Kristen Wiig in sexy lingerie (GQ photos)

Most know her for her sense of humor, but Kristen Wiig is showing off a side many don’t see very often. Kristen Wiig poses in black lingerie in GQ's new 'Men of the Year'…



The “Saturday Night Live” star appears in GQ’s “Men of the Year” issue, showing off her body in nothing but black lingerie and a tuxedo jacket.

Named “Bro of the Year” in the magazine, Wiig receives praise from her “Bridesmaids” co-star Jon Hamm.

Before teaming up on the big screen to play Wiig’s arrogant, egotistical lover, Hamm first noticed the actress while watching an “SNL” skit titled “Lady Business.”



"Kristen's line was, ‘I'm a bitch in the boardroom, a bore in the bedroom, and I'm a bear on the toilet,' which she delivered with over-the-top seriousness," Hamm, 40, said. "I thought, 'My God, this girl is funny.' "

Hamm admits that while Wiig is "incredibly shy," he admires her talents to dramatically transform into different characters on-screen.

"This is a woman who wore coconuts on her t--s on 'SNL,'” he said. “She can go to the craziest, most grotesque places on plant in character."

Her knack for taking on the raunchiest of roles isn't the only thing Hamm admires.

Here's the video about Kristen Wiig stripping down for GQ Magazine:

Kristen Wiig is NOT going to make a Porky's Sequel!!! (Guardian Interview)

Kristen Wiig's gone from working as a waitress to filming with Robert De Niro and Sean Penn. Emma Brockes hears how the summer's hit film Bridesmaids helped put the actor on the map.



Kristen Wiig: 'Bridesmaids was definitely the biggest role I’ve ever had.'

Kristen Wiig has had the kind of summer one might imagine to be life-changing. For four years, she and Annie Mumolo, her friend and co-writer, slaved over a comedy script commissioned by Judd Apatow about a woman whose best friend is getting married. It was the 38-year-old's first lead in a film, and her first full-length script to be produced. As an indication of how it played with audiences, I watched it on a plane last month with a friend who, during the scene in which the bride squats in the street to relieve herself after a bad kebab, laughed so long and hard a woman passing in the aisle leant over and said, "What are you watching?"

Wiig smiles when I tell her this. "Proud," she says, of the day they filmed the shi**ing-in-the-street scene. "A proud moment."

We are in the tearoom of a fashionable hotel in Tribeca, the Manhattan neighbourhood where Wiig lives. Before Bridesmaids, she was known to US audiences as a long-running cast member of Saturday Night Live and elsewhere for scene-stealing cameos in films such as Ghost Town and Knocked Up.

That the film, by midsummer, had grossed more than $150m in the US and outstripped not only all of Apatow's other films, but every "R-rated female comedy" in history, puts Wiig in the zone of woman of the moment, although she chafes against this, with its implication that before Bridesmaids she was an ingenue.

The famous duelling speeches scene from Bridesmaids:

Next SNL Hosts: Steve Buscemi, Katy Perry, & Jimmy Fallon

Episode 710 - December 3, 2011



"Steve Buscemi" & The Black Keys


Episode 711 - December 10, 201



"Katy Perry" & Robyn


Episode 712 - December 17, 2011



"Jimmy Fallon" & Michael Bublé

=============

Steve Buscemi has also hosted on 04.04.1998 (he played the Mad Hatter, was in Bill Clinton, Morning Latte, Goth Talk, and Judge Judy skits). He cameo'd on 10.15.1994 when John Travolta hosted (Steve was in "Quentin Tarantino's Welcome Back, Kotter") and he did a filmed cameo on 04.15.2000 when Tobey Maguire hosted.

Katy Perry should be interesting. Katy was a musical guest on 09.25.2010 (Amy Poehler hosted). She got her acting chops going by playing a young woman who was well endowed on Bronx Beat (Maya Rudolph cameo'd) and she cameo'd in Boogerman (a horrible use of Katy Perry in a digital short).



Kristen and Jimmy are hilarious together on the Late Night Show (and they costarred in Whip It). I can't wait to see what they've cooked up together!

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig plays Chess with Andy Samberg (SNL Digital Short)

Olivia Munn and Jason Segel give cameo appearances here...

Want a new approach to picking up women? Try a classic game, such as chess, or even a staring contest.

I didn't see the Staring Contest one, but there are a few bits here, like eating glass...



I think this really goes back to a lot of the infomercial skits that were more common on In Living Color, SCTV, and 70s/80s SNL (specifically Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy were masters of the infomercial skits, where they established repeat characters with them).

What did you think?

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Kathy Lee - and is back!!! (SNL Regis Philbin auditions)

With Regis' last show in the books, the producers pair Kelly Ripa up with some potential replacements including Charles Barkley, George Lopez and Denzel Washington.

Some fantastic impressions here! The audience is LOVING it!!!



It's also clear that the audience wants another skit devoted to Jay as Denzel Washtington!

Kristen comes on at the end as... you guessed it...

Kathy Lee Gifford!

What's the best impression???

Jason Segel's Antonia Banderas
Kristen Wiig's Kathy Lee Gifford
Bobby Moynihan's Rosie O'Donnell
Jay Pharoah's Denzel Washington

I loved Bobby's Rosie! Short and sweet, but all four of these (as well as Bill Hader's take) were all hilarious!

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig + Jason Segel + Florence & the Machine = SNL Promo goodness!!!

Jason Segel hosts an all-new SNL 11/19 with musical guest Florence and the Machine.

Kristen Wiig announces for "Les Jeunes de Paris" (no video ever!!!)



Why isn't it ever online? What's the deal?



Show - Les Jeunes de Paris

Emma Stone ... Juliette
Fred Armisen ... captain
Paul Brittain ... Marius
Abby Elliott ... French girl
Taran Killam ... Francois
Bobby Moynihan ... Stewart
Nasim Pedrad ... French girl
Andy Samberg ... Quasimodo
Kristen Wiig ... announcer (voice)

Andy Samberg played Quasimodo! Hilarious!

My guess is that there's a song in it that NBC doesn't have the rights to. That's why it never makes it online.

What? Lose the song! Edit it out or stop including the song in these skits! Something!!!



So "Les Jeunes de Paris" has been on SNL three times now...

10.23.2010
03.05.2011
11.12.2011

Kristen has always announced for it.

Emma Stone appeared as Juliette in the first episode with it, so naturally it's back for this time when she hosts.

Maybe Emma was involved when writing it, but it seems to be a writing collaboration between the newer guys, Taran, Paul, and Bobby:



Andy Samberg once played a mime:



Even the returning ladies are played by Abby and Nasim, like they're excluding the SNL legends who likely are leaving the show soon...

Vanessa Bayer ... Kendra
Abby Elliott ... Maria
Taran Killam ... stripper

A bridal shower first timer makes things awkward with her behaivor and gift choices.



Andy and Taran are the strippers. But don't get too excited. They don't get to strip. =^)

This is pretty funny. The cast mostly supports Emma's new character here, Wallace. I can see Emma coming back to host again with a character like this.

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig gets felt up... by a Mic? (Herb Welch on SNL)

Veteran reporter Herb Welch covers an angry group of residents who are battling falling ice.

Show - WXPD News New York


Emma Stone ... Cynthia Coraline Aronowitz
Bill Hader ... Herb Welch
Steve Higgins ... announcer (voice)
Nasim Pedrad ... Wanda Ramirez
Jason Sudeikis ... Jack Rizzoli
Kristen Wiig ... president



Bill Hader takes hitting Kristen Wiig in her privates to extreme levels, which makes Kristen almost crack a smile, and Hader cracks at the end there.

The crowd bursts out in laughter.

Hader just doesn't look old enough in these skits.

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Michele Bachmann in the SNL Cold Opening where Rick Perry forgets

The latest Republican debate for the party's seat in the 2012 presidential race is marked by Rick Perry's inability to finish points.

Cold Opening - The Republican Presidential Debate

Fred Armisen ... John Harwood
Paul Brittain ... Ron Paul
Bill Hader ... Rick Perry
Steve Higgins ... announcer (voice)
Taran Killam ... Jon Huntsman
Bobby Moynihan ... Newt Gingrich
Nasim Pedrad ... Maria Bartiromo
Andy Samberg ... Rick Santorum
Jason Sudeikis ... Mitt Romney
Kenan Thompson ... Herman Cain
Kristen Wiig ... Michele Bachmann



Andy is freaking out a little.

Love the Mice & Men reference! Not entirely sure why they didn't really have Mitt shoot Perry.

So this skit barely covers Cain's sexual allegations (women who he supposedly unsuccessfully hit on for affairs have come forward). But then it focuses on Perry's mistake (forgetting the third government department he would close) and then beautifully turned it into a Mice & Men reference.

Interestingly they showed Romney to be the intelligent and clever one in this skit.

This is Kristen's sixth appearance as Michele Bachmann, but she only appears in one shot in this skit!

Enjoy!

Bill Hader ... Lyle Round

This is Kristen's sixth appearance as Mindy.

The skit is pretty lame, but Emma Stone's Charlene really outshines everyone here!

Should Kristen Wiig Play Chord Overstreet's Mom?




TVLine.com is reporting that Smallville alum John Schneider has been cast as Sam's dad. As of right now, he's only booked for one episode, the same one where Chord makes his big return (episode eight)...

Glee is currently casting for Sam's mom, aka: Momma Trouty-Mouth, and we have first dibs as to who we think should grace Lima, Ohio with her presence. We've come up with some fabulous ladies who would be perfect to play the mom of a life-sized Ken doll and we need your help to decide who would be the very best...

That's right, take it all in! Sam's return is only four episodes away and rumor has it he'll be singing Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song." However, the actress who will play his mom has not yet been unveiled. A little fishy has told us that they are looking for a blonde or brunette woman in her 40s. Hmm…

True, Glee will most likely cast a lesser-known actress for the part, but just let us dream, OK? Whoever this woman will be, we hear she might be around for more than one episode. We are so excited to finally get to meet some more parents this season (still waiting on Rachel's dads!), so we've rounded up out Top Picks to join the cast as Mrs. Evans:

Kristen Wiig: After watching her numerous years on SNL and practically choking on our Sour Patch Kids from laughter during Bridesmaids, we are confident that Wiig could take any role and spin it into comedic gold. And as an added bonus she totally looks like she could be related to Sam! (It's all in the noses.)

Andy Samberg ... Gavin "What If It Had Boobs" Speiller
Jason Sudeikis ... Chris "Who Said That" Bruss
Kenan Thompson ... David "Beef Jelly" Winfield
Kristen Wiig ... Shania "In These Shoes?" Tunt

The kings of catchphrases are back, and this time Dirk 'Jack-Knife' Cane is in the house!



Kristen's bit wasn't really funny, but she still sold it with the look afterward.

My favorite bits are how Andy Samberg channeled Adam Sandler for the b00b$ bit, Nasim Pedrad's v@gina bit, (nice set up), Black Stewie Griffin, and Adam "Hawk Attack" Levine. Hahaha.

Boston Powers, Slappy Pappy, Funky Boy, News Flash, Beef Jelly, and Fur Coat Rhonda didn't have the same punch as they did last time (understandable, since it's a one-joke gag, but still I'd think they could keep them fresh somehow).


Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Kris Jenner (SNL's Kardashians)

Commercial - Kim's Fairytale Divorce


Charlie Day ... Ken Harris

Abby Elliott ... Khloé Kardashian
Bill Hader ... announcer (voice)
Taran Killam ... Bruce Jenner
Nasim Pedrad ... Kim Kardashian
Jay Pharoah ... Lamar Odom
Andy Samberg ... Kris Humphries
Kristen Wiig ... Kris Jenner

You've watched the wedding special, now get an all-access pass to Kim Kardashian's divorce from Kris Humphries.



Kristen does a good job selling the mom who wants attention. I think the surprise winner here is Taran Killam's Bruce Jenner impression!

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is the director in a Dolphin Movie

Sketch - Because Of One Dolphin

Charlie Day ... Terry
Paul Brittain ... marker
Taran Killam ... Miles
Kenan Thompson ... boom mic operator
Kristen Wiig ... director

An actor has trouble working in a scene with a dolphin, and the production crew doesn't seem to understand.



Kristen plays the director straight. The tension here is that Charlie Day's Terry gets distracted by the weird dolphin commands.

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig gets crabs from sex with Andy Samberg (SNL's Greek gods)

Let's talk about this hilarious and witty sketch...

Sketch - Greek Gods

Charlie Day ... Dionysus
Adam Levine ... Yanni
Fred Armisen ... Klaus
Vanessa Bayer ... Artemis
Paul Brittain ... Hermes
Abby Elliott ... Aphrodite
Bill Hader ... Hades
Taran Killam ... Ares
Bobby Moynihan ... Demeter
Nasim Pedrad ... Athena
Jay Pharoah ... Apollo
Andy Samberg ... Poseidon
Jason Sudeikis ... Zeus
Kenan Thompson ... Eros
Kristen Wiig ... Hera

Zeus summons the gods to figure out the financial crisis in Greece.



Jason Sudeikis has the largest part (as Zeus), but Andy's gag comes back because he's the god who turns into a dolphin who has sex...

And that's where Kristen Wiig comes in!

All are on their game here. Bobby Moynihan is pretty funny as the god of harvest (I think the god of harvest should have been put on the spot more for economic responsibility), Andy Samberg as Poseidon who turns into a dolphin when making love, Jay Pharoah puts on some white makeup for a funny gag as Apollo, and Kristen Wiig makes a great bitter wife, who happens to have gotten crabs from making love with Andy Samberg's Poseidon.

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Judy Grimes (11/5/11) on SNL!

Kristen Wiig's Judy Grimes is back!

Weekend Update

Seth Meyers
Bill Hader ... Rick Perry
Bill Hader ... announcer (voice)
Kristen Wiig ... Judy Grimes



Weekend Update travel guru Judy Grimes again wrestles with her nerves on air.



This is Kristen's sixth appearance as Judy Grimes.

She did this character on...
04.12.2008
09.27.2008
01.17.2009
09.26.2009
04.24.2010
11.05.2011

Now this is not one of her most popular characters (like Lawrence Welk's Dooneese, Gilly, Penelope, Shana, two A-Holes, Kat and Garth, Target Lady), but it's probably one of the best to show that Kristen Wiig has MAD SKILLS.

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig - Bridesmaids reunion

Kristen Wiig, Judd Apatow and Co. Offer 9 Things You Didn’t Know About Bridesmaids



For the first time since Bridesmaids premiered this past spring, the comedy’s filmmakers and cast gathered last night in Hollywood for a special Screen Actors Guild Awards screening of their surprise box office smash. Afterward, Judd Apatow (who executive produced the film) moderated a Q&A panel comprised of director Paul Feig, stars Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Melissa McCarthy and Wendi McLendon-Covey as well as Annie Mumolo, who co-wrote the screenplay with Wiig. What transpired was an entertaining discussion about the movie “that changed female comedy.” The most exciting revelations follow.

1. Many of Kristen Wiig’s onscreen trials and tribulations are based on the real-life experiences of co-writer Mumolo — including the P.O.S. car.

Mumolo: I did drive that car except mine had the two rearview mirrors hanging off the side and one was sort of duct-taped on. That was my car.

Wiig: Annie was a bridesmaid, I think, seven times in two years. She’s really popular.

Mumolo: Not anymore. But yeah, I was a bridesmaid seven times. One time, two [weddings] at once. I had the experience of watching all of your friends working it out and doing it but not doing it yourself in any way, shape or form. [I remember] going to these fancy engagement parties and coming back to my apartment and having to crawl through the window because the door swells with the weather. You’d have to pull out the air conditioner and climb in — with all of these fancy party favors. Stuff like that.

2. Wendi based her character on horrible moms everywhere — including the ones on Bravo.

Apatow: You fake hatred for kids well.

McLendon-Covey: That’s because so many people I meet and eavesdrop on — that’s one of my special skills on my resume — talk so badly about their kids. It’s just horrifying. You think, “Okay, well someone’s going to kill you in your sleep.” The Real Housewives of Orange County — I take a lot of material from them because those bitches just cannot be placated. They cannot be happy about anything. They’re all rich. They have perfectly nice husbands and they just hate every minute of it.”

3. Rose Byrne had little to no actual bridesmaid experience when she joined this movie.

McLendon-Covey: Poor Rose. She’s from Australia and they don’t do this in Australia. They don’t have bridal showers and all of this stuff. She was like, “What are you talking about? I don’t know what that is.” But she sure picked up on it.

4. All onscreen defecation was real. (Just kidding)

But you did actually poop on the street. Because you’re method, like De Niro.
Apatow: [Joking] But you did actually poop on the street. Because you’re method, like De Niro.

Rudolph: That was real everybody.

Apatow: Melissa too. All real.

McCarthy: It was important for me to make that realistic.

5. At one point, Melissa McCarthy’s character was supposed to be even crazier.

Wiig: We didn’t want to make [Megan] too crazy. At one point I remember we were like, “Should she only dress in rockabilly [clothing]?”

McCarthy: I actually had a four-hour fitting for a rockabilly wardrobe, which was really unflattering.

Feig: We should publish those pictures because I’ve never seen you look less happy.

Wiig: A lot of black bowling shirts with flames. Caring so much about the character, it was that we wanted her to look a certain way but be feminine. […] She could have really long fingernails and wear a pearl necklace but also have a carpal tunnel wrist brace on her arm…

Feig: …that is never explained.

6. Ellie Kemper cannot lie about a bad haircut.

Wiig: [to McCarthy] Remember you had that [very short] wig on and Ellie, who is the most polite person in the world, thought you had cut your hair.

McCarthy: I was in the trailer and Ellie is kind of exactly like she seems in the movie — but smarter, greater and not as crazy. I came in and Ellie [saw my hair] and said [in spot-on Ellie Kemper impression], “Oh! Hi! Look what you did!” I just let her hang. I had a random conversation about traffic because I could tell in her head, she was like “Ohhhhh.”

Finally, I said, “You know it’s a wig, right?” And said “Oh! Oh! God.”

7. The dress fitting scene laden with bathroom humor was not Kristen Wiig’s idea.

Wiig: Judd and Paul threw it out when we were doing a lot of rewrites. You want to have really funny things in the movie but the most important thing is the story. We had to figure out how my character messes up again and again and slowly drives Lillian insane. We had a whole other scene that was in there for awhile and we really needed to up the stakes. Judd said, “You know, they go to a restaurant before [the dress fitting]. Maybe it’s a really bad restaurant and something happens.” Initially, Annie and I were like, “Uh, so there is going to be throwing up and shit? OK.” But to Paul and Judd’s credit, it was done in a very nurturing way. They said, “Write your version. If it works, it works.” So Annie and I sat down and wrote…”and then Megan gets up on the sink.”

8. Speaking of the disastrous sink incident, Melissa McCarthy had to do an official jump test before shooting.

McCarthy: I kept thinking [the sink sequence] will probably go away before we shoot. Then there was the moment where they said, “We need you to come and do a jump test to see if the sink is the right height.” The crew guys who had not read the script were looking around like, “What the hell is about to happen?” It was about two hours. They would say, “You’re pretty short and a regular vanity would come up to about here.” I was like, “Why am I having this conversation about my jumping ability!?”

Feig: There were some seriously technical discussions about shitting in a sink.

9. Megan and Air Marshall Jon are married in real life.

McCarthy: My favorite scene [to shoot] was the plane. Kristen kept coming through the [first class curtains] with a completely different character — all so funny. At one point, we had to realize that we couldn’t just be laughing through the takes. And also because I got to work with my husband.

Feig: For those of you who don’t know, Air Marshall Jon is Melissa’s real-life husband. Ben Falcone, SAG member. He’s vested!
