Time Magazine recently released its fifth annual 100 Most Influential People list.  The list sets out to honor world leaders, innovators and also entertainers.  Among the guests at last night's ceremony held at the Lincoln Center in New York City were comedy writers Lorne Michael (who was accompanied by several SNL cast members), Tyler Perry and Judd Apatow.  The Time entries weren't written by a reporter, but rather by the peers and comrades of the honoree.  You can read the entire list and the accompanying articles here. 

     

SNL star Amy Poehler and husband Will Arnett have just announced that they are expecting!!!  The funniest-baby-in-the-making is due sometime this fall, and coincidentally Amy's new movie Baby Mama was the number one movie at the box office this weekend.  Congratulations all around! 

The Tribeca Film Festival got kicked off to a hilarious start with the premiere of the new movie Baby Mama.  The film stars Tina Fey as a neurotic woman who wants to get pregnant but can't and Amy Poehler as a loud mouth, working class lady who agrees to become her surrogate.  Tons of peeps showed up for the screening including Amy's husband Will Arnett, Kristen Bell, race car driver Danica Patrick and former SNLer Molly Shannon.  Baby Mama opens this Friday, can't wait!

     

Can I just briefly admit my profound love and admiration for Amy Poehler? She is an actress, writer and above all one of the funniest women alive!  Major girl crush material.  Amy taped an episode of the Late Show with David Letterman yesterday looking truly gorgeous in a black, chiffon dress.  She was on hand to promote her new movie Baby Mama (co-staring the genius Tina Fey) along with fellow SNLer Bill Hader and Jason Segel who were there to promote their own Apatow future classic, Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
