As always, Tina Fey gloriously impresses us with her charm and wit in this interview with Mark O’Brien of 7 Minutes in Heaven. Find out which Cosby she’d let watch her shower. The Mindy Project
We all got a sneak peek of Mindy Kaling’s new show on FOX. Called The Mindy Project, the trailer for the show was released at the FOX upfronts, and felt almost like watching the trailer for a romantic comedy. It looks like a fun lady-helmed show for us all to get behind. Follow the show on Twitter at @MindyProjectFOX.

Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy Starring in Buddy Cop Film
Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy are teaming up for a buddy cop movie. Wow, this is probably the first time a buddy cop comedy with two women in the lead will grace the big screen. Perhaps it’ll even pass the Bechdel test. This is a sure sign that maybe funny women are gaining equal ground in the industry.
SNL Says Goodbye to Kristen Wiig
And, of course, we all said a very emotional farewell to Kristen Wiig’s time on SNL. They sent her off with a sweet song as each cast member had a last dance with her to say their goodbyes. She’s on to bigger and better things, but she’ll remain one of SNL’s best.
I cried like a little baby during Kristen Wiig’s farewell! Such a satisfying send-off, though, with the other cast members’ emotional goodbyes and Mick Jagger singing to her!
