Katrina Bowden's 30 Rock Costar Is Surprised She's Engaged So 'Young'

Originally posted 01/30/2012 05:45PM

Katrina Bowden was "shocked" by Ben Jorgensen's proposal on Saturday – and one of her costars is equally stunned.

"What, she's engaged?" 30 Rock's Judah Friedlander said when PEOPLE broke the news to him on the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards Sunday in L.A. "This is the first I'm finding out. They've been going out for a long time, and he's a great guy."

But Friedlander's surprise over Bowden's impending nuptials comes from more than the initial not knowing.

J.R. Martinez Won't Name His Daughter 'Salami' or 'Apple Cider'

J.R. Martinez and Diana Gonzalez-Jones, who are expecting their first daughter in May, have narrowed the names to two. Expect something special – but nothing absurd.

"We won't name her Apple Cider or Salami," the Dancing with the Stars champ, 28, vowed to PEOPLE at Sunday's Screen Actors Guild Awards. "It won't be our favorite dish or our favorite getaway or favorite car or show."

So, what's left after that? "It will be something really close and personal to us that feels like we're giving something to her that is very special," he says.

Kyra Sedgwick's New Ribcage Tattoo Explained!

Kyra Sedgwick Exposes a New Tattoo on SAG Red Carpet

Originally posted 01/30/2012 11:20AM

Despite the many gorgeous celebrities flocking last night's Screen Actors Guild Awards red carpet, Kyra Sedgwick stood out thanks to a bold new accessory.

Clad in a fire engine red Emilio Pucci column, The Closer star (and best drama actress nominee) explained the significance of the linear design resting just north of her exposed ribcage.

"It's a family tattoo," she told E! "It's all our initials K, K, S and T."

The actress was, of course, referring to husband of 23-years, Kevin Bacon, their son Travis, 22 and daughter Sosie, 19.

Screen Actors Guild Awards: What the Stars Will Be Eating (and Drinking)!

Originally posted 01/29/2012 01:45PM

Forget places like Koi, Spago and The Ivy – with the feast awaiting them at the Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony, Hollywood's elite will be counting themselves among the world's luckiest gourmands faster then you can say "Brown Derby."

For the main course, James Beard Award-winning chef – and mom – Suzanne Goin is offering slow-roasted salmon with yellow beets, spicy carrot salad and raita; grilled chicken breast with black rice, pea shoots and tangerine vinaigrette; and roasted root vegetables with quinoa and persimmon salsa.

Even notoriously picky Jack Donaghy, the character Alec Baldwin is nominated for best actor in a TV comedy for playing on 30 Rock, would find no cause for complaint.

For those herbivores among the 1,200 joining the SAGs for dinner, Goin is serving a vegetarian option: spicy carrot salad with yellow beets, cucumber, and black mustard seeds; roasted root vegetables with quinoa and persimmon salsa; and black-rice salad with English peas, pea shoots and tangerine vinaigrette.

Viola Davis, a double nominee this year for The Help, joins the list of presenters at Sunday's 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Previously announced presenters on the show include Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey and Natalie Portman.

Armie Hammer Smiles in Mug Shot for Pot Bust

Armie Hammer will certainly be looking his best when he hits the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday. But he's looking pretty darn good in a mug shot that's just been released.

The J. Edgar star, who's nominated for best supporting actor, posed for this picture in November, when he was arrested for marijuana possession in Sierra Nevada, Texas.

Authorities allege they found pot cookies and a brownie, according to the police report.

POLL: Which of Betty White and Glenn Close's SAG Roles Were Better?

Which of Betty White and Glenn Close's SAG-Nominated Roles Were Better?

Originally posted 12/15/2011 07:30AM

They like them. They really, really like them.

Screen Actors Guild members were so enamored with Glenn Close and Betty White this year that they nominated each actress twice for SAG Awards.

Close, 64, picked up two best-actress nods – one in the film category for Albert Nobbs, in which she plays a woman masquerading as a man in order to make a living in 19th-century Ireland; and one in the TV-drama category for Damages.

White, 89, also earned two best-actress nods – one in TV comedy for her sitcom Hot in Cleveland; and one in the TV movie or miniseries category for Hallmark Hall of Fame: The Lost Valentine, a modern-day story about a woman whose Navy husband went missing in World War II.

What an initiation into the red carpet club.

Patrick J. Adams, star of USA's drama Suits, woke up Wednesday morning to the surprise news that he was a Screen Actors Guild Award nominee for outstanding performance by a male actor in a drama series. It was his first-ever nomination – for anything!

"This is my first year for a lot of this stuff," Adams tells the Los Angeles Times's Show Tracker blog. "This is all brand new to me. ... I never, ever imagined it would get to this point."

Why Didn't President Obama's Favorite Show Get a SAG Nomination? | Claire Danes, Damien Lewis

Homeland Not Nominated for SAG Awards

Originally posted 12/14/2011 05:50PM

What is this, a conspiracy?

Showtime's spy thriller Homeland, which I picked as my No. 1 show for 2011 in PEOPLE's year-end issue (and which is a pretty safe bet to dominate top-10 lists elsewhere), is homeless – at least when it comes to the Screen Actors Guild Award nominations, announced Wednesday. (President Barack Obama, in the same issue of PEOPLE, reveals that the show is a favorite of his, as well. Just saying ...)

The show, renewed for a second season, wouldn't work if it weren't for the tense gamesmanship and sexual chemistry of Claire Danes, as a CIA analyst, and Damian Lewis, as a former POW whose life intersects suspiciously with a circle of Middle East terrorists. And yet neither is up for the award.
