If there were two words to describe Lena Dunham, they
would be "funny" and "tough," The 27-year-old actress-
writer-showrunner-make-us-feel-bad-about-our-
relative-lack-of-achievements-er will take her first spin
hosting "Saturday Night Live" this weekend, and we
can't wait to see what comes out of it. The legendary
sketch comedy show recently lost head writer Seth
Meyers to the wilds of late night talk shows, so we
thought we'd provide the writing staff with a few hot
tips for Dunham's episode, just in case they're caught
scratching their heads for what to write for the "Girls"
star. Come on, y'all. There's so much good stuff there.
As for whether Dunham can take the heat of well-
meaning mockery, well, anything you can say about
her, she's probably already said about herself before.

We'd bet our stylish little salvaged and repurposed
buttons that this one'll come up: Remember when
Dunham may or may not have had a bird on her head
during the photoshoot for her Vogue cover shoot? We
called our psychic to consult, and we're seeing...a
raccoon? A nutria? Bobby Moynihan? Perched atop
Dunham's noggin. Take that, Jezebel. Nudity
We saw it once in the promos she did with Kate
McKinnon for this weekend's show, and we can pretty
much guarantee we'll see it again. ("It," in this case, is
boobs.) Her Shark-Jumping "Star Wars" Tweet
Remember the time Dunham kind of accidentally
confirmed co-star Adam Driver's big "Star Wars"
casting news via congratulatory tweet? We do! (Also, it
was like five minutes ago, so of course we haven't
quite forgotten.) In this social media-ified age, there's
so much rich opportunity for shark-jumping. Maybe
she could somehow jump an actual sea creature with a
smartphone? We're not opposed. "Girls" Think Pieces
Let's not overthink things, shall we? Oh, wait, that's
just about all we do when it comes to "Girls."
Sometimes, a cupcake shared with a friend in the tub
is just a cupcake shared with a friend in a tub, end of
story. This is Big L's chance to tell the world. Again.
