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 »

For those of you who are still grieving the loss of Mad Men, there is a faint light at the end of the tunnel. Jon Hamm is hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend with Rihanna as musical guest! I mean, it won’t be just like watching Don Draper, but sometimes in hardships one must make sacrifices. But that is not all SNL has to offer this upcoming week… More »
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 »

Our bucket list of dream Saturday Night Live hosts includes Tina Fey, Betty White, Alec Baldwin, Jon Hamm, Justin Timberlake and Amy Poehler, so you better believe we were pretty psyched to learn that former castmember Amy will be hosting the sketch comedy show’s 36th season premiere on September 25 with musical guest Katy Perry. 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 »
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 »
Congrats to Amy Poehler and Will Arnett on Bringing Another Terrible Baby Name Into the World – Abel? Really? After Archie Arnett? Okay, it’s still better than Audio Science, but that kid is going to get a lot of people telling him to watch out for his brother. (via PopEater)
Internet celebrities mixed with Hollywood celebrities on the red carpet of last night’s 14th Annual Webby Awards, the biggest event capping off New York’s Internet Week. A very pregnant Amy Poehler posed with Arianna Huffington, and Amy’s husband Will Arnett, looking a little scruffy, joked his way down the red carpet. “What are the Webbys?” he asked. More »
We’ve been having an internal office debate this week over Betty White. Sure, we loved her on Golden Girls, and that Facebook campaign to get her on Saturday Night Live was pretty ingenious, but now that she’s going to be on the late night sketch comedy show tonight, we’re wondering — do we really care? Amanda says yes, Betty is a national treasure and a brilliant comedienne who will knock tonight’s SNL appearance out of the park. But Erin is… More »

File under awwwwwww: Baby No. 2 is on the way for Amy Poehler and Will Arnett, the couple’s representative tells Crushable.
Their publicist, Lewis Kay, provided no further details. The comedy power duo have a son, Archie, born in October 2008; they met on the sketch-comedy circuit and married in 2003.
One question: If Amy’s pregnancy were to be written into NBC’s increasingly hilarious Parks and Recreation, who might be the baby daddy? Crushable’s Amanda Ernst suggests Chris Pratt’s Andy Dwyer or… More »
“Saturday Night Live” had a Monday night, Election Eve special Presidential Bash to (obviously) celebrate the FANTASTIC election spoofs that the entire cast has been doing. All the fake and REAL candidates stopped by, from the real Sarah Palin and John McCain to Fred Armisen’s Obama Amy Poehler’s Hillary Clinton (it was pretaped, since Amy had her baby last Saturday and that was her last SNL appearance, unfortunately).
First, here’s Will Forte’s John Edwards stopped by to explain his affair and… More »

Happy Wednesday, Snarky fans! So, this morning, my dog Harley decided to give me a little gift on the carpet in form of PUKE. He looked really apologetic afterwards, and even offered to clean it up for me WITH HIS TONGUE, because that’s how much he loves me, but I told him no, thanks. And cleaned it up like a sucker. He’s now lying in front of the fire showing me his Doggy DingDong and snoring.
Well! Let’s get to… More »
