Allison already gave you the news that
James Franco is going to guest star on 30 Rock, and now Kristin over at E! has done a little detective work and has news about another casting coup for the NBC show (possible spoilers follow).
An E! correspondent
talked to Alec Baldwin on the red carpet at an
Elle party and Baldwin told her that he's getting a new love interest on the show. When asked who, he wouldn't say, but looked around and said it was someone who was near to them.

(S02E06) "I'm putting my foot down...gingerly." -- Chuck
I'm now officially worried about Chuck Bartowski. It wasn't the injection of poison to create the antidote to the chemical agent in the hotel conference room that frightened me this week, or the previous episodes when he faced nefarious gunmen with evil intent. The fear is emotional. The return of Jill Roberts should be signaling DefCon 4.
This was one of my favorite Chuck episodes thus far this season. It's the way all the parts fell together. There was great balance between the character development and the action, as well as the funny stuff and the serious scenes. Also, I can't help but notice that Chuck is getting a lot better at handling his CIA chores.
But I'm still worried. More about that after the jump.

(S02E04)
Chris Rock: Who knew the secret for a guy getting girls was for a guy to get a girl?
I have a friend who came up with the somewhat gauche term "girlfriend stink" to describe that air of confidence a guy has when he's in a relationship that suddenly makes him attractive to women who normally would want nothing to do with him. Chris finds out what that's all about when rumors start to circulate around the neighborhood that he and Tasha, the new girl next door, are dating. Chris figures as long as he responds to every query with "hey, well, you know..." he's safe, since it's a noncommittal answer, but really he just doesn't want anyone to think he's a loser who can't get any girls. Apparently he doesn't realize he's the star of a sitcom about how much it sucks to be a teenager.

Shannen Doherty is teaming up with the
creators of
Scare Tactics once again for a new reality show of sorts called
Breaking Up with Shannen
Doherty. No, the show isn't about people dating and breaking up with the actress, but it is about people in cruddy
relationships who aren't sure whether to pull the plug or not. Doherty goes undercover to survey the situation, then
deicdes whether to help instigate a break up. Thirteen episodes of the new series will air on Oxygen, though I probably
won't watch it since I grew bored with it in the time it took me to type that sentence describing it. Oh yeah, and I
should point out that the show won't just focus on romantic relationships, but on any kind of bad relationship.
