The Vanity Fair bash, co-hosted by Bloomberg, also brought out celebrity couples — Jason Sudeikis stuck close to fiancée Olivia Wilde, Sofia Vergara mingled with her own spouse-to-be Nick Loeb, and Bradley Cooper brought his young model love, Suki Waterhouse.

Tina Fey Premieres Admission and Responds to Taylor Swift's Diss

Tina Fey and Paul Rudd joined up to premiere their new flick, Admission, in NYC last night.

Tina Fey and Paul Rudd joined up to premiere their new flick, Admission, in NYC last night. Paul sported a new retro mustache that he had to grow for Anchorman 2, which is currently filming in Atlanta. Paul told The Hollywood Reporter that everyone is "a bit giddy" about the highly anticipated sequel, adding that the cast members — which include Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate — "all have such fond memories of the first one."

While Paul's facial hair raised a few eyebrows at the premiere, the real focus of the night was Taylor Swift's recent slam of Tina and Amy Poehler in an upcoming issue of Vanity Fair. When asked about Tina and Amy's joke about her during the Golden Globes, Taylor recited a quote about there being "a special place in hell for women who don't help other women." Tina talked to Entertainment Tonight about Taylor's remarks during the premiere, saying that she "did not see that one coming." She added, "It was a joke. It was a lighthearted joke."

This Is 40: Comedy at Its Most Painful

This Is 40, Judd Apatow's latest directorial effort, warns audiences about the dangers of blinking, meaning if you close your eyes you risk waking up decades later, wondering how you got to be so darn old.

This Is 40, Judd Apatow's latest directorial effort, warns audiences about the dangers of blinking, meaning if you close your eyes you risk waking up decades later, wondering how you got to be so darn old. In a more literal sense, I did blink while watching the film. In fact, I full-on closed my eyes at the sight of Paul Rudd spread eagle with nothing but a strategically place hand mirror covering his man parts; I cringed while Pete (Rudd) and his wife, Debbie (Leslie Mann), screamed at each other for the umpteenth time; I yawned, I scoffed, but as with most of Apatow's projects, I also laughed and related to the conflicted characters.

This movie is billed as the "sort-of sequel" to Knocked Up, but it's more like a spin-off, centring completely on Pete and Debbie's clan five years later. The kids (played by Apatow and Mann's real-life children, Maude and Iris Apatow), are growing up and acting out — if watching unhealthy amounts of Lost qualifies as acting out — and the whole family is hitting a palpable rough patch. The film's unflinching honesty about shifting family dynamics is one of its strengths, but it's also undoubtedly uncomfortable to watch as resentment curdles and touches every aspect of the characters' lives. To find out what else I thought, just keep reading.

The Best Highlights From the 2013 Golden Globes!

The 2013 Golden Globes were full of excitement and emotion in LA yesterday.

The 2013 Golden Globes were full of excitement and emotion in LA yesterday. Hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler kept the evening light with their jokes and antics, like Amy nuzzling with George Clooney in the audience and the two of them likening Kathryn Bigelow's short-lived marriage to James Cameron to "torture." Other stars also got some big laughs as well, including presenter Aziz Ansari, who pretended to be stoned from Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery's weed cookies. Sacha Baron Cohen gave a mini roast of his Les Misérables co-stars, when he joked about Anne Hathaway's infamous upskirt incident and sarcastically remarked that Russell Crowe's singing lessons in preparation for the film was "money well spent." Jodie Foster came out while accepting her Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award, moving many attendees to tears.

The show was also full of some big, surprising wins. Ben Affleck nabbed best director for Argo after getting shut out of the category for the Oscar nominations on Friday, and Argo also won best drama motion picture over Lincoln. Hugh Jackman picked up the best actor in a comedy or musical honour, beating out favourite Bradley Cooper. Most winners broke down into happy tears while accepting their awards, including Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway and Lena Dunham. Lena got particularly emotional while admitting that she had looked up to her fellow best actress nominees when she was younger and that they helped her get through awkward moments. Always quick to add a joke, nominees Tina and Amy joked that they were happy they could get the young Lena "through middle school." Be sure to check out the full list of Golden Globes winners and weigh in on your favourite styles in our red carpet fashion and beauty polls.

Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd Dish on Their This Is 40 Stoner Scene

Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprise their Knocked Up roles as Pete and Debbie in the upcoming film This Is 40.

Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprise their Knocked Up roles as Pete and Debbie in the upcoming film This Is 40. We recently caught up with the co-stars to ask them about revisiting the onscreen couple and what they mined from their own marriages as they developed the script with Leslie's husband, Judd Apatow. Of course, we also had to ask them about a particularly funny scene their characters share while under the influence. Check out our chat before This Is 40 hits Aussie cinemas on January 17.

Megan Fox, Paul Rudd and the Apatow-Mann Clan Debut This Is 40

Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann and Megan Fox celebrated the premiere of their new movie, This Is 40, in LA last night.

Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann and Megan Fox celebrated the premiere of their new movie, This Is 40, in LA last night. Megan, wearing Roland Mouret, and Paul were joined by their co-star Leslie, in a Vionnet dress, and her family. Leslie's husband, Judd Apatow, directed the film, and their two daughters, Maude and Iris Apatow, play Leslie and Paul's children in the movie, which is loosely billed as a sequel to 2007's Knocked Up. Jason Segel, who is also in the film, attended the premiere but without girlfriend Michelle Williams by his side. Lena Dunham dropped by the event to show some support for Judd, an executive producer on her show, Girls. Lena was spotted goofing around with friend Aubrey Plaza on the red carpet.

This has been a busy few months for Megan since she gave birth to her first child, Noah, on Sept. 27. Megan said that becoming a mum has changed her attitude towards her work. According to Megan, "It changes your perspective about being overly sexual in a film when you have a baby."

Admission Trailer: Paul Rudd Finds Tina Fey's Long-Lost Son

You know how you love Tina Fey, and you also love Paul Rudd?

You know how you love Tina Fey, and you also love Paul Rudd? What if someone were to magically put them together on the screen for your viewing pleasure? Guess what — someone did! The trailer for Admission has Fey as Portia, an admissions administrator at Princeton in line for a promotion. One day, she gets a call from John (Rudd) asking her to come on a recruiting trip to check out some of his students. Little does she know, it's a ploy to get her to meet Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), who John believes may be the son Portia gave up in college. Twist!

Though the trailer for Admission provides plenty of jokes, there's an underlying seriousness that we don't always see from these actors. I love Fey, but we've seen her play the driven single female character into the ground. It's refreshing to see that there's more to Portia than a determination to rewrite the rules for middle-aged women. Watch the trailer after the jump.

Seth Rogen joined his Armani-clad wife, Lauren Miller, at yesterday's NYC premiere of For a Good Time, Call . . .

Justin Long, who's reportedly dating Kate Mara, stepped out solo and adorably posed for photos holding his phone. Paul Rudd, Kristen Wiig and Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss stopped by the after party to show their support for the project. Elisabeth debuted a short blonde bob on the red carpet and turned heads in a sexy black cocktail dress. When asked if blondes really have more fun, Elisabeth joked that she is "so far."

Watch Ron Burgundy and the Boys in Two Anchorman 2 Teasers!

It's been eight long years since the original, but Anchorman 2 is so on, you guys.

It's been eight long years since the original, but Anchorman 2 is so on, you guys. The movie is finally coming out in 2013, but two short teasers are here — and as brief as they are, they're both pretty funny. Will Ferrell's legendary Ron Burgundy is back on deck with his fellow news anchors, Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), Champ Kind (David Koechner) and Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), and as usual, Brick needs help coming up with anything to say in both of the clips.

Like I said, they're short, and we also have no idea what the plot will be, but I dare you not to get excited that Anchorman 2 is a reality. Watch the teasers and let me know what you think after the jump.

Very nice and very flattering to see people that passionate about it." Dakota said she's not familiar with Liam's franchise, but she's excited to see the film. As for a daring thing she's done lately, Dakota said, "Probably starting my Spring semester at college. That was probably the most fearless thing!"
