can someone tell me what font this is and how it's so bold?

for the bold part just bevel & embross or stroke it. Basically play with the blending options of the font. You can always set it to bold with the bevel or the stroke.

That font looks familiar. I think it's a regular font, Impact, but I can't be sure. If it is, then the text was not bolded; the letters are like that.

It is Impact. ^ :P

it is definitely impact, i just checked. and the reason why it looks so "bold" is because she added a outer glow...either that or an outer stroke of black.

those two settings can be found in the blending options if you are using photoshop CS or Imageready CS.

lol it's a bold stroke

and actually you can do it with any version of photoshop..i believe.
