The top community for Gilmore Girls. Keeping Gilmore Girls alive and news on what the Gilmore cast is up to now. Daily updates since 2005.
Lauren Graham‘s first novel, Someday, Someday, Maybe will be released on April 30, 2013 and is currently available for pre-order in 2 formats: hardcover, audiobook (read by Lauren Graham herself). Read more about the novel here.
The cover of the book was recently released! What do you think??
When I heard the news that the Veronica Mars movie may be happening, thanks to the show runner Rob Thomas and main star Kristen Bell backing it on Kickstarter, I immediately tweeted that we may have renewed hope for a Gilmore Girls Movie… if only Amy Sherman-Palladino could spearhead the same thing. Many of you also voiced the same hope.
Well, apparently many of you also asked Lauren Graham about it on Twitter! Lauren responded to the world that she has heard all the requests (which I’m sure have been many), saying:
Dudes, I hear you, and thanks! But I can’t be the #GilmoreGirls @kickstarter. Only Amy can start that kick. #WBfrogworeatuxedo

She didn’t downright shoot down the idea… so, hopefully Amy gets wind of the idea and is inspired by the success that Veronica Mars has had in raising MORE than they needed! I would back the Gilmore Girls movie, wouldn’t you?!
Lauren Graham even later joked in reference to the movie again…

I am very happy to announce that Alexis Bledel is engaged! Alexis Bledel has been dating actor Vincent Kartheiser since meeting during her guest arc on Mad Men. Alexis Bledel, now 31, and Vinctent Kartheiser, now 33, were confirmed as engaged on March 20th.
According to People, Vincent jokingly practiced his proposal with his Mad Men co-stars, Elisabeth Moss and Jessica Paré. All of his co-stars are excited for the couple, calling Alexis “the sweetest” and saying how great the couple are together. The proposal was apparently a few weeks ago and the ring may be “huge” – can’t wait to see!
Gilmore Girls co-star Lauren Graham had a conversation on Twitter about the engagement, joking about her “finishing Yale already?” and that she is “very happy for them. Two gorgeous and talented people.”
I’m so happy for Alexis! Join me in wishing her and Vincent well :)
Melissa McCarthy (Sookie on Gilmore Girls), who currently stars in the tv show Mike & Molly, also stars in the newly-released movie, Identity Thief, a movie about a man (Jason Bateman as Sandy Patterson) who has his identity stolen by a woman.
The movie is being praised by many critics, most of whom praiseMelissa McCarthy for her comedic delivery, calling her a “master” for her “her natural ability to garner both laughs and affectionate sighs from her audience.” The New York Times even called Melissa the “bliss” of the film.
Despite it’s success at the box office and with reviews, the New York Observer‘s Rex Reed took some low shots at Melissa’s size, using terrible words to describe her. Calling her a “gimmick comedian,” he followed up by calling the beautiful Melissa words such as “hippo” and much worse, which is pains me to even mention. Makes me sick. And that he could even imply that her success was due to her size and not her talent is just as bad.
Thankfully, I’m not the only one sickened by this low blow. Hollywood and fans around the world have been in an uproar about the comments.
Here is more about the movie – since that’s really our focus anyway:
Lorelai Gilmore and Rory Gilmore’s house, a fixture of the Gilmore Girls world for many of us, was charming and quirky and filled with odds and ends, just like the girls who live in it. I was recently tipped off on Twitter to some fan-made floor plans of the house, including details on furniture placement with a few liberties taken based on changes from season-to-season. What do you think?
Here are some on-set photos as a reminder of what the house, aka “The Crapshack”, looked like.
Alexis Bledel made a red carpet appearance for the SAG Awards on January 27th looking stunning in a floor-length green gown from Rena Lange. Alexis Bledel is currently dating Vincent Kartheiser of Mad Men, who she was seen with at this event. The couple met on the set of Mad Men for Alexis’ guest role where Alexis’ character played the “sex-starved mistress” of Vincent’s character Pete Campbell. The couple began dating in early summer 2012. He seems smitten.
Aside from on Twitter, we can expect to see Alexis Bledel in the upcoming indie film The Brass Teapot, in the film, Parts Per Billion, which shot this past December and will release in 2014, and continues to be in pre-production for another film, The Letters.
Alexis Bledel had a major coming out on hit series Mad Men in 2012. Alexis Guest starred in 3 episodes of Mad Men as Beth Dawes, wife of insurance salesman Howard Dawes, who rides the train each day with Pete Campbell. Beth meets Pete (Vincent Kartheiser) at a train station one night and the two have quite the affair. She’s also shown to be a little mentally unstable.
Amy Sherman-Palladino, who gave Alexis her major break on Gilmore Girls, was caught quoting of the arc that “they were good boobs,” which indeed were shown! It was quite the role to see our Alexis in. It definitely took some courage.
Alexis was interviewed about her role, saying:
I instantly wanted to know more about her because she’s quite mysterious and she’s conflicted… I felt for her right away. She is stuck in a bad marriage that is really taking a toll on her psyche I think, so I just wanted to explore what that meant for her.
It was something I was excited to do, because we all have moments of intense sadness in our lives… [Beth] is not the type of person that’s afraid to explore her darker thoughts, and she actually really needs to talk about them with someone and she finds that opportunity with Pete.
What did you think about this role for Alexis?
