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.

There’s a DVD I completely missed. It’s the Best of 2009-2010 release.  It features the Betty White episode. I haven’t gotten it yet but I’m going to soon.   I would like to make a page listing all of Kristen’s work on various DVDs.

Kristen on Bored to Death

She reprises her role this weekend, Sunday night on HBO.      ….EW

All Good Things trailer

We finally see a trailer!  Kristen’s in it near the end.

First up, the board is back up. I will be taking precautions to ensure a I don’t have the same problem as last time.

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.

(more…)

The hacking sucked, but I’ve moved on. First, I have a new splash page. The image was designed by VivandLarry.com, which is a beautiful website devoted to Vivian Leigh and Lawrence Olivier. If you’re a classic Hollywood fan, I’d definitely check it out. I was getting very tired of the ugly white page, so I had to change it.

Thanks New Media for the promo!

Also, how awesome is that banner for MacGruber with Kristen on it at the top of the site?

I’ve got a host of MacGruber related things..

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

Bridesmaids?

The newest Muppet movie has gotten a director, and with that announcement comes the news the same director (James Bobin, cocreator of Flight of the Conchords) is being considered for the Judd Apatow-produced Bridesmaids, Kristen’s project, formerly known as “Untitled Kristen Wiig Project.” According to Screenrant.com, the movie is about “two bridesmaids competing to plan a friend’s wedding party.”

A Very Gilly Christmas

I added the first video of the Gilly Xmas special.  Did you know that according to Nielsen ratings, that episode was in the top 20? One can’t help but give a little credit to Kristen!

Special Ops Media sent me some really nice stills of Kristen in MacGruber along with some more info about the film. I added them to the gallery

View them now!

Here’s the green band trailer for MacGruber.

There’s a red band trailer out for MacGruber the movie. It looks like Kristen and Will had a lot of fun filming it! There’s some language in it and you have to let them know your age, but it’s great quality. I’ll replace it with a non age-limited version soon.

Kristen’s hair certainly looks better here than in that awful wig!
