The Lucky “Fabb West” conference to be held April 30th in L.A. was put together by Lucky magazine’s editor-in-chief Brandon Holly, after producing three conferences in New York. Covering beauty and fashion, it will feature panelists such as Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant, Project Runway producer Desiree Gruber, the founders of whowhatwear.com, Easy A director Will Gluck, and others. The star panelists are also star bloggers: Jessica Alba (Honest.com, a site for moms), Elizabeth Banks (Elizabethbanks.com covers the stars’ own beauty and fashion choices), Dianna Agron (who blogs under the name But You Can Call Me Charlie), as well as keynote speaker Zac Posen. And if that wasn’t enough, Randi Zuckerberg, sister of Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, will participate, as well as Mad Men’s Kiernan Shipka, whose teen looks are making viral waves. Panel topics and speaker sessions will include What Fashion Can Learn From Hollywood, Working with fashion and entertainment brands and talent in cyberspace, and Finding your voice and monetizing for the blogosphere. This all happens next on April 30, and Fash Track will follow up on location and tickets. Interesting that stars and producers are now wanting to capitalize on the blogger crazy. Here’s one way a monthly print magazine can compete with the daily bloggers: give them a conference! If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. |

Elizabeth Banks may be closely identified with a new breed of comedy, having made her mark in films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Zack and Miri Make a Porno. But she’s got an old-school streak in her that includes family roots in Pittsfield, Mass., and a deep appreciation for Rosalind Russell. As her latest film, The Hunger Games, hit theaters, Banks sat down with Jacob Weisberg to answer his and Slate readers’ questions, including why she isn’t holding her breath for a sequel to Role Models and why she’s mistaken for Parker Posey. In Part 1 of our interview with Elizabeth Banks, she discusses the joys of working with Judd Apatow. And in Part 2, she explains how the best-selling parenting manual What to Expect When You’re Expecting was turned into a comedy. In the final segment, Banks talks about her future and how a Hollywood actress can age gracefully. |

Alec Baldwin’s Jack Donaghy might soon be reunited with his wife. After spending almost all of Season 6 off camera, and remaining a very big part of the storyline, Elizabeth Banks is set to reprise the recurring role of Avery Jessup on 30 Rock. The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Banks will appear in an episode of 30 Rock later this season. Though the exact timing is uncertain, sources confirm that it won’t be for the recently announced live episode on April 26. Banks, currently appearing as Effie Trinket in the blockbuster The Hunger Games, has 13 episodes of 30 Rock under her belt playing Jack’s journalist wife. Shortly after giving birth to their first child in Season 5, Avery was detained in North Korea while on assignment and forced to marry Kim Jong-un. There has been lingering questions over how the series would handle the Avery storyline — mostly pertaining to Korean dictator Kim Jong Il’s December death, which happened after much of the current season was already filmed. “We realized that, luckily, we hadn’t referred to King Jong Il by name yet — just to North Korea in general,” showrunner Robert Carlock said at the time. “The fun puzzle is turning around and trying to figure out how to get her out of there and how to continue things.” Most recently on the series, Jack tried to raise awareness about Avery’s situation by producing the made-for-TV movie, Kidnapped by Danger, in which Jenna (Jane Krakowski) played Avery. Mary Steenburgen has taken on the recurring role of Avery’s mother, Diana, since Banks was last on the show. |
