Jane Lynch is an Entertainer of the Year, Plus Bonnie Hunt

As you can see from her party hat on the right, Entertainment Weekly has named our Jane Lynch as one of 2009′s Entertainers of the Year. We’d actually argue that she’s one of the Entertainers of the Decade, but that’s probably for next year’s compilation. Until we get our hands on a copy to see what glowing things EW has to say about her, we’re going to have to let the cover speak for itself.

In another Best-Of list, TV Guide named Jane Lynch’s portrayal of Sue Sylvester as one of the “Best Performances of the Year.” They say what we’ve been saying all along: that her diabolical plotting “is the perfect antidote to the show’s occasionally over-the-top sweetness.” Exactly.

In other news, Jane appeared on The Bonnie Hunt Show a week or two ago. You may or may not (probably will not) recall that Bonnie Hunt’s show recently got the ax, which is so sad because Bonnie Hunt seems like a very nice lady. Honestly, though, we think her skillz lie in acting, not so much hosting. In this short segment, Jane talks about how her mom left her in the middle of the red carpet premiere of Julie & Julia to run and fawn over to Meryl Streep:

Because Jane mentioned that her mother did this in the middle of an Access Hollywood interview with Amy Adams, we just had to track down the clip. You are welcome!! Now, if you go forward to about 23 seconds in and look to your far, far left: we’re pretty sure that’s our Jane putting a “I know, it’s effing MERYL STREEP!” hand on her mom’s shoulder.

Jane Lynch in AP Interview & Annoying Vanity Fair Article

Looks like the AP has posted an interview with Jane Lynch from what probably was a Glee press junket. Jane dishes a little bit about her character, the upcoming season (love triangles, fake pregnancies, etc.), and reiterates her desire to sing. She definitely does not sing in any of the first 12 episodes; she’s pulling for a number somewhere in the back nine.

Also, we just hit upon a fairly irksome Vanity Fair Q & A back in September. She’s not annoying; the interviewer is, so we’re a little hesitant to link to it … but there it is anyway. Oh, Dominick Dunne, how we miss you already.

In other news that was yesterday’s news: just one more friendly reminder that Jane’s on Conan tonight! Yeah! After that, head outside and look up – the Leonids meteor shower was pretty effing awesome last night.
