Bossypants by Tina Fey: By now, I think it’s universally known (at least to Actualists) that I am a big fan of comedy. That is why I am beyond excited to read Tina Fey’s new book, Bossypants, which came out April 5th. Tina Fey is a pioneer in comedy. The self-proclaimed “supernerd” was the first female head writer in Saturday Night Live history. As a line from the book reads, “Only in comedy does an obedient white girl from the suburbs count as diversity.” She was also a co-anchor of Weekend Update, along side Jimmy Fallon. She created the smart and hilarious 30-minute situation comedy 30 Rock, which is part of NBC’s Thursday night comedy line up. She also wrote and starred in a little movie called “Mean Girls,” which grossed over an estimated $86,049,418 in the United States alone. Oh yeah, and she has a husband and daughter and is pregnant with her second child. Tina Fey has become a household name but she comes from humble beginnings. She leaves a trail of laughter everywhere she goes, which is why I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of Bossypants and possibly pretend Tina herself is reading it to me.

Will Ferrell on The Office: Bare with me, Actualists- I realize my love for Saturday Night Live alumni is shining through a bit in this post. I feel as though this season, despite being Steve Carell’s last, has been missing something. I’ve found myself bored and slightly annoyed with the Michael/Holly storyline, as cute as it is… or rather, as it’s supposed to be. The old, goofy, daffy, self proclaimed world’s best boss has been missing from the recent episodes and I believe Will Ferrell will bring all of the old Michael Scott energy back to the office. I guess we’ll have to tune in on Thursday night to find out!

Return of Glee: Two words for you- Jonathan Groff. I heard he’ll be back for at least one episode this season (probably the last) but that one episode will make this ridiculously long hiatus worth it.

Adele in Concert at the House of Blues, Boston: …Oh wait… I’m not going! The tickets sold out in approximately two minutes, which I was not expecting at all. Can you imagine though- Adele and her amazingly beautiful voice in such an intimate setting? It sounds too good to be true, so I guess I will continue to pretend she’s not really coming to Boston and just keep listening to 21 non stop.

“Bridesmaids”: Sorry, the SNL love fest continues. Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, along with Rose Byrne, the always funny Melissa McCarthy, Ellie Kemper, Wendi McLendon-Covey, oh and JON HAMM round out the cast for this comedy, out May 13th. I am beyond excited about it, so take a look at the trailer below. Let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint! Who wants to see it with me?
Emma Stone in “The Help”: Emma Stone is one of my favorite actresses, and someone I would love to be friends with. I think we would get along famously, don’t you agree? I am also beyond jealous she can rock any color hair, and make it look good. But back to her acting skills- so far we have seen her in mostly comedic roles. The Help is an extremely good book, and playing Skeeter Phelan will be no small task. She will be the main character and the whole movie’s success will be based on Emma’s performance. Hoewever, I believe Emma is the right girl for the job. She definitely has what it takes to carry the movie. I can’t wait to see it!

“I Hate You, Dad”: Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg playing a father, son duo. With Leighton Meester, James Caan and Vanilla Ice attached to the project so far. Out next summer (2012). I will leave you with that. You’re welcome.

I haven't quite gotten over the fact that we're not going to Adele. :(
