Amy Poehler Is Back - Will Her New Show Be A Hit?

Josh loposer — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 18:01:00 GMT

After taking a few months of mommy leave to enjoy time with her new baby boy Archie, Amy Poeher is back at work, but not on SNL ... sniffle.

Her new show, Parks and Recreation, hits the small screen Thursday April 9th on NBC. Will it bring the funny? So far, critics can't seem to make up their minds on whether the spin-off from The Office (both share the same writers and producers) will become the instant classic that it should be. Some are hailing it as the next 30 Rock, while others are holding their noses.

As an old fan of Upright Citizens Brigade, I'm hoping new mother's return to TV will rock the rabbit ears, er, converter box.

Amy Poehler Raves About Son and New Show

Karl Erikson — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:33:00 GMT

Former SNL superstar Amy Poehler is thrilled to be a momma, and says she can't get enough of son Archie, now 2 months old. "It's amazing," Amy says. "He's a sweet boy. Archie's the best."

Amy and hubby Will Arnett welcomed Archie in October, and the couple recently showed up at the Golden Globes. She wasn't picky about her fancy Pamella Roland gown. "With a 2-month-old, it's nice that something fits."

Next month, Amy starts working on the new NBC sitcom, created by the producers of "The Office."

"We start shooting in February and it's on in April," Amy says. She describes it as "like Tina Turner in Beyond Thunderdome. I am a boss; I have an office. It's a whole different world. It's not a spin-off, it's a whole different place. The Office's Rashida Jones plays my friend."

This will be a big switch for Amy, who recently left Saturday Night Live after 7 years on the show.

As for losing her baby weight, she attributes it to never sleeping. Such is the life of a new parent.

Angela Kinsey Doesn't Shower

Karl Erikson — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 11:21:00 GMT

Angela Kinsey, 37-year-old star of "The Office," is a new mom to Isabel Ruby, now 4-1/2 months old. Surprisingly, she hasn't had a whole lot of time to get online and update her Myspace blog. What is it with stars and Myspace blogs, anyway? Are celebrities morons? Don't they realize that there are far superior blogging platforms? Ah, no matter.

She asks for a little advice online in her latest post.

"Do you find yourself having conversations in your head like this: 'Ooo, the baby's asleep. I can either shower or check emails or eat or pump or call my sister back ... hmmm?' Is it bad that I often bail on showering? I have mastered the greasy hair ponytail."

Mmm, Angela is a dirty girl. I like that.

Live! From New York! It's NOT Amy Poehler!

Karl Erikson — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 11:34:00 GMT

Amy Poehler, who is major league preggers, says she'll be leaving Saturday Night Live after the November election to give birth to her first child. Poehler, 37, just did one of the most popular skits ever on Saturday, playing Hillary Clinton next to Tina Fey's Sarah Palin.

"It's gonna be really hard - Boys II Men hard - to say goodbye to yesterday," Amy says in the latest issue of Men's Vogue. "SNL was dangerous, late-night, last-minute and star-studded, but like any good drug, you need to know when to put it down."

Oh, my dear, sweet Amy. SNL hasn't been a good drug in a really, really long time. Still, you were one of the only good parts left.

And lest you think that Amy is coming back after maternity leave, forget it. She'll be gone for good. In fact, the producers of "The Office" are getting her ready for her own NBC series. She'll also continue doing voicework for her animated kids' show "The Mighty B!"

It's a sad, sad day for Saturday nights.

SAG Awards: Daniel Day Lewis Dedicates Award to Heath Ledger

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 21:35:00 GMT

Daniel Day-Lewis, while accepting his SAG award on Sunday night, gave a moving tribute to Heath Ledger. Day-Lewis, who was named Best Actor for his leading role in There Will Be Blood, called Ledger, and his roles in Monster's Ball and Brokeback Mountain, an inspiration. "Of course, in Brokeback Mountain he was unique," Day-Lewis said. "He was perfect. And that scene in the trailer at the end of the film is as moving as anything I have ever seen."

During a backstage interview Day-Lewis was asked why he decided to dedicate his award to Ledger. "I suppose that's all I've been thinking about for the last few days. I never met him. I thought he was beautiful. I just have a very strong feeling that I would have liked him very much as a man. ...I admired him very much."

SAG Awards: Angelina Jolie Looking Pregnant on the Red Carpet

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 02:35:00 GMT

The Screen Actors Guild Awards, the first star-studded awards show of the season, are now underway. But who can concentrate on the show when we're all trying to figure out if Angelina Jolie is knocked-up? The actress walked the red carpet at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in a loose, flowing dress fueling speculation that she's pregnant.

Of course, no one's considered the possibility that maybe she just likes loose, flowing dresses or maybe just wanted to be comfortable after she hits the after-show buffet line and scarfs down all those hors d'oeuvres. I'd wear a big dress too, if I knew there was a room full of cheese balls and shish kebabs waiting for me.

Jolie is nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Marianne Pearl in A Mighty Heart. If she wins maybe she'll announce her pregnancy. Probably not.

Wow, I hope that they write this into the script of The Office, if that writers' strike ever ends. Little Dwight Schrutes running around? Hysterical. Assuming, that is, that they write Dwight in as the father. Could be more interesting to make it a mystery... little Andys? Little Michaels???

But that's just my fantasy. The reality is still very cool - congrats to Angela and husband Warren Leiberstein!
