A Gilmore Shocker! Keep Your Fingers Crossed and Start Praying...

Ausiello's column

Question: So, what gives? There is no way you could still be at Fox's
upfront party. Did you track down AS-P, and, if so, what were the final
four words she had in mind for Gilmore Girls?— Katrina

Ausiello: OK, here's the deal: Yes, I tracked her down, but, no, she did
not cough up those elusive four words. But wait — there's more. And it's
good. No, amazing. No, un-frakkin'- believable. Amazing, even. Wait, did I
say that already? Well, it's true. Because just as I was about to brand her
a big ol' promise-breaker right there in front of all those industry types,
Amy explained why she couldn't divulge her long-ago-planned Gilmore ending.
(Gilmore fanatics: This is the time in Sprockets when you either lean on a
heavy object or just sit down.) In the next year or two, she hopes to make
— wait for it — a two-hour Gilmore Girls TV-movie that ties up all those
loose threads! I nearly fell over when she said it — especially given what
she told me back in December. (BTW, lest you think Amy was pulling my leg,
her partner in life and in showbiz, Dan Palladino, confirmed that a GG
reunion pic is something they're interested in pursuing.) And I wasn't the
only one floored by this development. "She said what?" gasped Scott
Patterson after I relayed the information to him over the phone. "I didn't
think she would be interested in doing something like that. But if she says
she is, I would seriously consider it." Alexis Bledel was equally stunned.
"A Gilmore Girls reunion?" she said with a laugh. "That's certainly not
something I had thought of doing. That's really funny, I have no idea how I
would feel in a few years. I don't know, I'm sure the script Amy would
write would be great, but I guess I'd have to read it and see how I felt at
the time." Last but not least, Lauren Graham e-mailed me late last night to
say, "Could be a fun idea if everyone wanted to do it. I would do it just
to get the four final words out of Amy. They torture me." Stand by for a
comment from Warner Bros. big cheese Peter Roth. In the meantime, head over
