Baby Mama premiere featuring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler


The Saturday Night Live alums were at The Baby Mama premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival last night to support Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Among the familiar funny faces were Molly Shannon, Chris Kattan, and Rachel Dratch - who has found a job after mentioning her unemployment plight earlier this month. The film is about a career woman played by Fey who hires a goofy irresponsible woman, Amy Poehler’s character, to be her surrogate. There is some speculation that Poehler might be coincidentally pregnant since she’s wearing this flouncy dress, but I think it’s just the style of the dress. Poehler, 36, has been married to Arrested Development’s Will Arnett, 37, since August, 2003, and they have two dogs but no children yet. Her co-star Tina Fey, 37, has a daughter, Alice, who is two and a half.

Fey told People Magazine a funny story about how she gained weight quickly during her pregnancy by eating too many donuts:

“Somewhere during my pregnancy I gained something like nine pounds in two weeks and my doctor was like, ‘You know what it might be? Are you drinking a lot of juice?’ I was like, ‘Yeah. That must be it.’ ” said the 30 Rock Emmy winner, 37. “I was eating like a box a day of Entenmann’s donuts.”

Here’s the trailer. It looks amusing but not incredible, and is getting mixed reviews.

Also shown at the premiere are Will Arnett, Steve Martin, Romany Malco, Sigourney Weaver, Chevy Chase, Annabella Sciorra, Dax Shepard, Chris Kattan, Kristin Bell, Maggie Grace, Molly Shannon, Rachel Dratch, Robert DeNiro, Fred Durst looking old, and Padma Lakshmi. Thanks to PRPhotos and WENN for these pictures.

Christian Siriano thinks SNL’s Amy Poehler was ‘fierce’

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano thinks the recent Saturday Night Live parody of him was hilarious. The diminutive diva, 21, responded to the SNL skit featuring Amy Poehler in a dead-on impression, in an e-mail to People Magazine. Luckily, he has a great sense of humor in addition to a great sense of style.

Christian Siriano caught Amy Poehler’s impression of him on Saturday Night Live over the weekend and the Project Runway winner has just one word — an ‘F’ word — for the skit. And, no, it wasn’t “fierce.”

“I thought it was SO FUNNY,” the 22-year-old designer wrote in an e-mail to PEOPLE. “Amy [Poehler] looked exactly like me which is kinda scary, but fabulous.”

Known for his catty commentary and catchphrase, “That’s fierce,” the pint-sized designer wasn’t the only Project Runway personality to be parodied in the three-minute sketch about a hypothetical Runway spinoff, which features Siriano giving someone an apartment makeover. While Poehler played Siriano, the skit also featured guest host Amy Adams playing Runway host Heidi Klum and SNL castmember Bill Hader imitating Tim Gunn.

“The fact that they are even talking about me is so fierce, fabulous and flawless and is such an honor,” Siriano told PEOPLE. “[Poehler] was hilarious and little. It was so crazy that she looked just like me!”

And Poehler didn’t just nail Siriano’s sassy tone — she perfectly approximated his flat-ironed hair. “The hair was absolutely perfect,” Siriano wrote. “I don’t think I could have done it better myself. It was fierce!”

I saw the video clip of the skit, and I agree- it was pretty funny. I have to give serious props to Bill Hader for his perfect rendition of Tim Gunn. His impression is even better than my boyfriend’s! Yes, it’s true- my entire family sits around and does impressions of the people on “Project Runway.” My Heidi Klum is FIERCE.

Note By Celebitchy: Thanks to Best Week Ever for the heads up and for the video clip above.
