Gilmore Girls News-Thread

[herzchen26]

So sehe ich das auch ... sie dreht, soweit ich das mitkriege, ziemlich viel nebenher und die meiste Zeit geht wohl für GG drauf ... wo also einen anderen hernehmen und mal ehrlich: Matt wär doch ein Superfang ... schöner Körper, wunderschöne Augen, klasse Hände und schlau ist er ja auch, was man an seinem Abschluss mit Auszeichnung in Geschichte und Politikwissenschaften erkennen kann ... warum nicht ...

Sorry, falls ich jetzt ins OT gerutscht sein sollte ...

[NinaIII]

Mit Jared war sie angeblich zu Beginn der Serie auch zusammen

Aha...aha...und woher weiß man das?
Kann das gar nicht glauben, zumal die Kuss-szenen immer sehr unecht aussahen oder?

LG NinaIII
die das echt gerne mal wissen würde wollen.
Obwohl es ja nix ungewöhnliches ist, Schauspieler verlieben sich doch ständig in ihre Kollegen

[Sandra]

Man weiß das nicht, aber unter den Fans kursiert das Gerücht. Deswegen schrieb ich ja "angeblich".

Hier ist übrigens ein Artikel über "Multimillionär" Scott Patterson und seine Geldanlagen aus der New York Daily News:

Hollywood hunk gets
money makeover

BY PHYLLIS FURMAN
DAILY NEWS BUSINESS WRITER

It's hard to feel sorry for Scott Patterson, the handsome hunk who plays Lorelai Gilmore's love interest, Luke Danes, on the WB series "Gilmore Girls."

The show, which just finished its sixth year on the air and has been picked up for another season by the new CW network, has made Patterson a self-described multimillionaire.

He drives a $90,000 Mercedes and a $60,000 BMW and lives in a spacious home in Hollywood Hills, purchased in 2003 for $1.27 million.

"Lucy Liu and Clooney live down the street," Patterson told the Daily News.

But a little more than a decade ago, the six-foot-tall actor and ex-baseball player who spent time on a Yankees' minor league club, was broke and living in a 1966 Pontiac Tempest that he bought for $400.

Later on, even as commercial, small TV, and film roles came in - he was Elaine's "sponge-worthy" guy on "Seinfeld" - the money was never big or steady. In 1998 and 1999, the two years before Patterson got his "Gilmore" gig, he earned $23,000 and $33,000.

Acting is an unpredictable business and at age 47, Luke Danes is determined never to be hungry again.

Along with Jeffrey Fishman, a Los Angeles-based financial planner with a big Hollywood clientele, Patterson has scripted a financial plan that will let him sleep at night even after the studios stop calling.

While Fishman is a Hollywood actor, there are lessons to be learned from his story. It's a cautionary tale for anyone who comes into money quickly and is tempted to spend. And the low-risk plan he devised is a good one for anyone who knows that his or her earning years are limited.

"Actors suddenly come into money and there is a temptation to spend. Then suddenly the show is off the air and frequently people aren't prepared," Fishman said. "We want to capitalize on his years of highest earnings to ensure his long term financial security."

But Patterson is no typical celeb who hands off his money to a financial planner and heads for the studio set.

He reads Barron's and The Wall Street Journal and considers fabled Berkshire Hathaway sage Warren Buffett a hero. If his acting career stalled, he would pursue a degree in economics and finance, he said.

In May, when Patterson came to New York for the network "upfronts," to join his "Gilmore" co-stars in a glitzy presentation for advertisers, he made time for a visit with a "top derivatives" guy on Wall Street.

"Money fascinates me," Patterson said. When asked why, he noted his less-than-privileged childhood in Haddonfield, N.J., an affluent suburb in South Jersey. His father left his family when he was 15. His stepfather was a contractor.

"Growing up in that town, you saw the wealth you didn't have," Patterson said. "If I wanted a bike, I had to buy it."

By the time he met Fishman around 2001, Patterson already had his big break in "Gilmore" and was suddenly seeing sizable checks flowing in. He declined to reveal his salary. Actors on a series will typically start out earning $25,000 per episode - a full season is 26 episodes - but those numbers go up as a show gets renewed.

But even with money coming in, Patterson needed help. Flush with cash, he was taking big risks. During the dot-com bust, he lost $25,000 in one day on tech stock eToys.

He said the loss occurred because his broker failed to heed his directions to sell when the stock hit $1.

Patterson lost $5,000 in one night gambling in the Bahamas. Family members and friends were coming out of the woodwork asking for money. Everyone from real estate brokers to Steinway piano salesmen had something to sell him.

He was about to buy a home in Malibu he couldn't afford when Fishman brought him down to earth.

To start, the financial planner urged Patterson to create an emergency fund with about 12 months worth of living expenses. Then they set up a defined benefits pension plan. "We put in the maximum allowable by the IRS," Fishman said. "Very often actors do not have this."

A low-risk investment portfolio, a mix of stocks, bonds and mutual funds came next. Patterson got in and out of Google in two days and reaped a profit of $30,000. He wanted to buy Microsoft but Fishman "kept me away. Thank God he did," Patterson said. The portfolio has grown between 8% to 10% annually.

In 2003, Fishman guided a much-more-financially stable Patterson to buy the Hollywood Hills home. It has since nearly doubled in value.

Looking ahead, they see real estate values declining and are looking to buy distressed commercial and residential property.

Could he still live the good life if "Gilmore Girls" expired? "I'm just about there," he said. "If it went away today, I'd sell the house. I would be okay."

'Gilmore' guy's storyline

# Low point: Broke in 1993 and living out of car.

# Career break: Gets "Gilmore Girls" in 2000.

# Worst stock trade: Loses $25,000 in one day on eToys.

# Hot stock trade: Makes $30,000 on Google in two days.

# Best nonstock investment: Hollywood Hills house.

# Recent luxury purchase: Triple strand of Tiffany pearls, a gift.

# Looking to invest in: Real estate; derivatives.

Hier ist ein aktueller Artikel über Melissa McCarthy und ihre Comedy-Karriere vor GG. Außerdem hat sie gerade einen Film gedreht.

Sugar Shot
June 16, 2006
By Sarah Kuhn

Melissa McCarthy would like to thank the producers of MadTV. After all, they inadvertently helped her land the role of Sookie St. James, klutzy chef and best friend to Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) on the hit series Gilmore Girls. The part originally went to actor Alex Borstein, who is perhaps best-known for her wildly popular MadTV characters Miss Swan and The Gap Troll. MadTV wouldn't let Borstein out of her contract, and McCarthy nabbed the part. Quips McCarthy, "I should have sent all those producers flowers."

These days, it's hard to imagine anyone else bringing sweetly scatterbrained Sookie to life. Still, McCarthy found replacing Borstein a nerve-racking experience--particularly when Borstein showed up at the first table read. "I about had a heart attack, 'cause I thought, 'Oh, my God, they worked out her contract--she still has the part and no one called me,'" recalls McCarthy. "And no one really knew who I was, so I was just kind of standing there, having a bit of a meltdown: 'At some point they're going to start, and then I'm just going to, like, back out of the room.' But she got up, came all the way across the room, and introduced herself and let me know, 'You're not crazy, and I'm playing a different part'-she did some guest-star work on [the show]... She was the sweetest person to me." Incidentally, Borstein's real-life husband, Jackson Douglas, plays McCarthy's husband on the series.

Gilmore Girls returns this fall for a sixth season, but McCarthy is keeping busy in the meantime. She just finished working on a film called One Part Sugar, a comedy about "a little decrepit town that takes its power back from the bad guy."

"I wear a really, really pretty waist-length mullet in it," relates McCarthy. "[It's] just this side of playing a man. It's not my beauty role, but it was really fun."

She's also set to appear at "Achieve Comedy Greatness-From the Ground-lings Up," a comedy-focused Learning Annex panel/class on Tues., June 20. The panel features notable members and alums of The Groundlings, Los Angeles' legendary comedy/improv troupe that has launched such talents as Lisa Kudrow and Will Ferrell. McCarthy's fellow panelists include Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Mindy Sterling (Austin Powers), and Michael McDonald (MadTV). "There's a pretty good group going from kind of a variety of angles..." says McCarthy. "I think you get [together] a handful of funny people that have kind of been in the business long enough, and you'll probably get a lot of straightforward answers."


Comic Creation

McCarthy is a current company member at The Groundlings and recalls seeking the troupe out when she moved to Los Angeles about nine years ago. "My sister, who's not in the business at all, sent me an article all about The Groundlings and all the people who had come out of there," she recalls. "It just piqued my interest, so when I got to town, it's the first place I went, and I saw a show, and I had never seen anything like it. I think Kathy Griffin was there, and Patrick Bristow and Mike McDonald. And I saw these people just slightly out of their minds in a delightful way. I thought, 'Gosh, that looks like fun.' So I went back and auditioned and started taking classes and that began a very long love affair with The Groundlings."

Before that, she started her career in New York City, doing standup comedy. "I had moved [to New York] with a friend of mine, and he said, 'You have to do an open mic-it's ridiculous. You're basically doing standup anyway at parties,'" she remembers. "I came home and he had open mics booked for me. I kind of had no choice, and I didn't really know what they were, so I just showed up and I just talked. I did...I guess what's now alternative comedy: stream-of-consciousness stories. I just did that because I've never really been jokey and I didn't really know what I was doing, so I didn't prepare. Things went well, so I kept going back. It wasn't for quite a while that someone was like, 'Your 10-minute set seems like it changes.' I was like, 'Changes? I've never written anything down.'"

From there, McCarthy started acting in plays. "I did years and years of very serious, depressing plays," she says, laughing. "I didn't do anything comedic again until Groundlings. So I spent a good five or six years crying all through little stages in Manhattan."

On Solid Groundling

McCarthy says having such a strong improv background has helped in all facets of her acting. "I think it's really easy to kind of prerehearse your stuff and anticipate how it's going to come out, and I think…as we're learning lines, it plays out a certain way in our heads, and that usually or rarely matches what happens on the day of shooting," she says. "So to not be thrown by that and kind of take it as a nice surprise is always good. It's always much more interesting-if you're thrown a little off balance, it usually works in your favor."

That said, McCarthy doesn't get to use her improv skills much when it comes to Gilmore's whip-smart, fast-paced dialogue. "There is absolutely no changing [of the lines]-not a preposition, not anything," she says. "It is a show that's done verbatim, and it's a rhythm and style show, so it makes sense. It's written at a certain clip and a certain style, and what [creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has] always wanted is for that to translate. That is our job: What she gets out on paper, we've got to get it out of our mouths."

Is that strange for McCarthy, given her extensive improv training? "It is, because I constantly think things are funny in the script and then I always want to elaborate," she says, chuckling. "I've gotten used to not doing it... There's no time for it-that show is so tightly, tightly packed. There's not an extra second that we're not trying to get four pages in."

And that, she says, is why she continues to be a part of The Groundlings. "That's where I write; that's where I get that great interaction with a live audience. That keeps me sane," she says. "If I didn't have Groundlings, I would probably be trying stuff at Gilmore all the time to the point of them wanting to kill me."

gibt es jetzt eigentlich eine siebte gg-staffel? Möglicherweise steht es hier schon vorher im thread, aber ich war zu faul zum suchen. Ich hab nämlich kürzlich gelesen, dass nach der sechsten schluss sein soll?

[beauty]

es gibt noch eine 7 staffel.. die startet in amerika im herbst und wird noch während der austrahlung in den usa gedreht.. allerdings schreibt nun david rosenthal die texte und dialoge und nicht mehr amy + daniel sherman palladino..

@other stimmt das das david die schreibfunktion übernimmt oder war es doch eine andere funktion ?

[Sandra]

David Rosenthal ist nun Produzent und Showrunner (also der Chef von det Janze...) und wird auch Folgen schreiben. Allerdings nicht alle 22 Drehbücher, sondern nur einen Teil, den Rest schreiben andere Autoren, wie das ja bei den Palladinos auch war.

[beauty]

genau so meent ick ditte danke sandra!

[Taribi]

Man weiß das nicht, aber unter den Fans kursiert das Gerücht. Deswegen schrieb ich ja "angeblich".

Also ich denke nicht,dass die beiden mal zusammen waren.Zwar kann ich's nicht 100% ausschließen,allerdings sagte Alexis mal in einem Interview,dass sie nicht wirklich auf Jared's bzw. Dean's Größe klarkommt und es für sie nicht gerade eine Freude war die Kussszenen mit ihm zu drehen...Daher denke ich nicht,dass sie sich privat diesen "Streß" gemacht hat

[BrightBlueEyes]

Für alle die es noch nicht wissen, man kann jetzt "Eine für Vier" bei amazon erwerben
