Man, this looks so much better than Mad Money.

Baby Mama starring Tina Fey and Amy Poelher will be out this spring. Here's a clip to pass the time:

The Writer's Strike: Prelude to a Talk

Whit Honea — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 18:53:00 GMT

The Studios are reaching out. I guess they read my piece. Hopefully some talks will start and the stoppage will, um, stop.

Man, I hope so. I'm sick of reality- TV and otherwise.

Tina Fey Would Vote Abdul Off

Whit Honea — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 22:42:00 GMT

Tina Fey thinks that Paula Abdul is "disastrous ... in the way she generally appears to be." She tells Playboy (via Us) that Abdul is "awful."

When Paula Abdul hosted SNL she left quite the impression on Fey, "I was pregnant at the time and probably a little moody, but I remember thinking, 'She's a disaster! I gotta prop this lady up and get her on TV.'"

I guess that's why they let her sit down on American Idol.

Thanks for the take, Tina. Let's get Abdul on 30 Rock!

Brad Pitt's In No State Of Play

HerBadMother — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 19:01:00 GMT

Brad Pitt has dropped out of the movie State of Play, and could be facing a lawsuit.

Apparently, if Universal Pictures can't recast Brad's part by the time shooting is set to begin on November 29th, they will consider bringing a lawsuit against him. Word is that the producers fear that a failure to recast will prompt other members of the cast - which includes Edward Norton, Helen Mirren, Rachel McAdams, Jason Bateman and Robin Wright Penn - to withdraw and that this will put the project in jeopardy.

Brad reportedly dropped out of the project because of script concerns, which cannot be addressed because of the writers' strike.

Tina Fey and the Writer's Strike

Whit Honea — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 18:27:00 GMT

Tina Fey is mad as hell, and she's not going to take it anymore!

I'm torn on this Hollywood strike. On one hand, I'm a writer. I've created some shows for television. I get it.

On the other hand, they're just so whiny. I've never been a fan of unions, especially for the white-collar crowd.

Can't we all just get along?

Tina Fey is one of the only working writers in TV that is actually any good. "30 Rock" is funny as hell. The rest of the writers should just keep waking in circles until they think of some better script ideas.

I wonder how long she walked the line after the photographers left.

I just hope that the powers that be realize they're wrong and give the writers their share before we're left with nothing but informercials and porn. Those don't use writers, right?
