Exclusive: AS-P Casts a VIP on Jezebel James

The cast of Amy Sherman-Palladino's new series just keeps getting better: The Ausiello Report has learned exclusively that The Return of Jezebel James has landed two-time Oscar winner Dianne Wiest to play Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose's mom in several episodes.

Don't speak! There's no need.

Mom, whose name is Talia, is described as sweet but not in a the-mom-from-Edward Scissorhands kind of way — there's a little aggression mixed with her passivity. So you can imagine how she'll react when finally her daughters join forces to give her the grandbaby she and her husband (played by Ron McLarty, who appears in the pilot) so desperately want.

Nice "get," huh?

Aside from that unfortunate stint on Law & Order, Wiest has always been a scene-stealer, and the idea of her going two-on-one with Posey (aka the next best thing to Lauren Graham) and Ambrose (the Six Feet Under live wire) is almost too good to be true. No, don't speak! I imagine you're speechless, anyway. On second thought, do speak. Thoughts? Cheers? Gratitude for the scoop? — Additional reporting by Ben Katner

The LL SL, and also more with Emily and Lorelai, should have been wrapped up by 7.20/7.21. If it did, the finale could have truly focused on the girls in a way we all could have been happy about without being bitter about other relationships.

Blah...agreed. I really hate to be negative but in all honesty, the season sucked. Big time.

Well even the Chris fans got screwed over (like they didn't see that coming) with the quickie wedding, which they didn't see. Then the marriage ending and Chris vanishing the following week, only to pop up in a cameo at season end.

Luke and Lorelai kiss but do we really know what happened next, we only have fic and a possible TV movie some time in the future to see what happened.

It started with Amy and then David continued screwing the show for 22 more eps!

Gjoni, thanks for the Jezebel info. I love how MA has to put an LG mention in everything relating to that show.

I don't think any shipping group ending the season too happy with how their couple was left. Not even the fans of the non-romantic relationships were treated any better, since those were all pushed aside for the romantic SLs.

At lease Lane, Zach and the babies are okay
