Milo Ventimiglia was already a heartthrob on Gilmore Girls. The role of Jess began the legacy of heartthrobs like Peter Petrelli and Jack Pearson. One of Jess’s Gilmore Girls love interests was Shane (Jessica Kiper). Kiper recalls Ventimiglia bringing her to a church when they were filming.

Kiper was a guest on Scott Patterson’s I Am All In podcast on April 15 to discuss her role on Gilmore Girls. Patterson asked for “Milo stories” and she obliged. Boy howdy, did she oblige!

On Gilmore Girls, Jess and Shane make out at the Stars Hollow End of Summer Madness festival. In real life, Ventimiglia was more reserved.
“One day on set, and I don’t think it was my first day, it could’ve been, it’s all a blur,” Kiper said on I Am All In.

She's an actress and pin-up model. He's a photographer. So it seemed natural for two-time Survivor contestant Jessica "Sugar" Kiper to tie the knot with her new husband, Nicholas Critelli. The couple said "I do" on Valentine's Day in a small outdoor ceremony. The reception was held in a '50s diner. "It's unique," Kiper tells People. "But I wanted to do something different. I'm wearing a red dress because that's good luck." For Kiper, 36, love came unexpectedly in late 2014. "We actually met online," Kiper tells People, "but after we started dating, we did a photo shoot together." The couple got engaged over the holidays.

Former "Survivor" runner-up Jessica Kiper was busted for Dwi Saturday in New Orleans ... so she did what any other drunk fame-monger would do -- she snapped a selfie in the cop car. Jessica -- who finished 3rd on Season 17 (and later appeared on "Celebrity Rehab") -- allegedly plowed into the back of another vehicle parked outside of a local high school. Cops say Jessica was clearly hammered, so she was arrested and taken to the...

On Sunday night we got a chance to meet some of the “Celebrity Rehab 5” cast (we can guess Dwight Gooden and “Survivor” survivor Jessica Kiper were too loaded/nervous to show up on time). After four seasons, it’s not surprising that the show and its revolving cast of addicts are starting to feel a little familiar. Whether that’s just the reality of rehab, addiction or reality Amy Fisher First up, we meet the Long Island Lolita, who now looks a bit more like the Long Island Cougar, but that isn’t as catchy. It seems that every season we get...

Kendra CastleberryDonna Rosenstein Casting, Los Angeles; 'Castle,' 'Happy Town,' 'October Road'Reality shows have created a new wave of celebrities, but in my opinion these people are not actors. They have not studied their craft or pounded the pavement networking or gone on countless auditions with hopes of booking just one. While being on a reality show can without question give you your five minutes of fame, it will be fleeting. TV networks and movie studios may make you offers to appear in their projects while you're in demand, but as soon as the public finds its next obsession, you will be forgotten.If you are looking to build a career in acting, a reality show will not get you there. Reality stars must continually prove that they can be more than just themselves and really inhabit a role. Actors already know they can do that.Jodi CollinsJodi Collins Casting and Productions,...

There are few plays as kinetically freakish as Rocky Horror Show. Even the movie has inspired a cult of bread-chucking, squirt-gun-firing transvestites to pack art houses for midnight fits of acting out the film as it runs onscreen. It has to be busy, sexy, crazy, weird and cheesy, just like the 50’s Americana that it lampoons with a lyrical gumbo of Science Fiction and kinky sex. The new theater production of Rocky Horror Show, running from June 3 to July 10 at the Los Angeles Underground Theater on Wilton under the direction of Allison Austin, mainlines these themes right into the audience’s eyes and eardrums...

"I will win because people like me," Jessica "Sugar" Kiper told me in Samoa right before starting Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains. She's right about people liking her…kinda. Sugar is an interesting type of Survivor contestant. Interesting in that she falls under the category of people that are very, very popular with the viewing audience, but less so with the actual contestants. There was a sizable Gabon contingent that really couldn’t stand her, and talking with the Heroes Vs. Villains cast before the game (which premieres Feb 11 on CBS), there were several people who did not seem to...

Proving the unfortunate cold truth, that hotness doesn't necessarily make you the ultimate survivor, Jessica Kiper the 29 year-old pin-up model from Brooklyn, NY was not named the winner of "Survivor: Gabon," the 17th installment of the show. She may not have won "Survivor," but Kiper aka "Sugar" definitely deserves a reward of some sort from CBS--for making millions of men everywhere care that "Survivor" was even still on the air.Instead of Sugar, the top prize went to Robert Crowley (57), a high-school physics teacher from Maine. On the show's finale, along with Kiper, Crowley beat out Susie Smith (47), an Iowa hairdresser, and ...
