Gilmore News - Gilmore Girls Community
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.
Melissa McCarthy (Sookie on Gilmore Girls) has received an Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actress for her role on Bridesmaids. Melissa, who won an Emmy for Lead Actress for Mike & Molly, has been getting a lot of attention this year. Of this nomination, Melissa said:
“I didn’t get up or anything. I just did not expect that. AT ALL! Hopefully I’m not nuts. At some point today, I’m having champagne, dammit!”
Not everyone thinks Melissa deserved the nomination – but WE DO!!
I know that I personally get a little misty-eyed this time of year, missing all the wonderful Gilmore Girls episodes around winter and Christmas. Those were always my favourites. Here’s a fan video on Gilmore Girls Christmases that really moved me:
Do you have a favourite holiday moment from Gilmore Girls?
Melissa McCarthy (Sookie on Gilmore Girls) was recently named one of THR’s 2011 Women in Entertainment Power 100, listed alongside her Bridesmaids co-stars.
An event to celebrate the list was held on December 7th – here is a photo of Melissa from that breakfast event:
Arielle Kebbel (Lindsay Lister then Forester on Gilmore Girls) stars in the independent film Answer Me, which is currently finishing up some of its first premieres.
Summary: A brilliant trivia whiz, Paul Tarson (Christopher Gorham) is great at answering life’s little questions, but horrible at answering the big ones – like what’s he going to do after grad school?
Arielle stars in the film as Naomi, a girl that Paul falls for… who is also his student.
Riki Lindhome (Juliet from the Life & Death Brigade on Gilmore Girls) is just about to release her first Solo album. She has released several albums together with Kate Micucci for Garfunkel and Oates (who is having a sale today on their music). The 5-track EP, ‘Yell at Me From Your Car’, can be downloaded for $4.99 from CDBaby.
Jared Padalecki (Dean Forester on Gilmore Girls) and wife Genevieve Cortese, whom he met on the set of his show Supernatural, announced recently that they were expecting their first baby – and it’s a boy!
Jared says they’ve read “every book” about having a baby and pregnancy, so hopefully they’re well set! As for a name, Jared was interviewed recently and said:
“We’ve thrown around countless names, probably every one in the books, and a few that we kinda made up, but we both agree that we’d like to meet our child before we decide on a name.”
This is also a cute section between Jared and Gen:
We asked the parents-to-be what traits they’d like the baby to inherit from each respectively. Doting husband Jared said, “I could probably make a list pages long, but the most important traits that I hope the baby gets from Gen are her work ethic, her love of knowledge, her patience and her ability to empathize with those around her.” Equally smitten, Gen told Tonic, “I really hope the baby gets Jared’s lexicon, although that probably means I’ll be carrying around a dictionary all the time! I really hope baby gets dad’s sense of humor, work ethic, perseverance, athleticism, compassion, and kindness and of course…. toes!” She added, “Anything the baby gets from dad, I would be so proud.”
The couple has already raised $13k for St Jude Children’s Research Hospital. You can donate here.
Cutest couple ever on Halloween:
Jared Padalecki (Dean Forester on Gilmore Girls) and wife Genevieve Cortese, whom he met on the set of his show Supernatural, are expecting their first baby!

Jared announced the happy news on Twitter a day after the above photos were taken. Baby Padalecki is due in 2012.
The couple has asked, in lieu of gifts, that donations be made to St Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
