The new trend in movie world seems to be “throw everyone likable in a movie and see what happens.” In the case of New Year’s Eve, it was an epic failure. But I mean, Jessica Biel, really? Isn’t it time to just let Mary Camden return to obscurity.

But anyways, back on topic, the trailer for Friends with Kids came out today and it includes an all-start ensemble cast of hilarious people. Kristen Wiig, Jon Hamm, and Maya Rudolph alone make me want to buy a ticket right now. Throw in a few people from left field like Adam Scott (hello Parks and Rec people making it big) and Edward Burns and I’m already waiting in line at the theater.

Or I was. Then I watched the trailer and subsequently figured out the plot for the whole movie. But still, it looks good…check it out and let me know what you think.

Jenni  actually can’t even afford to see a movie at NYC prices and is unsure why she’s acting like she already bought a ticket. Either way, she’s definitely had PG-13 rated dreams about Jon Hamm. You can follow her on Twitter @mayorjenni.

We love Jimmy Fallon and Maya Rudolph. But we especially love them when they’re together! The holidays are upon us, which means there’s going to be a lot of cheesy (and awesome) Christmas specials and various renditions of holiday songs. Jimmy and Maya have given us a little pre-Christmas gift of singing Baby It’s Cold Outside together. Read More »

In the male-dominated world of late-night talk shows, Chelsea Lately has always been a breath of fresh air. Her sarcastic, dry (but sometimes fueled by alcohol) humor, panel of D-list comedians, and her “little nugget” Chuy make for one ridiculously funny half-hour production. Needless to say, I was devastated when Handler told the Hollywood Reporter that she wanted “something that will utilize her brain a little more than this show.”

As much as I love Chelsea, we can’t lose the one female-hosted late night show! If Handler does make the unfortunate (and probably stupid) decision to leave Chelsea Lately, here are 10 women who I think could bring the show to a new level.

Who do you think would be the best at making fun of celebrities, drinking her way through interviews, and having perfect chemistry with a little Mexican midget? Was I wrong to be so tough on Silverman? Anyone I left off the list that you think is deserving of the job? Let us know!

Men have always ruled the comedy scene. From dynamic duos such as Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello and Jay and Silent Bob to teams such as the Happy Madison boys (Adam Sandler, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Peter Dante, Allen Covert and Nick Swardson) and the Frat Pack (Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Owen and Luke Wilson and Steve Carrell).

There are virtually no female comedic ensembles who can sell movies like these guys can.

In the stand-up circuit, men generally receive the biggest reception. Recently, I went to a stand-up comedy review that featured twenty comics in one night. Of those twenty, only three women took the stage. Three. WTF?

Women are pretty damn funny, so why don’t we get the same appraisal as men get? Films like Old School put the Frat Pack on the map, while the hysterical chick flick The Sweetest Thing flopped at the box office. The Wedding Crashers cast has people rolling in the aisles, while far too many people have never seen Christina Applegate, Cameron Diaz, and Selma Blair sing The Penis Song.

I took this assignment to cover the 5 Funniest Women out there, but quickly realized there is just too much talent to narrow it down so far. That said, what follows is my personal list of five of the wittiest women in the world, along with some honorable mentions. I welcome feedback, comments, and nominations, because I’m sure I’ve missed some ladies that can more than keep up with the boys. Read More »
