Amy Poehler & Will Arnett call it quits

**Sialia** · September 8th, 2012, 10:32 PM

Add me to the "Will is hot" bandwagon. I didn't see it in his characters on AD or 30 Rock, but then I watched Up All Night...and YUM. Totally got it.

ETA: Just snorted wine out my nose at the "seaward" quote above. God, I miss AD.

He's smarmy-sexy in the same way Hugh Grant is.
Both are irresistible to me. IT'S THE VOICE.

Oh yeah, Christina and Will have MAJOR chemistry on UAN. No doubting this.
They are funny as crap together, too. I love Amy, but Will is a dish.

By the by, Will and Christina's baby's name on UAN is AMY.

I wonder if he's calling her Blamey now?

Quote from AD when they are getting divorced:

if her name is Amy, I'll call her Blamey.

More for you whores.

I'll take your share....

I know the one blind, but what are the others?

I'll take her share too!

I plowed through all seasons of AD a couple of weeks ago after hearing that John Slattery will be in the re-boot, and *loved* G.O.B. and Arnett. Was left thinking, "Where was I when this was in its first run?"

**bonnie lass** · September 11th, 2012, 09:22 PM

I'm so displeased that more of you haven't seen Up All Night. Tell me what you think of him after witnessing the Will/Christina chemistry--with a little Maya Rudolph thrown in for good measure. I just wanna smell and eat him up. Just sayin', totally my problem.

**Sialia** · September 11th, 2012, 09:45 PM

^^I love Up All Night. Just saw the season premier pop up in my "future recordings" list on my DVR. Can't wait!

On a shallow note, I really hope they have more scenes with him playing hockey/in his hockey uniform. Ohhhh yeah.

The divorce is all Amy's fault.

'Millionaire Matchmaker' Patti Stanger Says Amy Poehler Killed Her Own Marriage

Although she's often ripped for being single herself, Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger does give some solid relationship advice to clients. Like the time she told one woman her "laundry list" of must-haves for a man was a joke? Yep, right on. The other time she told a guy that toting his "sexretary"-like assistant around with him on dates wasn't exactly going to help him find a life partner? Duh. But unfortunately, Stanger also seems to have a habit of undermining her smartest advice by occasionally going to extremes ... The most recent example: Her commentary on funny couple Amy Poehler and Will Arnett's sad split.

In her new column for People, Stanger asserts the marriage likely failed, because Poehler was the primary breadwinner and more successful than her husband, which "goes against nature." Oh. Dear.

She then goes onto explain how a woman's success basically chips away at her man's self-esteem ("There will undeniably be comments and questions about your relationship dynamic.") and any time you have to devote to him ("You're probably on your email a lot, taking phone calls and going on regular business trips that don't involve your man."), sooo all that's left in the end is you, your shelf full of Emmys, and divorce papers. Wah wah.

I almost want to STRANGLE Stanger for this. Because the fact is -- there is merit to what some might call "antiquated" gender roles. When Stanger advises her female clients to get more comfortable with letting the man hold the door for them or pay for dinner on a first date or be the first to initiate sex, etc., I am totally with her. Whether it would make Gloria Steinem smile or not, sometimes we really do have to take the more passive role if we want our guys to feel like The Man. (Little do they know, we're still in control ... We're just letting them think they are!)

BUT to whittle what may have happened between two very successful adults and say it's ALL Amy Poehler's fault her marriage fell apart because she's slightly better known and probably the breadwinner is so ridiculous.

I'm truly bummed that she couldn't have written something along the lines of ... As important as it can be to assume your "traditional" gender role at times while dating and even while married, it's equally important for men to get used to the fact that women ARE breadwinners these days. We're making as much as our partners or more sometimes, and if they're so damn insecure about it, that's their problem -- not ours. If there's any truth to Stanger's assumption, and Will Arnett legitimately fell out of love with his wife because he couldn't handle her success, then Poehler's better off finding someone who is man enough that he can.

How do you feel about Patti Stanger's interpretation of what went down between Amy and Will? Do you think being the woman being the breadwinner is a relationship killer?

Yeah, that's not at all offensive.

**SHELLEE** · September 18th, 2012, 08:39 AM

What a fucking asshole.

**fgg** · September 18th, 2012, 08:44 AM

not that i agree with that article but i've met a lot of men that are very uncomfortable, despite what they may say, with the woman making more money than they do. get the fuck over it already!

**greysfang** · September 18th, 2012, 08:54 AM

**sigh**

**gas_chick** · September 18th, 2012, 09:20 AM

That stupid bitch needs to shut her fucking mouth. Does she even have a man?

I think Will and Amy were on pretty even ground. They both have shows on the air.

**louiswinthorpe111** · September 18th, 2012, 01:34 PM

For most of my marriage, I made more money than my husband. And he didn't really give a shit. A generalization like that when you don't even know the person is BS.

**Mel1973** · September 18th, 2012, 01:37 PM

If it would make Will feel better, maybe I'd think about quitting my job and pissing away his money - you know, in an effort to make him feel like a MAN!

**ConstanceSpry** · September 18th, 2012, 05:35 PM

Geez, women just can't win. If you make more than your man, you're a ball crusher and it's your fault if he dumps you. If you don't have a paid job or "only" work part-time, you're anti-feminist and reenforce stereotypes. 2012, and still the same old crap.
