Happy Fuck Yeah 31st Birthday to Rachel McAdams. Personally I prefer Brunette Rachel to Blonde Rachel (which she is naturally!) but she rocks both well. Green Rachel is pretty awesome too —according to IMDB, she is the co-founder of www.greenissexy.org, a website which helps raise awareness about the environment. She doesn’t own a car and rides a bike in order to conserve energy.
Rachel, you do make “fetch” happen. And OMG THE DUCK SCENE! THE DUCK SCENE!
A very happy belated birthday to Aishwarya Rai Bachan. The most beautiful woman in the world turned 36 on Sunday.
FUCK YEAH DIANE KRUGER!
I had forgotten about her since she was the blandly beautiful Helen in Troy, but then I saw her last night in Inglorious Basterds and got an education in how much she rocked. I loved her as the double-agent Bridget von Hammersmark, totally glam and gay while being deadly engaged in the business of serious espionage. And she looked absolutely gorgeous at the ill-fated film premiere, all decolletage, trailing mink, and open-toe cast. Whoever did the wardrobe for that movie nailed it. Her shoes got more attentioin than shoes usually do in movies, and they were both perfection. So was she.
Oh, also - she’s a blonde, ballsy and beautiful 33. Fuck Yeah to many more killer roles, for now and past the two-year mark where our pal Colette Burson, co-creator of Hung, seems to think she’ll be all washed up. I really really hate Colette Burson.
Hello Tumblr. It’s my birthday on Saturday. I’m celebrating at Water Taxi Beach on Governors Island. You should come.
But also, I’m trying to raise some money for Goods 4 Good.
Instead of getting me a gift or buying me a drink, maybe you could give a few dollars to help Malawian children stay in school? I’d be much obliged.
Please and thank you. Meghan
FUCK YEAH MEGHAN! And fuck yeah, we donated: $30 from the FY30s girls. Welcome to an ass-kicking decade.
Fuck Yeah Rebecca Gayheart! The Urban Legend and 90210 actress just starred in a verrrry popular online video - 2,557,642 pageviews on Gawker and counting! Not too shabby, to be the 38-year old star of a sex video. (Unless you happen to think it’s shabby to be the star of a sex video.) She was also the star of those incredibly effective Noxema commercials back when I was a teenager (we ALL had those little blue tubs of cream in our bathrooms, though I am not convinced it actually did anything). The slogan still holds true for Gayheart today: “Noxema Girls Get Noticed.” Indeeeeeed.
(Too soon?)
I am a recent convert to “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and I am delighted to report that the beautiful and hilarious Kaitlin Olson, who plays Deandra “Sweet Dee” Reynolds, just turned 34 this past Tuesday. Happy fuck yeah birthday!
This scene above is from The Nightman Cometh, which, along with Dr. Horrible, is making people too cool for musical theater totally love musical theater. Sweet Dee is, of course, totally believable as she sings to the Tiny Boy, Baby Boy that she wants/needs to make love to her (played by her brother). Her fine stagework is made all the more impressive by the fact that she cannot raise her arms.
Though I sometimes long for Dee to realize she’s gorgeous and land some rich dude and be done with it, she is, of course, appalling, which makes her, of course, more appealing. From Fafarazzi.com: “Although Deandra was originally written as a female voice of sanity to contrast with her ill-intentioned co-stars, the character became an equal participant in the gang’s illicit and morally questionable activities after Olson was cast.” Thank. God.
So: Fuck Yeah to the gorgeous, hilarious and talented Kaitlin Olson! Alas, she’s got one year until she’s ugly and untalented, according to Colette Burson, co-creator of “Hung.” Crazy how that happens!

FUCK YEAH DOREE SHAFRIR!
A few months ago, Doree wrote a piece for the New York Observer with which I vociferously disagreed, all about how thirtysomething women in New York have issues about marriage, or wanting marriage, or being perceived about wanting marriage. Not my experience! But! As anyone who reads this blog is well aware, I am all for women in their thirties owning their Fuck Yeah Thirties-dom, so brava to her on her new column for Jezebel, all about being thirty. (Back when I turned the big 3-0 I did a series for the National Post in Canada called “Turning Thirty” that, alas, is not online though, hilariously, it is hinted at in my old Mediabistro resume page. If anything was gonna date me, that would!)
Anyhow! Women in their 20s are awesome and then they get a few years older and learn a bit more and they become even more awesome. So brava to Doree for putting that out there. Welcome to the Fuck Yeah club, baby!
God, who wouldn’t find these women amazing? I wouldn’t throw them out of bed, I’ll tell you that.
BTW, I think (hope) the Jonah Hill’s mother thing is a joke…but yes, Amy Poehler indeed played Rachel MacAdam’s mom in “Mean Girls” - and by the way Poehler got it wrong, she was actually only 7 years older (Poehler was born in ‘71, MacAdam was born in ‘78).
Just getting in under the wire (well, NYC time at least) —
Happy Birthday Evangeline Lilly — Welcome to your FuckYeah 30s! You’re already pretty FuckYeah and while we expect even more FuckYeah from you in the future, we appreciate the FuckYeah you already contribute.
Man, FuckYeah is a versatile word.
Leslie Mann is 37. Married to Judd Apatow, stars in his movies. Could be the weak link and yet - so isn’t. Is hilarious and real and gorgeous and accessible. Pairs off easily with very hot men (Paul Rudd, Zac Efron); holds her own comedically; has ridiculously gorgeous straweberry blonde hair. Also, I have no idea why her career seems to have stalled briefly after Cable Guy, which was a highly underrated movie. But anyway - she’s 37 and fabulous, and even Zac Efron wanted to bone her, so bite me, Colette Burson, co-creator of Hung.
