<![CDATA[30 Rock: Reaching Out To "Real America"]]> Last night on the season premiere of 30 Rock, Jack announced that, to boost ratings, TGS needed to pander to middle America (or, as he put it, trick "racecar-loving wide loads into watching your lefty, homoerotic propaganda hour").

After Jack dropped the term "real America," Liz informed him, "That's a nonsense term. All of America is "real America." Could that be a dig at Sarah Palin?

Jack's announcement also inspired Tracy to rediscover his humble bucket-drumming roots, while Jenna offered to "go country" since, "the best way for a lady to get heat in this industry is to either record a country album or have a lesbian relationship."

Speaking of feeling the heat, things are tight at NBC due to the recession, so Jack asked Kenneth and the rest of the pages to work longer hours for no overtime. Kenneth, understandably was outraged when he discovered that Jack himself is still earning a bonus, just as many "real Americans" were when they found out Wall Street executives were doing the same.

Meanwhile, Liz and Pete were secretly going to comedy clubs scouting for a new TGS cast member average Americans could relate to. The rest of the writers assumed all the sneaking around meant they were having an affair, and, rather than send them into a panic, Liz admitted, "Pete and I are intercoursing each other."

An opportunity opens up for 30 Rock to boost ratings by taking the lesbian route (sort of). Thankfully, they don't go there.

In the end, Liz wound up losing the entire TGS cast when Jenna and Tracy joined Kenneth's page/mall Santa/bucket drummer strike.

Jack threatened to end the page program, but Kenneth realized he was bluffing (Jack can't afford to pay real employees to do the work!) an, after Jack admitted to lying, the strike was called off. The moral of this story was: Kenneth may be simple, but he's not stupid (and can't be seduced by the sight of Steve Buscemi in a blonde wig).

<![CDATA[Poised & Polished Peeps At Precious Screening]]> Gabourey Sidibe, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Lenny and Zoe Kravitz and more attended the Precious screening at the New York Film Festival. The flick reportedly received a standing ovation, but what about the clothes? Let's take a look…


Gabourey "Gabby" Sidibe's plum-colored gown has questionable sleeves, but she looks happy and comfortable.


IMdB tells me that Chyna Layne was in Cadillac Records and something called STD: Sexually Transmitted Demons. Her one-sleeved gown is not for wallflowers! It kind of looks like wallpaper, but I love the color, and the large bow on one side reminds me of the Baroness in The Sound Of Music.


Sherri Shepherd looks fantastic, though I think she'd benefit from a more open neckline.


71-year-old Jane Fonda appears to be wearing LEATHER PANTS. And looking fierce while doing so.


Harvey Keitel's glasses = Awesome.


Precious actress Xosha Roquemore looks adorable in this little strapless number.


Paula Patton is stunning, and I dig her interesting LGD — little gray dress — but the booties just aren't right.


Mariah Carey shows off her hourglass figure in what seems to be a long-sleeved American Apparel tee.


Mariah's husband Nick Cannon: Dapper.


Steve Buscemi and date: Charmingly rumpled.


I can't decide if Oprah's BFF Gayle King looks casually elegant, needs a shorter hem, or both.


You've gotta love the rock 'n roll nonchalance Lenny and Zoe Kravitz bring to the red carpet. Everything's a little bit off, yet it all works somehow.


I love that line in Mary J. Blige's The One" where she sings, "I ain't saying that I'm the best; but I'm the best." The lady looks amazing. You are the best, Mary!

<![CDATA[Judi Dench: "Fashion Is Not An Art Form. If It's Anything At All It's Pornography."]]> The trailer for Rage, Sally Potter's fashion industry whodunnit, makes the movie look like either the most ambitiously brilliant — or over-its-head silly — thing the British filmmaker has done since her 1992 adaptation of Orlando with Tilda Swinton.

For one thing, Jude Law stars, in drag, as a supermodel named Minx. Lily Cole, glimpsed here briefly in the trailer, plays model Lettuce Leaf; Dame Judi Dench is the fashion critic, and Simon Abkarian, who starred in Potter's 2005 film Yes, does a brilliant-looking turn as a very Galliano-esque fashion designer named Merlin. Even Eddie Izzard, Steve Buscemi, John Leguizamo, and Dianne Wiest pop up in the ensemble cast.

Apparently, the movie — which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year and was nominated for the Golden Bear — proceeds entirely in the form of interviews, apparently recorded by a young film student backstage at fashion house where an accident on the runway becomes the subject of a murder investigation. Michelangelo, as the unseen film student is known, posts the confessional clips on the Internet. Whether the technique of forcing the audience to imagine all the plot's action will lead to filmic brilliance — or maddening frustration — can't be judged from a trailer alone. But on the strength of the visuals — Jude Law preening in a corset, Eddie Izzard in a three-piece suit — and the writing — photographer Steve Buscemi musing on shooting people versus shooting people, Judi Dench comparing fashion to "pornography to which millions are addicted" — we're excited to find out.
