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!!
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.
Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore on Gilmore Girls) stars in the drama The Brass Teapot, a film that centres on a young broke couple who steal a teapot that produces cash whenever someone feels pain. The film co-stars Juno Temple, Michael Angarano and Alia Shawkat – Alexis doesn’t have a role as one in the two leads, but is a supporting actor in the cast as Payton.
“Thrilled by this extraordinary source of free money, John and Alice start to figure out ways to hurt themselves, each other and eventually others. But as the pain, both physical and emotional, escalates, John and Alice begin to realize they are on a slippery slope…
A magical and offbeat dark comedy, THE BRASS TEAPOT is also a hilarious fable about temptation and the lengths to which people will go for money.”
The film is based on a comic book series and is expected to have a 2012 release.
Melissa McCarthy (Sookie on Gilmore Girls) has many projects on the go right now – what a fantastic year for her! Aside from starring in Mike & Molly, and starting her own plus-sized fashion line, she is co-creating a new comedy series for CBS, is tapped for a new Judd Apatow film, and sold her first script to Paramount Pictures.
In addition to all of that awesomeness, Melissa is now in talks with Tate Taylor (director of The Help) for a film called Tammy for New Line Cinema.
According to the news, the comedy project was created by Melissa McCarthy with husband Ben Falcone. The project centres on an “overweight woman who is laid off from her job at Hardee’s, discovers her husband is having an affair, and decides to go on a road trip with her alcoholic, foul-mouthed, diabetic grandmother.”
Bizarre, but fun.
Arielle Kebbel (Lindsay Lister then Forester on Gilmore Girls) has been cast in a recurring role for 90210. She will play Vanessa, a “charismatic, edgy and vivacious former bad girl who enjoys a little risk-taking now and again.”
Arielle’s character Vanessa will become romantically involved with one of the leading men on 90210, though as yet we’re not sure who.
Arielle’s arc in the series will begin airing this December.
Do you watch 90210? Who do you think Vanessa may be a love interest for?
Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore on Gilmore Girls) appeared on the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of her movie Violet & Daisy just a couple of days ago.
According to reviews, some people don’t love (but mostly like) the film and some don’t love Bledel’s acting in it, calling her “flat”.
Alexis Bledel just turned 30 (can you believe it?!) and I hope she had a great celebration for it! [Read more...]
Edward Herrmann (Richard Gilmore on Gilmore Girls) stars as Governor Dawson in the film, For Robbing the Dead, a story of judgment, justice, and mercy in the Old West. Henry Heath is a grieving lawman whose daughter has recently died; he is assigned custody of the ghoulish Jean Baptiste, a notorious robber of 300 graves. Against the perilous Utah desert terrain, the contempt of an entire community, and his own prejudice, Heath must somehow keep a marked man alive.
