HollywoodNews.com: The Emmy Awards are over, thank goodness. “Mad Men,” “Modern Family,” and “Downton Abbey” won the series awards. But the biggest surprises were Steve Carell inexplicably not being rewarded for “The Office,” Jon Hamm getting shut out for “Mad Men,” and Laura Linney not scoring for “The Big C.” Blech.
At the Governor’s Ball, our Leah Sydney ran into Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Leah asked Tina how she thought Jane Lynch did as host, and whether or not the “30 Rock” star would ever emcee the show herself.
“God, no!” exclaiming Tina, with Amy nodding in assent. “Jane was funny, quick, and clever. But I’d never host. Oh, that’s way too hard. Too much work!” Fey is also not writing a sequel to her current bestselling book. She’s overwhelmed with a new baby and new “30 Rock” episodes.
Steve Buscemi, star of “Boardwalk Empire,” disagrees. At the HBO party at the Pacific Design Center, Buscemi told Leah: “Tina Fey would be fabulous to host the Emmy show. I was sitting with them at the Emmys, I laughed all night with those two.” Now that “BE” has wrapped, Buscemi will direct an episode of “30 Rock” and may be in it, as well. “It’s hard to act and direct. It’s like walking and chewing gum, I can’t do that either.”

Hollywoodnews.com: In the wake of Tracy Morgan’s anti-gay rant during a recent comedic performance, several of his “30 Rock” co-stars stepped up to react. Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey both made public apologies for Morgan’s words, with Fey going so far as to say that “the violent imagery of Tracy’s rant was disturbing to me at a time when homophobic hate crimes continue to be a life-threatening issue for the GLBT Community.”
Morgan said, as part of his routine, that he’d take out a knife and stab his son if he found out the child was gay.
But one “30 Rock” co-star is not making nice on behalf of Morgan’s comments. In a statement made to Out Magazine, openly gay actor Cheyenne Jackson – who plays Danny on the NBC sitcom – said, “I am disgusted and appalled by Tracy Morgan’s homophobic rant. The devastating repercussions of hate-filled language manifest in very real ways for today’s LGBTQ youth.
“I’ve known Tracy for two years, spent many long hours with him on set, and I want to believe that this behavior is not at the core of who he is,” Jackson continued. “I’m incredibly disappointed by his actions, and hope that his apology is sincere.”
Morgan also has apologized, but the fallout from his unfortunate statements continues.

HollywoodNews.com: Tina Fey has known Tracy Morgan for years now, so she was very shocked to hear about his homophobic rant at a comedy show, but also doesn’t believe that is who he is.
His ’30 Rock’ costar was reportedly disturbed by the imagery Morgan created in his comments, states TMZ. Fey also commented that these comments do not line up with how she knows Morgan as he has never been a hateful person.
She also hopes that his apology will be accepted by the public.
Do you think his apology was enough?
