Tina Fey: Liz Lemon Really a Bumbling Carrie Bradshaw
Originally posted 10/07/2009 01:50PM
Dorothy Parker may have said, "Men seldom makes passes at girls who wear glasses," but for Tina Fey, her spectacles are a badge of honor – most of the time.
"I don't wear them when I am dressed up, because then I would look like Tootsie," the Emmy-winning 30 Rock creator and star tells Harper's Bazaar for its November issue.
In fact, Liz Lemon, Fey's alter ego on her NBC sitcom, might soon "start taking her glasses off more and more," she says. And less glasses would be a good thing for Lemon, whom Fey, 39, perceives as Sex and the City heroine Carrie Bradshaw's bumbling alter ego.

Family Guy Helps Make Emmy History
Originally posted 07/16/2009 08:40AM
While Emmy didn't bite HBO's vampire hit True Blood for any of the major categories, Family Guy became the first animated series since The Flintstones in 1961 to be nominated as best comedy series – which will pit it against a record six other programs, it was announced Thursday morning.
Besides the often outrageous adventures of the Griffin family, the outstanding comedy series nominees are Entourage, Flight of the Conchords, How I Met Your Mother, The Office, 30 Rock and Weeds.
Dramatic series nominees are Big Love, Breaking Bad, Damages, Dexter, House, Lost and Mad Men.

Presidential polls are like, so 2008. Which perhaps is why AOL's men's lifestyle site Asylum.com recently asked who is the celebrity most guys wish to party with.
Of the more than 83,000 respondents, 40 percent named Megan Fox, while 31 percent chose Tina Fey.
Trailing the Transformers star and the 30 Rock lifeforce, respectively – and by quite a distance – are Paris Hilton, Penélope Cruz, Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan.

Sarah Palin Hits Back at 'Salacious' Media Coverage
Originally posted 01/09/2009 03:00PM
Gov. Sarah Palin is off the campaign trail – but she's still feeling the heat from the media coverage of her family and candidacy.
In a new interview for conservative filmmaker John Ziegler's documentary, Media Malpractice ... How Obama Got Elected, Palin addresses Katie Couric and why she appeared on Saturday Night Live after many sketches skewered her.
"I never saw the interview after Katie edited it," Palin says in an excerpt from the documentary that was made available on YouTube. (Watch above.) "My understanding was so many more topics that were brought up weren't portrayed as accurately as they should have been."
More pointedly, the governor turns feisty when asked why she could not answer Couric's now-infamous question about her reading habits.

Tina Fey Reveals Trauma Behind Her Scar
Originally posted 12/01/2008 03:00PM
Since shooting to fame and winning Emmys as the star and creator of 30 Rock, Tina Fey has remained quiet about the dramatic story behind the faint scar that lines that left side of her face.
"It's impossible to talk about it without somehow seemingly exploiting it and glorifying it," Fey, 38, tells Vanity Fair in its January issue.
But when she was 5, the future TV star was playing in the front yard of her Upper Darby, Penn., home when a stranger approached the young Fey and violently cut her cheek.
"She just thought somebody marked her with a pen," says her husband, Jeff Richmond.

Tina Fey, Move Over: The REAL Sarah Palin Comes to SNL
Originally posted 10/17/2008 01:00PM
For weeks, the laugh has been on her. Now, it’s Sarah Palin’s turn.
The Republican vice presidential candidate – and Tina Fey's alter ego – will appear on Saturday Night Live this weekend with guest host Josh Brolin, the McCain-Palin campaign has confirmed.
It’s still hush-hush exactly what Palin will do on the comedy show: Will she partner with Brolin’s wickedly spot-on impersonation of President Bush, as showcased in the actor's new film, W.?
Or, will she stick to sticking it to Fey, whose wickedly spot-on impersonation of Palin has helped shoot the show's ratings skyward.

Tina Fey Signs Mega-Bucks Book Deal

Funny money, indeed!
Saturday Night Live alum Tina Fey – whose NBC show, 30 Rock, just scored four Emmys – has signed a book deal with Little, Brown Book Group, the Associated Press reported Monday.
There is no official word on how much Fey will be pocketing for her work – pitched as more humor than memoir. But earlier this week, the New York Post reported that competing publishers were offering close to $6 million.
The mother-of-one has recently won raves for her dead-on impersonations of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

There She Goes Again: Tina Fey Returns as Sarah Palin
Originally posted 10/05/2008 07:30AM
Forget James Garner and Mel Gibson. The new "Maverick" star is Tina Fey.
As Sarah Palin, of course.
The Emmy-winning 30 Rock creator, writer and star yet again returned to her former stomping grounds to open this weekend's Saturday Night Live as the doppelganger for the GOP vice-presidential candidate.
Mimicking Thursday night's debate between Alaska Gov. Palin and Democratic veep candidate Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, the sketch had SNL regular Jason Sudeikis as Biden – repeatedly spouting statistics and proclaiming his love for John McCain – and guest star Queen Latifah as debate moderator Gwen Ifill, of PBS.
