Last I heard, Rina Mimoun is running PRIVILEGED and she has Everwood, Pushing Daisies, and Gilmore on her resume, among other things. I was at an event hosted by the Paley Center and TV Guide back in September where she spoke on a panel about PRIVILEGED. She (along with other creative team members and some of the actors) really came across as polished and passionate about their show and its message to young women. Hoping it pans out and remains at the CW. Its good.

I used to work at The WB covering Gilmore Girls - which showrunner do you mean for Privileged? Not Amy? Brina, hope you're back on your feet very soon! :) Great stuff!

I've been pretty sick for awhile and am slowly (but surely) recovering. Can't wait to hear what you thought of Nick and Norah -- which, since I've been sick, I still haven't gotten to see. And thanks for reminding everyone to get out there and vote tomorrow. My own awesome election eve story? On the way back from the doctor's office this evening, a most auspicious celebrity sighting: Paul Begala in the flesh. His ties are as nice in person as they are on CNN. And when it comes to pundits, only James Carville would be more saliva-inducing. (Why, I cannot say.) I'll be back soon, with lots of reviews to come: <i>Chains</i> by Laurie Halse Anderson, one of the most excellent books I've read this year. A bunch of interviews I've had on the back burner. And, coming quite soon, my choice for best YA book of '08. Give me another week or so to recuperate, and hopefully I'll be up and around before you know it. Much love! brina Thank you so so so much, Jami, for picking up the slack.

OBAMA WAS ON THERE?! WHAT? Why does no one tell me these things? And it's so good to see YA New York alive! Yaaay. Wait, Ryan Seacrest’s show as in KIIS FM in the morning? OBAMA WAS ON THERE?! WHAT?
