Vanity Fair: Tina Fey Drops 30 Pounds, Is Scarred For Life
Tina Fey looks lovely on the January 2009 cover of Vanity Fair, though, after reading the accompanying cover story by Maureen Dowd it's tempting to never mention her looks again. So much of the lengthy profile is devoted to marveling at the weight loss and makeover that transformed the "very mousy" Fey into everyone's favorite "brainy glamour-puss" that we almost wish Fey would revert to her "quite round" physique and dig out the thrift-store sweaters that she used to sport. However, the article is redeemed by featuring plenty of what really made Fey "A New American Sweetheart:" her funny quips, not her figure. A selection, after the jump. More » -

Loose Lips
Alec Baldwin on his 30 Rock lip-lock with Jennifer Aniston: "It was the greatest day of my life." He's J/K, people, but Baldwin adds, "Whenever you do that with someone, it's so fake. They're getting paid to kiss you and I'm getting paid to kiss her. But she's a doll." • 50 Cent filed suit against Taco Bell because they made him look like a chump, or, in legalese, "burnished his gangsta rapper persona by distorting beyond all recognition a bona fide, good faith offer."

"I thought a lot of people are advocating on Darfur. I'd just be a very small log on a big fire.

Lindsay Lohan Is Showered In Flour By An Anti-Fur Activist In Paris
- Lindsay Lohan's trip to Paris is off to a rocky start: an anti-fur activist dumped a bag of flour on Lilo's head and screamed "Lindsay Lohan, fur hag!" as she was heading toward a VIP room at a local club last night, leaving the actress with flour all over her face and hair. Apparently, Lohan was targeted due to her love of fur coats. PETA Europe's Robbie Leblanc released this statement: "There is nothing remotely 'fashionable' about the torture and death of animals killed for fur. Lindsay Lohan might be able to ignore images of bloody animals skinned alive for their pelts, but we hope a dash of flour will help her rise to the occasion and forsake fur once and for all."[UPI]
