According to press reports, Miss Aniston is taking on the role of Claire Harper, the former roommate of Liz Lemon who ends up stalking Jack Donaghy.

She was one of the longest-reigning queens of prime time television, playing the role of Rachel Green on “Friends.” And it sounds like Jennifer Aniston is returning to the small screen this fall season.
According to her rep, Steven Huvane, the “Rumor Has It” actress will be guest starring on NBC’s hit comedy “30 Rock.” He told press, “She is shooting now. We are not giving out any specifics on her character.

Finally! A celebrity with some sense. I’ve wondered to myself for years why politicians think it’s a good thing to get a celebrity endorsement. I mean really, when Heidi Montag backed John McCain did that send you running to register as Republican? Did Scarlett Johannson’s claim to be receiving personal emails from Barack Obama make you think he could change the world?
He tells CMT Insider, “I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics. Because at the end of the day, I’m good at writing songs and singing. What I’m not educated in is the field of political science. And so for me to be sharing my views and influencing people of who I think they should be voting for … I think would be very irresponsible on my part.”
Preach it Brother Kid! It would not only be irresponsible on his part to influence his fans; it would be utterly ridiculous and stupid for someone to follow a celebrity to the voting poles.

With the overwhelming success of their hit Disney Channel movie “Camp Rock,” it seems as though the Jonas Brothers could be planning a sequel.
Regarding the possibility of a second installment, star Meaghan Jette Martin says: “I really hope they come back. A lot of the Disney people have talked about a sequel, and I’ve heard rumors about scripts and stuff. I would really like a love interest.”

St. Tropez might be a remote little vacation destination - but over the weekend, the tiny resort town played host to some of the biggest names in music!

For instance, we caught Kid Rock out having some fun with his pal David Furnish. The Kid and Elton's hubby have actually been friends for years - but we still think they make a pretty odd couple!

Elsewhere, we caught producer/performer Timbaland heading into the VIP club after an epic concert earlier in the night. Can you believe that
Shock Value's still doing so well after having been out for over a year?

The Kid goes in for a photograph

Up close and personal with Timbo

Now
there's the Kid Rock we know and love!

Kid Rock is tough
Remember when Kid Rock was arrested last year after he got into a fight at an Atlanta-area Waffle House? Now we have video (Kid’s the one rockin’ the white jumpsuit). I don’t really feel comfortable calling it a fight. A six-on-one jumping is more accurate. You’ll note in the video that the man Kid and his friends beat up is black. That’s no coincidence. I heard Kid only started shit with the guy because he hates black people. And Mexicans. And Europeans. It’s true.

Kid Rock hearts sluts
Gabrielle Reece was none too pleased that Kid Rock brought an armful of skanks to her Fourth of July party last weekend in Malibu. From the New York Daily News:
Surfing star Laird Hamilton didn’t seem to mind that Kid showed up at Hamilton’s Malibu beach house with a retinue of leggy, cleavage-bearing, slightly-past-their-prime party favors. But Hamilton’s wife, Olympic volleyball champ Gabrielle Reece, did not appreciate the uninvited guests.
“These ladies were skanky,” our spy observes. “Gabrielle didn’t say anything but you could tell she was fuming.”
We’ll tell you who wasn’t complaining: Kid’s Detroit buddies from the Red Wings, who brought the Stanley Cup with them. Maybe they were distracted by Kid’s blond-tourage, or maybe the ice warriors were disoriented by the throbbing sun, but they forgot the Cup out on the beach. At least for a while. “People mistook the trophy for an ashtray,” says our source. (Source)
It’s pretty much a given that when you invite Kid Rock to a party, he’s going to show up with a gaggle of hot blondes. That’s his M.O. (along with his mullet, Samantha Ronson hat, and Amy Winehouse-esque teeth). Expecting Kid to not show up with an armful of skanks is like expecting Rosie O’Donnell not to supersize her McDonald’s value meal. Both are bound to happen . . . and both will end with someone getting covered in “special sauce.”

Sharing music is easy these days. Downloading music is just a mouse click away. The music “stealing” business probably started with Napster. The communal music haven then felt the wrath of angry musicians whose sales took a hit. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, but Kid Rock has gone nuttier than squirrel crap. He is now “encouraging” us to steal.
“The whole debate on downloading music has gone too far,” he said. “There are record companies suing kids. You can illegally download my music, steal it if you will. Because I’m fucking rich. How can I bitch about you downloading a song or two?”
What I would encourage you to do? Let’s level the playing field. Steal everything. If you want a new MP3 player or a computer… Do you know how much money Apple and Microsoft have? Go in there, get a new laptop and run. You need a new car? Go steal a Toyota.”
[All Headline News]
His recent ranting about the fact that iTunes is stealing everyone’s money and he wasn’t getting enough cash from the deal has hit a nerve. He has since pulled his music from the catalogue. And is now an advocate file sharing.
Rock’s boycott of the major music companies started when Atlantic Records requested that he “publicly denounce file sharing.” Rock basically told them to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine and went on to explain his thoughts on the matter.
“ITunes takes the money, the record company takes the money, and they don’t give it to the artists,” added the country rock rapper. Instead, he says, the internet offers a “great opportunity for everyone to be treated fairly, for the consumer to get a fair price, for the artist to be paid fairly, for the record companies to make some money.”
[Wired Listening Post]
Strangely enough…it makes some sense. Of course, I am not saying we should start using the five finger discount, but the digital music industry is still making the larger profit of the musical revenue. I adore Kid Rock and his trashtastic, down to earth and semi-rational ways.
Then again, anything he does is more acceptable than Heidi Montag and her continued ear raping. That’s the real injustice.

Kid Rock was schedule to perform at the U.K. Dowload festival Friday, but instead had to be admitted to the hospital. The festival went on as planned with fellow acts picking up the slack and performing longer sets. No news on what is wrong with Bob….we’ll keep you updated. Hopefully he just ate same bad British hotel food or something.
A statement from festival organisers reads: “We’ve had the curse of Download. Kid Rock is not very well (and) we’ve had to rush him to hospital in Nottingham (England). He apologises to his fans.” Fellow rock acts Judas Priest and Disturbed made up for Kid Rock’s no-show by treating festival-goers to longer sets.

Following a business meeting at the trendy West Hollywood restaurant Sur, Britney Spears made her way to her car through a sea of paparazzi and fans.
It seems the “Gimme More” singer is hot on the trail of a comeback, with constant trips to the gym and regular sessions in the recording studio. So it only makes sense that she’d be in the midst of talks with industry execs to give her career a boost.

As reported earlier, some USAToday windbag thinks 30 Rock is flailing. Now, I find the show to be the funniest thing ever made and thought the last few episodes were wonderful. So, clearly I disagree. But some of you don't! In fact, this morning we received a crazed, homo-hating Tips email defending the USAToday article. First off, the emailer thinks that our commenters are all "gay." (Which is not true. Just Conbon is.) Well, more specifically he thinks you are all "gay urban liberal art school grad white people." So, OK. He's not entirely off base, but still! Jerk! After the jump, you can read the entire peculiar missive, as well as participate in an important poll: Does 30 Rock now suck?
God I wish I could comment on your gay blog...your commenters are fucking dorks and complete retards if they thought the last couple of episodes were genius. The last episode was so poorly written I was aghast. I dont believe there was even a semblance of a joke made through out the entire episode. Plot is stupid and non-sequitur, jokes are gay and stupid, Alec Baldwin is being wasted with this crappy material, which I cant even dignify by saying its trite or hackneyed, because most of the time it doesn't even make sense...Also, whats up with all the lame ass vh1/human giant/arbitrary humor/hipster comedians that are on this show? Tina Fey's jokes are completely nerdy and the type crap gay urban liberal art school grad white people would like....fuck this show and fuck your commenters. I applaud Robert Bianco for being a contrarian in an ocean of diarrhea that is the media that loves this truly awful show. ...Yes I know its completely pathetic that I would get this angry over a tv show, but its like the time back in college when everybody on my dorm room floor thought Armageddon was good...I basically made it my project to explain to each individual scene by scene why it was so absolutely terrible. Thank you for letting me get this off my chest.

Jordan Carlos, the comedian we once touted as a possible candidate for the Saturday Night Live Barack Obama impersonation position (Lorne Michaels didn't agree, obviously), is getting tired of being pigeonholed as a black comedian without a steady job in television. Although he does have that gig playing Stephen Colbert's black friend. He's been on the NYC comedy scene for years now, and he feels he's not getting the respect he deserves. Specifically, he's a little peeved that the NBC show 30 Rock ripped off his own character idea, and that the Daily Show is one big exclusive white person club!
In fact, Mr. Carlos auditioned for the [30 Rock] Toofer role five times with NBC producers, but Keith Powell, a graduate of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, landed the part. "I heard later there was some regret about that," Mr. Carlos said with a shrug. "The character now dresses the same way I do, and they kind of used the template I had in my audition tapes to make the character. I was like, that sucks. I mean, I would kind of like to make some money off of that." (NBC representatives declined to comment on Mr. Carlos's observations.)
Well, maybe he can get a job writing for the Daily Show?
Mr. Carlos spoke at a panel on race and comedy in Chicago with Lizz Winstead, the co-creator of The Daily Show. "She said, 'Well, in a perfect world I would hire staff writers of color.' I was like, 'Well, it is your perfect world; you can do whatever you want.' But it's the nature of the biz for people to hire their friends, hire whoever they want."

A surly Chris Rock took the stand in the racketeering trial of California private eye to the stars, Anthony Pellicano. Pellicano is on trial for racketeering and conspiracy, wiretapping, witness tampering, identity theft and destruction of evidence. He is serving as his own attorney.
Chris Rock dropped the comedy, and allegedly was unthrilled to be called to the stand. He testified that he hired Pellicano to get the goods on a woman claiming to be pregnant with his kid. That happens to Chris a lot. The woman in question, Monika Zsibrita, also claimed that Rock had assaulted her. A DNA test, and an investigation, rendered both claims invalid.
Chris reportedly had trouble speaking up and was terse on the stand.
"So, you know that you believe that you didn't do anything wrong?" Mr. Hummel [the district attorney] asked about the assault allegations. "I don't believe it," Rock replied. "I'm here as a free man... I didn't do anything wrong."
Rock also denied knowing of the methods Pellicano used to get info on the crazy lady. A phone call recording exists that has Rock and Pellicano discussing on how Pelliocano would "blacken" Zsibrita's reputation. That part of the call was not brought into evidence.
Damn! Screw Diane Sawyer! I'm Mike Wallace, Charles Gibson and Stone Phillips today!

Santa Claus would never rape somebody
If you’re not familiar with the Anthony Pellicano story, let me provide a quick refresher. Former “P.I to the stars”. Did illegal stuff. Now on trial. During his trial yesterday an audiotape was played of a phone conversation between Pellicano and Chris Rock. Model Monika Zsibrita falsely claimed the comedian raped her back in 1998 (she also claimed she was pregnant with his kid which was also proven to be false). The model saved Rock’s semen on a Kleenex and put it in her freezer. The highlights of the tape (CLICK HERE to listen to it on PAGE 2):
8:15
CR: “I know the night we went to the Ivy she had on white pants. I only noticed cause my wife’s real classy and subdued and I’m out with a girl with big tits and white pants. It’s just, I know people were like, ‘heeey’.”
14:00
Pellicano (reading from report): “He tried to pull out and ejaculated on her thighs. She immediately got up and went to the bathroom where she cleaned up with a Kleenex. She put the Kleenex in her pocket.”
14:55
CR: I’ve been so set up…
AP: Did you come on her thighs?…
CR: I had a rubber on. I probably took it off right when I was getting ready to come. I probably came on her ass.
22:00
AP: Did you stick it in her? Without a rubber?
CR: No
See, this is why I secretly videotape all of my sexual encounters with fashion models. You just can’t be too careful nowadays. You don’t know what kind of freaks are out there.

30 Rock producer and star Tina Fey has two Emmys, a Golden Globe and a baby delivered during a 43-day maternity leave from her last job, head writer for Saturday Night Live. She is all of 37 years old so of course she's racing to ensure she doesn't end up an impoverished failure, or at least that's what she said in Parade magazine this past weekend. "I'm here laboring over this tiny show so much, and around me people are making money by the fistful," Fey said. To squeeze producing, acting and parenting into one life, Fey takes her work home with her. "We wrap shooting on a normal day by 7 p.m.," Fey told Parade. "Most times, I then bring three or four writers home with me. I'll put Alice to bed before they come over, then we continue writing until I can no longer stay awake." Fey once woke up in the morning to find writers in her living room, still at work. Slave driver! But, honestly, who wouldn't line up for the chance to come home with Tina Fey, even if it involved grueling laptop work? After the jump, an excerpt from the Ask Tina feature on NBC.com, in which Fey reveals how inviting people home is a deeply-ingrained writing strategy for her:

Dwayne Johnson ("The Rock") is solidifying his move into the realm of family-friendly fare with a new role in the 20th Century Fox comedy, "The Tooth Fairy," which starts filming this summer. He'll be playing a regular guy who finds himself in the strange predicament of having to save the tooth fairy kingdom. I'm predicting now--without knowing anything about the movie--that at some point, a clip of Dwayne's character, dressed in tights and a tutu will be used for the trailer.
As for now, here's Dwayne at the London premiere of his Disney movie, "The Game Plan." He's very into the wacky premises that have him being muscular and goofy with children. But hey, he does it well, so kudos to him.

Don’t laugh, that’s real dog fur
Hanging out with Kid Rock can pay off. A source at the Southern Hospitality restaurant in New York explains to Page Six:
“[Kid Rock] was daring his friends to drink bottles of Tabasco and barbecue sauce. Two of his friends won $500 each.” (Source)
If Kid Rock needs to pay people $500 to be his friends, he’s doing it wrong. You can hire yourself a member of the “world’s oldest profession” to entertain you for a couple hundred bucks a day. Yeah they can be a bit rough around the edges but I always consider our time together money well spent. Of course I’m talking about stonemasons. Oh the stories they weave!
NOTE: This reminds me of that one time in high school when I paid my friend Tommy $5 to sit naked on a block of ice. Unfortunately his nuts didn’t make it through the dare and he now goes by the name Tamara. Oh sure laugh like I’m trying to make some kind of joke, but just know that Tamara is now a cutter.

Every now and then, a reality show comes along which is so ridiculous that I simply can't help but love it. And having had watched every single episode of the first season of "Rock of Love," I can tell that I was eagerly awaiting the inevitable dissolution of the relationship between winner, Jes, and "Poison" singer, Bret Michaels. Because much like Bret and the ladies on the show, I'm all about the chase, and less about the actual relationship. Here is the photo of the second season's cast and it's a sea of bottle-blondes, Forever 21 tops, tight denim and, I'm hoping, closet alcoholics just waiting to get wasted and tell Brett how much they love him and why the other hos just ain't sheeeeeeet. From the looks of this cast, that stripper pole in the living room is definitely going to be put to good use. I think that a good time with these ladies is a very real, very serious threat this season.
"Rock of Love 2" Premieres on Sunday, January 13 at 9:00 PM on VH1.
