Tina Fey Bashes Lean Cuisine, Defends Bras, on “Inside the Actor’s Studio”

Tina Fey kicked off Season 19 of James Lipton's famed Inside the Actor's Studio with impressions (trademark Palin, passable Lorne Michaels) and some advice for women: always wear bras, never eat Lean Cuisine. Also: if Michaels didn't have such a nice apartment, we might have never seen Fey's Palin. Vulture has the rundown, plus video. [NY Mag]

Tina Fey Will Not Replace Lorne Michaels On SNL

What will Upper Darby homegirl Tina Fey do now that 30 Rock is done? Lots! She's got a new movie coming out with Paul Rudd, and is preparing to co-star with The Muppets in their next cinematic outing. What she won't do: Try to take over for legendary producter Lorne Michaels when he finally leaves the helm of  Saturday Night Live, a role he's held so long we had actually forgotten it was possible for anybody else to hold it.
 
 
Here's the relevant segment of her interview with Huffington Post:

VIDEO: Tina Fey Wins SAG Award

Quick warning: You'll probably see a lot of Upper Darby homegirl Tina Fey in The Scoop this week: 30 Rock, her masterpiece, airs its series finale on Thursday night, and we're going to be misty-eyed about the local woman made good.

VIDEO: Tina Fey Thinks Twitter Sucks

Normally, Upper Darby homegirl Tina Fey can do no wrong. But her video-blog rant against Twitter, while funny, is … wrong. Yes, there are a lot of boring people on Twitter. There are also many interesting people on Twitter. And you, Tina Fey, would probably be one of the interesting ones. [Jonathan Chait]
 
 

Golden Globes Recap: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

A recap of Sunday night's triumphs ... and shames.

Within moments of the start of the 70th annual Golden Globes, I knew that I wanted Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to host every awards show from this point on. (Well, that, and to be my friends.) Smart, hilarious, wicked: They showed—unlike Ricky Gervais or Sacha Baron Cohen—that being mean isn't a requisite for being funny. Even when their jokes were barbed, their aw shucks demeanor lessened the blow.
 
 

Watch: Tina Fey’s 30 Rock Almost Went Horribly Wrong

You know the Hollywood legends about how certain shows were brilliant until the network suits got ahold of it? You may want to reconsider them after viewing part of the original pilot for Tina Fey's 30 Rock, starring Rachel Dratch as the character we've all come to know and love in the version played by her replacement, Jane Krakowski.  We generally think Upper Darby homegirl Fey can do no wrong, but this version is—as AV Club points out—a bit unsettling. Especially the toilet humor. You're not better than that, Fey, but you're better than that. Luckily, second chances were given

Liz Lemon and Chriss Chross Are Getting Married

Liz Lemon is officially off the market. In an episode set to drop on November 29, local girl Tina Fey's beloved 30 Rock character will tie the knot with her off-beat, gourmet organic hot-dog peddling love interest, Chrisstopher Rick Chross. Finally, after years of failed love attempts with everyone from the Carol Burnett to Dr. Drew Baird, Lemon is forever alone no more. So, to any of you guys out there who thought you had a shot with a fictional character, uh, sorry. [AP]

Tina Fey Hosting the Golden Globes Is So 2006

Upon hearing that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were named hosts for the Golden Globes, I felt ambivalent. This, I assure you, is a good sign.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Are Hosting the Golden Globes

Upper Darby native, 30 Rock actress, SNL alum, and the evil genius behind the instant classic, Mean Girls, Tina Fey, will be co-hosting the 2013 Golden Globes with her partner in crime, Parks and Recreation star Amy Poehler. The award-show-drinking-game season just got a whole lot funnier. If Seth MacFarlane didn't sound like a poor choice for the Oscars before... [Hollywood Reporter]

Upper Darby Budget Cuts Could Eliminate the Next Tina Fey

How many miracles can one hill hope for? Just two months ago, in Drexel Hill, Monsignor Bonner and Archbishop Prendergast high schools were saved from an announced closing in dramatic fashion when a community marshaled its resources, prayers and manpower to win an appeal. They called it the "miracle on the hill."
