“30 Rock’s” Tina Fey edged out Robert Downey Jr. and Heath Ledger as the Associated Press’ entertainer of the year, the Hollywood Reporter says. Fey was recognized as the performer who had the “greatest impact on culture and entertainment in 2008,” as voted on by AP members, the news service says. In addition to her Emmy-winning NBC series, Fey starred in the film “Baby Mama” and rose to political fame with her impersonation of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for “Saturday Night Live,” the AP adds.
