There really has been a dearth of funny ladies in Hollywood for a while…at least until recently. Women were usually the straight man, the eye candy, there for the lead guy to pursue, to impress, to harry and confound. Or, god forbid, the plucky sidekick.

Then an Emma Stone comes along. Or a Mila Kunis. Or an Anna Faris. Young, attractive girls who won’t stand around while the boys get all the laughs. So thank you Tina Fey, for making it okay for ladies to laugh again.

Though earning rave reviews (but disappointingly no Oscar nod) for Black Swan, Mila still loves doing comedies, saying:

“They’re just as hard, if not harder, to make work, compared with a drama. You work 17 hours a day, and you have to try to make things different and funny and relatable onscreen all at the same time.”

You’ve hit the nail on the head, Kunis. Comedy is hard — just think of the last time someone won an Oscar for a comedic performance. Though I heard The Blind Side was funny for all the wrong reasons.

Mila will next flex her comedic muscle alongside Emmy-winning actor and occasional popstar Justin Timberlake in Friends with Benefits, directed by Easy A‘s Will Gluck.

But before then we’ll see Mila on fashion’s biggest stage, the Oscar red carpet. I hope her gays are at work securing the best look…because I’m ready to slip in at a momen’t notice. Just sayin’.

It’s nice to see Anna Faris in clothes and looking like she has more than three brain cells. I don’t know who’s her agent but can someone tell them that the whole House Bunny, looking like a pin up in mens magazine thing is so not cool. Seriously, funny chicks make for bad fantazies cause you always think there’s gonna be a joke about body hair or pussy farts while your performing your nasty. Thank good someone is trying to mke this girl seem like she has some sense, fashion sense that is…

Anna Faris. The Smart Bombshell? Wait, doesn’t she normally play dumb in all the roles shes in?

Upon the release of her new film, The House Bunny, it’s been tough for us to remember Anna’s Scary Movie days. But boy were they there! Anna was no blonde with a fashionable approach to style, but she sure was a brunette who loved her leather pants. Thanks to a fabulous stylist, Anna’s been looking better than ever. Strutting the red carpet, Anna has recently been camera ready 24/7. She sure owes her stylist a big thank you!
