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.

Here’s our first look at Tina Fey in her role as a Russian prison guard for the movie that is still being called The Muppets… Again!. The frog next to her, whatever you might think, is likely the jewel-thieving Constantine, a dead ringer for Kermit T. Frog.

Remember how Tina Fey said that she was trying to get a Mean Girls musical made with her husband Jeff Richmond, who wrote the songs for 30 Rock? And then we didn’t hear anything else about it, because musicals aren’t exactly a quick thing to put together, and Tina Fey’s all busy with movies and the like?

Well, Mean Girls fans, gird your loins, because an intrepid reporter at Vulture cornered Richmond at the premiere for Fey’s new movie and grilled him about the musical. And yes, he and Fey are hard at work on it. He swears.

“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.

Are you following The Mary Sue on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, & Google +?

Or maybe it’s just a poster for Season 3 that even I could have thrown together in Photoshop. Or Gimp. Because I don’t even have Photoshop. (Empire)

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…

Liz Lemon gets her own fro-yo! I’m not 100% sure about this flavor combination… but I’m definitely willing to try it. The Lemon fro-yo with blueberry lavender swirl won’t be out until sometime this spring, which is good, because it’s reeeeally not ice cream weather in New York right now.

Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive photo of the Muppets on a whirlwind tour of Europe set to comprise the initial plot of what is being called The Muppets…Again!, a title full of all the punctuation that Star Trek Into Darkness is missing. Seriously. That’s a dumb title, The Muppets…Again! I don’t care how good you generally are are at self-referential 4th wall breaking. See? Nobody can even tell that that was two sentences. I’m not putting a non-italicized period just after an italicized exclamation point. That’s just gross.

But I forgive you, because you’ve confirmed that Tina Fey is your female lead.

Don’t break out the boombox with “Jingle Bell Rock” queued up on CD that you keep at all times for emergencies just yet. But you might want to start imagining how the show-stopping opener “Regina George is Flawless” will go. Tina Fey is trying to get a Mean Girls musical made.

Tina Fey is not on Twitter, guys. I say this because my initial title for this post was “Tina Fey on Twitter” but I realized that could be pretty easily misconstrued, since the actress has yet to join service. Man. I just hope she gives us a Twitter license. How else are we going to wish her a happy birthday?
