Nerve Insider : Tina Fey

Interview with the “Baby Mama” Crew

Now this would be a tough “Who Would You Rather?”: Tina Fey versus Amy Poehler. I’m not even going to try to decide; it would rip my mind in two. Lucky editor Gwynne Watkins didn’t have to choose, however. Over at our lil’ sister site, Babble, she got to interview both funny women:

Can you talk about the first time you met and what you thought of each other? Was your chemistry instant, or has it evolved over the years?
Amy: I was like, I finally found the woman I want to marry.
Tina: And then I had to break it to her that that's not legal.

Check out the full interview here. And, do you like to hear real women talk about stuffing their faces? (With food, yo.) Of course you do. Here are Amy and Tina, talking food and smack with each other…

And here's Amy on "rude people" (aka Tina):

Video of the Day: SNL Does Rock of Love 2, Amber Rocks One Leg

This is for all my fellow Rock of Love 2 addicts out there. I know, I know, you can almost catch an STD just from DVRing the show, but I can’t help it! I’m just waiting for the day one of those crazy drunk strippers knocks Bret’s bandana off.

Here’s SNL’s take on this season. If only, if only, if only Amber really were rocking one leg…And if only Bret really said lines like, “Remember what I told you: I need to get to know the inside of your mouth better.”

In Other Blogs: Tina Fey for President! Or, at least, 2009 Oscars Host…

Scanner asks the ladies: does Seasonale, the birth control pill that limits your period to four times a year, freak you out? Scanner Emily (and myself) say, “Hell’s yeah!” So does Tina Fey. Check out SNL’s skit for “Annuale,” in which they imagine what life on Seasonale is like. Kudos to Kristen Wiig for the total, utter commitment to her craft. In other words: for tongue-kissing a dog.

Scanner also recaps the Oscars, looking at the good (hot ladies, hot dresses…and the winners), the bad (ABC removed Scott Rudin's loving reference to his "partner" from the transcript of his Best Picture acceptance speech), and the future (Tina Fey for Oscar host ’09!). Plus: Beer! Is there anything it can’t do?; vibrator ad of the day; architectural porn; the vampire Lestat might suck on…religion?; and check out Skully’s secret Mulder fantasies.

Screengrab also brings us their Top Five Oscar moments…which don’t include (but maybe should) Gary Busey attempting to make out with Jennifer Garner. Yes, there’s video! Plus: cartooning the sixties; Michael Bay and his awesome self; the 2008 Independent Spirit Awards; and today’s ruinous trailer review…

And on the Nerve Video Blog, Jimmy Kimmel strikes back…and is funny! Now he’s f*cking Ben Affleck; we’re just happy to see Huey Lewis working again. Also check out: Soulja Boy grandmas; Tina Fey on Hillary Clinton; a four-and-a-half-year-old-rock star; the first-ever (?) PILF; and Ukrainian drag queens from space. Happy Monday!
