So Jill Bennett is back!!! With a new v-log titled “The Violet Underground” where she talks about anything and everything. There will be new episodes every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday! I just saw the first episode and it looks like it’s going to be much more political than We’re Getting Nowhere. It’s really funny and there is a new episode tomorrow. Watch the first episode here and stay tuned for more. It is hosted by Shewired.com. I think Jill needs to work on her lighting a little with the various angles. That made me laugh. Anyway, I am so glad she is back on the web, I’m sure I’m not the only one who missed her after We’re Getting Nowhere finished.
Last night I was watching Charlie Bartlett with my friends and one of them said that they were going to marry the actor, Anton Yelchin. She went on to say that if I was going to be invited, I had to wear a bikini, because I would not be caught dead in a bikini. My response was that she would not be invited to my future wedding if she were to do that to me. What did my friends say?
“You’re going to get married?”
I wonder why they assumed that I would never marry. That seemed rather odd to me. Long story short, it got me thinking about which celebrity I would marry. I came to the conclusion that despite my large obsession with actress and AfterEllen vlogger (only for one more week!) Jill Bennett, she would not be my choice. No, Jill would be a very close second to Tina Fey.
Why Tina Fey? Did you see Mean Girls or Baby Mama? Did you see her on SNL? 30 Rock? If you have, my choice should be pretty self-explanatory but for those who haven’t…
Tina Fey is hilarious. And not just stupid hilarious, but smart, witty humour as well. She wrote (and not to mention starred in) Mean Girls which was an amazing script with well-rounded characters and lots of twists and turns. She writes and stars in 30 Rock, her show on NBC. A show that is so funny and doesn’t ruin it with a laugh track. She wrote and acted for Saturday Night Live for a long time. So she is definitely, really really funny. She is also incredibly smart. If you watch or read interviews with Tina you can tell just how smart she really is. She is intelligent, very down-to-earth, and knows a lot about what’s going on. Also, Tina is just so liberal. She is accepting of everyone and it shows in her writing (see: lesbian subtext in Mean Girls and 30 Rock). I think that the LGBT community (or at least the L) needs to give her some kind of award. Her support for our community is just amazing.
And not to mention those super-hot glasses of hers.
So my celebrity spouse is my screenwriting/improv idol, who’s yours? Besides, who can resist Liz Lemon in those bi-curious shoes?
I was looking around on YouTube and found this AMAZING We’re Getting Nowhere video. It is really good if you have ADD =P it is really fast and has good editing.
OMG AMAZING!!! I heart Jill. and Karman. and Dara. and Bridget. <3
Part two of the best bits of Jill Bennett was posted a while ago by charlie2288 and so I’m going to post them because Jill Bennett is my life…kind of…in a non-stalkerish way…yeah.
So hi there! I am back from France, back home in Canada, woot woot woot. Ok so I’m really really stressed with all this schoolwork and all, but I get to see my friends and go to dragonboating practice and speak English.
Other than that though, so much has happened with AfterEllen since I left. There’s Liz Feldman’s new vlog called This Just Out With Liz Feldman (hilarious), We’re Getting Nowhere is out of things to recap and there is a whole new layout. Cool, huh? Dinah Shore also happened while I was in France and even though I really am too young to do anything there, I REALLY WANTED TO GO!!! Did you go? I want to hear stories! Who saw Jill in the fashion show or at the AE improv?? The AfterEllen Afternoon? The Logo Lounge? 3Way? Julie Goldman’s Celesbian interviews? Suzanne Westenhoefer’s comedy show? The White Party? I need some insight into the dyke drama that definitley had to have happened to someone. No? Next time then.
Next week is the season finale of 3Way!! A Dinah Shore episode. I am looking forward to it, of course that means we all have to wait until next season, that is if they’re planning to do one.
I need to get back to my catch-up homework now, but I’ll try to get back with some France stories later.
Salut!
Also watch this trailer for a hilarious movie that I saw last month:
Ok, I’ve always been a fan of We’re Getting Nowhere from AfterEllen (no kidding, right?) except they’ve never recapped a series that I actually watch. I got caught up on South of Nowhere after they had finished it because I don’t get it where I live (or couldn’t find it, one of the two.) I don’t watch America’s Next Top Model simply on principle and I’d seen the pilot from The L Word and didn’t like it. But now I’m in France. and bored. I therefore watched the next episode of the L Word just to give it another chance. That was two weeks ago and I’m now on season three.
I never expected to like the L Word. My two straight sisters love it and have all the DVDs. I am going to try to catch up on everything before the sixth season starts and watch that as it airs. I just hope its at a time when I’m not at my mothers house, or I might be PVRing everything to watch later. I am hooked!
Also, Dara, Karman and Jill are going to recap season one of the L Word starting Wednesday until the sixth season starts. Finally something I’ve seen before!!!
I saw the new Tim Burton film Sweeney Todd yesterday. I thought it was amazing film and the blood and gore (which I usually don’t like) didn’t bother me much. What really caught my attention was the beautiful and talented Helena Bonham Carter playing Mrs. Lovett. I realized she was Bellatrix in the fifth Harry Potter movie and said Hey! I remember now! then I went home and my father had bought my Fight Club in which she plays Marla Singer. It was quite the Helena past couple of days and I have come to really like her.
In other news, the new online series 3Wayabout a straight woman living with her lesbian roommate and her girlfriend and her ex, launched it’s website. I am excited for this to start because Jill Bennett is in it as Roxie’s girlfriend. In the promotional pictures she looks quite cute. On the site, there are different posters for each character with quotes. It also stars Maeve Quinlan, Cathy Shim and Maile Flanagan. It looks like it will be really funny and worth seeing. The episodes will be posted online and they will be about seven minutes long. There will also be confessionals posted by the characters.
Ok, so this is kind of old news, but JILL BENNETT RETURNED TO WE’RE GETTING NOWHERE.
It completely made my life.
ANYWAY, they had their finale episode and Bridget McManus (that may or may not be spelled correctly) who filled in for Jill will be getting her own vlog Brunch with Bridget. Oh my goodness another vlog to watch.
Also, Jill, along with fellow AfterEllen vloggers Karman Kregloe, Dara Nai, Michelle Paradise, Sarah Warn and Lori (also with Marnie Alton from Exes and Ohs), was in the Best and Worst dating stories vlog where they reenacted the stories sent in by AfterEllen readers. One reader even wins a prize! It is hilarious, and you should watch it here. Amazing.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season, and cannot wait for Cashmere Mafia on January 6th.
In this week’s Best.Lesbian.Week.Ever. on AfterEllen.com, My favourite bloggers made two PSA’s directed at the striking television writers about lesbian visibility on television. I am going to post them here so that they can get as many views as possible. (aka, so that the one person who reads this can see them). The first one is serious and the second one is more comical. Please watch them both. I really hope they get those writers thinking. It would be nice to see some lesbians characters on television that aren’t crazy or looking for sperm donors or dating their look-alikes.
I love how angry Jill looks in that. And the second:
So I thought that that was pretty important, and cool because I actually know who these people are and watch their vlogs. So writers get writing some good lesbian/bisexual storylines. Please!
I just thought I’d post Idina Menzel’s new YouTube video for everyone’s viewing pleasure. It’s about her album “I Stand” and you can see her dog in the background. So cute. Here:
Also, Jill Bennett is not going to be on We’re Getting Nowhere for a while because she is filming something. Which kind of sucks because we don’t get to watch her on We’re Getting Nowhere every week but also doesnt because it means she will be in something else that we can go see. So that will be fun. Anyhoo. That’s it really. Just for fun I’ll post a cute picture of Jill and Jamie just because I love this picture. It’s from Sarah Nebel’s music video Jasmin.
Welcome back Jill!
