<![CDATA[Amy Sedaris Is Married, Possibly Only In Her Imagination]]> Last night Amy Sedaris told David Letterman she's married to a man named "Glenn." (She used to live with her imaginary boyfriend Ricky, until he was murdered.) It seems unlikely that Sedaris really married a disabled, diseased merchant marine, but either way, Ricky's ghost must be disappointed. Clip at left.

<![CDATA[Handler Smacks Down Hilton For Rumors About Her Hoo-Ha]]> Perez Hilton hit Chelsea Lately yesterday to discuss host Chelsea Handler's vagina, which Hilton claims Handler had altered. (Hilton wasn't referring to Handler's felt ladyflower, a gift from a much better behaved guest, Amy Sedaris.)

When Hilton appeared last week on The Howard Stern Show, he accused Handler (not for the first time) of having surgery to reduce the size of her labia. In this short clip, Hilton manages to insult both Handler and Lauren Conrad's "lady bits" , telling Chelsea that if she has undergone cosmetic surgery on her reproductive organs, she could be a "role model to women, if you were open about it." Handler ended the discussion by pulling out her cloth vagina, and saying the only real thing you can say to all this crap: "at least it's something to talk about."

<![CDATA[Amy Sedaris Discusses Naked Barbies, "Vitamin P" With Dashing Scotsman]]> Last night, Amy Sedaris was on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, and of course the conversation turned R-rated (and hilarious) within seconds.

In the clip at left, Ferguson talks with Sedaris about the benefits of "Vitamin P," why it's more fun to be a '50s housewife without a husband, and how seeing his sister's Barbies naked was bad preparation for seeing a real naked woman.

<![CDATA[Amy Sedaris Talks Sitcoms, Rabbits And Pasties With Letterman]]> We've got a special treat for Amy Sedaris acolytes: she's getting her own sitcom! The details of the new show are scarce, EW reports, but apparently Amy came up with the concept six years ago and Strangers With Candy star Paul Dinello is involved. Also involved? David Letterman, who will produce. Amy went on Letterman's show last night and was as adorably manic as usual. She made pasties out of the tassels from Dave's loafers and then got hay all over the floor. Clip above.

<![CDATA[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.







The Good
Kristin Davis shone like a fancy piece of Hanukkah gelt.
Anna Wintour looks like my mom, which is awesome for my mom but...well, I guess it's awesome for Anna too.
Lorraine Bracco, aka the former Dr. Melfi, has a PhD in cute shoes.
The only thing missing from Cynthia Nixon's ensemble is her cute, ginger girlfriend.
I think Lydia Hearst looks great in what is probably Heatherette, although she didn't need the hippie necklace.
Oh Idina! You look lovely. Mazel Tov.
Perry Farrell looks like a God, as usual, and his lady-friend looks like a window display at Agent Provocateur. (Yes, that's good. We want more of that).
Amy Sedaris is a genius, and her outfit has a perfectly spring-appropriate color palette.
Check and mate! You done good SJP.


The Bad
Eli Manning? Don't mind if I do! But who's the lady in the confusing-print dress?
Kim Catrall's dress looks like it's doused in dollar bills.
I love that Lil Kim was there, but I don't love that she's wearing what looks like second-hand H&M.
I don't care for this dress on Michelle Williams. It's too, "Call Tina Knowles and get me something from the House of Dereon to wear to the Sex In The City premiere!"


The Ugly
Even Miss Piggy was there! (Joke, it's Nicole Forrester, who probably doesn't even know who Miss Piggy is).
Tranny? It's Tranny. It's Solid Gold Ferocia Tranny. It's Studio 54 via Project Runway Tranny. Tranny. (Sorry, that joke will never get old for me. Thanks, Amy Poehler).

  • Gwyneth may adopt her next child because being pregnant made her feel "like a zombie." She says, "I was so ill, everything disgusted me! I wasn't able to eat or smell anything." She says "an American oprhan" would be an option. Though she could copy her bff Madonna. [Mirror]

<![CDATA[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.

<![CDATA[ Do we smell a little competition? Word on...]]> 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]

<![CDATA[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?

<![CDATA[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.

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.
