The Office star Steve Carell has inked a first-look deal with the WB. My guess is this was done to sweeten the pot for Carell to appear in a sequel for Get Smart.
Talk about being the “it” man for comedy nowadays. He’s in one of television’s most successful comedies and is one of the top-tier comedy motion picture stars. He’s even slated to co-star with another TV icon, Tina Fey, in an upcoming motion picture called Date Night.
Tina Fey offered $6M for book (maybe, possibly?)

The New York Post is reporting that 30 Rock star and producer Tina Fey has been offered around $6M for her first book.
Fey is the It Girl on TV right now, with Emmys and her Sarah Palin impersonation (will she make yet another appearance on the show tomorrow night?) and the upcoming third season of her show (October 30). Not sure if the $6M figure is correct. The Post states her agent isn’t commenting and that the figure is from “sources.” If it’s true, that’s a pretty hefty payday. You don’t usually see a figure that high unless you’re a major political figure or a bestselling, established author. But good for her if she gets it.

Old Christine steals Tina Fey’s new Emmy - VIDEO

Tina Fey is on a roll right now. She just won another Emmy for 30 Rock (and the show won for Best Comedy), she’s getting rave reviews for her impersonation of Governor Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live, and she might even get a great deal on a new Florida condo from acclaimed director Martin Scorcese. She really has to learn how to hide her awards though.
On Tuesday’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien, New Adventures of Old Christine star Julia Louis-Dreyfus was speaking about losing out to Fey for the Ideal Comedy Actress Emmy and came up with the idea (with Conan’s pushing) to go up to Fey’s dressing room to steal the award (and this after Fey said some nice things about her at the Emmy ceremony!). It’s clearly pre-staged, but still funny, and we get cameos from not one but two stars from 30 Rock.

What red carpet couldn’t be improved by tequila? - VIDEO

I don’t know how most of you watched the Emmys, but I watched it in a conference room with my colleagues, working on features for AOL TV’s Emmys coverage. It was just like being at an Emmys party — we even had jambalaya! (OK, there was that whole “work” thing, too.)
But Guillermo on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ — well, he’d the right idea. He took a bottle of tequila to the red carpet and convinced a ton of celebs to do shots with him. Then, if he was still conscious (and after 20 shots, I honestly don’t see how), he got the opportunity to watch the Emmys drunk. Hey, that’s one way to make the reality-show hosts seem funny.
