(S02E15) "I'm just gonna be a kick-ass single mom. Like Erin Brokovich, or Sarah Connor." - Liz
30 Rock fans looking for laughs, plot twists, and a cliffhanger in the finale are probably happy. You got all that, plus a guest star (more than one, actually) that I didn't even know was going to be in the episode. And if you're one of the people who was wondering "what the heck does the episode title 'Cooter' even mean?," well, he's the secret to that (and Tina Fey has been using the term for a while now).
But some 30 Rock fans - I would go out on a limb and say most of you - weren't happy to find out who the father of Liz's maybe-baby might be.

Have you noticed lately that the new faces cropping up on TV series in starring roles are often actors you've never seen before -- or if you have, it was in a supporting role of a feature or a foreign TV show? Think about it, Lee Pace as the Pie Man on
Pushing Daisies, Jonny Lee Miller on
Eli Stone, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in
New Amsterdam, Michelle Ryan in
Bionic Woman, all of these leads are relatively new faces. That's one way to cast series. Another is for big stars to take to TV, if not for the first time, than for a return.
In an interesting article at IGN.com, blogger Travis Fickett points out that there used to be a line of demarcation between the worlds of acting:
film actors vs. television actors. But nowadays the stars are going back and forth a lot more fluidly.

"Mess O' Potomac": Good news...
John Bolton is out. Bad news... he's making money with moustache rides. Even more bad news... Donald Rumsfeld has wormed his way back in the news. An
old memo has surfaced and it's not fun and it's full of quotation marks. Senior Foreign Policy Analyst John Oliver elaborated on the use of quotes and air-quotes. The sun analogy was beautiful, haha.

What the hell is going on at The View?! Forget Meet The Press or Face The Nation or Bill O'Reilly, the most controversial show, week after week, is an ABC morning show where a bunch of women sit around and talk about stuff. Who woulda thunk it?
This week's edition comes from Danny Devito, who appeared on the show yesterday to promote his new Christmas movie Deck The Halls. Not only is he clearly tipsy, he has released a statement apologizing for the entire escapade. You can actually feel that Rosie and Joy and Elisabeth and Barbara and the entire audience knew he was drunk. Of course, the women knew it when he hugged them all, but the audience could probably smell the fumes, and you there at home will probably be able to as well.
Jeez, at 11am in the morning? Well, he does say he hadn't even been to bed yet. We should start a contest to guess which celeb is going to do what next. Video after the jump!
