Alexis Bledel Gossip

Maybe the key to this year is that the real awesomeness happened at the Creative Arts Emmys 10 days ago. Because Kenan Thompson won an Emmy, finally, and the shot of him kissing it is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, and then Samira Wiley Full Story

I had several emotions in a row when I read this headline today, telling us Alexis Bledel will be a series regular in Season 2 of The Handmaid’s Tale. My first thought was, yeah, no sh*t, she was great. Of course they should up her to series regular. Full Story

I’m still making my way through Gilmore Girls. It’s been months, I know. And I like it, I do. It’s just not binge-TV for me. So far I’m two episodes into season 5. And finally, finally Rory has done something interesting. But I am most interested in Rory now because of Alexis Bledel Full Story

I really appreciate having couple of days to sit with A Year In The Life. I took my time, as Kathleen texted me ever-more-frantically. “Have you started yet?! HURRY!” “OMG.” “OMG ARE YOU AWAKE?” (OK, that last one was me.) I feared being disappointed, because I thought the show might be sanitized or saccharine. Full Story

She always will be, right? Alexis Bledel could shave her head and go on to win an Oscar (HA) for playing an ex-con or something and she’ll still be Rory Gilmore. Duana is going to recap Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life so #nospoilers but we’ve been exchanging late night texts which consist mainly of me yelling at her to hurry up and finish because OMG THOSE FINAL FOUR WORDS. Full Story

I got lucky back in June. On June 12th, right after the Tony Awards ended, a new block of Hamilton tickets was released and somehow I was able to get a couple, good seats too, on December 3. New York City on a Saturday night during the holidays with Duana. It’s Duana who’s the Hamilton scholar on our team. Full Story

I'm through two seasons of Gilmore Girls. It's not a show I feel I need to rip through. I don't stay up to 4am burning through episodes. That said, I do look forward to new ones, I'm just not an addict. But I think this is to the show's advantage. It might be the show's secret, which I'm sure is not a new observation, since I'm so late coming to the series and probably every angle of analysis has already been made. Full Story

I’ve always loved the factoid that economy influences fashion: When times are tough, formal stuff, like military influences or higher heels, are in– if you don’t have a lot of money to spend, you want each thing to look like a million bucks. During flush times, though, looking like you don’t make an effort is key—that’s why parents were horrified by ripped jeans in the 80s. Full Story

I love the way the fans are being treated with the Gilmore Girls revival. There is a treat every other week. It’s kind of ironic, because wild horses couldn’t drag these fans away. And this trailer delivers all the goods.  Every face you wanted to see, right? There’s Logan! There’s Taylor! There’s OMGJess! There’s Lane, there’s Paris, there’s Kirk(!?), there’s Gypsy, even… …and now I say ‘enough already’. Full Story

Duana has been trying to get me to watch Gilmore Girls for a long time. I was sick all weekend and it was Thanksgiving in Canada so I started and have now finished the first season. While I’m not in love with it yet, I am in love with Emily Gilmore – so much. Also Mr Medina is gross – SO GROSS – and I don’t know why Lorelai is attracted to him. Full Story
