In the next issue of Vanity Fair, Tina Fey finally explains the origins of her famous facial scar. Actually she didn't do the explaining, she left it to her husband and let Tina fill in the blanks. "It was in, like, the front yard of her house, and somebody who just came up, and she just thought somebody marked her with a pen." Apparently it wasn't a pen, but rather, a knife. This was when she was five years old. Can you imagine someone just going to up to a five year old kid and slashing them with a knife? I sure as hell wouldn't want to talk about it either. Then to be the center of attention and have the question asked repeatedly ...

Vanity Fair : Tina Fey Drops 30 Pounds, Is Scarred For Life [Mag Hag]
Published 12/1/2008 by Intern Margaret at Jezebel
[image] Tina Fey looks lovely on the January 2009 cover of Vanity Fair , though, after reading the accompanying cover story by Maureen Dowd it's tempting to never mention her looks again. So much of the lengthy profile is devoted to marveling at the weight loss and makeover that transformed the "very mousy" Fey into everyone's favorite "brainy glamour-puss" that we almost wish Fey would revert to her "quite round" physique and dig out the thrift-store sweaters that she used to sport. However, the article is redeemed by featuring plenty of what really made Fey "A New American Sweetheart:" her funny quips, not her figure. A selection, after the jump. It ...

Tina Fey Trades The Secret Of The Scar For A Solo 'Vanity Fair' Cover [Quid Pro Quo]

Every so often, Vanity Fair will consent to putting a television star on their hallowed cover, but there's typically an implicit bargain that actor has to make to earn it. Think back to Teri Hatcher, who grabbed VF's top spot only after revealing how childhood sexual abuse led to fantasies of suicide (which the magazine teased on its cover with some disconcertingly unclad pictures of the star, because of course). Now, Vanity Fair has placed Tina Fey on the cover — an utterly justified spot, to be sure — and has finally nudged the actress and her husband to reveal something Fey always said she wouldn't: just ...

Tina Fey, Dancing

Normally, a promotional video for a Vanity Fair article wouldn't be worth watching, but this one has TINA FEY DANCING, so yes: Even the sight of Tina Fey having fun dancing doesn't mitigate most of the article, which is depressingly focused on Tina as a makeover subject, but it's definitely worth reading. Just not for lines like this: "Given her frumpy start in comedy and her wooden start on 30 Rock, it was a dazzling Cinderella moment... She got her own slipper, writing and willing herself into the role, and the shoe wasn't glass. It was a silver Manolo Blahnik." Oops, Vanity Fair. It's ...

Tina Fey Is Funny, But Also Kind Of Mean [This Thing Looks Like That Thing]

Last night's 30 Rock seemed a bit familiar, didn't it? It felt like something we'd read was just being basically reiterated to us, with a lot more jokes. The episode took place mostly at Liz's 20 year high school reunion, and we came to see that she was an acidic loner at her suburban Philadelphia school, with extra weight and big silly eyebrows. Where have we heard this tale before? Oh! Yes! Of course! In the cover story on Fey for this month's Vanity Fair! In the article she cops to being a bit of a nerdy weirdo joke-making loner in high school, and much is made of her biting mean streak. Which was... ...
