TINA FEY

Elizabeth Stamatina "Tina" Fey (born May 18, 1970) is an American actress, comedienne, writer, and producer. She has received seven Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, and four Writers Guild of America Awards. She was singled out as the performer who had the greatest impact on culture and entertainment in 2008 by the Associated Press, who gave her their AP Entertainer of the Year award.

After graduating from the University of Virginia in 1992, Fey moved to Chicago to take classes at the improvisational comedy group The Second City, where she became a featured player in 1994. Three years later, Fey became a writer for the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL). She was promoted to the position of head writer in 1999. The following year, Fey was added to the cast of SNL. During her time there, she was co-anchor of the show's Weekend Update segment. After leaving SNL in 2006, she created her own television series called 30 Rock, a situation comedy loosely based on her experiences at SNL. In the series, Fey portrays the head writer of a fictional sketch comedy series.

In 2004, Fey made her film debut as writer and co-star of the teen comedy Mean Girls. In 2008, she starred in the comedy film Baby Mama, alongside Amy Poehler. In 2009, Fey won an Emmy Award for her satirical portrayal of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in a guest appearance on SNL. (via Wikipedia)

Tina Fey in Harper’s Bazaar: people who use Botox look like candles

via celebitchy.com ( 47 Days ago )
Tina Fey is the November cover girl for Harper’s Bazaar, and the cover shot is… interesting. It’s not that Tina doesn’t look pretty, but I just don’t get the “surprised” look on her face. Maybe she’s trying to show us she doesn’t use Botox? Perhaps. Tina’s a lovely woman, and I’m not really sure if this cover does her justice. The rest of the photos are [...]

'Motherhood' Poster: Down the Diane Keaton Hole We Go, Uma

via iwatchstuff.com ( 115 Days ago )
I refuse to believe this is a real movie. This must be another fake-movie-within-the-movie promotion for Funny People, or part of a self-referential 30 Rock episode where Liz encounters Tina Fey, played by Uma Thurman, who is currently shooting this more ridiculous equivalent of Baby Mama. "There are no time-outs in motherhood"? Of course there aren't. Children have time-outs, [...]

So it's no surprise that Fey's name and show 30 Rock came up so many times in the recent list of Emmy nods. I'm no longer convinced [...]
