Kristen Wiig's fame and fortune isn't helping her much in the dating game – she's known her longtime boyfriend since she was 15!
"I like him a lot," says Wiig, 36, of actor and producer Brian Petsos, at a screening of her new movie MacGruber at Austin's South by Southwest Festival. "He's so terrific."
Wiig and Petsos, who also appears in the movie with Saturday Night Live castmate and pal Will Forte, have known each other for so long, it's his take that keeps her grounded.
"I still don't feel famous," she says. "But when I was just starting out in the business, I'd worry about what I said or what people thought. He's helping me a lot with that. His take is, 'Who cares?' "

Why Betty White Is Perfect for SNL

When you've got it, you've got it. And Betty White's got it. Saturday Night Live has picked a host who not only knows how to get the laughs, but is admired by the sketch show's cast.
When it comes to her knack for comedy, White's opening skit on Tuesday's Tonight Show, in which Jay Leno walks in on the 88-year-old actress showering in her dressing room, is case in point.
"It's okay, Jay, I'm not shy," White tells an apolgetic Leno as she peers out from behind the curtain and smiles innocently.
"Neither am I," says Hugh Jackman, poking his head out from the other side of the shower. "Can you pass me that loofah?"

SNL Star Gets Psyched for Michael Phelps

Saturday Night Live castmember Kristen Wiig is counting the minutes until the NBC show returns this weekend. One big reason? The season's first host.
"I'm excited to meet Michael Phelps!" she told PEOPLE at a bash celebrating her film Ghost Town at the Toronto Film Festival. "He's gonna be naked in all the sketches I write, for sure."
But the 23-year-old Phelps, who won an astonishing eight gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics, will still have plenty of costume changes.
"There are some people that you can just picture with a wig on and it's funny," she said at the event sponsored by Hollywood Life magazine. "He's one of those people."
