Saturday Night Live’ Premieres September 25 With SNL Alum Amy Poehler & Chart-Topping Musical Guest Katy Perry

Yes, Amy Poehler hosts the season premiere! I’m hoping to make it to a SNL taping this year too, which would be my first, fingers crossed.

MacGruber on DVD

MacGruber is on DVD this week! So go out and spend your paycheck on it, because it’s the only film with Will Forte you will ever need.

I found a May interview with Kristen on AintItCool.com.  It has some nice little dirt on what SNL characters she likes to play, her process of creating, etc.

All Good Things Sets the Date

December 17, 2010 is the release date for All Good Things!

The Playlist blog scanned an image from the new Entertainment Weekly film issue which features a first look at Bridesmaids. You can see it below.

More DVD dates

There’s going to be a LOT of Kristen footage hitting stores..

Date Night, featuring Kristen in a small (very small) role is out on DVD and Blu-Ray now.

How to Train Your Dragon is available on DVD and Blu-Ray October 25.

MacGruber is out September 7.

A Very Gilly Christmas is out October 12! This is the special Kristen hosted as “Gilly” and features holiday clips from several seasons of  SNL, plus two new Gilly clips. Special guests include Justin Timberlake, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Laurie, James Franco, Drew Barrymore, Steve Martin, Rosario Dawson, Zac Efron and Robert De Niro.

Too many days between updates. I swear I’m getting this on track. My life is all crazy train right now.

Let’s start with the big news: Kristen has been nominated for an Emmy for the 2nd time!  I decided to make a little image on the front page to show my congratulations!  She’s up for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series up against Jane Lynch, Jane Krakowski, Julie Bowen, Holland Taylor, and Sofia Vergara!

Despicable Me

Despicable Me opens tomorrow nationwide. It’s getting a LOT of press and good reviews, so I can’t wait to see it. Kristen voices Miss Hattie, a Miss Hannigan-like character who forces orphans into selling cookies.

Here’s two interviews from TrailerAddict.com below.  One with Kristen about the film and one at the premiere.

Bored Again?

Kristen will reprise her role on Bored to Death, the HBO comedy series.  She previously played a client and will be guest starring opposite Kevin Bacon!  No date on that yet, but I got the information from an issue of Entertainment Weekly.

All Good Things

KikiClips.com has a trailer for the Kirsten Dunst film All Good Things, in which Kristen stars.  I can’t find her in the trailer, but you can check it out at KikiClips.com.

MacGruber on DVD

According to Videoeta.com, MacGruber will be out September 7th on DVD.

Gallery Updates

I’m uploading some recent event photos to the gallery.  Right now, you’ll find Despicable Me premiere photos at the link below!  I think this photo is really cute but..Kristen looks really really thin.

Gallery Updates: Despicable Me premiere

I’m BACK and posting. I know you don’t want to miss a single update for Kristen Wiig Fan, so why not subscribe to my email list?  You’ll receive updates whenever I post.

So what did you think of the Betty White episode? I’m a little tired of the Eunice character. I don’t want to see her again.  It’s was definitely a one-shot, but it’s been played out enough.   I like Kristen’s more subtle and clever characters.. and also the A-Holes. When we will see them again? It’s been ages.

Thanks to Ajays for sending me some new info.

Kristen has optioned the novel Clown Girl.  I think this is awesome. It shows she’s really cerebral and dedicated to entertainment.  Any star can option a bestseller and snag the starring role, but it takes an artist to tackle a less mainstream book, and be so dedicated to it she’s willing to use her own money.  (Article at EW.com)

She’s also singing. Now we’ve heard her sing before (Live duet during Walk Hard, with Amy Adams on SNL, etc) but she’s on a CD. Three times!    Her character, Vicki St. Elmo, is a singer, and thus, it’s only natural Kristen shows off her pipes.  You can download the song at Stereogum. Listen now!

Seems it’s available from Amazon on download already.  You can stream “Rock My Body” and “Champion” and “A Perfect Number.”  I kind of love the latter, in all its 80′s rain-streaming-on-the-windows big hair video hair evoking glory.

CD listing:

Honestly, I think MacGruber is going to be the best SNL film since Wayne’s World. It looks like pure fun.

Finally, we’ve got more Bridesmaids news. Jon Hamm, Dianne Wiest and Matt Lucas have joined the cast.  The Stagemomma blog I linked to before has an update on her daughter trying out for a role as Kristen’s younger self.

All of this Kristen news is great. I can’t believe she’s finally in movies as a STAR. About damn time.

But wait, there’s more MacGruber news. MakingOf.com let me know they have 5 new clips from the film featuring Kristen and the cast shooting the movie. You’ll find them linked below.

First off, have you seen the official site, www.macgruberfilm.com? It even has an iphone app with ringtones, etc. You can watch the longer trailer and restricted content. Plus there’s AIM icons, wallpaper etc of Kristen as Vicky. And perhaps most useful of all, the mullet maker.

There’s this IFC interview with Jorma, Will, Ryan, and Kristen.

Also there’s an interview with Kristen and Will at Moviefone. You can watch it here.

Reelzchannel has video of the premiere.

I can’t get these to embed, sorry for the direct links!

How to Train Your Dragon

It’s just a small update, but I added a photo of Kristen recording for the movie, plus a character still. There’s an album for the film now: How to Train Your Dragon

MacGruber news

Yes. You’ve been salivating for these I’m sure. It’s….MACGRUBER news! First, images! From NewsinFilm.com come two images of Kristen as Vicky.

The film’s synopsis:

Only one American hero has earned the rank of Green Beret, Navy SEAL and Army Ranger. Just one operative has been awarded 16 purple hearts, 3 Congressional Medals of Honor and 7 presidential medals of bravery. And only one guy is man enough to still sport a mullet. In 2010, Will Forte brings Saturday Night Live’s clueless soldier of fortune to the big screen in the action comedy MacGruber.

In the 10 years since his fiancée was killed, special op MacGruber has sworn off a life of fighting crime with his bare hands. But when he learns that his country needs him to find a nuclear warhead that’s been stolen by his sworn enemy, Dieter Von Cunth (Val Kilmer), MacGruber figures he’s the only one tough enough for the job.

Assembling an elite team of experts–Lt. Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillippe) and Vicki St. Elmo (Kristen Wiig)–MacGruber will navigate an army of assassins to hunt down Cunth and bring him to justice. His methods may be unorthodox. His crime scenes may get messy. But if you want the world saved right, you call in MacGruber.

An review of a pre-screening looks promising!
