Keri Russell Gossip

Look, let’s get it out of the way. This is not going to be an insightful post about the way entertainment reflects our world. It’s an astounded, curious, scientific one, as in “WTF is it about these two?” You would have to be a total stranger reading this site for the first time not to know that I am obsessed with  i)    These two people ii)    Their show The Americans and how it succeeded based on their  iii)    INSANE, SO-TACTILE-YOU-CAN-SMELL-IT CHEMISTRY. Full Story

The Americans won for best writing in a Drama Series, and my Twitter exploded like it was my birthday and my wedding day both. We got excited, because awards so rarely go the way they’re supposed to, and The Americans won for the best finale of the best season of the best show.    And then Matthew Rhys Full Story

You know what it was that did it? It was that one particular line during VEEP’s win for Best Comedy Series. Showrunner David Mandel, in his speech, said they had a “no asshole policy” on the show “…and everyone abides by it except Julia”. And everybody laughed. Full Story

Or Keri Russell and Scott Speedman, OMG. Keri Russell was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday but the only thing anyone cares about is BEN AND FELICITY. Full Story

When we divide up the people we’re going to write about at LaineyGossip, some are for fighting over—wait for that later today—and some are just givens. Nobody would even have to blink before handing me Keri Russell Full Story

Do not come crying to me. The Americans is never going to win any awards, and then you guys are going to discover it like two years after it’s cancelled, and you’re going to try to tell me all about how amazing it is, and how it’s criminal that nobody knew. I do not want to hear it, okay? What’s more, we don’t need you. Full Story

You know, it’s not even about explaining how much of a loss it was that The Americans – who are, in name, Rhys and Russell – got so snubbed last night. Remember Coach and Mrs. Coach? Remember that marriage, and how hot-but-real it felt? Phillip and Elizabeth Jennings are much hotter, far more real, AND they’re also together in real life. Full Story

Before we get to the nominations, let me just point out how much more energy and excitement there is when the West Coast doesn’t have to wake up at 3:30 AM. Whether that’s good or bad is up to the nomination show’s producers, I guess. The more excited Anthony Anderson Full Story

Ginnifer Goodwin and her husband Josh Dallas named their new baby Hugo Wilson Dallas. I really, really love Hugo, even though one of my strongest aural memories of it is Perpetua ‘yars’-ing the name in Bridget Jones’s Diary. It’s a good name, works well with their first son, Oliver Finlay, and, though I’m not personally a Goodwin or Once Upon A Time fan, I appreciate that there’s no-muss-no-fuss about the announcement. Full Story

“Do you want to do Keri Russell?” Lainey asks. She knows I’ll say yes, because I love Elizabeth Jennings so much, and weirdly because none of you are watching the show, it seems as though The Americans is my personal secret, and further seems as though only I can write about women who pronounce their names “Carrie” today. Full Story

So the pendulum swings all the way to the other side.  These Hollywood Reporter articles where we’re in conversation with actresses are so enlightening. Officially there must be men’s ones too, but you’ll notice they never get tweeted all over like the women’s ones do. So this year’s Unofficially Emmy Nominees Probably With Few Repeats From Last Year are Julianna Margulies, Vera Farmiga, Sarah Paulson, Claire Danes, Keri Russell, and Jessica Pare. Full Story
