Kristen in Interview magazine (Steven Pan for Interview Magazine)

A huge congrats to Ms. Wiig for her work on and in Bridesmaids.  The film cost around 30 million to make and grossed OVER 26 million its first week.  She’s going to be a very big star very soon.  If you’re a fan who went out to support her, I’m sure she appreciates it.

Kristen appears in May issue of Interview. Dave Grohl of The Foo Fighters interviews her. You can read the whole interview below.

Interview with Kristen Wiig

Also some excerpts from Bridesmaids reviews:

“The warring impulses within Wiig set a wonderfully skittish tone for the painfully hilarious new movie Bridesmaids, a screwy tale of female friendship and wedding planning from hell.”

“Judd Apatow is one of its producers, but let’s be quick to steer most of the credit away from him — and even director Paul Feig — and place it where it clearly belongs: at the feet of Kristen Wiig.”

“Kristen Wiig is a comic genius. Her performance as Annie, a thirtysomething woman whose life is in a tailspin, is ridiculously funny. We’re talking virtuoso stuff here.”"

“Features Kristen Wiig in a true tour de force that should elevate her to elite status among comediennes.”

“Wiig has terrific audience rapport, a prerequisite for comics, and a squiggly way of seeming totally reasonable and altogether daft at the same time.”

Also, did you they CUT a Two A-Holes sketch from Tina Fey’s episode a week ago?  Awful.

10 Nov

Paul

It took forever but Paul updates have finally hit the internet.   Still a long wait to the March 2011 release, but here’s some media to tide you over.

And Empire Magazine has a new still with Kristen and the gang. View here!

Songs About Kristen

How do you know you’ve made it?  I guess it’s when people write songs about you? Maybe? Of course Taylor Swift writes about everyone she meets.. Well, anyhow, on itunes there are two songs written about Kristen.  Seriously.  That’s all I have to say.  Only one really mentions Kristen though, and it’s linked below.

Pappa Razir and the Photogs -  “Kristen Wiig, You are So Funny and Beautiful.”

Housekeeping

Ugh. I hate that splash image, I’m working on something new!  And maybe a new layout.  Getting sick of this one yet?

Is SNL still Funny Article, Women of SNL

3 Nov

A writer from North Carolina State University’s newspaper interviewed me for a piece she wrote on SNL.   You can find the link below. I’m surprised how many things I said made it in it.

Is Saturday Night Live still funny?

As for my opinion on characters, I only mentioned Gilly and “the male host on Maternity Matters” as recurring characters I disliked. Because they’re so one note, and never deviate from the formula.  Yes, there really is a Kristen character I dislike. Actually, there’s several.

I must also note that Tina Fey is no longer the head writer on SNL. It’s Seth Meyers now.

Real Women of SNL

A strong parody of the “Housewives” shows appeared on the SNL Women special, starring several SNL women.

1 Nov

Don’t forget this airs tonight!  I’ve heard there’s some new segments filmed just for the show, including a take on the “Housewives” shows.

Also, this past weekend marked 3 yrs of KristenWiigfan.com.  Thanks for visiting!
