Video: Will Arnett Mocks Gingers On Conan
It’s hard to tell if Will Arnett‘s grumpy demeanor on last night’s Conan was an act or not, especially once he started ribbing Conan O’Brien for every red object in the studio. But there’s one topic the two were equally glad to lampoon: Gingers. More »
In Honor Of Amy Poehler: Our Favorite Strong Women On TV This Season
he Arrested Development reunion (and your subsequent realization that now you have to shell out for Showtime) isn’t the only news to come out of this weekend’s New Yorker Festival. At her interview with Ariel Levy on Friday night, Amy Poehler asserted television’s superiority over movies, particularly in the area of multifaceted female characters.
“I think films are kind of catching up in a way to where television has been for a long time. Television is still, in my opinion, the best place for female characters,” opined Poehler.
We’re inclined to agree — sure, this has been a banner year for female-focused movies, but television has been rocking the lady-led shows for a while now. Just look at Lorelai on Gilmore Girls or The Wire’s Kima or take your pick of the four besties mini-genre: Sex and the City, Golden Girls, or Designing Women. In fact, television is building on the precedent those shows have set with a current crop of female heroines that are, frankly, killing it, including (especially) Poehler’s own Leslie Knopes on Parks & Recreation. Let’s check out some of the rest of the best.

The Best Comedic Actress Emmy Was The Highlight Of The Show

Gallery: Our Idiot Brother Premiere or Garden Party?
The premiere for Our Idiot Brother, the flick starring Paul Rudd as a ne’er-do-well who screws up the lives of his three sisters, went down in Los Angeles last night. Although you might not know it from the premiere photos, which makes the event look like an afternoon garden party. I’ll have all the cucumber finger sandwiches, no crusts, please. More »

Snap This: Amy Poehler’s NY Mag Shoot Is Incredible
Girlhero Amy Poehler graces the cover of NY Magazine this month, and her accompanying photo spread features several images that parody the horrendous trend of Photoshopping women into unrecognizable blobs of plastic. One of the images (see them all here) has the note “make neck smarter,” for which we have several suggestions: More »

Last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, some of Jimmy’s former Saturday Night Live castmates came on.

‘Parks And Recreation’ Season 3: What Is On Ron Swanson’s Pyramid Of Greatness?
NBC’s Parks and Recreation is back on after a delay of like, forever; finally filling that Adam Scott-less void in our hearts. Sure we’ve been amused by the Rob Lowe on-set faux-meltdowns, and the pictures of Amy Poehler as a candy stripe nurse, but nothing can compare to the real thing. We’re talking, of course, about Ron Swanson.
Last night reminded us that we all need to step up our game and try to become a little more like the mustachioed lumberjack who begrudgingly runs Pawnee’s park department. And thanks to the introduction of Swanon’s Pyramid of Greatness, we now have the perfect building blocks to become the kind of person that thinks fish meat is “basically a vegetable” and crying is only acceptable “at funerals and the Grand Canyon.” But what else was on the Swanson Pyramid? We took a closer look. More »
Amy Poehler Used To Be A Hospital Model!
We still can’t believe that these images weren’t taken as part of some viral campaign to promote tonight’s 3rd season premiere Parks and Recreation. But Tumblrette Franny-Glass found the photos of comedy star Amy Poehler dressed as some sort of terrifyingly chipper candy-stripe girl in Getty Images’ stock photography section, and who are we to say that 10 years ago Amy wasn’t struggling to make ends meet and turned to the sordid world of catalogue modeling to pay the bills? We’ve all been there girl. (Via Buzzfeed) More »

Sad, Exhausted Models Take New Zealand
There’s something weirdly depressing about this photo of two hollow-eyed models backstage at the Nom*D fashion show in New Zealand. It’s like someone took an American Apparel ad, doused it in a Japanese horror film and let it soak in a vat of Eastern European prostitution ring. We’re reminded of this Amy Poehler quote from a recent interview in Salon:
“I’m over this weird, exhausted girl. I’m over the girl that’s tired and freezing and hungry. I like bossy girls, I always have. I like people filled with life. I’m over this weird media thing with all this, like, hollow-eyed, empty, party crap.” More »

We expect a Weekend Update moment with Seth Meyers and cameos from at least Tina and — fingers crossed – Jimmy Fallon. A girl can dream, can’t she? More »
Who Is Trying To Cut Themselves A Little Slice Of Hamm?
Ruh-roh! Jennifer Westfeldt is going to be soooo pissed when she checks out this picture of longtime boyfriend Jon Hamm grinding next to some anono-lady after the Emmys at Jimmy Fallon’s after-party! Luckily it just looks like he’s back up into Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler’s got momma bear face on, to make sure no one touches that luscious hunk of Hamm, but we still think that lady in white better watch out if she knows what’s best for her!… More »
