Tina Fey graces the cover of the March issue of Vogue and it is pretty obviously airbrushed. Tina has a noticeable scar and it is missing from the photo on the cover. To be fair, the scar does run along the lower left side of her face and her head is tilted a bit in the picture. If you ever watch 30 Rock, and you’re a keen observer, then you know that most of the time Tina slightly turns her head so that viewers see her “good” side. (Not that we think she has a bad side — Tina is fabulous in our book.)

In 2008, Fey’s husband, Jeff Richmond, put years of mystery and speculation to rest when he explained that a stranger slashed Fey’s face outside her home when she was just five years old. Tina has declined to discuss the incident with press. “It’s impossible to talk about it without somehow seemingly exploiting it,” she told Vanity Fair.

In the new Vogue interview, Tina does talk about body image issues in a very smart and humorous way. (What else would you expect from Tina Fey?)

“People will say, ‘Oh, fashion magazines are so bad, they’re giving girls a negative message’—but we’re also the fattest country in the world, so it’s not like we’re all looking at fashion magazines and not eating. Maybe it just starts a shame cycle: I’m never going to look like that model, so…Chicken McNuggets it is! And conversely, I don’t look at models who are crazy skinny and think I want to look like that, because a lot of them are gigantic, with giant hands and feet. Also, my dad is an artist—a painter by hobby—and I constantly would see realistic nudes. Because we were raised around art and went to museums and the women I grew up around were curvy…there wasn’t this value on skinny, skinny, skinny. Curvy was clearly meant to be the winner. I go up and down a few pounds with a relative amount of kindness to myself. And I have a daughter, and I don’t want her to waste her time on all of that.”

As if these two ladies couldn’t be any more different.

Tina Fey chose to stay a virgin until age 24.

“I couldn’t give it away,” she recently joked to David Letterman about her virginity.

Angelina Jolie started having sex was she was only 14 years old.

After having sex for the first time, “the emotions didn’t feel enough,” she has said. So to feel closer to her mate, she said she “grabbed a knife and cut him.”

Oh my!

In the November issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Tina Fey, 39, shares her thoughts on Botox.

On the rituals of beautification, Tina, who has a facial scar from a childhood attack (when she was five, she was assaulted outside her Philadelphia home), says, “You can point any kind of laser at my face, but I don’t think Botox is for me. I think it is bad. People who have too much, they look like their faces are full of candles — a shiny, shiny face.” Festive, though. “Yes, festive. A holiday candle.”

Tina has her vanities, of course, and sometimes it helps to be the empress of 30 Rock. “I have the camera frame me from the waist up,” she jokes. Really? “Sometimes. If there is a shot that is bad, I can take it out. That is why L.A. is so bad, because they can take your picture from any side. That is why people in L.A. maintain 360 degree fitness. I don’t have that kind of time.”

Tina is similarly old-school when it comes to maintenance. “I like to delude myself that I’m in the old-Hollywood mode. I just tailor my clothes well and try to keep my skin clear. While it would be great to work out an hour a day, there is something inherently sort of selfish about it. I can’t do it.”

Also on Tina’s plate is an upcoming humor book for which she signed a rumored $5 million-plus deal with Little, Brown last year. “It’s full of incredibly angry ranting,” she says. “Actually, it’s recipes, photographs of doors. And then, more recipes.”

Then there’s next year’s Date Night, in which Tina and Steve Carell play a couple who will go to any lengths to spice up their love life. Tina didn’t go on a huge amount of dates before she met Richmond, whom she married in 2001. “I went to a formal once in college where this guy came up to me — this really handsome, nice guy — and asked me to go to his fraternity’s formal. I said something like, ‘You are gay, right?’ He was like, ‘What? No!’” She pauses. “Then he came out — not during the date but almost that same night. His straight-dar was off.”

Tina Fey’s humor GPS is spot-on. During her ode to Carell, she says modestly, “I can officially put on my resume, ‘Special skills: stands next to funny person.’”

But there is a growing number of people who want to stand next to her.

“Is that the devil? He’s like a sexy devil.”

She’s right!

Tina Fey is a very smart and funny lady.

We’re big Tina fans, but come on!  Awful!

The 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards were full of plenty of sparkle and major celebrities. Low-budget movies ruled, as “Slumdog Millionaire” won a leading four honors, including best drama to give it a push in the race for Oscars. “John Adams,” and “30 Rock” were the big television winners at the Globes.

Here is the complete list of winners for the 2009 Golden Globe Awards. (more…)

The 35th Annual People’s Choice Awards saw “The Dark Knight” pull off a clean sweep, raking in all five awards for which it was nominated. Held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, the star-studded affair also saw performer Carrie Underwood grab three awards while Tina Fey, Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Katherine Heigl, Reese Witherspoon, Christina Applegate and Robin Williams all went home winners, as well.

A while back I noticed that Tina Fey had a deep scar on the left side of her face.  There wasn’t any information on the internet about the origin of her scar because Tina would never confirm what exactly happened to her, so it remained an intriguing mystery.  However, Tina Fey talks about it to Vanity Fair.

“It’s impossible to talk about it without somehow seemingly exploiting it and glorifying it,” Fey, 38, tells Vanity Fair in its January issue.

But when she was 5, the future TV star was playing in the front yard of her Upper Darby, Penn., home when a stranger approached the young Fey and violently cut her cheek.

“She just thought somebody marked her with a pen,” says her husband, Jeff Richmond.

And while the experience was traumatizing, Fey worked hard to keep it from affecting her childhood.

“I proceeded unaware of it. I was a very confident little kid. It’s really almost like I’m kind of able to forget about it, until I was on-camera,” says Fey, whose scenes are often shot from the right side.

Though she has overcome the obstacle, Fey says that she does worry about how it may one day affect her role as a mother to daughter Alice, 3.

“Supposedly, I will go crazy,” says Fey. “My therapist says, ‘When Alice is the age that you were, you may go crazy.’ ”

Besides collecting her Emmy gold, Fey spent this fall mimicking GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin to great acclaim (even from the Palin camp) on Saturday Night Live and signing a $5-million book deal.

While Fey may be hotter than ever, it wasn’t always the case for the 5′4″ beauty.

“She was quite round,” Richmond says of his wife’s pre-fame days in Chicago, But “in a lovely, turn-of-the-century kind of round – that beautiful, Rubenesque kind of beauty.”

But after a makeover and going on Weight Watchers during her SNL period, Fey, who is half-Russian and half-Greek, knows what her greatest assets are.

“Because of the Greek-girl thing, I have, like, boobs and butt,” she says. As a result, she adds, “I only have two speeds – either matronly or a little too slutty. I have to be steered away from cheetah print.”

Tina Fey took home best actress in a comedy series and writing for a comedy series for 30 Rock on Sunday at the 60th Annual Emmy Awards.

“I’m very proud to be a writer. I wouldn’t have had any of the other jobs I’ve had if I hadn’t been a writer,” Fey gushed.

Fey and her pregnant Baby Mama costar Amy Poehler, took a shot at Eva Longoria before presenting Jeremy Piven with best supporting actor in a comedy series for his work on Entourage.

“When are you due?” Fey asked Poehler, to which Poehler responded, “that’s so rude, I just gained weight for a role.”

Longoria recently dismissed pregnancy speculation by saying that she had to gain weight for her role on Desperate Housewives.

In case you missed it, here is Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton.  Hilarious!

“30 Rock” seems to be getting a lot of big name celebrities to guest star on the show this season!

First, we told you that the lovely Jennifer Aniston shot her guest starring appearance for the show, and now we hear that Ms. Oprah Winfrey is in talks to appear on 30 Rock too.

According to a report by E! Online, Winfrey would play herself in an episode slated to air November 6. The TV mogul’s storyline would reportedly involve a feud between Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) and Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan).

If you recall, Jennifer Aniston, will appear in one episode as a “free-spirited, ‘Fatal Attraction’-like stalker” named Claire Harper, who is Liz Lemon’s (Tina Fey) former Chicago roommate, NBC announced. When Claire shows up in New York, she instantly attaches herself to Liz’s boss, Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin).

Both Oprah and Jen’s storylines sound funny!

“30 Rock,” currently nominated for 17 Emmys, returns to NBC on Oct. 30 at 9:30 p.m.
