Tina Fey Works Too Hard—and We're Grateful

Tina Fey is funny, brilliant and beautiful. But she wishes she were Paris Hilton. Or Lindsay Lohan. Or anybody else who makes money by the truckload without having to work until she collapses (and by “work,” we mean work work, not show-up-to-a-club work).

She tells Parade magazine:

I often feel like a complete fool. I’m here laboring over this tiny show so much, and around me people are making money by the fistful. It’s like, ‘Oh, man, how can I turn my personality into a line of crappy products?’ Rachael Ray sells, like, spoons. I could sell pencils.

So it’s only fitting that Fey and friends portray America’s Skankhearts on the April cover of Vanity Fair. (Watch the behind-the-scenes action below.)

Did playing the part of celebutante get her closer to her money-for-nothing dreams? Probably not. But she did get felt up by Amy Poehler. That's gotta be worth something.
