Plus: Siobhan's Young Doctors Who Cry co-star Winter Coat mysteriously shows up at the bar. Is she playing for the other team? I don't care, I just love that her name is Winter Coat!

We're Getting Nowhere: The "Baby Mama" Episode

We're still anxiously awaiting the premiere of Season 1 of The L Word on Logo, and it's left us no choice but to go see movies. This week, we were all to happy to fill the seats for our girls Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on the opening day of Baby Mama.

In case you haven't already heard, Baby Mama is about wealthy business woman Kate (Fey), who discovers that she's infertile and then hires zany working-class gal Angie (Poehler) to be her surrogate. Hijinks ensue when circumstances force junk food-eating, karaoke-singing Angie to move in with health food snob and control-freak Kate. It's like The Odd Couple, but with breast pumps.

So in our special Baby Mama edition of WGN, we review the film, talk about why we love Fey and Poehler, and display some frightening photos of the children we "made" with the "Baby Mama baby maker" program on the Baby Mama website. Watch and decide whose "baby" is the ugliest. Is it mine and Jill's? Dara's and Jill's? Mine and, gulp, Dara's?

We're Getting Nowhere: "The L Word" Trivia Episode

Since the end of the fifth season of The L Word, Jill, Dara and I have hardly known what to do with ourselves. No sock puppets, no unnecessary close-ups, no purpose. We're looking forward to covering the first season of the show when it's aired on Logo this summer, but in the meantime we decided to amuse ourselves (and hopefully you) with a friendly game of L Word Trivia.

Do you remember who played Alice's mother on the show? How about the name of the art exhibition that got Bette into so much trouble with the conservatives? Neither did we, but we had fun guessing! So grab a pen and paper and play along with us — unlike Dara and I, if you outplay Jill, she can't rough you up.

Also, we mention in the vlog that we're planning another AfterEllen.com meet and greet in New York on May 18, hosted by Sarah and Lori and with us WGN'ers and Bridget McManus (Brunch with Bridget) in attendance. Initially, we thought Dara wouldn't be able to join us for this little outing, but it turns out that she can and we're thrilled. So you can just ignore the guilt trip we laid on her in the vlog, because it worked! (Look for details on the exact time and location of the event in our BLWE column in the next few weeks.)

Dinah 2008 AfterEllen.com AfterNoon: Improv

The second half of the AfterEllen.com AfterNoon at Dinah last week was a hilarious train wreck — or "cluster screw" as our host Michelle Paradise politely called it — of comedy improv starring several of the AfterEllen.com vloggers: Cathy DeBuono, Jill Bennett, Marnie Alton, Karman Kregloe, Dara Nai, and Bridget McManus.

Dee and Jenn (Come With Me If You Want to Live) joined Lori and I as judges, using criteria Dara came up with — so you know it's slightly off-kilter.

Highlights of the event? Too many to mention, but here are a few of my favorites: Michelle getting heckled for accidentally picking on a woman with a broken toe; Karman and Cathy flirting in Santa's workshop; Bridget and Marnie's adventures in Amsterdam's red light district; and Jill taking orders from Dara in a barn. Then there's Karman and Dara's rendition of A Sound of Music...well, you'll just have to watch for yourself and tell me what your favorite moments / lines / scenes are. Check it out now here:

Thanks to Michelle for graciously agreeing to host, and to the rest of the vloggers for participating. It was a lot of fun to watch live — hopefully it will translate on-screen!
