Tense moments at 'Gilmore Girls'
When it comes to tension and gritted teeth at this summer press tour, you could hardly do better than the panel discussion of "The Gilmore Girls," which is returning this fall on the CW.
The series' creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, left the series under less than perfect circumstances, handing the series over to executive producer David S. Rosenthal. He appeared Monday along with stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel.
Graham at times appeared awkward as she attempted diplomatic replies to questions about some of her character's out-of-character actions during the last season. (Fans had complained that Graham's normally courageous Lorelai had behaved atypically when she let her boyfriend Luke mistreat her.) She also seemed uncomfortable when asked about her earlier statements about wanting to leave the series.
But the high — or rather low — point came when one scribe asked Rosenthal about his reported "obsession" with supermodel Heidi Klum. A New York Observer piece in 2001 reported that Rosenthal the previous year had left his wife, become estranged from his colleagues and written a play that indicated his fixation on Klum. The reporter asked Rosenthal if he was really the appropriate person to run the lighthearted, family-oriented "Gilmore Girls."
"My personal life is not an issue here," Rosenthal replied with a shaken voice. "I'm here to talk about 'The Gilmore Girls.' "
When the reporter pressed, Graham snapped, "That has nothing to do with anything. Next."
