What’s On: Please Welcome 30 Rock Executive Producer Jenna Maroney!

30 Rock returns tonight with enough Tina Fey/pilot Matt Damon romance to ignite a Mile High Club fad across this great nation — but will Jane Krakowski (as the divine and screwy Jenna Maroney) steal the show as TGS with Tracy Jordan ‘s new executive producer? Also on tonight: My Generation premieres and Project Runway gets heavy.

The rest is here:

Potential Oscar Nominee James Franco Gets ‘D’ in Acting Class

James Franco will be in the thick of the Oscar race this year thanks to his performance in 127 Hours , but that doesn’t mean everyone thinks he’s a good actor. At the premiere of Howl last night, Franco revealed he got a ‘D’ in a recent acting class at NYU, though he isn’t sure how that happened. “I did the work, I did well in everything else,” he told Roger Friedman . Maybe his teacher saw Flyboys . [ Showbiz411 ]

Finally: Roman Polanski and Matt Dillon to Make Beautiful Art Together

Word from England this morning reports that Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet will play the wives of Christoph Waltz and Matt Dillon’s characters in the film version of the play God of Carnage , directed by Roman Polanski. I know, I know — I needed the double-take myself.

Conan O’Brien Finally Answers Your Question

Last week, Conan O’B rien took questions from Facebook users in an effort to further publicize his new, eponymous late night yuk-fest, Conan . Because, yeah, what channel is this show on again? (Let’s hope that Conan and team are putting as much effort into the content of his show as he is promotion.)

What’s On: Glee-for-All

We’re in for a freakishly resplendent season of Glee , complete with insane cameos (Gwyneth Paltrow, anyone? Barry Bostwick, anyone?) and more romance, melodrama, and harmony than a Fleetwood Mac coke bender. Elsewhere on TV, Detroit 1-8-7 proceeds with procedural flair, The Biggest Loser gets educational, and Dancing with the Stars loses a star.

4 Reasons Why Kiernan Shipka (a.k.a. Sally Draper) Might Get an Emmy Nomination in 2011

Laugh all you want, but it’s true: Besides perhaps only Randee Heller — R.I.P. Ms. Blankenship — there hasn’t been a bigger breakout performer on Mad Men this season than Kiernan Shipka. Upped to a series regular for the first time, Shipka has handled her increasingly adult situations — ahem — with the aplomb of someone twice her age. It begs the incredibly, ridiculously premature question: Can little Sally Draper be an Emmy nominee in 2011? Ahead Movieline offers 4 reasons why that might not be as far-fetched as you think.

As for this week’s honors, we’re handing out the Carrie Ann Inaba “Diplomacy in Judging” Prize, the Len Goodman “Victorian Disgrace” Trophy, and — of course — the Bruno Tonioli Sexy Heart-Attack Award.

Katy Perry’s 9 Most Irritating Faces Made in Her New Sesame Street Appearance

Perhaps it’s just the bitter end of a long, crushing day, or possibly the unshakable gloom of my post-Blankenship hangover , but Katy Perry on Sesame Street is just about the last thing my brain is prepared to reckon with this evening. But there it is — rather, there she is, all cleavage and cloy, bubble-gum grill, stalking around in pursuit of Elmo. There’s something curiously bothersome about this, and not necessarily that Perry went tweeting F-bombs just days ago when her fiancé punched out photographers. It’s probably best spoken in screencaps:

Help Movieline Caption This Photo from the Set of Terrence Malick’s Other New Film

After false rumors, starts, stops and a two-year wait, we still won’t get to see Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life until 2011. So in the meantime, why not help Movieline caption a photo that leaked from the set of his even newer film, currently known only as Untitled Terrence Malick Project ? This one stars Ben Affleck, Javier Bardem, Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams and Olga Kurylenko, and the photo below was taken when Malick and a small crew were shooting in Oklahoma at the Indian Summer Festival. That might explain the person decked out in full Native American garb next to Kurylenko, but let’s hear your take! Caption away after the jump.
