First Trailer for Alexis Bledel’s new show: Us and Them

May 14, 2013 By Rich 3 Comments

us staceyAlexis Bledel (who you may recognise as Rory Gilmore from Gilmore Girls) and Jason Ritter (recently seen as Lauren Graham’s romantic interest in Parenthood) have a new trailer for Fox’s new mid-season show, Us and Them.

Based on the cult BBC show Gavin and Stacey, the trailer looks promising and gives a good glimpse of Alexis with a new ‘do, starring as the sweet Stacey who travels from Pennsylvania to New York for a first in-person date with down-to-earth co-worker Gavin.

The supporting cast of friends and family is gagging with comedic talent and the series has solid roots.  Could be good; could be great.  What do you think?

Gilmore Girls in the Movies

April 30, 2013 By Rich 7 Comments

When was the last time your started lollygagging at the TV, pointing and gibbering at the screen because one of the Gilmore Girls alumni turned up where they shouldn’t? What, just me? Come on, ‘fess up.

lorelai and arlen

Sean Gunn (GG’s Kirk) turning up in Glee was a nice surprise, although he was criminally underused. And I always have a moment of re-acclimatisation seeing Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore) as the mother in Dirty Dancing. Uh, not that I watch Dirty Dancing over and over or anything.

They’ve had a fair run at the movies too, stand-outs being Milo Ventimiglia (Jess) in Rocky Balboa and Melissa McCarthy (Sookie) in Bridesmaids. Keiko Agena (Lane) recently won Best Supporting Actress for the short Lil Tokyo Reporter at the AoF Awards.

Prior to her blossoming career in publishing, Lauren Graham (Lorelai Gilmore) had a few good features under her belt. She was a Lorelai-a-like in the charming comedy The Answer Man (aka Arlen Faber), had a small part in the great Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, was underwritten in Evan Almighty and successfully played against type in Bad Santa.

Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore) carried on her Rory story in Post Grad, vacationed with her buddies in the enjoyable Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants and made the most of her baby blues in Sin City.

What’s your favourite non-Gilmore role from a Gilmore Girls actor? Extra points for anything really obscure.

Alexis Bledel Engaged

March 22, 2013 By arieanna 4 Comments

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 :)

Alexis Bledel joins Friends and Family, Rory Gilmore goes into therapy

March 3, 2013 By Rich 6 Comments

sobThere’s a shrink somewhere rubbing his hands with glee. Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls’ Rory Gilmore) joins the pilot cast of Friends and Family, the US adaptation of cult Britcom Gavin and Stacey.

Alexis will star as Stacey, a sweet and strong girl who travels from Pennsylvania to New York for a first in-person date with co-worker Gavin. So far, so normal but here’s where it gets weird. Gavin will be played by Jason Ritter, who we last bumped into as Lauren Graham’s (Gilmore Girls’ Lorelai Gilmore and Rory’s MOTHER) romantic interest in Parenthood. Like, blech.

Thank heaven this plotline never played out in the Gilmore universe, although I wouldn’t put it past Kirk to ask Rory out, a few years down the line. Too weird. Reminds me of last time Rory was at shrink after getting out of jail, after stealing a boat with Logan:

Rory: I stole a boat with him! I never stole a boat with Dean!
Dr Shapiro: Who’s Dean?
Rory: My married ex-boyfriend who I lost my virginity to.
Dr Shapiro: Wow…
Rory: Yeah, I’m a treat.

(s06e11 The Perfect Dress)

The pilot brings its British production staff and writing talent, so fingers crossed for Alexis and the series – who knows what the American television production process will do to mangle the cult show. Another The Office – or another Red Dwarf?

Alexis Bledel on Mad Men

January 29, 2013 By arieanna 5 Comments

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?
