Amy Poehler’s New Show Revealed!

January 26th, 2009

Amy Poehler fans, set your DVRs for April 9: The former Saturday Night Live star has a new show, likely to be called Public Service, set to air at 8:30 on NBC. The new series was originally slated to debut after the Super Bowl, but Amy’s pregnancy pushed the start date back a few months.

 

Amy will play a mid-level local government official – we’re thinking a Michael Scott-esque public servant – and will be starring with The Office alum Rashida Jones, as well as Aziz Ansari

 

Although Public Service is the brainchild of Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, both of whom worked on The Office, the twosome insist it’s not a spinoff, as there’s nary a Dunder-Mifflin employee in sight.

 

Only time will tell!

John Krasinski & Rashida Jones Back Together?

May 18th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff

Though Office co-stars John Krasinski and Rashida Jones have always been open about the fact that they dated before reuniting to work on the hit NBC sitcom, they have always denied rumors and reports that anything romantic has happened between them since. However, it would be hard to deny there was some chemistry when the pair attended the afterparty for the season finale of Saturday Night Live this weekend.

"They entered the party holding hands," one witness tells OK!. And according to party insiders, the pair were telling friends they’re indeed back together again.

When OK! spoke to Rashida recently, she spoke very highly of her former beau. "It’s not very often you can work with an ex-boyfriend so easily," she explained about John, who not only shared the screen with her on The Office, but who directed her in his upcoming film, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. "He’s fantastic; really skillful, honest and direct."

A request for comment from John’s rep has not been returned at this point.

Rashida Jones: Nicole Richie’s Baby Is “the Most Perfect Little Thing”

February 26th, 2008 / Author: cwillett

When actress Rashida Jones heard her good pal Nicole Richie was expecting her first baby, the Office star knew exactly what to get the mom-to-be.

“I’ve known Nicole since she was 3,” Rashida, who was there for Nicole’s Wizard of Oz-themed baby shower in November, tells OK!. “I got her a really cute diaper bag that my friend makes from the line Not Rational, and some maternity stuff.”

Rashida, who’s about to star in the new Fox series Unhitched, was thrilled that Nicole and her partner Joel Madden donated their baby shower gifts to young mothers in need through their recently formed Madden-Richie Foundation.

“When we were leaving the shower, there was one of those huge valets shipping out the gifts,” Rashida, 32, tells OK!. “It was cool.”

Both Rashida and Nicole are children of music legends — Nicole’s father is singer Lionel Richie and Rashida’s pop is award-winning producer and composer Quincy Jones, who also happens to be Nicole’s godfather.

And what about Nicole and Joel’s 2-month old baby girl, Harlow? Rashida says she’s "just the most perfect little thing!"
