Starring in the movie Baby Mama had its perks for Amy Poehler – like, making out with Dax Shepard. "Dax is a gem – one of my closest friends," Poehler told People at the comedy's premiere Wednesday night, as it kicked off the 7th annual Tribeca Film Festival in New York. "A couple make-out scenes didn't make the [final cut], which I was upset about," noted the Saturday Night Live regular, 36. But did Poehler's real-life husband, Will Arnett, grumble about her smooching with the sweet-faced Shepard – who plays her onscreen hubby? "Oh, they're good friends," she says. "He didn't mind."

The show, which was broadcast live on American cable network Comedy Central, also featured Matthew Broderick, Susan Sarandon, Tina Fey, Sarah Silverman, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler and chat show host Conan O'Brien.

Broderick said, "It's fun to be here. I'm a fan of 94 per cent of the performers. I'm always a little nervous. I hope it goes well."

The last autism special, which took place in 2006, raised almost $3 million (GBP1.5 million).

It's good to see fresh episodes of comedy – fresh episodes of anything – returning to the broadcast networks. (And for info on what'll happen in the next few weeks on "The Office," "30 Rock" and "Scrubs," go to the end of this item.)

“My Name Is Earl,” which comes back 7 p.m. Thursday on NBC, is celebrating with an hourlong episode called “I Won’t Die With a Little Help From My Friends.”

I’m generally inclined to give the show a pass – see the above statement regarding my happiness at comedy’s return. But I do wonder about what’s happened to “Earl” since it premiered.

Reese Witherspoon is to play a giant in a new animated battle movie.

The Oscar-winning actress will team up with Hugh Laurie, Seth Rogen and Kiefer Sutherland, among others, to voice quirky characters in Dreamworks' new Monsters Vs. Aliens film.

Witherspoon's character, Susan Murphy, becomes a 50-foot monster, dubbed Ginormia, after she's hit by a meteor from outer space.

She's captured by the U.S. military and taken to a top-secret compound, where other 'monsters' are kept.

These include the insect-headed Dr. Cockroach (Laurie) and half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link (Will Arnett). Sutherland will voice the aptly named General W.R. Monger.

The monsters team up to attack invading aliens.

Reese Witherspoon, Rainn Wilson, Hugh Laurie, Seth Rogen, Kiefer Sutherland and Will Arnett will lend their voices to Paramount Pictures' Monsters vs Aliens, which has been described as a reinvention of the classic 1950s monster movie into an irreverent modern-day action comedy, according to Usa Today. The DreamsWorks sci-fi spoof, landing March 27, 2009, also transforms a once-tacky Ike-era gimmick into an eye-popping 21st-century experience as the first computer-animated feature to be shot in 3-d. Inside they've scored the first pic from the movie.
