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.

Summary: In every city in America there’s always that strange man on the street corner shouting out that the end of the world is coming, and only those pure in heart and in their love of God can survive the coming apocalypse. But what if that man was actually right, and he was the only person who could save us from destroying ourselves? Derek Everlast is that man, and one of the few people who can ferry others to a place called Haven, the one place of safety from the end of the world.

Katie Walder on “NTSF:SD:SUV”

Katie Walder (Janet Billings on Gilmore Girls) guest stars on the 6th episode in the first season of the Adult Swim series NTSF:SD:SUV The series seems to spoof a bunch of other acronym-based police procedurals we know an love, with the title of the “National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sport Utility Vehicle”. The show runs 15-minute episodes that are “ripped from the headlines and full of suspense, action, drama, cliffhangers, yelling, passionate love-making, more yelling, death and plenty of pregnant pauses”.

In the August 25th episode, ‘Tijuana, We’ve Got A Problem,’ “a stripper-astronaut steals the space shuttle plans and sells them to Mexico. Now NTSF must go into Mexico and stop the evil President Felipe Calderon before they beat the U.S.A. in the space race.”

Katie also tweeted that she’s going to be guest starring on ABC’s new Man Up.

Sebastian Bach Releases “Kicking & Screaming”

Sebastian Bach (Gil on Gilmore Girls) is releasing his latest CD, ‘Kicking & Screaming,’ on September 27th. He’s already launched the music video for the title track.

Of the album, Sebastian says:

“This CD will follow along the lines of ‘Skid Row’, ‘Slave To The Grind’, ‘Subhuman Race’ and ‘Angel Down’. If you like rockin’ guitar riffs, high-energy songs and performances, deadly drums of doom, and ear-shattering screams, we got your rock right here! [The songs are] heavy, interesting, classic sounding, modern sounding, completely rock ‘n’ roll — just how we like it!”

Here’s a music video to for the title track of the album:

Here’s an interview with Sebastian about the album:

Amy Sherman-Palladino to Write “The Nanny Diaries” Series

Amy Sherman-Palladino, writer and creator for Gilmore Girls, may soon be adapting the 2002 book The Nanny Diaries into a TV series for ABC.

The Emma McLaughlin bestselling book series was first created into a movie in 2007 starring Scarlett Johansson, Laura Linney and Alicia Keyes. The series is about a set of nannies who work for upper class Manhattan parents.

Though the movie wasn’t a blockbuster success, ABC is hoping that the success of the book will translate it well into a tv series.

I hope it works out! After going to pilot for ABC, Amy Sherman-Palladino’s The Wyoming Project did not get picked up and her The Return of Jezebel James for FOX lasted less than one season.

Teal Redmann Supports Dream Again

We don’t often hear from Teal Redmann (Louise on Gilmore Girls), whose imdb profile has not had any updates since 2006. It’s a treat, therefore, for me to share a video that Teal is in on behalf of the Dream Again Campaign for Love146, to combat Child Sex Slavery & Exploitation.

I wish I had more than this video to share with you, but I think Teal looks great and I hope that we’ll see more of her soon.
