Lisa Lampanelli

Lisa Lampanelli: Our favorite "Dirty Girl" (the name of her stand-up TV show and CD spin-off), Lampanelli started as a reporter for Rolling Stone but quickly found that humor was her calling; now she's known for her harsh but hilarious shtick. Insults and racial humor are ... morestaples: "My problem is, I can't get a good-looking white guy anymore," she told Askmen.com. "I just don't have the looks to get that. I can get hot blacks, but also blacks are now starting to get uppity and go for the skinny white ones and the Asians, which is very offensive to me that they don't stick with their roots — the chubby white girl!" Comedy Central is such a fan that she's become a staple in their highly rated roasts. Her movie career has started to take off, with roles in "Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector" and "Delta Farce." Stay on her good side and Lampanelli will have you doubled over. In that good way.
