“I’m like an alcoholic,” she shrugs. “It’s like, I don’t care if I cry, I don’t care if I’m fat, I’m just gonna do it for one more week, one more month, and then, when I see how much good it is doing her, I can’t stop. Eet’s a very powerful thing you know.”

In Salma Hayek’s world, it’s straight-talking, power-broking, ball-busting movie-making. That and breast-feeding. Ay caramba!

It’s hard not to notice Salma Hayek’s bosoms. She is so very, very little, and though primly camouflaged this morning underneath her Gucci jacket and Balenciaga ruffle shirt, they do, as it were, precede her. On the other hand, given she is still breast-feeding (her daughter, Valentina, by the French businessman François-Henri Pinault, was born in September last year), perhaps that’s only to be expected. Wow. Breast-feeding for an entire year. I shouldn’t say this, but maybe that’s one of the reasons why she called off her wedding to the billionaire Pinault last July. I mean, that long? How does one possibly get anything else done? “Yeah, well, let me tell you it’s toff,” agrees Hayek, in that throaty Mexican accent of hers. “You don’t know what pain I’m in after two hours, how difficult it was at first. And by the way, the myth that says you lose all this weight when you breast-feed? That is sooo not true. Look,” she protests, grabbing her tummy and then reaching for the plate of biscuits the waiter has set down on the table, “it’s like, ‘Please, everyone, can you stop telling me I look really well?’ ”

The crowd couldn’t stop staring at Salma Hayek and her ex, billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault, at Sunday’s soccer game in the French city of Rennes.

But the two high-profile spectators only had eyes for each other.

“They were very together,” said one fan who sat near the couple as local team Rennes FC took on rival Sochaux. “They talked a lot during the match and exchanged tender looks. … They seemed very much in synch with each other.”

Hayek and Pinault, a luxury goods mogul, have a 2-year-old daughter, Valentina Paloma. They called off their engagement in July, just 10 months after her birth.

But in recent weeks, it seems the very private pair may be moving toward a reconciliation.

Just last month, Pinault and the 30 Rock guest star were spotted looking cozy in L.A. and back in his native France. (They spent a long weekend in Paris, and even attended a fashion show together.)

Their soccer outing in Rennes marked the couple’s first public appearance in Pinault’s hometown – a city of extreme importance in his family’s billion-dollar empire.

If there was any doubts before, it’s now official! We will, of course, have screencaps and videos of Salma’s episodes once they air.

Salma Hayek could be on the 30 Rock set as early as this week!

Her rep just confirmed to me that she will be shooting an upcoming appearance on the hit NBC series and it could be within the next few days.

Tina Fey asked Hayek to guest on the Emmy-winning series as “a character—not as herself” for two episodes, according to a report in the New York Post.
