December 15: Week in Review

Welcome to your weekly @AM2DM ⏰newsletter, where we’re bringing the timeline to your inbox!

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing us Elizabeth Hurley is a villain. The (very nice!) actor joined us on AM to DM this week, along with "Clemency" star Aldis Hodge, Sharpay Evans herself Ashley Tisdale, Rodrigo Santoro (aka Karl from "Love Actually"), and more!

Scroll on for their full interviews, and don't forget to follow us on Twitter for full shows and clips, and on Instagram for behind-the-scenes stories 💕

ASHLEY TISDALE ON WHAT SHE THINKS HAPPENED TO HER "HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL" CHARACTER SHARPAY

RODRIGO SANTORO TALKED ABOUT THAT "LOVE ACTUALLY" SEQUEL THAT STILL HASN'T HAPPENED

ALEX: We had a great week of covering the latest on impeachment and the wild news cycle, but two of my favorite conversations were all about nostalgia.

This week, the Alanis Morissette musical "Jagged Little Pill" opened and the 1990s fangirl in me was elated to talk about it with Rolling Stone's Jerry Portwood. The album was raw, catchy as hell, and one of the first records I connected with, so I can't wait to see the musical.

I ended the week talking to Jacqueline Toboni who plays Finley on "The L Word: Generation Q." It's been fun watching the original cast come back with some new actors, including Toboni. We nerded out over the original show and chatted about her character.

By the time you read this, I'll be galavanting in New Orleans with my roller derby team. See you bright and early on Wednesday!

ZACH: Another great week for the show — even if I had to miss a few days. But this week was DEFINED for me by my sit-down with the legendary Elizabeth Hurley. I grew up being so enamored with her for a few reasons, which I can lay out:

1.) She was dating Hugh Grant, who I was also obsessed with
2.) she was in "Bedazzled" and I was obsessed with that film, and

3.) she was my go-to lady crush to make people think I wasn't gay.

So, sitting with her had young me screaming. But our sit-down — beyond her interesting comments on superheroes and "The Royals" — actually made me realize something I never thought about: "Bedazzled" is a camp classic, and thus part of the gay canon. You are welcome, America.

🔥 TWEET OF THE WEEK

TWEET OF THE DAY: from @THISDIEGOLOPEZ: ''I just ordered a wheatgrass shot and they gave me a tiny slice of pineapple to chase it with and I've never felt like a bigger little bitch in my life''
