Suze Orman & Kathy Griffin Triumphant At Gracie Awards

When I first saw this photo, my heart stopped at the sight of my two favorite sassy ladies back-to-back. Fashion guru Suze Orman and comedian Kathy Griffin were both big winner's at the 34th Annual AWRT Gracie Awards and showed off their trophies with a pose on the red carpet.

The awards were held last night at the Broadway Ballroom at the New York Marriott Marquis in Manhattan and were presented by American Women in Radio & Television.

It was a veritable who's who of women in broadcasting, with journalism icon Barbara Walters rubbing shoulders with Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow and Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay. The most impressive sign that this was an esteemed event celebrating landmark journalism? I wasn't anywhere in sight.

Gallery Info: Kathy Griffin, Suze Orman, Melissa Rivers, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, Niecy Nash, Stephanie March, Debbie Morgan, Rachael Ray, Mariska Hargitay, LuAnn de Lesseps, Julia Allison, Hannah Storm, Kelly Bensimon, Alex McCord, Simon van Kempen, Erica Hill, Keke Palmer, Jill Zarin, Katie Couric, Jane Pauley, Gayle King and Maya Angelou at the 34th Annual AWRT Gracie Awards Gala.

Amy Poehler Speaks To The Gays

On Thursday, Amy Poehler returns to television in her primetime series Parks and Recreation. They 37-year-old former Saturday Night Live cast member recently chatted with The Advocate about her love of all things gay.

On a recent night out with some buddies from SNL including Rachel Dratch and Kristen Wiig to see Liza Minnelli perform in New York, Amy insisted that Liza bless her pregnant friend's baby to be gay friendly. To this, Liza responded by singing to the unborn child, "What good is sitting alone in your womb? Come hear the music play!" Can we just have a moment of silence to recognize how amazing Liza is and always will be?

Amy also joked about being confused with another famous, petite blond. When she was asked whether or not she'd run into any drag performers impersonating her, she sadly replied no.

However, she did say, "I just hope people keep mistaking me for Lady GaGa. Christina Aguilera may steal a lot of Lady GaGa's style, but Lady GaGa steals a lot of my jokes, and a lot of people don't know that."

The Ladies: 2009 Kids' Choice Awards

It's a challenge to dress yourself, knowing full well that you're going to be photographed against the background of a bright orange carpet, but these stars did their best. Demi Lovato was almost unrecognizable with the hearty tan she was sporting, in her metallic bronze dress and black heels. I'm kind of apathetic about the look, except her hair really does look great.

Paula Abdul had a lot going on in her look. It's nice to see that she managed to wipe off the mustache, but she seems to have found her way into Criss Angel's closet, what with all the sheer black and chains. For her next trick, she will fall asleep with her eyes open! Ta-da!

Young Miranda Cosgrove hit the perfect pitch of playful and dressy with her black and white dress and kitten heels. A little on the skinny side, but we'll fatten her up yet.

Emma Roberts confused me a little with her red shift dress, which was quite all right, except that she chose to pair it with what looks like half a pair of boots.

Oh yes, and somewhere in there, Lisa Rinna was out and about, scaring the children.

Check out these individual galleries of Megan Fox, America Ferrera, Vanessa Hudgens & Zac Efron, Cameron Diaz, Ashley Tisdale, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, Taylor Lautner and Pete Wentz. All of our 2009 Kids Choice Awards coverage here!

Amy Poehler Talks 'Parks And Recreation' With GQ

With a new TV show set to premiere on NBC, former Saturday Night Live cast member Amy Poehler chatted with GQ to promote her latest project Parks and Recreation.

Even though the show is being run by the producers of The Office, Amy explains that it's not really a spin-off per se. "Our world seems a lot bigger to me than theirs, actually. But that could just be because I'm shorter than [Steve] Carell," the pocket-sized comedian joked.

The men's magazine also put Poehler on the spot for calling the Secretary of State a "flurge." In response, Amy laughed and said, "I love how many people were like that... is... INSULTING. We just made that word up!" Oh Amy, you're so doodalicious.

Reese Witherspoon Celebrates Birthday With Monsters And Aliens

The lovely and talented Reese Witherspoon celebrated her 33rd birthday today at the premiere (hopefully the last one) for her new movie Monsters vs. Aliens. The Legally Blonde actress joined up with co-star Seth Rogen, as the pair greeted fans and posed for pictures at the Gibson Amphitheatre on the Universal City grounds.

Witherspoon voices the character of Susan, a girl-next-door, who is struck on her wedding day by an energy-packed meteor that causes her to grow to 49-feet-11.

"It definitely is the most action-packed movie I've ever been in," Witherspoon said in a Canadian exclusive telephone interview. "(Being animated) makes it a lot easier to kick butt. And the best thing is, I didn't have to diet to fit into that cat suit."

Reese only got to work with one of her movie co-stars, Paul Rudd, who voices Susan's colossally egotistical weatherman fiance, Derek Dietl.

"We got to be in the same room together and collaborate for a day, and that was so awesome because he's so funny," Witherspoon says. "He gets to play a really big jerk in this movie and was riffing on it. I'm actually doing my next movie with him (an as-yet-untitled comedy by James L. Brooks)."

Reese Witherspoon and Paul Rudd seem like the perfect team. Looking forward to the movie.

Gallery Info: Reese Witherspoon, Angie Harmon, Rainn Wilson, Alex Kingston, Heather Thomas, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogan, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, Jonah Hill, Jack Black, Kiefer Sutherland, Donal Logue, Harland Williams and Andy Richter at the Los Angeles premiere of Monsters vs Aliens.

Vanity Fair: Bare-Assed Comedy

Remember the issue of Vanity Fair from over three years ago which featured a nude Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley, whose earlobe was being nibbled on by a bare-chested Tom Ford? If not, this set-up with Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen should help job your memory.

Reminiscent of the feature and photoshoot they dedicated to female comedians last year, this issue features various funny guys and gals invoking the images of classic movie icons, from Russell Brand as Charlie Chaplin to real-life comedian couple Will Arnett and Amy Poehler posing as Bonnie & Clyde.

Check out three behind the scenes videos from the Vanity Fair shoot by clicking the continue reading link below.

Amy Poehler: 2009 SAG Awards Red Carpet

When you're a peaches and cream blond, you can't go wrong with the right shade of crisp white.

Amy Poehler chose a Grecian-esque Roberto Cavalli dress from his pre-fall 2009 collection for last night's SAG awards.

The Saturday Night Live alum looked sunny and simple with the only clear-cut embellishment being a silver broach on the breast and diamond stud earrings.

The empire waist cut is also notoriously forgiving for those battling with post-baby stomach flab. Not to say you are, Ames...
