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.
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.
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 in the film Son of Morning, a film about an environmental catastrophe that threatens the world.
“Phillip Katz (Joe Cross, Milk), a stressed-out, lowly copywriter, experiences an episode of stigmata in church and is positioned as the next MESSIAH by ambitious reporter, Josephine Tuttle (Heather Graham).
Phillip is whisked away to a lavish hotel suite as politicians, reporters, and devout fans descend upon him, each hoping to exploit Phillip for their own purposes. After becoming the most famous man on the planet in less than a day, Phillip must decide how to use his newfound celebrity…
SON OF MORNING is a stylized satire about the media in the age of the 24-hour news cycle.”
Too bad the website spelled his name wrong. Ugh!
Scott Patterson (Luke Danes on Gilmore Girls) was recently announced as starring in The Boys of Abu Ghraib.
The film is about an American soldier deployed at Abu Ghraib who finds himself behind the walls of the infamous Hard Site where he develops a secret friendship with an Iraqi detainee. Scott Patterson plays Captain Hayes in the film.
The Boys of Abu Ghraib co-stars Sean Astin, Omid Abtahi, Michael Welch, Elijah Kelley, John Robinson, Sara Paxton, Jermaine Williams, Jerry Hernandez, Cru Ennis, John Heard, Luke Moran
Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore on Gilmore Girls) stars in Violet & Daisy, a film about two teenage assassins who land in a complicated job. Alexis Bledel and Saoirse Ronan star as the assassins. It has just been announced that Violet & Daisy will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) starting on September 15th.
Alexis is said to provide “surprising fury” to the film. Apparently the girls accept what they think will be a tidy job, going about their business as if it completely doesn’t affect them, but their target Michael (James Gandolfini) turns out to be someone other than they expected.
