Nothing says romance like a moat and a little "Foggy Mountain Breakdown."

Alec Baldwin appears to be reaching out to his Twitter followers to help plan an elaborate – and potentially eclectic – fall wedding with fiancée Hilaria Thomas.

“Anyone got a castle they're not using in September?” the 30 Rock star asked.

Thomas, a 28-year-old yoga instructor in New York City, is also perhaps the antithesis of Baldwin's former loves.

Why Did Alec Baldwin Skip the Emmys?

Alec Baldwin Explains Why He Skipped the Emmys

Originally posted 09/19/2011 07:30AM

It was a birthday party that kept Emmy nominee Alec Baldwin away from TV's biggest night, not the fact that his opening skit got cut, he says.

"I didn't skip the Emmys because of that," the 30 Rock star told reporters Sunday at singing legend Tony Bennett's 85th birthday gala in New York. "I skipped the Emmys because of this – because I wanted to be here."

Baldwin, 53, says he agreed to host the gala a year ago, long before the awards show was scheduled. "The Emmys have been in August for the last several years, but they moved to this date and I'd already committed to this."

Emmy Nominations: Which Comedy Series Deserves the Emmy?

Originally posted 09/16/2011 02:30PM

Winning an Emmy is no laughing matter – unless you're on one of this year's nominees for outstanding comedy series. With the same six shows nominated this year as last year, will it be a repeat for Modern Family?

The show, which stars supporting actress nominee Sofia Vergara, follows members of an extended family through their amusing trials and tribulations. It will be up against fan-favorite Glee with its relatable characters and rousing musical performances; The Office, whose absurd boss, played by Steve Carell, has just taken leave; Parks and Recreation with its hilarious antics of an Indiana town's public officials; 30 Rock, NBC's smash hit comedy with outstanding actress nominee Tina Fey at the helm; and Big Bang Theory, which is all about making physics funny.

Those 30 Rock fans who want to see Tina Fey's Liz Lemon character become a mom will have to keep waiting.

The NBC show has already wrapped its current season and Fey's pregnancy won't factor into the storyline or postpone production for next season, a source confirms to PEOPLE.



Having time off from work is just one source of relief for the actress. The mother of 5-year-old daughter Alice also won't have to worry anymore about being asked if she's having a second child.

"I wish I had a better joke response," Fey, 40, told PEOPLE before she revealed she was pregnant. "[I'd] usually just go, 'I don't know, I'm pretty old. Down to the wire! I need a good joke.' "
