April 22, 2011 @ 5:04 am PST    30 Rock     Andy Neuenschwander    

Hank Hooper is getting more and more unsettling each episode. By now he's delivering horrible news with a smile: he's going to cancel "TGS," and right before its 100th episode. Oh, p.s. this is the 100th episode of "30 Rock." Go figure.

Ah, so this 100th episode is going to be a bit of a clip show. Not that I have arguments with clips from past episodes of one of the best comedies on TV.

The fact that the gang starts this episode off making a diorama of them making a diorama should let you know that it's going to be the most meta episode ever.

To start things off, Troy spots the monkey grabbing another object and carrying it into the vent. If only they had a way to get in there OH MY GOD CHANG WHY IS HE NAKED?!

The recovered objects begin the clip show to end all clip shows.

You can add Jim Carrey's name to the list of possible replacement managers at Dunder-Mifflin. The actor will reportedly appear as a guest star in the hour-long season finale of "The Office."

Interesting that Jim Carrey would join in, isn't it? After Will Ferrell debuted last week, it seemed that a lot of people were reminded that Ferrell can be very funny without yelling or being totally wacky.

Few directors seem to understand how to use Facebook quite as well as Peter Jackson has during the production of "The Hobbit: Part 1." Last week he posted an intimate 10-minute behind-the-scenes video of the work being done on the set of the latest "Lord of the Rings" installment. It was a calm, reflective tour of the production that spoke volumes about how Jackson has (hopefully) dialed it back a notch and learn to enjoy the ride a bit more after ending up in the hospital recently for a nasty stress-related ulcer.

Need a place to stay in Los Angeles for the summer? Sure, you could go with a timeshare, find a sublet, or crash on a friend's couch, but what if you want something a little more classy?

Paris Hilton has you covered. The socialite is renting out her $4 million home for the summer, for the modest price of $20,000 a month.

What, is that too expensive? Well I didn't tell you what comes with it! Not only do you get to live in the house that Paris lived in, but it comes with a slew of amenities: a pool, a built-in barbeque, and a bedroom-sized walk-in closet (Par

Cameron Crowe did more for Elton John with his "Tiny Dancer" homage in "Almost Famous" than a hundred Rolling Stone interviews ever could.

The festival kicked off with a free outdoor event outside near Ground Zero in lower Manhattan, which was meant to remind the audience of the original intention of the fest - uniting New Yorkers after 9/11, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
