Women of Comedy Video: Amy Poehler, Sarah Silverman & More Talk Funny



The Hollywood Reporter has a pretty great video series where they interview Hollywood types. Actors, writers… People you like. For some pre-Emmys fun, they round up some awesome TV and movie women for a chat about showbiz. Their “Women of Comedy” incudes Amy Poehler, Sarah Silverman, Christina Applegate, Jane Krakowski, Mary-Louise Parker and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss talking shop.

The clip above gets good (Watch out: There may be some foul language.) when the women talk about age in Hollywood. More than one of them read to be Jonah Hill’s mother in a script recently! AfterEllen’s got more good commentary about it. And check out HollywoodReporter.com for more good clips.

Singer Holly Miranda Visits Liz Feldman, Lesbian Hijinks Ensue!

More Lesbian Entertainment & Video


I’ve blogged about the awesome Holly Miranda very briefly before. I sort of worship this amazing up-and-coming Brooklyn/Tennessee-based singer/songwriter… And you will too. Kanye West even reveres her, which means lots.

Holly’s playing a show in NYC this coming weekend; teaming up with another killer out singer, Joan As Police Woman, for a hot gig at the 92nd Street Y – Tribeca on Saturday, January 25th. If you’re in NYC, go. You won’t be sorry.

And above, watch the hilarious queer comic and AfterEllen vlog-host Liz Feldman in her final “This Just Out” vlog of the season, in which Holly visits. First, Liz’s mom appears, and Liz’s usual guest Raimie, but about 20 minutes into it comes Holly with a searing live performance and a fun chat with Liz. Hurrah!

Trust. The future is all about Holly Miranda. Get ready!

Buffy and Edward Get Mashed Up for a Slayer/Twilight Showdown

Our smart/sassy friends at AfterElton shared the above video last week showing what would happen if Twilight’s Edward Cullen ever set his creepy stalker sights on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The video, created by Rebellious Pixels, makes use of the teen dramas to highlight just how much ass Buffy kicks and how weird and slightly disturbing Edward Cullen is.

Maybe it’s because I’ve never read the books or seen the movie, but I’ve never understood what’s so special about the Twilight series or the apparent romantic god that is Edward Cullen/Robert Pattinson. I love that this movie turns the vampire storyline upside down and hilariously portrays Sarah Michelle Gellar as the ultimate bad ass. Check it out!

Hot Women Movie Jocks! A Top Ten List!

“Do you love me little surfer grrrl?”

Hey sports fans, I highly advise you to check out AfterEllen.com’s completely fun list of “The 10 Hottest Women in Sports Movies.” It’s, well… hot. And jock-tastic.

Remember how hot Kate Bosworth (seen in Blue Crush, above) was before you knew anything about her? Same for Kiera Knightley, who was butch and adorable in Bend It Like Beckham.

The list runs the gamut from Zoe Saldana to Katharine Hepburn… Go see if your fave made the cut. And I won’t tell you whether or not Mariel Hemingway’s turn in Personal Best got picked or not.

Go team!

Also on deck, a prize for the Brink of Fame Actor, which will honor an up-and-coming thespian who we expect to hear a lot more from! And the nominees are a nice bunch!
