The Immaculate Tina Fey is the April cover girl for Esquire Magazine! She’s promoting Date Night, the romantic-comedy (with lots of action) that Tina costars with Steve Carrell. Regarding the photos Esquire “made” Tina pose for, Tina had this to say to the magazine:
“The idea of the photo shoot is something like my wild night out. The irony being that I don’t do that. I got an e-mail [from Esquire] with a list of the potential setups, and my e-mail back was like, Well, I need to decline being handcuffed to a bed. I won’t straddle anyone. I won’t make out with a cop. There are certain things, I totally get them as a premise. And they’re all good fun, and if I were a young single model, they would be appropriate, but, you know, I’m a mom. And my kid’s going to find this someday. I don’t want to be handcuffed to a bed in Esquire. What are you nuts? I’m not going to make out with a cop that I’m handcuffed to. I got to get my kid into kindergarten. I guess that’s more of a Montessori way of learning, when they handcuff you to things.”
[From Esquire]
Chuckle. She’s just so funny. So far, Esquire has only put up an excerpt of their article, called either “Tina on the Real Tina” or “Tina Fey’s Night Out” or whatever. I would have called it: “Tina Fey: The Most Fabulous Bitch On Ice” or “Tina Fey Rocks the Kasbah”. Or something like that. You know, mix it up a little. Try not to go for the obvious. Here’s Esquire’s piece, “Tina on the Real Tina” (it’s just her accumulated quotes):
“Twitter seems like a busman’s holiday: just more writing. I have no plans to do it. I’ll just stick with my 24/7 webcam. I’m old-fashioned that way.”
“Plots we would not do on 30 Rock? Let me put the Internet at ease: Liz and Jack will never be together. Not even if we go fifteen seasons. Okay, if we get to season fifteen, they’ll do it.”
“I think my level of fame will drop back down. I think it’ll recede. In fact, I know it will. That’s life on planet earth. And I’m okay with that. Besides getting tables at restaurants and special treatment at the airport, what else is there?”
“What goes into a Sarah Palin impression? For me, it was a wig. And gluing down my ears. When I wear that half-up hairdo, my ears stick out. Also overdrawing my lips to make it look like I have bigger lips. Then there’s the Minnesooota Fargo kind of accent. Ya know? And the o’s, and the that, and all that. And smiling when you talk.”
“I feel that if I do it again, people will be like, ‘Oh, wait a minute. That’s terrible! You never really could do it, could you?’”
“I’ve got to write that book. I’ve had very little time to work on it. It will be hopefully humorous essays. Not about my neck. It’s actually mostly about how I feel about Nora Ephron’s neck. And I feel great about it. I want her to feel better about it. It’s better than mine.”
“What I’ve come to realize is that when people say, ‘The thinking man’s whatever’ — there’s no such thing. The thinking man also wants to f-ck Megan Fox.”
“My parents are going to be like, Why did you curse that much in that Esquire article?”
[From Esquire]
I f-cking love that line: “What I’ve come to realize is that when people say, ‘The thinking man’s whatever’ — there’s no such thing. The thinking man also wants to f-ck Megan Fox.” It’s so f-cking true. And so f-cking sad. I love how she’s so great at old-fashioned one-liners and punchy little zingers. She’s like Don Rickles with a great rack.
ALL HAIL QUEEN TINA!!!

Love the one of her holding the blonde’s hair back. I can totally see her doing that in real life. Sigh, I wish she was MY best hair-holding puke buddy.

I hate this cliche cover picture–mouth open, looking stunned, vacant and sexually available. I see women photographed in magazines like that all the time and it bugs me.

NOOOO! Liz and Jack will never be together!?! Why would you RUIN that for me? *sob*

I don’t think she’s THAT funny.. She is cute though… Why would it be sad if a thinking man was sexually attracted to Megan Fox?

Ha!! Yes, I love the picture of her holding back the blonde’s hair while she throws up…hilarious. I am not sure how I feel about the shoot overall, but I think her hair looks killer!

Not crazy about those pictures. She’s not making out with the cop, but would she want her kid to see her anyway?

Yea I don’t think she is all that funny either, Dan. I do think she is funny, just not the funniest women in the world or whatever, I do love the photos however.

Love her!
Liz and Jack truly getting together would ruin one of the best friendships on TV ever – she’s said all along it won’t happen and I hope they stick to it.
I like that she has boundaries and thinks about her kid when it comes to publicity stuff. Too many people don’t.

I think she is funny as hell, but we all have our own tastes. For instance I can not understand why people think the Three Stooges are even slightly funny, or that dipstick Larry the Cable Guy… but hey to each their own.

The holding the hair back picture rocks and also handcuffed to the cop passed out on the couch. It’s Tina Fey meets “The Hangover.” I totally get it. And, I totally get Tina Fey. SMART GIRLS RULE!
She is SO going to outsell the GQ issue with bimbo-deluxe Rielle Hunter!

Oddly, given her comments, my favorite one is the one with the cop in it. :^) Now that looks like an awesome night!

@ Molly b:
“I hate this cliche cover picture–mouth open, looking stunned, vacant and sexually available. I see women photographed in magazines like that all the time and it bugs me.”
Me too. At least with Fey, it seems tongue-in-cheek.
I do love that she actually draws lines that she won’t cross with photo shoots. So sick of women posing with their t*ts hanging out and their mouths open, then act all innocent about it. Or even angry about how they were portrayed (Rielle Hunter).

She is funny, beautiful, AND has brains…something Megan Fox does not have. If she does, she ruins it every time with that immature mouth of hers.

She looks so beautiful! I absolutely love these photos! And of course she’s just pure awesome, per usual.

“Why would it be sad if a thinking man was sexually attracted to Megan Fox?”
It’s not possible, because it automatically proves the guy’s an empty moron. Thus erasing the premise.

@ Dan…co-sign with CB Rawks
…and proves that at the end of the day 99% of men are basic. It dashes all hope really. I love that line, as well. It’s so true. John Mayer, despite all of his pedantry, chooses with his dick. He said so himself.
I like the photo shoot. Like a previous poster said, she’s not attempting to take herself seriously. If this were Lohan, she’d be dead serious about her cracked-out spread…thinking she’s a modern day Edie Sedgwick. No bitch, you’re just a trainwreck. Sorry.

I like this photoshoot. It’s hilarious and silly and bawdy. I love the mascara-smeared, click-and-a-wink thing she’s doing in the shot with the blonde.

OMG! I thought she was intelligent enough not to buy into the Im famous so now Im hot b.s. She is not attractive – Esquire???? oh Tina give it up and get some class. Fame doesnt equal attractiveness nor intelligence in this case. I feel bad she thinks she is hot now just because she is famous – how desperate.

Oh no she DID NOT compare herself to Megan Fox!!! You wish Tina. Not funny, not cute.

Yikes, I thing someone completely missed the point. She was being funny and, yes, self-deprecating. And the comment with Megan Fox–it was about the so-called “thinking man”

The photo of her holding her friend’s hair back with a wink and a nod is The best thing I have seen in ages….
