Lauren has been out and about promoting her role in the upcoming TV series Parenthood. Firstly, Lauren Graham appeared on Ellen, the video of which you can catch on YouTube.
She also chatted with Michael Ausiello on EW.com. Of the script, she says, “It’s the best thing I’ve read.” And of her character:
She’s a single mom, yes, but I don’t think the tone of the show is the same. The sound of Gilmore Girls, that voice, is so unique to Amy [Sherman-Palladino]. This show has its own voice. It’s a grown-up show, too. It doesn’t have some of the more whimsical elements of [Gilmore Girls]. It’s more realistic.
Of course, with Jason Katims as creator, Parenthood is still likely to be good. Looking forward to it after the Winter Olympics this season.
Alexis Bledel has been cast to appear in The Conspirator, a film about Mary Surratt, a woman who was arrested and charged with conspiracy to assassinate Abraham Lincoln. Mary Surratt is played by Robin Wright Penn, whom I remember as Jenny in Forrest Gump. Alexis will play the part of Catherine Morgan, wife of Frederick Aiken (James McAvoy), the lawyer who defended Surratt.
Who is Danny Pudi? He played Raj, one of the Yale Daily News staffers in season 7. This week, he briefly talked to The TV Addict about Gilmore Girls, working with Liza Weil, and other stuff.
Found this on Jenna B’s “Life” blog:
I’m watching Gilmore Girls and this guys nick name is Digger and it made me laugh so it became the title [of this blog post].
