Question: I miss seeing Lauren Graham every week on Gilmore Girls! Any
news on what she's up to? — Kelsey
Ausiello: She was hanging out with bud Matthew Perry at the
just-wrapped Sundance Film Festival, where they were supporting their
new flick, Birds of America. A little birdie passed along some
interesting tidbits from the film's press kit. Like this quote from
Lauren on how she became involved in the project: "I was in New York
and full of conflicted feelings about Gilmore Girls coming to an end.
We'd just shot the final episode and I still hadn't even become used
to not having to be up at six every morning. So I was at dinner in New
York when my phone rang with the news that [director] Craig Lucas
wanted to meet me the next day. The meeting went great and we started
shooting two weeks later." She added that, from a production
standpoint, Birds was "very different" than GG. "Gilmore Girls was
very rat-a-tat-tat, a high-energy show with lots of language. We'd
shoot nine, 10, 11 pages a day, but we always had time — time to
rehearse, talk, prepare. On this movie, we worked insanely quickly: I
remember hearing 'rolling!' the second I'd set foot on set."

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.
It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
