We can't believe that we forgot to include Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler when we did a Funny Ladies edition of Who Would You Do last year. Since then, there's been a lot of chatter about whether or not women are funny, so we figured it was a good time to revisit the topic. So, let's put the women of SNL up against each other in a head-to-head contest...who would you do? Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (9) | Blog

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler: the best friends we want to have
By Joanna Douglas, Shine Staff, on Thu Apr 24, 2008 2:44pm PDTAs a spastic person who has always considered Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Elaine to be her hero and role model, I’m so glad there are women like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. They’re smart, they’re quick, they get the joke, and perhaps most importantly, they don’t shy away from a topic because it’s considered shocking or un-PC. In their new film, Baby Mama, Tina Fey plays a woman who put her career first and now desperately wants a baby. Read More »

The Fulcrum: Is Liz Lemon the new Mary Richards?
By Anne Ichikawa, Shine staff, on Fri Mar 28, 2008 6:09am PDTWelcome to a new feature on Shine, The Fulcrum, where we take current TV shows and compare them to their older, original counterparts. Our inspiration? The lovely ladies you see to your left: Tina Fey and Mary Tyler Moore.
Mary Tyler Moore: CBS;Tina Fey: NBC
Who here watches the hee-lar-ious 30 Rock? Maybe its hiatus from the ole boob tube has made me grow fonder of the show, but I've been been missing new episodes. Like the deserts miss the rain.
So much that I've also probably been thinking about it too much. It dawned upon me (from my avid watching of Nick at Nite as a kid) that Tina Fey's Liz Lemon is eerily similar to Mary Tyler Moore's Mary Richards. A little graphical comparison after the jump!

Back off, Tina Fey -- Oprah's mine!
By Anne Ichikawa, Shine staff, on Wed Mar 26, 2008 11:32am PDTWe all know that Gayle King is Oprah's best friend. They talk on the phone every day, they take cross-country road trips together, and Gayle inherits realty when Oprah's dogs die. I have a best friend already, and she's awesome, but... as awesome as Oprah? Read More »
