Fey:
Funny & Tired. I
think my generation has been slightly tricked in that you’re really encouraged
to try to have it all,” SNL-alum and 30 Rock creator
Tina Fey tells PARADE for
this Sunday's issue. “And sometimes your body will not let you wait as
long as you want.”
When Fey gave
birth to her daughter Alice in 2005, she took a 43-day maternity leave and
returned to
Saturday Night Live seemingly without breaking stride. Her comment at
the time: “I had to get back to work.
NBC has me under contract; the baby and I only have a verbal agreement.”
Fey's new
film,
Baby Mama, hits theaters
April 25
and the Parade is in this Sunday's Newspapers.

marriages and how she has finally found love. Here is what Ms. Jackson says
about Love:
“I was always reaching out for love. I kept
searching for it, seeking it. Infatuation, lust—that stuff only lasts so long.
You can get that from anybody. But true love is supposed to be forever. Jackson
says she has found that love with record producer and hip-hop artist Jermaine
Dupri, 35. They have known each other for six years now and may already be
married, although that is a question Janet will not address beyond admitting
that they are a couple and she is crazy about him. “This time, I wasn’t going to
be the first to reach out,” she says. “It was Jermaine who touched me first.
Love came to me. He’s such a wonderful, sweet, very loving guy that I said to
myself, ‘I’m not going to fall head over heels for this person.’ ”
