As you may know, Kristen and Bridesmaids are nominated!

Tune in on NBC at 8:00 PM to see who wins!  Or come back here after it airs!

How did you think Daniel did on SNL that night? That was a very Kristen-heavy show!

Also, a reminder. You won’t see anything about Kristen’s private life here. Yes, she may have been in the gossip columns but it’s not place to discuss it.

It’s here!

March 9, 2012

Plus the New York Times Arts and Leisure Weekend livestream is here.  Plus there’s pictures of fans asking questions and the questions themselves.

Watch now

People’s Choice Awards

BRIDESMAIDS won!  Congrats!

The most important update:  I have made it so you don’t have to visit the site via kristenwiigfan.com/news!  

Paper Magazine

Kristen appears on the cover of and inside of Paper magazine’s Winter issue. There’s scans floating around tumblr, I don’t believe in putting scans/articles up until after the magazine has left newsstands.

Golden Globes 

Kristen was nominated for a Golden Globe!  They snubbed Melissa McCarthy, but wait to go Kristen!

Huffington Post 

Huffington Post named Kristen one of their 25 funniest people in 2011. Other people on the list include Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, and Amy Poehler.

Tumblr

You can follow us on tumblr now. I say us like this website is a person, and if it was, I imagine it’d be a chain smoker with a very booked social calendar.  http://kristenwiigfan.tumblr.com  - we will be hitting “reblog” like a madwoman.

Kristen at New York Times Arts and Leisure Weekend

The tickets for the event are sold out, but you can watch Kristen and Paul Feig live on the Arts and Leaisure livestream January 8. If anybody attends this the event in person, I’d love a report of how it was.

Portlandia Appearance

Kristen will appear on the second season of Fred Armisen’s sketch comedy show “Portlandia” on IFC.  She will appear on episode 6. There’s even a short film about the show and the second season. She appears briefly. If you haven’t seen this show do watch it. Kristen will appear in a sketch as a superfan of a band.

I’ve decided to close the site.

• SOPA.  The Stop Online Privacy Act.  This is a serious bill up for consideration now.  It can affect anyone with a fansite, anyone who posts copyrighted content, from sports blogs to celeb sites. Everything media-related on a fansite is copyright.   Fansites will go down with complaints if it passes.
• Kristen is a very private person. I don’t really feel right having a website for an actress that is so private.
• I have no time.
• I can’t get staff to help.
• I could be doing way more things.

It’s been fun! Thanks.

Maybe not. I just checked my email and I have two offers for staff!  I will be contacting those people shortly!!!

I was surprised to see Kristen as “Bro the Year” in GQ but it happened. It’s an article about Kristen by Jon Hamm.

Excerpt:

The first time I noticed her was watching the SNLsketch “Lady Business.” Kristen’s line was “I’m a bitch in the boardroom, a bore in the bedroom, and I’m a bear on the toilet,” which she delivered with over-the-top seriousness. I thought, “My God, this girl is funny.

Read the article here at GQ.com

Also the cast of Bridesmaids have been named one of Entertainment Weekly’s “Entertainers of the Year.”  There’s a photoshoot, brief article.

I am having trouble with getting the right look for the website, so I will stick with the old one!  For now.

I would really love some staff. Do you want to post all about Kristen?!  If so please email me at kristenwiigfan @ gmail dot com.  It’s an unpaid position – it’s a fansite, there is no profit – and you can do it as little or often as you like.

Bridesmaids is up for pre-order now! You can find it on Amazon for around $27.99 right now for the blu-ray/dvd combo. No details on the features, but you can bet there’s deleted scenes.  There were a few scenes in the trailer that didn’t make it into the movie, it seems.

There’s a good interview with Kristen on Contact Music, read it here and yet another with her by Time Out Chicago.

Kristen was in the May 2011 issue of Harper’s Baazar.  View it at  Just Jared

Oh and here she is in The New York Times magazine. It’s an awesome interview.

Please vote for Kristen as Peta’s sexiest vegetarian!  Vote now!

Interview with The Guardian:

I didn’t get a chance to submit a question, damn.

Kristen does a joint interview with Jason Sudeikis in Newsweek this week.  You can read the article in the magazine and also online. There’s a small picture of each of them.

Read it now at Newsweek.com.

On the runaway success of Bridesmaids … Wiig: When we were writing it, [Annie Mumolo and I] weren’t like, “Oh, yeah! Now it’s the ladies’ turn!” It’s 2011; I don’t even know why it’s an issue. There are so many funny women in the world, and there has been for so many years, so I’ll be happy when people can just move on from that, and things can just be “comedies” and not “female” or “male,” and everyone gets an equal opportunity.

There’s a clip on Funny or Die of Bridesmaids footage.

It’s alternate lines from the movie, a whole bunch of them. Thanks to Allen for sharing this with me.

It won’t embed so here’s a link

Kristen has been making the rounds at various places for Bridesmaids and I’ve gathered some links below.
