After the screening of the “Itty Bitty Titty Committee”, which was pretty good and funny, I went to an After-party at “Club Eleven” where more celebrities had showed up. I went upstairs and soon was socializing and mingling with Suzanne Westenhoffer (comedienne), Michelle Wolff (from Dante’s Cove and “Mango Kiss”), Anne Ramsey (Robin from seasons one and two of The L Word), Jane Lynch, Daniela Sea, Jamie Babbit and later I even spotted the presence of Natasha Lyonne, who played the main character in Jamie Babbit’s movie, “But I’m a Cheerleader.”

It was a great gathering and I met a few new friends and was having a great time. When I saw that Jane Lynch was available to talk, I decided to use that opportunity to ask her some questions about the show. Since we were in the middle of the party and Jane was there with her partner and was there to relax and have fun, I only bothered her for a few minutes.

B&TF: What can you tell me about season 5 without revealing any spoilers?

JL: In The L Word this season coming up…I’m not gonna name characters but there’re going to be people that you would never expect getting together, and people who you might expect breaking up, and people that you would never expect to break up – breaking up, and people who you’d thought would get together – don’t get together.

B&TF: Any of this includes Bette and Tina?

JL: I’m not gonna talk about that…no comment.

B&TF: How many episodes you’re going to be in?

JL: I believe it’s six…five or six.

B&TF: So, you’re still with Phyllis, right?

JL: We’ll have our ups and downs, let’s put it that way.

B&TF: How was it for you to work with Cybill Shepherd?

JL: She’s a joy…Cybill Shepherd is a joy. I think we make each other better, we really enjoy working together and she’s such a professional and I really feel like our characters are grown and I think our relationship inspired the writers to write a little more about and we love doing it.

B&TF: Who’s your favorite character on the show?

JL: It’s hard to say but I love Leisha Hailey. She’s a really good actress, she’s really brought such a light to that part, I think she’s truly a self-center of the show.

B&TF: In season two your character was helping Tina and tried to seduce her…how was it working with Laurel Holloman?

JL: Again, Laurel Holloman was the first person I worked with on The L Word, and she was wonderful, she’s a real pro, she really shows up and for like the first year I worked with only her…I really love her.

More people arrived that Jane knew and I thanked her for taking her time to talk to me. I went in search of others and saw Daniela Sea arriving with Jamie Babbit and some other “Itty Bitty Titty Committee” cast members.

I asked Daniela if she can tell me anything about season five since I didn’t have time for a full interview, but she replied that she couldn’t reveal anything because it’s in her contract not to talk about an upcoming season. However, she added that it’s going to be great and everyone, including Max/Moira, has a much better storylines.

I guess we have to see when January arrives, won’t we? The fifth season of The L Word is coming to Showtime on January 6, 2008.
