'30 Rock' blackface episodes withdrawn at Tina Fey's request as she apologises

Middle-earth has never looked so good. Amazon has given a sneak peek at its highly anticipated, highly expensive “Lord of the Rings” prequel series “The Rings of Power” — and its very attractive cast look more at home in Hollywood than they do in Hobbiton. After debuting a teaser trailer last month, the studio has now shared snaps of the show’s sexy stars with Vanity Fair, including an alluring portrait of Welsh beauty Morfydd Clark, 32.

Anna Delvey, who swindled New York’s elite out of hundreds of thousands of dollars  – if only the show had faith in its own premise. Now streaming on Netflix, “Inventing Anna” is based on a viral 2018 New York Magazine article about Delvey (nee Sorokin), 31 — Russian-born and raised in Germany — who defrauded banks, hotels and acquaintances while posing as a trust-fund heiress in New York between 2013-2017. She was convicted for multiple accounts of grand larceny, indicted in 2017 and incarcerated from 2019-2021. Helmed by Shonda Rhimes and starring Julia Garner (“Ozark”) — a skilled actress who seems to have been given bad directing to hide behind a distracting marble-mouthed accent to play Delvey — “Inventing Anna” is a bloated affair, with episodes regularly clocking in at over an hour, which feels punishing.

Tina Fey – the creator, executive producer, writer, and star of the classic NBC sitcom 30 Rock – has apologized for using “race-changing makeup” on the series that ran on the peacock network from 2006 to 2013. The 16-time Emmy-winning show also starred Alec Baldwin, Jane Krakowski, Tracy Morgan, and Jack McBrayer.
