Despite the rumors that Alec Baldwin was hospitalized in New York City today, E! is reporting he is fine and was working on the set of 30 Rock all day.
Baldwin was rushed to New York’s Lennox Hill Hospital last night, but the situation was nothing more than a misunderstanding, according to the actor’s rep. “‘This was a misunderstanding on one person’s part,” the star’s rep, Matthew Hiltzik, tells E! News. “Alec was quickly released from the hospital, he’s completely fine and will be at work today.”
Many of the winners at Saturday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards seemed very familiar. That’s probably because most of them won a Golden Globe just one week earlier.
For starters, Jeff Bridges won the Screen Actors Guild award for best actor for his role as an aging musician in Crazy Heart while Sandra Bullock won the SAG award for best actress for her portrayal of the real-life adoptive mother of a young man who goes on to become an NFL player in The Blind Side. And you guessed it, they both won the best actor and actress honors at the Golden Globes for just a week earlier.
Its seems James Franco might be trying to make a move-from movies to TV. ABC announced last week that the “Spider-Man” star will be making a special appearance on “General Hospital” later this month.
Though this seems like a backwards move for an actor who has had a successful career on the big screen, I’m guessing its actually more of a favor to his manager who also happens to manage GH’s Steve Burton. Franco will play a mystery man who comes to Port Charles and causes problems for Jason Morgan (Burton). His role will play out over a two-month period starting November 20, though he is only scheduled to spend three days actually shooting his scenes in Los Angeles.
The 82nd Academy Awards will be hosted tag-team style by Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin.
Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman who producer the Oscars announced today that “the team of Steve and Alec are the perfect pair of hosts for the Oscars. Steve will bring the experience of having hosted the show in the past and Alec will be a completely fresh personality for this event.”
As the fall season rolls on, we’re left with less and less new shows to look forward to. This week does offer the return of 30 Rock on Thursday night which I’m excited about. Next week was suppose to mark the season two premiere of the critically-acclaimed Southland but that was before NBC canceled it, announcing they would not air one of the new episodes already in the can.
Here’s a list of what else is premiering over the next …

Tina Fey and Steve Carell are making the most of their hiatuses from 30 Rock and The Office by teaming up for a new movie, Date Night. In the film, Tina and Steve play a married couple who get more than they bargained for when heading out for a night on the town.
Director Shawn Levy explained to Variety why the comedy duo was his first choice for the the film. …
NBC announced their fall line-up today too. Of course, NBC’s new schedule revolves around the addition of The Jay Leno Show Monday through Friday at 10 PM EST.
Noticeably absent from the schedule are My Name Is Earl and Medium, both have been cancelled but may be picked up by ABC or CBS. It looks like the shows’ stars were as surprised as their fans to hear the news. This morning, My Name Is Earl star Ethan Suplee tweeted: “Just got the call that My Name Is Earl has been canceled. They sure did take their time with that decision or rather informing us of it.”
New shows on the network include a new paramedic show, Trauma, which will follow Heroes on Mondays, a new apocalypse show, Day One,will air Mondays at 9 p.m. beginning in February, Joel McHale’s Community, which will follow The Office on Thursday and Parenthood which will be on at 8 p.m. on Wednesdays in the fall before Mercy takes over the time slot in mid season. Here’s a look at the full fall season:
Thursday night has notoriously been the night where the networks dispaly their best comedies and dramas. Tonight, ABC, CBS and NBC will air the season finales of their biggest hits in a knock down, drag down out fight for ratings.
CBS will air the season finale of their biggest hit, CSI, tonight which won’t have any major shake-ups in the cast but should satisfy long-time viewers, especially since they know the show will be back for a tenth season.
Over at ABC, …

Mad Men star (and Liz Lemon’s latest love interest) Jon Hamm has joined the cast of Howl. The film chronicles the obscenity trial that ensued after the publication of Allen Ginsberg’s 1956 epic poem of the same name.
