Tina Fey Goes From Sarah Palin To Nora Ephron?

October 5, 2008

The ETina Fey has been riding high on the much-deserved success of 30 Rock and the icing on the cake these days has been her wildly popular impersonation of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live.

And according to unconfirmed reports, Fey may be seeing close to six million bucks for the rights to a future book to be authored by the multihyphenate. 

“One source familiar with the talks said that her book is not being pitched as a memoir, but instead as nonfiction humor, more in the style of author, screenwriter and film director Nora Ephron,” reports the New York Post.

And the best part is that she won’t even have to sleep with Carl Bernstein!

Nora Ephron has the distinction of having one of the greatest titles to ever adorn a book — I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman. 

That is simply fried gold.

According to the New York Observer, the deal is already sealed and “part of Ms. Fey’s deal with the publishing house involves a gift to the foundation Books for Kids that will help sponsor the building of six libraries for schools in under-served neighborhoods in New York.”

Just when we thought we couldn’t have more respect for the lady, she surprises us once again. 

Bravo, Ms. Fey.
