MACFARLANE HITS BACK AT FEY'S 'DRUNK' COMMENTS
FAMILY GUY creator SETH MACFARLANE has hit back at 30 ROCK star TINA FEY - after she suggested at this year's (09) Emmy Awards that he struggles with alcohol abuse.
Presenting the show's first award last month (20Sep09) Fey took a jab at MACFarlane in front of the star-studded audience and millions of TV viewers.
She said: "Let's linger on this magical time at the beginning of the evening when everyone is still a winner. And Seth MCFarlane is only pretty drunk."
But MACFarlane has defended his drinking - and admits he wishes Fey had targeted another celebrity during her speech.
He says, "You know, I was (drinking) but that's a seven hour long show... I was just kind of shocked like, 'Really? You can't find someone who is more recognisable?' I think most people were wondering, 'Who is that guy? And I wonder if he has a serious problem.'"

I found her comment very catty and seemingly a simple attack at Seth
personally. Yes, Seth has made no bones about the fact that he likes to
drink...but to put her personal opinion of him on display in such an aggressive
manner shows how low class she really is. If she wanted to do it on her own
comedy show (30 Rock), that would be fair game. To do it on a show that is
honoring him, her and their staff for a year of great work and
achievement...that was just disgraceful. I am sure a large number of people
in the audience struggle with some sort of addiction or over indulgence…this is
Hollywood after all! I mean come on Tina Fey…you work with Tracy Morgan, he
appeared far from sober at the Emmy awards and many other occasions.Seth has
worked very hard and deserved to be there just as much as much as she. He has
two successful shows…a new one sure to be a hit , a DVD series that has sold
incomparably and a musical CD that is fantastic as well as merchandise that
flies off the shelves. Fox has rewarded him wonderfully for this talent and
ability. I think maybe she could just be a little jealous of his
paycheck...hmmm?
