Emmy Awards 2025 Thank You For Being A Fearless, Forthright Friend There were, as always, a lot of hopes that went unfulfilled at last night’s Emmys – like when Elizabeth Banks noted the five female directors nominated only to have the sole man win. But the moments of solidarity and friendship, on and offscreen, felt like they were larger than the By Duana • Sep 15, 2025 09:32 am
TV Updates Lauren Graham’s Post-Millennial Musical Twitter gets a bad rap, and approximately 87% of the time it’s deserved. But I cannot quit an application that occasionally gives me massive, unexpected joy bombs.

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, March 17, 2017 After reading Sarah’s review of Beauty And The Beast, all I can think about is poo and beastiality. So. With that in mind, Emma Watson plays with kittens. 😻😻😻😻😻😻 @bestfriendsanimalsociety @buzzfeed @beautyandthebeast A post shared by Emma Watson (@emmawatson) onMar 16, 2017 at 4:56pm PDT Dolly Parton wishes you By Lainey • Mar 17, 2017 03:52 pm
TV Updates Lauren Graham in Linda From HR Well, if only it were always this easy. Yesterday I wrote about Mae Whitman's new pilot and wondered whether or not there would be any conflict with her project with Lauren Graham, The Royal We. It was as if I asked the internet itself to smile on me, By Duana • Feb 24, 2017 11:00 am
TV Updates Gilmore Girls: A, Single, Non-Definitive, Year In The Life 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 By Duana • Nov 30, 2016 03:40 pm
Show Your Work Podcast Hamilton, Harry, and Gilmore 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. By Lainey • Nov 22, 2016 12:02 pm
TV Updates Gilmore Girls in Berlin 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 By Lainey • Nov 11, 2016 03:50 pm
TV Updates Gilmore Girls just got way more important 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 By Duana • Nov 10, 2016 01:36 pm
TV Updates Road to Gilmore Girls: Trailer of Melancholy 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’ By Duana • Oct 25, 2016 01:34 pm
TV Updates Lorelai and Rory Return November 25th “I like knowing things” So do I, Rory Gilmore. I like knowing what I’ll be doing on November 25th, the day after American Thanksgiving, when the four ‘seasons’ of Gilmore Girls drop on Netflix. I like knowing that, though Lorelai’s kitchen table is intact, and still cluttered enough By Duana • Jul 27, 2016 04:30 pm
TV Updates Emmy Nominations 2016 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 By Duana • Jul 14, 2016 02:33 pm
Alexis Bledel Gilmore Bait...and switch? This week’s Entertainment Weekly has exclusive photos of the upcoming Gilmore Girls movies coming to Netflix later this year, and I am curious. I am excited. I am very, very much aware that I’m being teased. There’s nothing in these pictures we don’t know. Lorelai and By Duana • Apr 07, 2016 03:54 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Bravermans, Fug Girls, and Kate Middleton. Yesterday was a fine day to be Lauren Graham (as if all the others aren’t). Because in addition to the news that Gilmore Girls is set to have a series of special episodes on Netflix, it was announced that Graham and her other, more recent, perhaps more realistic TV By Duana • Oct 20, 2015 03:25 pm
Lauren Graham Lauren Graham on Late Night That is, kind of. Maybe not quite in the way that you’re thinking. Parenthood’s doors are closed. There will be no reprieve, in case you were wishing and hoping. It’s done. Which means the cast, whom we all agree are incredibly talented, get to go on to By Duana • Dec 02, 2014 01:02 pm
Book Review Someday, Someday Maybe – A Novel Each summer has historically been a wasteland for Parenthood fans who juuuust got off the anxiousness of wondering whether their show has returned.
