Jen is coming back to primetime for a guest apearance on NBC’s 30 Rock.

A source confirmed to E! that “She is shooting now,” but they will not give out any specifics on her character.

The episode will air this season.

Jane Krakowski, star of “30 Rock” on NBC, is on the cover of Page Six Magazine this Sunday, June 22, in an homage to classic 1930s pinup illustrator Gil Elvgren.

Page Six Magazine is free inside the Sunday New York Post.

Inside the mag, Jane strikes a pose in photos inspired by Elgren’s work, which also lends inspiration to Krakowski’s new flick, “Kit Kittredge: An American Girl” – in theaters on July 2 – which is also set in the American 1930s.

In the article, Krakowski talks about her Broadway and London stage-training (for which she won a Tony in 2003), and about her role in “Kit Kittridge,” in which she stars opposite Stanley Tucci, Juliette Binoche, and Joan Cusack.

Don’t miss it in this Sunday’s New York Post.
