GLAAD Awards Interviews: Jennifer Beals, Jane Lynch and more

I heart Jane Lynch.

Jennifer Beals is so lovely! Aww. She seems like such a really nice, down to earth lady and she looked fantastic. I love her, she's great :) and Jane Lynch is great too!

 ______________

On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?

As you know I only shop at TJ Maxx and therefore am always indifferent to what people are wearing but I was on the edge of my seat for the Ilene Chaiken "what are you wearing" reveal. Unfortunately I lost the office pool when she didn't credit Hefty, Zip-Loc or Papi's Go-To Hat Parlor Micheal's Craft Store.

In any event, love it, you big red carpet superstar you! Way to go!

Jennifer Beals is f*cking amazing.

It's her voice, her soulfulness and her compassion and intelligence that always shines through. It must be a delight to know her. 

Oh and yes, she's all kinds of hot and hysterically beautiful. By the way, she looked phenomenal in that dress! 

How funny is Jane Lynch! Awesome with a capital A.

Great interviews :) if that was me I would be soo all over the place and have no idea what to ask them or say to them! Everyone seemed really friendly though - I am very jealous lol

Does anyone else find that the new players stop to 'buffer' every couple of minutes when you're watching? I don't know if it's because my computer is quite slow or not.

Ok first I just wanna say Mandy needs more acting classes or something she sounds like a grade schooler and not someone thats 21. Plus that little movie 16 to life was done over 2 years ago while she was still filming south of nowhere and she didn't even go to the premier showing of it and Matt is NOT the lead in Rockville crap web series

 Jennifer seems soooo sweet and well spoken ALL the time I jst love her  wish LuH was there too but can't have everything.

even IC seem pretty nice  .. take notes mandy...;;;

You were so well poised! I would have been freaking out many different times. Especially if Jane Lynch let me look at the back of her jacket like that. I'm sure I would have ended up uncontrollably humping someones leg (yes sometimes I do feel like a untrained dog) or bitch slapping Ilene (ok maybe I wouldn't have bitch slapped her, and I also might now have humped any one's leg, but I don't think I would have been able to have kept a straight, happy, interested face while interviewing Ilene... All these are perfect reasons why I will never be allowed to interview anyone ever for anything.)

Thanks everyone, yes they were all EXTREMELY friendly and amazing. I had a fantastic time! I honestly could NOT have been more excited for my first time on the red carpet!

The more I learn about Jane Lynch, the more I like her

Also, and forgive me, but did anyone else joygasm when J Beals walked on camera.  You know when the L Word first started, I thought she was pretty, but I didnt see it.  Now, I SEE it.  She's frickin gorgeous.

How exciting!!!

What a way to pop the red carpet cherry! And nice composure with Jennifer Beals... I would have been so very flustered. Jane Lynch is one of my favorites too :)

You did a fabulous job! <3

Dear Alexi, watching your video was so amazing, you´ve done a great job!

You looked gorgeous - ok, not as gorgeous as Jennifer Beals but almost breathtaking... I loved your questions and I loved the nice answers you get from everyone. It seems like people all were in a good mood.

Can it be that David Lust is a kind of stick-in-the-mud sometimes? It looked like JB had a lot of fun talking to you and with you and that he was pressing her to continue walking the red carpet.

Maybe he thought you had to talk to him first for permission?

 However - thanks for the great video again and I hope to see a lot more from you in the near future.

 Thanks for sharing and take care! 

*I am JB addicted*

Lovely interview Alexi ;)

Gosh, i love Jennifer Beals. shes just so sweet <33

Ace self control with Jennifer Beals, I would have probs gone in for the hug! She is ridiculously beautiful. Great interviews!

I have so much respect for afterellen and the people they have writing and blogging for them but could someone please explain to me why Alexis was allowed to interview these people! she had the biggest opportunity but everyone looked so uncomfortable, almost as if they where been interviewed by an infant. This should have been a job for Karman!!

For a redcarpet virgin, i think you did a great job Alexi!

If that was me, yeah... i would faint or just not make any sense whenever i opened my mouth. I tend to mumble. 

My only advice is to try and be more energetic and assertive next time. You did awesome though. congrats!

Calm down guys, some people are being really unpleasant.

Alexi did a great job, everyone who's siiting at their computer and thinking that they're a rockstar and could do a better job should really take a minute to think about just how NERVE WRACKING that would have been.

I most likely would not have even been able to speak without sounding like a 11yr old school girl at a Briitney concert, and Alexi managed full words!

Good job, Thanks Alexi.

aw alexi, getting people into such a stir...lol, you were great. i loved the dress!  

this might just be me, but every time i see alan cumming i think of spice world. every.single.time.  

 Also i gotta say i was never really into Bette Porter...but now Jennifer Beals........i'm a fan  

Loved your dress Alexi.

People need to cut alexi some slack, it was her first time interviewing. Shes young and will get better with time. 

Could Jennifer Beals be an ounce more beautiful?

and I am not speaking simply of aesthetics. She speaks for seriously like 30 seconds and everyone is gushing. 

Alexi dominated and I would like to see anyone who is complaining do a better job. It can't be easy staying poised and asking questions with an enormous lady boner.

Jennifer Beals = 100% class. Wow. Just  WO.OW.  The woman is a walking dream.

I have to give IC one thing (and its probably the only thing), she certainly did a dream job for me in the casting of the L Word.

Between the everlasting stunningness that is Beals and the vivaciousness, lumuniousity, and outspoken loyalty of Holloman we scored big time.

"Why would I ever want to miss the opportunity to wear smelly used shoes, drink warm domestic beer and kick your ass?" the incomparable Jennifer Beals as Bette.

Got me so flustered with her awesomeness I triple posted.

P.S Alexi I officially am so jealous of you right now! Way to play it totally cool. Were you blushing? I would have been as red as your dress. My burning ears would have set off the fire suppression system.

You did a great job, Alexi!

I had no idea Rev. Robinson was so short, you were totally towering over him! LOL He reminds me of Elton John, the more I see of him the more he does.

Jennifer Beals was absolutely breathtaking. I want to have that woman's genes. Or jeans. As well. Yeah.

I have a huge crush on Alan Cumming and seeing the short interview (with him looking adorable) made it come back in full force. lol

Jane Lynch...I wanna be firends with you!!! At least... 

+++libraries gave us power+++

 YEAH,

Even trying to write this was hard, very happy to see all these great,wonderful and strong woman out there including you ALEXI, great first job, intervewing hot woman like that, u did me proud to speak and talk to them in a nice cute manner, in no way did you dissapoint me i for one would be frozzen still and say silly things, till next time  

PS: your dress was way way hot!!!!
