Okay, so I stole an old Brady Bunch joke involving Davy Jones and To
Tell The Truth in an attempt to be clever (did it work?), but here's
some news straight from Kristin's new column at:
http://aol.eonline.com/Gossip/Kristin/Archive2006/060303c.html
SPOILER SPACE AHOY-ISH!
A Gilmore's Best Friend: He has sold more than 51 million records, and
he wrote Frank Sinatra's "My Way" and the Tonight Show's theme song.
So, is it wrong that when I hear the name Paul Anka, I immediately
think of Lorelai Gilmore's dog?
Apparently, I'm not the only one. "I got a lot of calls when I was on
tour," Mr. Anka says on the set of Gilmore Girls. "Everywhere I'd
[go], the younger demographic [would yell], 'How's the dog?!' so every
week I would kinda peek in and check out [the show]. It's cool." So
cool Anka (the human one) couldn't resist working with his canine
counterpart on an upcoming episode of Gilmore Girls. "I have a dream
that Paul Anka and Paul Anka meet," explains Lauren Graham. "It's very
surreal," Especially when he sits on Babette's (Sally Struthers') lap.
Lauren insists there's no underlying meaning to Lorelai's dream. It's
just an excuse to get her idol into a scene, and she defends her
mutt's moniker. "Lorelai loves Paul Anka. Like, why is Jennifer
Garner's dog named Martha Stewart? It's your opportunity to pay homage
to people you're a fan of."
Thankfully, Paul Anka's first encounter with the canine Paul Anka went
well. "I met little Sparky today. It was a very warm moment. He
started to lift his leg, and the drama was deep, but I just kinda went
with it."

[Rob here: "Lauren insists there's no underlying meaning to Lorelai's
dream." Uh, yeah, right. *Every* time there's a dream sequence or
flashback, it's important. And this one probably bookends the earlier
Madeline Albright dream in meaning ala Lor and Luke's bookend dreams
in s3. The canine Paul Anka *is* Lorelai's Rory-methadone, after all.

LORELAI: In the movie, only boy hobbits travel to Mount
Doom, but that's only because the girls went to do something
even more dangerous.
GIRL: What?
LORELAI: Have you ever heard of a Brazilian Bikini Wax?
