically love Tina Fey - she?s amazingly talented, a wonderful writer and comedic actress, and I love when Tina ?gets real?. I love when she just says the truth in her own funny little way, which is what she did in this essay. The New Yorker has this brief snippet of her piece:
ABSTRACT: PERSONAL HISTORY about the writer?s dilemmas as a working mother. The writer?s daughter recently checked out a book from the preschool library called ?My Working Mom,? which depicted a witch mother who was very busy and had to fly away to a lot of meetings. The two men who wrote this book probably had the best intentions, but the topic of working moms is a tap-dance recital in a minefield.
What is the rudest question you can ask a woman? ?How old are you?? ?What do you weigh?? No, the worst question is: ?How do you juggle it all??
The second-worst question is: ?Are you going to have more kids?? Science show that fertility and movie offers drop off steeply for women after forty. The baby-versus-work life questions keep the writer up at night. She has observed that women, at least in comedy, are labeled ?crazy? after a certain age. The writer has the suspicion that the definition of ?crazy? in show business is a woman who keeps talking even after no one wants to f-ck her anymore.
The fastest remedy for this ?women are crazy? situation is for more women to become producers and hire diverse women of various ages. That is why the writer feels obligated to stay in the business, and that is why she can?t possibly take time off for a second baby, unless she does, in which case that is nobody?s business. Does the writer want to have another baby? Or does she just want to turn back time and have her daughter be a baby again?
That night, as she was putting the witch book in her daughter?s backpack to be returned to school, the writer asked her, ?Did you pick this book because your mommy works? Did it make you feel better about it?? Her daughter looked at her matter-of-factly and said, ?Mommy, I can?t read. I thought it was a Halloween book.?
[From "Confessions of a Juggler," The New Yorker]
Tina also writes that ?It is less dangerous to draw a cartoon of Allah French-kissing Uncle Sam. . . than it is to speak honestly about [working moms].” She also jokes about being asked about her juggling act by nosy people, writing, ?Sometimes I just hand them a juicy red apple I?ve poisoned in my working-mother witch cauldron and fly away. There?s another great movie idea! Baby Versus Work: A hard-working baby looking for love (Kate Hudson) falls for a handsome pile of papers (Hugh Grant). I would play the ghost of a Victorian poetess who anachronistically tells Kate to ‘go for it.’”
Tina?s book - part memoir, part comedic essay collection (I think) - called Bossypants comes out in April. You can preorder it now!

She?s no stranger to big industry affairs, and earlier tonight (January 30) Tina Fey showed up at the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
The ?Baby Mama? actress looked fabulous as she hammed it up outside the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles, sporting a stylish ensemble.
And tonight is extra special for Tina, as she?ll be competing for some hardware in the Best Female Actor- Comedy category.
But it won?t be easy- Ms. Fey is up against the likes of Edie Falco, Jane Lynch, Sofia Vergara, and the notorious Betty White.
