Amy Schumer

Amy Schumer is a legitimate star. The actress has been gathering up some impressive awards of late. Not only did her hilarious TV series Inside Amy Schumer take home an Emmy award last week, she’s also got a Peabody Award and a Critic’s Choice Television Award to her name.

Now she has another trophy to add to her collection: Best Body.

 

There are so many foods I want to thank

The 34-year old shared a hilarious photo on Instagram that captured the very moment she was announced the winner of the Best Body award. She appears to be both shocked and delighted with her win.

Her caption is probably the best part though: “There are so many foods I want to thank.”

The comedian is not someone who is afraid to poke fun at herself, and how often brings up the topic of body image online and in her work.

While she often makes joke about her own weight, she tends to make a very clear point that she is happy and confident just how she is, and other women shouldn’t feel the pressure to slim down either.

“It’s very therapeutic for me to be like, ‘Yes, I’m not going to look like a malnourished bird,’ and I like speaking to that, as well as speaking to my work and what I’m doing,” she told reporters during the press tour for Trainwreck.

"I'm not going to apologize for who I am, and I'm going to actually love the skin that I'm in. And I'm not going to be striving for some other version of myself,” she said at the Glamour UK Women of the Year ceremony.

Also, let us never forget the time she photobombed the entire cast of Game of Thrones:

We have a lot of love for Amy Schumer right now.

Remember when everyone discovered that Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence were friends? That was a fun time, although it probably would have been more fun if we could actually be part of the squad too. We can dream.

Just when we thought that these two couldn’t get any better, they went and did it.

In celebration of Amy’s win at the Emmys on Sunday, JLaw went out and surprised her bestie with a bouquet of giant balloons.

We mean giant. So many balloons and colours, they are literally taking up an entire room.

In an Instagram photo Amy captioned a snap of the surprise with “Never tell Jennifer L your room number.”

The famous pair have been friends for some time now, so much so that they are planning on writing a comedic screenplay together. The plan is for the duo to play sisters.

Jennifer Lawrence Surprised Emmy Winner Amy Schumer With The Best Gift Ever

Earlier this summer, Amy explained on The Daily Show, how their friendship came to be:

“So we go to the Hamptons, and Jennifer and I have become friends. And I was like, ‘Oh, we’re going on a boat tomorrow, you should come.’

It was kind of hypothetical, and she was like, ‘I think I’m coming,’ and I was like, ‘Oh my God.’”

We can only imagine the feeling Amy, really. Luckily for us Amy admitted that some of her friends, the non-celeb type, responded exactly how we imagine we would if told we would be jet skiing with JLaw tomorrow:

“I filmed a video of me telling my friends—and they’re like nurses and teachers—that Jennifer Lawrence is coming on a boat with us tomorrow,” Schumer said. “So they’re all screaming.” 

So, when is that video being shared on Instagram exactly?

It really seems to be the year of Amy Schumer!

Her Comedy Central show is better than most to give you a good giggle and her movie Trainwreck was a box office hit.

And how can we forget she is Jennifer Lawrence's new BFF. #squadgoals. 

In her new HBO comedy show, Amy Schumer Live at the Apollo, she doesn't shy away from what an amazing year she's had either. 

The show will air on October 17 and we have the trailer to show you just how much of a comedy genius she really is. 

Directed by Chris Rock, you will not want to miss her live show.

Amy Schumer had a few choice words last night for a publication who pitted her against two other female celebrities.

Style website The Fashion Spot tagged Amy, Fergie and Jordin Sparks in a tweet, showing each of them in the same black Halston Heritage gown and asking, "Who wore it best?" 

The "Who Wore It Best" theme is hardly anything new in the world of fashion media, but Amy didn't take the comparison too well.

"I'd say Jordin," she wrote. "Or Fergie. Or we can stop putting women against each other!"

Battlefield singer Jordin was quick to respond to give her opinion. "We all rocked it!” she wrote, before Amy gave this suggestion as to what outfit the three women could model next:

While Fergie didn't weigh in, Jordin was more than happy to comply:

Amy wore the Gold-Plated Belt Crepe Grown from HH's 2015 collection at the 2015 Glamour Women Of The Year Awards in June, while Fergie donned it in 2014 at the American Music Awards.

As for Jordin, she wore her one most recently, while performing on the TODAY Show on August 27th.

We think each of them looked downright stunning, but we definitely admire Amy's decision to speak up. After all, it's rare that two male celebrities would be subjected to the same "Who Wore It Best" comparison.

In fairness to The Fashion Spot, they were quick to respond:

Two of Hollywood's most hilarious female stars are teaming up, and we're VERY excited.

Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer first sent the internet into meltdown last month when they were pictured hanging out in the Hamptons together, and now they've decided to take their friendship to a professional level… by writing a film script.

Jennifer says that she and Amy, who will hopefully appear in the film together as sisters, are a writing match made in heaven. "Amy and I were creatively made for each other. We have different flavours. It’s been the most fun experience of my life," she told the New York Times.

The best part? This isn't just a pipe dream, the script is already well underway, according to Jen. "We’re almost done writing. It just flowed out of us. We’ve got about 100 pages right now."

After first hitting it off by email a few months back, Jennifer says the pair have gotten very close.

"I emailed her [Amy] after I saw Trainwreck and said, ‘I don’t know where to get started. I guess I should just say it: I’m in love with you.' We started emailing, and then emailing turned to texting."

Like any long-distance BFFs, the two talk on the phone… a LOT. "We start the day off on the phone, laughing. And then we send each other pages [of script]. And we crack up. I’m flying out tomorrow to see her in Chicago," the actress revealed.

After seeing Trainwreck, we really can't wait to see what Amy comes up with now that she's got J-Law on board.

When one of the best comedians to grace our screens in years unites with the director of films like Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, you just know the result is going to be spectacular.

Amy Schumer’s debut film Trainwreck hit Irish cinemas last week, and so far it’s gotten rave reviews. The comedy, a (relatively) autobiographical tale of a woman who has always forced herself to believe that monogamy is unrealistic, is a witty, sharp and no-bullsh*t look at what it’s like to be a female in today’s world.


The film’s director Judd Apatow and cast members Amy Schumer, BIll Hader and Vanessa Bayer hit Ireland last week for the final stop on their global press tour.

As well as a sit-down chat between Amy, Judd and Ireland’s beloved Panti Bliss, Trainwreck‘s Irish premiere took place at Dublin’s Savoy Cinema last Wednesday, in association with the Dublin International Film Festival.

S! TV were there to get in on the action and to catch up with the cast and crew.

The 14th Dublin International Film Festival will take place from February 18th – 28th, 2016.

Amy Schumer is apparently making the most of her time here in Ireland.

The Trainwreck star was spotted out and about with the film’s director Judd Apatow and a certain musical star.

 

Amy and Judd joined forces with Glen Hansard in Grogans pub on Castle Street in Dublin to experience one of our nation’s favourite past times. A sing-song.

The tunes covered include The Aul Triangle, always a classic. That is not all thought, because from the looks of things the trio may just have crashed a wedding while out on their jaunt.

Last night Amy and Judd were at the O’Reilly Theatre in Dublin for a Q&A with Panti Bliss. While there, Amy admitted her adoration for Irish comedian Meave Higgins.

"Maeve Higgins, I'm sorry, but we're keeping her," she said. "And we'll send her back for holidays."

Tonight the stars will be at Dublin’s Savoy Cinema for the Irish premiere of the film, if you don’t think you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of Amy then make sure you watch this clip from yesterday’s antics. It is amazing.

Taylor Swift might have been crowned "captain of the #GirlSquad" by this month's Vanity Fair, but we reckon she has some serious competition in the form of Amy Schumer.

The comedian took a break from the promotional circuit for her new film Trainwreck last week to head to the Hamptons with a gang of her high school friends… and Jennifer Lawrence. NBD.

Instagram went into meltdown when Amy casually posted a photo of herself and J-Law riding a jetski with no explanation, but she finally set the record straight during an appearance on the Daily Show last night. "She's the coolest chick you'll ever meet. She's beautiful," said Amy of her new BFF, who she bumped into during her trip away and soon became firm pals with.

Amy also shared some never-seen-before shots of her and American Hustle star Jennifer, like this (blurry) holiday snap:

"So we go to the Hamptons, and Jennifer and I have become friends. I was like, 'Oh, we're going on a boat tour tomorrow. You should come.' It was kind of a hypothetical," Amy told Jon Stewart, "And she was like, 'I think I'm coming!'"

But while Amy might have taken the whole thing in her stride, her friends weren't quite so chill. "I filmed a video actually of my friends telling them that Jennifer Lawrence is going to be there," the 34-year-old admitted. "They're like nurses and teachers… and they were all like, screaming."

As well as the aforementioned jetski trip, Oscar winner Jennifer also joined Amy and her friends for a human pyramid picture:

Although we think the pair look like the perfect match, Amy said she was surprised by the reaction to her Instagram posts. "It was a complete viral thing. It's my picture next to Jennifer Lawrence's—like the last person you want to be next to…I look like her coach in all the pictures," she said. "I look like I'm telling her to take a knee, like, 'Listen, Jen!'"

Hilarious. Could we love the Amy/Jen pairing any more?!

She’s the Oscar-winner who absolutely refuses to diet for Hollywood.

But, as Jennifer Lawrence proved this week, her bikini bod is probably about as close to perfection as we can imagine.

Hanging out with new BFF Amy Schumer, the pair are currently enjoying a girlie holiday away.

And in a telling Instagram snap posted yesterday to 35-year-old Amy’s account, Ms Lawrence, 24, shows once again that she is in the best shape of her life.

Creating a human pyramid with a group of ten women on board a boat, Jen can be seen at the top of the pile.

Donning a chic €275 Mara Hoffman bikini, the actress has her arms in the air – displaying off her toned tum to perfection.

Earlier on the same day, and using the hashtag #manic, Amy had posted a photo of J-Law driving a jet ski – while Ms Schumer herself rides seemingly terrified on the back.

Meanwhile, a third, earlier snap shows the same group of vacationers lounging on lie-lows in the sea.

Naturally, it didn’t take long for fans to suggest a creative Lawrence-Schumer collaboration – but as yet, there is no confirmation that the pair have anything in the pipeline.

Still, we're totally loving this celebrity friendship and reckon their profile will rival Tay-Tay Swift's squad and the Jenner-Hadid crew before long.

And despite boasting the type of figure that most women would kill for, Jennifer is a vocal opponent of the pressures and expectation young females face.

Indeed, in November 2013 in the aftermath of her Oscar success for Silver Linings Playbook (she also has two other Academy Award nominations), Jen explained: "There are shows like The Fashion Police that are just showing these generations of young people to judge people based on all the wrong values and that it's OK to point at people and call them ugly or fat."

She added: "We have to stop treating each other like that and stop calling each other fat."

Just hours after President Obama gave an interview to the BBC discussing how his “greatest frustration” as the President was his failure to enact “common sense” gun control laws, another mass shooting has taken place.

This time the incident occurred in Lafayette, a town in the state of Louisiana. The gunman, who is believed to be a 58-year-old “lone, white male” shot dead two people before taking his own life.

It is almost three years to the day that James Holmes shot and killed 12 people and injured a further 70. It was only days ago that he was found guilty of all charges against him.

While it has not been confirmed, many outlets have reported that the shooting took place during a screening of Amy Schumer’s new hit-comedy, Trainwreck.

Amy, along with a host of other celebrities, has tweeted her devastation upon hearing the tragic news.

English actress Tilda Swinton has had her fair share of image overhauls in her time, but this has to be the most dramatic yet.

The pale blonde stars in Amy Schumer's new film Trainwreck, and got totally into character for her role as overbearing magazine editor Dianna. From the long, wavy highlighted locks to the perfect spray tan (not to mention the winged eyeliner), it's all there, and it's all totally un-Tilda.

Speaking about the transformation, Tilda admitted she was excited to delve into unknown territory, and that she loved the idea of having bronzed skin for once. "The first thing I thought of was that I should be a different color. That I would need this kind of tandoori tan, which I still find amusing," she told TooFab.

"I'm very sort of pathetic that way, I find it very amusing the idea of me having a tan." The actress said the main inspiration for her look came from French magazine editor Carine Roitfeld, who she said she felt Dianna wished she could be.

"I figured that she might be basing her look on another kind of very role model of a magazine editor, who would be Carine Roitfeld… She's kind of pitched herself at that because she thinks that's like the kind of alpha female magazine editor and that was it really… she's trying to look as absolutely alpha as she can."

When we saw Tilda as the elderly Madame D. in Wes Anderson's Grand Budapest Hotel, we really thought she'd pushed the boat out in terms of transformation, but this latest one might just beat that. 

Trainwreck hits cinemas here on August 14th, but for now, check out the trailer:

One of Hollywood’s funniest ladies is coming to visit us! Hurray! Yes, we’re all very excited to hear that Amy Schumer will be appearing at the Dublin International Film Festival.

Director-producer of her newest film Trainwreck, Judd Apatow and co-star Bill Hader are also going to be in attendance at the special screening.

Amy stars in the film as a woman who lives her life with no apologies, even when she maybe should.

A sort of living embodiment of the ‘sorry not sorry’ phrase that comes up quite a lot these days. Her character, called Amy, is a described as a something of a pessimist when it comes to romance until she meets a sports doctor, played by Bill Hader.

Grainne Humphreys, director of the festival said about the appearance: “2015 is proving to be the year of Amy Schumer, a pistol smart satirist, a Facebook feminist, a sassy screenwriter who has film friends in all the right places.

She has clambered over her fellow comedic peers to ascend to the throne of this year's Comic Most Wanted.”

Amy, 34, not only stars in the film but is responsible for creating her character and writing the screenplay. In 2011 she got a lot of attention for her Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen and became a household name in the US shortly after.

Working with Judd Apatow has turned out quite well for a lot of other famous faces, including fellow funny woman Lena Dunham. Judd is known for introducing new comedy voices into mainstream film.

While Amy doesn’t seem to need much introduction these days, we’re excited to see the trio all together.

The Irish premiere for Trainwreck is August 14 with the Dublin International Film Festival 2016 already being announced to take place February 18-28.
