Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever. (February 8, 2008)

Yay -- Exes & Ohs dvd!

Arrested Development movie! I'm so excited!

And Thirteen's bi! It's like Christmas . . . ya know, if Christmas was gay.

The lesbian Gilligan's Island thing sounds like it has real potential. That is a hilarious picture. I never realized how white they all were -- but when you put their faces on tan bodies -- wow, it's weird.

Malinda, you're a genius. I have faith in Dorothy Snarker, she can do it! (please?!)

. . . What ever happened to Life? Did they run out of episodes or something? It's so depressing, there's almost nothing worth watching anymore -- which is why AfterEllen is so awesome (okay, there is a long list of reasons, this is only one of them) you guys have so many vlogs that I barely have time to miss my tv shows!

Oh and about the Buffy comic....

Don't get too excited. But from what i can tell, Buffy didn't actually turn Satsu down. She was more worried about the fact people who love her get hurt. -dares to hope-

The role of Anne Kronenberg in Milk is being played by the very talented actress (and adorable) Allison Pill and, yes, it will be a significant part in the movie.  Vicky Cristina Barcelona is far more complex than NY Post may be picturing it from what I've heard and Rebecca Hall is apparently just as important to the romances as the three big stars. 

Yah, I'm not exactly keen on her either, dont hate though...cos it'll do us all good. raise awareness and all that ..

If its alright for Paris Hilton to be seen with gays and be on a gay tv show... blahblah .. you get where im going with this...

 So yeh.. give her a break - Im sure as hell she'll get the ratings up anyways!

yeahh!! penelope and scarlett? i'm so looking foward to this one

but i'm even more stoked for the private lives of pippa lee!!!!!

oh.. and i'm seriously gonna start watching doctor house.. i can't resist olivia wilde anymore..

thanks malinda for a great week :]

qualify for Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever.? Wouldn't that news be more appropriate for...I don't know...Best. Hetero. Week. Ever.? I'm just sayin'

And P.S. the guy who played Connor!?! I knew there was more going on in those playing house scenes...

UPDATE: Btw, I enjoy Kristanna Loken quite a bit (even in Painkiller Jane). I'm not opposed to hearing that she's getting married either. I just don't think it's a bit of news that fits the BLWE category...

She and Mischa need to play gay together again. Like, now.

This was a fucking loaded week. Juicy stuff.

Could Jennifer Beals get any more couture? I mean, really...I want to play with the Japanese lesbians, too. When I grow up, I want to be just like her.

Annnnnd congrats to Tegan and Sara, <333333.

...and all was well, and the world smiled.

Ugh say it isn't so!?!? I loath Paris Hilton and everything she thinks she represents....which is really not a whole lot. She seems to be able to worm her way into every situation in such an obnoxious scene-stealing-rumor-starting way. I was sad enough that she was partying it up with the cast at the premier. I think the only thing that could outshine her bad acting would be if she "experimented with lesbianism" which you know is exactly how she'd put it.

At least there's also news of an Arrested Development movie! My devotion to that show knows no bounds!!!!

Great Article this week!

Thanks!

Did anyone notice Shane in The L Word promo? She's the stick with a wig and a tie in the last scene. Lol! :D

Alexandra Paul's sister is Caroline Paul. She's a fire-fighter and she's the author of Fighting Fire and East Wind, Rain. This is her official website, http://www.carolinepaul.com/

Was hilarious, and yeaaaah so much Kate Mckinnon 
wish we could see TBGSS in belgium :(

The Paul siblings are pretty darn interesting. I actually read Caroline Paul's autobiography a long time ago, it was quite engrossing. She was on of the first women to become a firefighter in San Francisco (after having graduated from Stanford). She has gone on to become and author as well. Well, let's take a look at her official bio (from her webiste):

<<As an adult she became a white water raft guide, a private pilot, and competed in the U.S. Nationals for the sport of Luge. She has seakayaked in Alaska, mountain biked in places like China and Vietnam, flown her paraglider in Brazil, and skied the backcountry of Denali and the Sierras. Most recently she learned to fly an ultralight.

Caroline graduated from Stanford University with plans to become documentary filmmaker. Instead she fell into firefighting and eventually wrote Fighting Fire, a memoir of her time as a San Francisco firefighter. Fighting Fire went on to garner a large readership and critical acclaim. It was a Book of the Month Club selection, voted a Top Ten Summer Read by the Today Show, highlighted on the Rosie O'Donnell Show, and received HIGHEST HONORS from the Library Journal, which represents libraries around the country.>>

And amazingly, she looks exactly like her identical actress sister, Alexandra Paul. Check out Alexandra's wiki entry, she's no slouch either! So while one sister is a Stanford educated, fireifghter and author, and the other is a famous actress and Ironman athlete...umm, their BROTHER is in the Federal penitentiary serving four years for being an "Eco-Terrorist"! Daaaang!

NOW. Since Caroline lives in SF and "The Lo Down" is shot in SF....can you guys get an interview with Caroline going? This way Malinda can become AE's reigning "lesbian firefighter" expert.

Okay, Penelope and Scarlett? wow... can't wait! it's a dream come true...

Paris Hilton on the L word? PLEASE NO... that'd be the most stupid thing ever to do... besides killing Dana and getting rid of Carmen.

The L word promo was SO hilarious, the most funny thing i've seen this week on AE.

 Seriously?????  I was afraid this sh*t would happen.  Please say it isn't sooo.  How does that girl seriously waltz her way into these things?  Dammit! *slaps forehead*

My  birthday week may just end on a good note after all.

Julianna Moore will play Lesbian:Sweet Heavens. A Longtime fav  red-hairedcrush next to Molly Ringwald.

I'm not totally crazy about Penelope but seeing her with Scarlett J. oh  goddess is toal wetness

Arrested Develeopment will be a movie:Oh yes (BIG SMILES) Loved that show

I can't wait to see Tru Loved, especially since it being an all multi-racial  and  out multi-sexual identified cast. Brilliant!  I love it when people make movies like that.

Exes and Ohs on DVD in May. I'm saving my money and marking my calendar.

BGSS's promo of the L word premeiring on Logo. So Classic. So Funny. Brilliant!

 I'm loving the  lesbian scoops . I heart this week's B.L.W.E. 

"Do I have to dial 9 to call 911?"( This  quote was shared to me by a nurse who was talking about her then 14 year old  daughter who asked her  this while the father was suffering a heat stroke)

WOW. This really is a great week! I don’t know where to start. One of my favorite shows ever, Arrested Development is headed to the big screen. The Land sounds awesome. The new BTVS comic (I knew she was the one that loved Buffy). Penelope and Scarlett = HOT! I do not like Woody Allen movies but this is one I will definitely watch. Paris on The L Word, eh, not so much but all bells and whistles are signaling a sixth season may happen (please!!!). If Marlee Matlin is on DWTS that will be enough for me to finally watch that show and cheer her on. Sounds like Jorja Fox is doing just fine after CSI (good for her). Congrats to Angie and Tegan and Sara! Whew…what a week! Great scoops, as usual!

The reason I included the news of Kristanna Loken's engagement is because women who are bisexual don't stop being bisexual simply because they're in a relationship with a man. Having relationships with men is part of being bisexual. That's why I also included news of Angelina Jolie's award.

Please don't forget that AfterEllen.com is a bisexual-inclusive space and let's refrain from bi-bashing.

I so called it about Satsu being in love with Buffy. My subtext radar is infallible!

I also assumed about 13 on House, but I never said it out loud for fear people would tell me I was just seeing what I wanted to see, which granted, is the case 90% of the time...but still, I am allowed to revel in this rare victory.

Now that I have sufficiently patted my own back, I'm out of here.

YAY Tegan and Sara!!! YAY Canada!

The big gay l word promo was pretty funny. Kate as alice...what more can i say.

Let's hope Paris's l word guest spot is limited to 3 minutes in one episode so we don't have to see her again.

Let the writers strike end so hopefully 13 gets a love-life and we see the return of cutthroat-bitch.

*swoon*

*bows to Melinda*arigatou gozaimashita!

For the picture of Beals in Japan.  Can she ever take an ugly photo?

If these rumors are true about Paris, I'm sure the cast is just thriled with excitement to work with such an oustanding actress! A true thespian..or lesbian..er or mexican..I don't know.  I'm not going to lie, I'm going to watch it anyway

(and for the haters)Congrats to Lokken! Even though I'm kinda sad she's off the market now.

The L Word promo was a riot. I agree with what Aidan P said here too. Nice shot of Jodie as Tippi, although I can't imagine JF running from birds, unless the cockney slang meaning of that word is meant.

Is she still Robin Wright Penn now that they're getting divorced? I would've thought she would've dropped the Penn...stat.

I love Marlee in everything she's in...except TLW. Go figure. I don't watch DWTS, but it should be fascinating to see her dance and find the rhythm of the music. Might tune in a few times just for that.

Casting ideas anyone?, please share them with us:

I loath Paris more than anything, but I'd trade another series of the L Word for a *guest role*, any more than that and I may cry.

Also, the couple from Aus on SYTYCD are legit. I know one of them.

That had to be the most beautiful picture of Jennifer Beals I've ever seen. She looks good in deep purple.

I'm fucking Dawn Denbo!

OMG, I almost cried in excitement with the Arrested Development possible movie thing... That was my favorite show!!

Great BLWE!!
