Equal Gender Representation In Vanity Fair [The Apocalypse]
Vanity Fair has featured 6 men and 6 of a lesser-known species called “women” on the 3 covers of its January 2013 “Comedy’s New Legends” issue. This will be their first comedy issue, guest edited by Judd Apatow and featuring: Paul Rudd, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Jim Carey, Will Ferrell, Leslie Mann, Melissa McCarthy, Megan Fox, Kristen Wiig, Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph.

Besides giving mad props to the Pope, these two share a common interest in superior athletics, academics, and intense fan-dom.
Girl Crush: Amy Poehler
Anyone who knows me know that I have a weak spot for funny people. Like, really, really ridiculously funny people. If you can’t make me laugh, then I want nothing to do with you. On the flipside, if you can make me ROFL, there’s a place in my heart for you. And if your name is Amy Poehler, I’ll even share dessert with you (and I don’t share dessert with anyone).

High School Movie Heaven – Part II
A while back, the editor of this very site put out a query: “Give me a Top 10 list of your favorite High School Movies.” I told her I wanted in – after all, who doesn’t love to indulge in a little HS drama?
