by Rebecca Pahle | 2:25 pm, May 8th, 2013

OK, OK, so their characters do, not the actresses themselves.

In other news: This means Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will be in Anchorman: The Legend Continues, which I don’t think we knew before. We did know Kristen Wiig will be co-starring, though. Bring on the funny.

Amy Poehler recently got the chance to sit down with comedy writer/producer Irma Kalish for her webseries Smart Girls. It was a pretty big deal for Poehler considering Kalish is a significant trailblazer for women in comedy. Take a look at their chat, it’s enlightening and sweet.

Tina Fey Says “No Way” to Hosting the Oscars

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:35 pm, February 27th, 2013

“I just feel like that gig is so hard. Especially for, like, a woman—the amount of months that would be spent trying on dresses alone … no way.” — Tina Fey, asked whether her Golden Globes hosting gig and an endorsement by William Shatner might lead to her and Amy Poehler hosting the Oscars next year.

Told that the interviewer “was hoping for at least ‘a one in a million chance,’” Fey responded “I wish I could tell you there was.”

Welp. There you go. It was a nice dream while it lasted.

Amanda Recaps… Last Month [And Needs Your Imaginations! Yes, Yours!]

by Amanda LaPergola | 2:02 pm, February 22nd, 2013

Editor’s Note: We ask contributing writer Amanda LaPergola to report on the world of pop culture with her unique style and insights. Sometimes she does something like that.

“You cannot force this kind of creative process,” she told us once. “It needs to evolve on its own. It’s like Pokémon. You just can’t say to a Pokémon ‘Hey, Pokémon! Be a different Pokémon!’ and expect it to evolve. That is not how it works. First, it needs to spend time jammed up in a constrictive red and white ball. Then, you let it out occasionally to fight other Pokémon to near-death. With time and encouragement, your Pokémon will grow and change from a weird little hamster-thing to a weird little hamster-thing with antlers. And then you get to eat it. I think. I’ve never played Pokémon. Anyway, what was saying? Oh yeah, can you pay for this coffee?”

That was four months ago. We had not heard from Amanda since.

However, just yesterday, a package arrived at Mary Sue headquarters containing what appeared to be a note from Amanda’s mom (“Dear Miss Sue: Please excuse my daughter’s absence over the past few months. She wants me to tell you she had mono, but really she has been searching the internet for the secret fourth season of Downton Abbey she believes Queen Elizabeth is keeping to herself”) and the following pages…

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Get Their Golden Globe On, Lets Watch

by Susana Polo | 10:19 am, January 14th, 2013

This video will enable you to have conversations about the funny jokes in the Golden Globes today even if you didn’t watch it. (For one tiny piece of context, the clip that starts at about the two minute mark took place just after Lena Dunham was awarded the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Comedy over fellow nominees Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Zooey Deschanel, and Julia Louise-Dreyfus, and thanked her fellow nominees for being some of her biggest role models (and also for “getting her through middle school.”)

But it wasn’t just Tina and Amy who were in fine form last night. In case you’re wondering why everybody’s talking about Tommy Lee Jones and Grumpy Cat today, here’s why:

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Talk Golden Globes, Imaginary Conversations with Angelina Jolie

by Susana Polo | 9:31 am, January 4th, 2013

Somebody managed to edit out all the interview questions from this clip, but leave in all the awkward post-answer pauses. Somehow this only makes Fey and Poehler more funny.

Things We Saw Today: Jurassic Park, Redesigned

Forget that Tyrannosaur. Everybody knows that velociraptors and kids were the real stars of Jurassic Park. (MondoTees)

Benedict Cumberbatch, The Hunger Games, Other Geek-Friendly Things Pick Up Golden Globe Nominations

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:47 am, December 13th, 2012

This morning saw the announcement of the nominees for the 2013 Golden Globe Awards, the lighter, boozier, less important cousin of the Oscars. (Hey, it makes a difference that attendees can drink at the former but not the latter.) Typical awards season films like Lincoln and Silver Linings Playbook picked up plenty of noms, but so did some more niche-interest (read: Geeky) fare.

The awards show, taking place on January 13th, is being hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. They did a short video promoting the Globes, which you can check out under the jump along with a rundown of the geeky movies, people, and shows to be nominated.
