Sex And The City Premiere: The Fashion, For The Most Part, Was Fierce

I am SO overwhelmed by the heavy hitters that showed up to the Sex And The City premiere in New York last night: Perry Farrell from Jane's Addiction, comedian Amy Sedaris, and Tony Award-winning Idina Menzel are a few of my favorites, so today's The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly is a tad biased. I will say that for the most part, everyone else looked great. Most of the celebs pulled out all the fabulous fashion stops on the premiere's pink carpet, including 75% of the SATC cast. (Can you guess which 75%?) The full Good, Bad, and Hot Tranny Messes, after the jump.

A PSA On Marijuana, Courtesy Of Strangers With Candy

Strangers with Candy's Jerri Blank (Amy Sedaris) is always full of twisted wisdom and words to live by, but in the clip above, it's actually her teacher Mr. Jellineck (Paul Dinello) who passes on the words of wisdom. "All I'm saying is if you wanna smoke pot, then be prepared to spend a lot of time laughing with your friends," he says. We agree! Happy 420 ladies, and see you on Sunday.

Do we smell a little competition? Word on the street is that AOL is creating a new "lifestyle site" for women in their 20s and 30s and they're looking for an editor "with a broad range of interests, strong writing voice, at least five years of editing experience and an old box of Sassy mags in her mom's attic," according to a listing in JournalismJobs.com, reports Alley Insider. AOL is looking for "someone who doesn't need an extra blue book to tactfully explain why Renee Zellweger is endearing yet freaky, and Amy Sedaris is freaky yet brilliant." Fingers crossed it will be less dull than Yahoo's luster-free Shine! (Click on the picture for the full job listing.) [Alley Insider] MORE »

Vanity Fair Celebrates Funny Girls

Just a little over a year after it published an essay in which Christopher Hitchens asserted that women aren't funny, Vanity Fair has come out with an issue acknowledging the current generation of female comedians, actresses and writers who are proving that women are actually quite hilarious. (Hitchens has a rebuttal here.) The video above, taken during the photo sessions for the issue, is like girl crush central, and includes Sandra Bernhard, Susie Essman, Tina Fey, Jenna Fischer, Chelsea Handler, Leslie Mann, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Amy Sedaris, Sarah Silverman, Wanda Sykes, and Kristen Wiig. Unfortunately, the lineup is a little too white. Where's Mo'nique? Or Margaret Cho? Jenna Fischer beat out both of them?

Amy Sedaris Charms David Letterman By Dissing Ellen DeGeneres

David Letterman adores Amy Sedaris, which is why he frequently has her as a guest on the Late Show. We totally adore her, too, and could watch her talk about anything, really. In the clip above, she offhandedly refers to Ellen DeGeneres as "that guy," and then goes on to discuss how much she loved working in grocery stores and how late-night ice cream consumers taught her to be a better alcoholic.

Amy Sedaris Stars In Dolly Parton's New Video


We're not exactly sure why or how it happened, but we love that Amy Sedaris is in Dolly Parton's video for "Better Get To Livin'." With a circus/sideshow freak theme, the video features Amy as an announcer, some sort of baby doll creature, and a unibrowed fortune teller, while Dolly is the ringleader. More »

Martha Stewart Has Never Heard Of Bong Water


One of our top girl crushes, writer/comedienne/rabbit-lover Amy Sedaris, popped by Martha today to demonstrate how to make her special cheeseballs. But Martha wasn't really digging Amy's recipe because Amy used smoked cheese which, apparently, Martha hates. There was another ingredient in Amy's cheeseball recipe, however, one that Martha had never heard of. It's something that you and I call A-1 sauce, but that Amy has another name for (think college dorm rooms). The clip, above.
