Watch: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on Hosting the Golden Globes

Jan 4, 2013 @ 10:57 am

The hosts for this year’s Golden Globes are really excited about their upcoming gig! “Well, we decided to host because the Golden Globes seem like they’re pretty fun,” Amy Poehler says in a new promotional video—a follow-up to the initial one—for the January 13 awards show. “Yeah. We’ve been to them before, and it’s kind of a sloppy, loud party,” Tina Fey echoes. “And that seemed like our kind of thing.” The hilarious ladies put on very serious faces as they discuss their hopes and dreams for the evening, which are quite ambitious indeed. “I don’t think this has ever happened before, but I would love to win Best Picture,” Fey says. “Like, just me personally winning Best Picture. I think that would be unprecedented, especially because I didn’t really make a movie this year.” There’s also a lot of discussion of photobombing, the movie Avatar, and Angelina Jolie. Watch the witty clip above, and tune in to NBC on Sunday, January 13th at 8/7c to see the power comedy duo in action!

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Premiere Their First Golden Globes Promo!

Dec 14, 2012 @ 10:15 am

Move aside nominees, the comedy duo of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler is going to make the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards worth watching alone! In the first promo video for the show, the ladies—decked out in award show-worthy glittering gold gowns inspired by Old Hollywood—express their excitement as they prepare for what they call “the greatest celebrity party slash awards show in all of Hollywood.” The pair struck up a friendship when they first studied improv comedy together in Chicago 20 years ago, and their palpable camaraderie translates on screen whenever they appear together (Mean Girls, SNL, Baby Mama, anyone?!), which is why we’re counting down the days to see them hit the Globes stage. Watch the promo above and tune in to NBC on Sunday, January 13th at 8/7c to see the power comedy duo in action!

Thom Filicia on His American Beauty Interior Design Book and Tina Fey

Interior designer Thom Filicia was never one to mince words on Bravo’s hit series, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, but he’s showing a different side in his just-released interior design book, American Beauty: Renovating and Decorating A Beloved Retreat (Clarkson Potter, $45). The tome uses photography to tell the story of how Filicia discovered a home in serious need of a makeover on Skaneateles Lake in Central New York, where he spent much of his childhood. Filicia bought the house and spent nearly two years doing renovations. We caught up with Thom to hear more about the project and get his interior design advice. “The house was just charming and simple enough that it could have a slightly modern aesthetic,” Filicia told InStyle.com. “It’s on a really beautiful piece of property in a community that is very special to me.” And his own witty tone isn’t the only humor found in the book: Reigning queen of comedy Tina Fey, a long time fan of Thom’s, wrote the foreword. “Tina is a fabulous woman,” Filicia told InStyle.com. “She’s just really cool—very down to earth, relaxed, and smart.” And what about us mere mortals interested in tackling our own interior design project? “Put your stamp on it!” Filicia said. “Make it feel like it is an honest and authentic extension of who you are and what you’re about. Putting that personal stamp on an interior turns a space into a space with a soul.” Buy a copy of his book for yourself and pick up a few as holiday gifts!

Funny girls Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have been tapped by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to co-host the 70th Golden Globe Awards on NBC! The hilarious duo worked together for years on Saturday Night Live—Weekend Update, anyone?—and first forged a strong friendship when they were both members of Chicago comedy troupe, Second City. “I met Amy at an improv class in Chicago 15 years ago,” Fey told InStyle in her May 2007 cover story. “She’s an awesome improviser and friend.” We can’t wait to see the gal pals back in action when the Golden Globes air live on January 13, 2013.

Tina Fey Turns 42! See Her Transformation

May 18, 2012 @ 10:25 am

Tina Fey turns 42 today! Born Elizabeth Stamatina Fey, the writer and actress has gone from shaggy-haired Saturday Night Live scribe to the star of her own Emmy-winning show 30 Rock. ”I had a pretty rough puberty,” the Upper Darby, Pennsylvania native has said. “Growing up as a girl is always traumatizing, especially when you have the deadly combination of greasy skin and getting your boobs at 10.” Today, the mother-of-two and Bossypants author is head-turning beautiful, or as pal Rachel Dratch called her, “a total hottie.” See the funny lady’s amazing beauty evolution in the gallery.

Tina Fey: ‘Great Makeup Artists Need These Four Things’

May 11, 2012 @ 11:00 am

Tina Fey thanked two of the most important people in her life last night—her makeup artists! As she honored her 30 Rock behind-the-scenes magicians Jenn Jorge Nelson and Julie Teel at an event hosted by the New York Women in Film and Television, Fey touched on the four specific skills needed to be a great makeup artist: “I think you need the patience of Job, you need the eyes of an artist, the hands of a surgeon, and the firm but tactful demeanor of a women’s prison gynecologist,” she said. “Because we’re crazy and you’re seeing us at our most vulnerable. Jorge and Julie, I don’t envy your job because you have to try to make the actor look like what she thinks she looks like in her head, which I imagine is as dangerous as women’s prison gynecology. So thank you for your service in that area.” Now that’s gratitude!
