According to Mindy Kaling, aka The Office’s Kelly Kapoor, the St. Louis-raised girls of the office started up a little local-flavored bake-off on set:

The three St. Louis raised stars of The Office who can apparently all make Gooey Butter Cake, are, of course, Jenna Fischer (Pam), who is hot, Ellie Kemper (Erin), who is also hot, and Phyllis Smith (Phyllis) , who also…um…works there.

We asked Kaling for an update on the bake-off results, but as of this writing, we haven’t heard anything back. We will break in to whatever important thing you are doing later and tell you though since this is just as important as a tornado watch in the middle of Illinois and the weather people always busting in for that crap.

I know! We can’t believe it either. Frankly it just hurts so damn much, and we don’t know what we can do to make the pain go away.

Ok, here’s the backstory: A few weeks ago the call went out to the various St. Louis media members that hometown girl Jenna Fischer was coming back to St. Louis to accept some award from a whosywhatsit [Editor's Note: She's winning the Cinema St. Louis Award] because of her acting and also debut her new movie…”Pam Gets a New Job” or something [Editor's Note: Her movie is "A Little Help"]…to a St. Louis audience. “Who would like to line up an interview with her?” The email asked us. “We would love to!” we replied! …hmm, been a little while now, still hadn’t heard anything, but it’s only been a few days. Days turned in to a week, and that phone just sat there, not ringing. Well, her people will get a hold of us, we just know it! She’s a comedic actor from St. Louis after all, total match made in interview heaven…we better go ahead and just go put on our suit for the interview. [Days later] Still nothing! This suit is starting to stink and we’ve run out of bad poetry ideas…also the neighbors must be getting sick of all the late night weeping. We’d given up all hope until we get it rubbed in our faces: Riverfront Times! WeAreMovieGeeks.com! Whoever This Guy is from STLToday! What the hell?! You make us sad Jenna Fischer. Very very sad.

Why don’t you like us Jenna Fischer?! What did we do? Seriously, you’re one of only maybe 6 people are constantly nice too (Proof!).

Here, Jenna, we wrote you this haiku:

Jenna no like us
but we are the awesomest
and also very sad

It totally would have been a fun interview. You would have been all like “OMG that is such a great question!” and we would have been like “Aww, I mean it was OK.” and then you’re like “No, seriously that was awesome, I’m going to answer the hell out of that thing!”, then we’re all “Awesome.” and do a hot hair flip thing and do a pec dance, and you would be all “…have you ever thought what it would be like if we kissed?”, and then we’re totally “Yeah.” but all soft and cool like.

Freaking learned the pec dance thing for nothing!

Local cutie turned TV and movie star, Jenna Fischer, got married last weekend to her second husband, writer Lee Kirk who has really squinty eyes all the time.

…and, of course, they were married by Survivor host Jeff Probst.

It’s no secret that the Office hottie tied the knot with writer Lee Kirk earlier this month, but it took almost three weeks to unearth the eyebrow-cocking revelation that the officiant of their vow-swap was none other than theSurvivor host-turned-alliance king himself.

As weird as it may sound, Jeff Probst and Fischer go way back and, as it happens, Jeff was “ordained” in the Universal Life Church…that’s right the online church that will ordain anything and anyone. We should know as we were ordained 10 years ago!

Although it would have been more sense to have the Survivor host preside over Fischer’s marriage elimination divorce from director and fellow native St. Louisan James Gunn, we’re happy to hear Fischer is happy now with Blondy McSquints.

In other news, when you search for the name of Jenna’s new hubby Lee Kirk on Google’s Image search you also get this guy, who I’m guessing is a different guy.

We bet Lee is just thrilled with that news.

After the post about a family raping and pretend marrying each other, we needed a hot St. Louisan to cut the gross.

I present to you the Jenna Fischer Chaser:

Hat tip to Xeni of BoingBoing’s Unicorn Chaser inspiration.

Every once in a while we like to swing by St. Louis native and Office star Jenna Fischer’s blog to see what’s going on with her and if she’s finally decided to film that script with the topless scene we keep sending her.  She still hasn’t filmed that script, or acknowledged the fact that I keep sending her chunks of my hair for that matter, but we did get to see her kitty!

Just before we finished filming for the season some crew members found 2 tiny kittens living under the wardrobe trailer at The Office. The Mom cat was no longer around. We trapped the little guys and named them Dunder and Mifflin.

Ok, thats pretty damn cute.

Dunder is an adorable and spunky little guy.  He’s the one that walked in my fireplace and got sooty footprints all over my couch.  Gotta love it!  I fostered Dunder for just over 2 weeks.  He is now living in a new foster home where he has joined a litter of kittens around his age.  He has lots of friends to frolic and play with!

Mifflin was under a pound when we found him.  He was barely weaned and needed extra special care.  He went to a foster parent in Kitten Rescue who had more experience with kittiens so small.  When he was old enough he joined Dunder and the litter of kitten friends.  Mifflin is a total loverboy…I had him for 2 nights in the beginning.  I carried him around with me all day, zipped up in my hoodie.  He would sleep and purr.  Too sweet.

Not only is this cute, but a good lesson.  If you want Jenna Fischer to hung you and let you stay at her house for two weeks, here’s my new plan:

1. Start looking pathetic. [Editor's Note: Check!]

2. Live under the wardrobe trailer on the Office set.

3. ????

4. Profit.
