VF's Very Funny Girls
Helluva Green Room, Annie Leibovitz! Vanity Fair trots out our top female funnies in their April issue, knighting Tina Fey, Sarah Silverman and Amy Poehler on the cover as the new guard in comedy queens.
As seen in the above glossy, the ladies channel pop tarts for the photog (it's doubtless Amy Winehouse ever got a laugh for poliical parody). Sarah does her best Amy, complete with pinup-girl tattoos, The Office sweetheart Jenna Fischer goes Lindsay Lohan (center) and Wanda Sykes gets nasty as Lil Kim (right).
“There is no question that there are a million more funny women than there used to be,” writer Nora Ephron says of the featured femmes, also including E!'s Chelsea Handler (second from left) and Sandra Bernhard (left).
Alessandra Stanley's cover story explores the recent inundation of female-driven comedy that, while capturing mass audiences (good move on f***ing Matt Damon, Sarah), relies heavily on sex appeal.
30 Rock creator Tina thinks you can thank Jennifer Aniston for that.
"In the '90s, it seemed like every person on a sitcom — think of the cast of Friends —was just really foxy," Tina says.
Joan Rivers echoes the sentiments.
"Nowadays, you can’t even get on open mike with less than a C cup," the Botoxed comedy vet said.
The issue, C cups and all, hits newsstands nationwide next Tuesday.
