  • Amy Sedaris Kills Goldfish With Only Her Breath. Allegedly.

    Amy Sedaris
    David Gordon Green's Snow Angels is a movie all about the relationship between a teenager, his older babysitter, and her family. So, naturally, at the event celebrating the movie last night at MoMA, we asked the cast if they ever had the hots for nanny. "Like, all of them," Green admitted immediately. "I tried [to hit on them, but] they wouldn't have me! I was a dirty little kid." As for his techniques? "Lookin' up skirts and all that. I tried to [use a makeup mirror to look at her] when she was in the bathroom, and it didn't work," Green said. "She got pissed [and] sent me to bed with no supper. And beat me." Connor Paolo, Gossip Girl's Eric, is just 17 but remembered having an eye on his Iranian nanny's young daughter. Amy Sedaris, however, had a view from the opposite side. She was always the babysitter. She remembered with a shudder that awkward ride home with the dads, who inevitably had "booze on their breath," driving you a distance you could walk. And then! "This one kid once accused me of killing his goldfish. I was leaning over it breathing, and he told his parents I killed it, so they never had me back," Sedaris griped. "I will never let it go!" Man, we wish Amy Sedaris had been our babysitter. Imagine the insanity. And the cupcakes! —Jocelyn Guest Related: Amy Sedaris Kills Roaches With Her Bare Hands

  • Amy Sedaris and Justin Theroux Exchange Weird Photos, Old Douche Bags

    Sedaris Thorne Theroux

    Anyone who follows the wacky downtown crowd knows that Strangers With Candy genius-slash-cupcake maker Amy Sedaris and actor Justin Theroux (Broken English) are, like, total munchie buds. So last Friday night, it wasn't a surprise to see them both: We were at the opening for the eerily named "Sometimes Comes Mother, Sometimes Comes Wolf," an Adidas-sponsored installation by Theroux and designer Douglas Little. Open daily through February 9, the installation, which sits on Broome Street between Ludlow and Essex, is a big, iridescent modern blue box on the outside and a Victorian apartment on the inside, full of creepy curiosities, many of them from Theroux's own apartment, like a terrifying pile of ventriloquist's dummies, various stuffed bats, and, poignantly dumped on a velvet pillow, the cremated remains of Pooma, Theroux's beloved pit bull, who died a few weeks ago. Outside the installation, which quickly became infested with hipsters like the MisShapes kids and bearded Sting-spawn Jake Sumner, Amy Sedaris sat with her bud Callie Thorne, of the TV show Rescue Me, selling her cute cupcakes at $3 a pop. So, we asked her, Justin likes to collect weird, old things, huh? "We have that in common," she said. "I have a beautiful picture of a baby with syphilis, and he's the only one I could give it to. And when I die, he wants my picture of my baby with rickets."

  • Amy Sedaris Kills Roaches With Her Bare Hands

    Amy Sedaris
    Last night, comedian and cupcake maker Amy Sedaris hosted a party for Ikea Home and told New York all about her own domestic life. "I have Pergo floors you can only get at Ikea," she explained, adding that she didn’t install them herself. "My friend Todd Oldham, who is a designer, put them in. I laid on the couch and smoked pot and was like, 'That one looks crooked.'" Likewise, she admits, when she got a Weber Grill, she made her brother (humorist David Sedaris) put it together for her. "He put the wheels on backward and literally had a pile of leftover screws. I said, 'What is that?' and he said, 'Well, that's, you know, the leftover screws they give you,'" the Strangers With Candy star said. "It literally didn't even roll around." On household pests, Sedaris is a true expert. "There's never just a mouse. You have to find the hole! I'm telling you! I had a cheese-ball business in my apartment, and I had a huge mouse problem," she says. "I have cockroaches too! I kill those with my hand." No doubt everyone who buys Sedaris's famous homemade cupcakes will be delighted to hear it. —Jocelyn Guest
