Salma Hayek is only the latest A-list celeb to make a cameo appearance on 30 Rock.

Photogs caught up with the well-endowed actress filming scenes with co-star Alec Baldwin at the Cadman Plaza Park in Brooklyn Heights today.

In the scene, Baldwin’s character visit Salma’s family picnic. In between takes, Hayek played the role of doting mother with daughter Valentina Pinault.

Show producer Tina Fey reportedly asked Salma to guest on the Emmy-winning series as “a character—not as herself” for two episodes.

Salma joins an ever-growing list of stars making their 30 Rock debut this season, including Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Aniston and Al Gore.

The show may air as early as next week!

Salma Hayek added some star power today at the launch of a UNICEF campaign to eradicate tetanus in mothers and babies around the world within four years.

During the press conference today in Geneva, Switzerland, the Hollywod mom recounted her experiences during a recent trip to the West African nation of Sierra Leone, where she met with tetanus victims.

Said Salma: “One of the things that was very moving about the trip was to see 15-year-old girls, really young, taking responsibility for their lives and their children before they’re born by saying ‘I am going to be healthy, I am going to take this vaccination. I had no idea how much this was going to really personally move me.”

The program has already provided over 50 million vaccines to mothers and babies in developing countries.

We’re not psychics but Salma Hayek and ex-fiance Francois Henri Pinault are officially back together.

First we saw them together all over Paris Fashion Week.

Now comes news (and an images courtesy of OK! Spain to boot!) showing the couple on holiday in Sevill last month with their adorable one-year-old daughter Valentina. Salma was in Spain to attend the exclusive Vanity Fair party.

The couple had ended their 15-month engagement in July this year because of the long distance between them.

Is it now a case of distance-makes-the-heart-grow-fonder for these two crazy kids?

Stay tuned!

Salma Hayek and ex-fiancé Francois-Henri Pinault continue to spark rumours of a reconciliation as they attended the Balenciaga runway show during Paris Fashion Week today.

The couple has been stepping out a lot together in recent weeks. First they were spotted together in Los Angeles. Then they spent a low-key week in Paris bonding with their one-year-old daughter Valentina Paloma.

Says a source of their latest public outing? “[They were] very friendly together, looking happy. They weren’t holding hands but were definitely side by side.”

Cross your fingers for a reunion. After all, don’t we all love a happy ending?

They may be seperated but they’re certainly not estranged.

Single mom Salma Hayek was seen making a visit to the offices of ex-fiance and babydaddy, Francois-Henri Pinault, today in Paris.

Joined by her adorable 1-year-old daughter Valentina, the 42-year-old actress was on hand to allow some quality bonding time between father and daughter following a 5 month seperation.

While Salma gears up to produce The New McToms, a new family comedy for FOX, and a wedding-themed reality program for Merv Griffin Entertainment, her adorable bundle of joy will stay at Pinault’s luxury apartment in Paris.

No word on whether Valentina will be calling that woman Pinault was seening macking in Tuscany step-mom.

The ladies of Vicky Cristina Barcelona had jaws fully dropped when they hit the red carpet last night for the premiere of the highly anticipated Woody Allen flick at the Mann Village Theatre on in Westwood, CA.

Penelope Cruz displayed sartorial sophistication in a midnight blue plunging gown. The criss cross front gown had shirred chiffon tied on the waist that cascaded down the left side. She accessorized with blue drop earrings, a matching blue ring on the left hand index finger, a thin bracelet on her right arm and a black clutch.

Meanwhile, costar Scarlett Johansson looked striking in an off shoulder scarlet flowing chiffon gown by Monique Lhullier, which had a gathered neckline and was cinched at the waist to accentuate her shape. She accessorized with silver peep-toe heels, multi pendant necklace and of course her engagement ring from fiancé Ryan Reynolds.

In theaters August 15, Vicky Cristina Barcelona casts Scarlett as an emotionally and sexually adventurous American woman in Barcelona who becomes romantically entangled with a charismatic painter (played by new Oscar winner Javier Bardem) and his tempestuous ex-wife (played by Penelope).

Salma Hayek looked better than ever as she stepped out in Beverly Hills with her 10-month-old daughter Valentina yesterday, only days after calling off her engagement.

Last month, the 41-year-old beauty announced she had called off her engagement to French billionaire François-Henri Pinaul.

So, where is Valentina’s daddy? Nearly 6000 miles away in Paris where he’s heading a slew of luxurt brands, including Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga.

But worry not — Miss Hayek and her adorable daughter are now expected to benefit from a multi-million dollar settlement from Mr Pinault.

SALMA MOVES ON WITH NEW LOVE

Salma Hayek regroups with the support of her family after announcing split from fiance Francois-Henri Pinault a few days ago.

The couple announced their plans to wed in March 2007, and welcomed daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault, several months later. Mexican-born Hayek and French billionaire Pinault have spent a lot of time apart, as they both are very ambitious and successful career people; Salma, based in Los Angeles, and Pinault committed to his life and work in Europe.

Fortunately, Salma looks far from devastated, and seems to be completely riveted by her precious daughter. Hayek said earlier this year: “I don’t have a need for marriage. You want to grow old with someone, you want to have a partner and to have children - we have all those things. Some people need the commitment. Maybe we’ll just have the party!”

Having kept a very low profile during her pregnancy, new mom Salma Hayek is enjoying the fruits of her labour.

The 41-year-old actress took her baby daughter Valentina Paloma shopping and then for a spot of lunch in Malibu accompanied by her fiancé and the father of her child Francois-Henri Pinault.

After giving birth last September, Salma looked radiant and in shape as she strolled through the city with her daughter firmly perched on her hips.

Meanwhile, little Valentina looked every inch the mini celebrity as she was not fazed by the paparazzi or the fans flocking around her and her mother.
