SNL star Amy Poehler co-stars opposite hubby Will Arnett in "Blades of Glory" as a creepy brother and sister figure skating team who are REALLY fond of each other.
Amy talked to HX about her husband's big gay following which Out In Hollywood excerpted last week.
Here are excerpts from Amy's interview:
Q. You must know the gays love you, Amy.
A. Well, Saturday Night Live is run by the gay mafia— or, as we like to call it, the gay yakuza. [Laughs] The gay people know their comedy and they’re fiercely selective. I appreciate it if they think I’m funny because that means I’m doing something right. I hope that maybe someday someone will dress up like me —and perhaps put on a one-person show at The Duplex in New York.

Will also has quite the gay following, by the way.
Believe me, the highest compliment as a woman is to have your husband wolf-whistled at in the West Village. Oh, he’s adorable! I really scored. I don’t know what-the-f I did right, but I did something right in my past life to get a handsome, funny hunk of meat and put a ring on that.

Q. The general consensus is that most male figure skaters are gay. After filming Blades, what do you think?
A. Well, I’ll tell you who’s a manly man and that’s Mr. Scott Hamilton. He is a man’s man for reals, y’all. But I would say that there is a certain flamboyance in figure skating that perhaps lends itself to, um—yeah, you know what? Most of the guys are gay [Laughs].

Q. Do you have any lady-crushes?
A. I know exactly who my lady-crush is right now: Shane from The L Word. Katherine Moennig. She’s my jam. I love The L Word. You know what Shane needs? She just needs someone to love her, to help her out, give her a sandwich and take her in. Let me tell you something about Shane: She finds it hard to love, but she loves hard. She just needs someone to take care of her, and I think I’m that someone. I really do. So freakin’ cute.
