Are you aware that Tina Fey's husband looks like this?
This photo is from last night's premiere of Baby Mama--Tina Fey and her husband Jeff Richmond.
They met while they were both working at Second City and have been married since 2001. I would bet cash money that he is a wonderful and funny guy. Incredibly, Fey says that before she met him she "could not get a date."
But I have to hand it to Tina Fey for staying with this guy instead of doing what other celebrities who suddenly find their public value rocketing to super-fame levels would do, such as divorcing him to trade up for someone more famous like Naveen Andrews or John Stamos (or even her agent.) She's a real movie star now; in terms of media measurement of her fame, she's progressed from being on the cover of Bust to being on the covers of magazines at the checkout at Rite Aid.
How many TV/movie stars under 40 at a Tina Fey-level of fame can you think of who are married to a someone who a) you've never heard of, and b) also isn't conventionally attractive (i.e. not a former model)? Anyone?

Cate Blanchett and her husband Andrew Upton have these two beat for greatest attractiveness differential between famous actress and less famous crinkly husband.
Here's something incredible: Andrew Upton is only 3 years older than Cate! But he looks 10 years older than he actually is, and she has a professional stylist.

In the American Express ad campaign, she more or less portrays herself as the frantic, overwrought single mom.

@Jeff There's a difference between frantic overwrought single Mom and frantic overwrought working Mom. They're both busy.

He may not win any beauty prizes, but his features, oddly, look really cute on their little girl.

Good point, Kiki. They did produce a cute baby, though she does have sort of Winston Churchill-ish features that I see now are a result of her father's genetic input. He's got a solid, dignified look. That girl will be a well-spoken riot in 3rd grade.

Re: Cate Blanchett's hubby, perhaps that's why she has a younger (20's), more conventionally attractive boy toy...

Oops - scratch that. I was thinking of Tilda Swinton. Blurgh.

OMG! Creepy!!! (And, probably, crepey.)

Has anyone ever seen a pic of Tina Fey just a few years ago, back when she was fat? (or her current "former fat girl" ass which is always carefully-hidden-on-camera)? Her husband may not be a looker but to be honest, Tina's pretty lucky he's male.

Did you see pic #13? Faye Dunaway's left hand looks gross.

Michelle and esskay, it's true. Faye Dunaway's hand appears to be made out of some kind of gruesome bloody oatmealy cadaver-flesh.

Wow. Maynolast sounds like a really f'ed up stalkerish character - the type that become so obsessed with a celebrity that they pick out a 'trait' that they can identify with as being 'not perfect' and then spread it around to make themselves feel 'closer' or some shit like that.
Really dude ... if your 'thing' is to try and ... you know what, fuck it. I don't have the energy to finish this post. Seek help. It will be okay. You will find someone to love you. I promise.

Is Cate Blanchett under 40? If so, her husband has this guy beaten in the "not conventionally attractive" race.
