Alec Baldwin Says Tina Fey Tired

On 30 Rock, Tina Fey plays an overworked showrunner trying to balance business with motherhood (or attempts at it anyway).

It turns out the role isn't much of a stretch!

Costar Alec Baldwin says becoming a mom really took a toll on the creator/star this year. He says:

"Tina always had her antenna up. But this year was the first time she came in and laid down on the couch on set, and you could tell, she's a mom. She's f–king wiped out."

Aw! Considering that show makes us laugh more than any other network sitcom in years, we're not surprised she's a bit knackered!

But Tina says it was well worth it, given the finished product. She says:

"I feel like we made a lot of good episodes of the kind of show that usually gets cancelled. The kind where there's 20 episodes and 'only me and my hipster friends know about it.' That part's still true. But we made about 140 of them!"

We can't believe that 30 Rock has been on so long! Guess time flies when you're having funny!

Thanks, Tina! We hate to see the show go, but we can't wait to see what you do next!

People would sell their soul for a hit show. I like Tina but if it were that cool you wouldn't give it up.

She is a comedian? I find nothing about her funny. I have not watched 3rd rock since after the first episode. When she first appeared as Sarah Palin, I was switching channels and got a shock. I was wondering why Sarah Palin became so ugly and haggard all of a sudden until I took a second look and realized it was an impersonator. Strange that people consider tearing others down comedy. Actually many 'comedies' seem more about tearing people down in the guise of comedy. I personally find British comedy much wittier and much more entertaining.

The heavy motherhood role will ease naturally, and then She'll be baaaaack!

first of all, 30 Rock is the smartest show on TV right now. Trash like 2 Broke Girls and 2.5 men do not compare, so yeah, losing 30 rock is a huge deal.
Secondly, Tina is a national treasure and those who can't appreciate her are just not smart enough to get her.
Lastly, I do hate how Perez Hilton like to sensationalize everything. Alec did not SAY that Tina's "going out with a whimper". He just said that she's getting tired, which is perfectly reasonable since she had been running the show for 7 years now, not to mention acting and writing in it. Also take into consideration her movie career. So Perez Hilton, Tina is FAR FAR from going out with a whimper. She - as is 30 rock - is going out with a bang. So stop trying to exaggerate everything to gain views. Sheesh.
Rant over.

Kanye West's Pro-Trump Views: All The Celebrity Responses!

Last week, Kanye West returned to Twitter weeks ahead of his new album release.

In true Yeezy form, he went on epic rants. Most people could get on board with some of his takes on philosophy, but that all changed this week when he firmly double-downed on his love for Donald Trump.

His wife Kim Kardashian West defended him amid the controversy, tweeting in part:

"He's a free thinker, is that not allowed in America? Because some of his ideas differ from yours you have to throw in the mental health card? That's just not fair. ... Now when he spoke out about Trump... Most people (including myself) have very different feelings & opinions about this. But this is HIS opinion. I believe in people being able to have their own opinions, even if really different from mine. He never said he agrees with his politics."

But you see, Kanye tweeted a pic of himself wearing the Make America Great Again hat, and since that's Trump's political campaign slogan, it's hard for many people to think Kim's defense holds weight. Needless to say, folks came forward to call Kimye out...
