Post Grad co-star Zach Gilford recently sang her praises in an interview. During the interview, Zach was asked how it was to work with Alexis Bledel. He replies: “She’s so cool and normal and down to earth. I was so fortunate. We’ve remained pretty good friends. My family, they’re all huge Gilmore Girls fans, so they were freaking out when they found out I was working with her. And I had never even seen an episode. And I was like, “She’s cool, she’s normal.” She’s like the sweetest, nicest person ever.” Zach continues, saying that many actors who have been on a show for so long could end up with an inflated ego. However, Zach says that Alexis “keeps her head about her”, avoiding the club scene and keeping her work life and her life separate in a “professional way.” Zach says he really respects that about Alexis. Zach and Alexis co-star in Post Grad, which will be released on August 21, 2009. Thanks to Gilmore Girls News for this find!

I just returned from the hospital and feelin’ a bit better by now. Thanks for your concern!
Back to Alexis: In an era when young Hollywood has gone wild, the Sisterhood remains mild. Perhaps Britney and Lindsay should share a pair of worn pants. Such a garment seems to have had a great effect on young and rising actresses Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera, Blake Lively and Alexis Bledel. Lively, long blond hair flowing, ponders her lack of trouble in the tabloids. “I grew up with the mind-set that after work you go to dinner and watch a movie,” Lively says. “I don’t want to go to a club and not wear panties.” Co-star Ferrera pipes in, “I don’t know who in this group has the time to get in trouble, because I sure don’t. I have dogs to walk and songs to load into my iPod. That’s my exciting life.” Bledel and Tamblyn are equally good girls who have not even merited an Enquirer cover. “I have a general disinterest in that life. It’s not interesting to me,” says the cerebral Tamblyn. “I’m a pretty low-key person.” Read the rest of this entry »

Former Girlmore Girls actress Alexis Bledel constantly surprises people with her bi-lingual upbringing but insists the skill often comes in handy. With a Mexican mother and Argentinean dad, the I’m Reed Fish star grew up speaking fluent Spanish, but her light complexion and Hollywood success has made it easy for others to forget. She explains, “Spanish is my first language and I learned English in school. “Most people don’t realise that I speak Spanish because I look very…white. It’s like a secret. “When I was a kid I went to get a hair cut and the ladies were speaking behind me in Spanish. “The lady cutting my hair said, ‘Oh, I just took a big chunk out of her hair and the other lady said, ‘Just tuck it in there, she’ll never notice.’ “I was seven-years-old and my eyes were bugging out of my head. So she didn’t get a tip.”

Three years after their first flick, the stars bring more fame and experience to their coming-of-age story.
Las Vegas — If you’re a typical teenage girl, you’re eager to hang out with the Sisterhood again. If you’re the typical boyfriend of a typical teenage girl, forced to watch every installment of the chick-flick series, you probably want the Sisters to take a long jump off a steep cliff.
On August 8, you’ll both get your wish.
“I don’t want to give anything away, but there’s a scene that the four of us girls created on our own,” “Ugly Betty” star America Ferrera told us recently at the ShoWest convention for movie-theater owners, giving us some advance details on this summer’s “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.” “We all went to Greece together to film a portion of the film, and we were walking by a cliff, and we saw all these people jumping off that cliff and were like, ‘What are they doing?’ ”
“I was just mulling about, and then [the actresses] all came up to me and said, ‘OK, this is what we want to do: We want to jump off cliffs, because we saw these people do it yesterday,” laughed music-video director Sanaa Hamri (Prince’s “Musicology”), who, besides helming the flick, often found herself turning into the group mother. “In my head I’m going, ‘Oh my God, I don’t want to lose any of them! They have to be safe!’ ”
“It was so much fun,” grinned “Gilmore Girls” star Alexis Bledel, remembering the plunge she shared with Ferrera, “Gossip Girl” star Blake Lively and “Joan of Arcadia” actress Amber Tamblyn on the gorgeous island of Santorini. “It’s really high, actually, and it was a little bit scary. But we thought it would be a nice way to end the movie.” Read the rest of this entry »
