Gilmore Girls Season/Series Finale Lands CNN’s Amanpour

Michael Ausiello reports that show-runner Dave Rosenthal has landed CNN’s Christiane Amanpour for a cameo in the show’s May 8 season (and likely series) finale. Amanpour’s scene is still being written, so all that’s known at this point is that she will be playing herself. It was established early in the first season that young Rory Gilmore’s role model was CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour, and Rory will now meet Amanpour in the May 8 wrap-up. As far as it being the series final, Ausiello says that talks to bring the show back for an eighth season have stalled, and, according to several sources, there’s little hope for a turnaround.
