Proud hubby and daddy-to-be Alexis Denisof was also in attendance, happily showing off his wife’s beautiful baby bump … check it out:

I’m still over the moon that Aly and Alexis are going to have a baby together … it will be the first child born of two Buffyverse actors … it will truly be the holiest of holys ;)

Tom Lenk Comes Out In ‘The Advocate’ Magazine

'Buffy' alum proudly comes out as a gay man
Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Actor Tom Lenk, who some of y’all may know from his stint as Andrew Wells on both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, has come out of the closet in the new issue of The Advocate magazine. After a failed attempt to come out publicly on the recently canceled FOX series Do Not Disturb, Tom is talking to The Advocate about his coming out. Here are a few pics of Tom in the mag and a report on his coming out from After Elton:


The latest issue of The Advocate features icon Harvey Milk on the cover, but a minor icon of geekdom, Tom Lenk (who played Andrew on Buffy the Vampire Slayer), also makes news by officially coming out in the issue … It probably doesn’t come as that big of a shock to fans of Buffy that Tom is gay, which probably isn’t fair, as no doubt Lenk is capable of playing a wide-range of characters. Nonetheless, Lenk pinged quite a few gaydars including Buffy creator Joss Whedon, who told The Advocate that Andrew hadn’t been planned as gay, but when Lenk auditioned they decided to take the character that way since “Tom has a bit of a fey thing going on in his persona that, you know, you can’t really deny.” … Lenk says his coming out now was supposed to be timed to coincide with his first television same-sex kiss. The Buffy alum had been cast as the boyfriend of Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s character on Fox’s Do Not Disturb. Alas for Lenk, DNR didn’t make it past its second episode before Fox showed mercy on us all and canceled the sitcom. Lenk also discusses his less-than-pleasant childhood growing up in Camarillo, California, a town north of Los Angeles, where he was “constantly tormented”, how theater was his escape, and how, post-Buffy, he learned his own management company was mocking him behind his back for being less than butch. Despite the setbacks, Lenk stays optimistic about his future. And as Whedon says about Lenk, “He’s very, very f**king talented.” Here is hoping Lenk finds the right vehicle to express that talent.

I have actually been very fortunate enough to know Tom for a couple of years now. We met casually just before I moved to LA and got to know each other very well since that time. He is seriously one of the funniest people I know. While I am very proud of him for stepping forward and coming out so publicly in this way, I’m not at all surprised that he decided to make this announcement in this way. It cannot be easy to consider that coming out as a gay person could greatly impact your livelihood but Tom is a resilient man and I am confident that his talent will outshine the simple matter of his sexuality. Folks who have been reading by blog for years may recall that I have talked at length about how much I love Tom’s Buffy character Andrew. I still contend that Andrew and Anya (Emma Caufield) are the absolute funniest characters on BtVS. Much props and respect goes out to Tom Lenk for making this brave step out of the closet. I never thought it would be possible to care for my friend more … I guess I was wrong :)

Joss Whedon’s ‘Dollhouse’ Gets A New Trailer

So much awesomeness
Thursday, November 6th, 2008

It’s been a few months since we’ve been able to see any new footage of Joss Whedon’s new TV series Dollhouse, which stars Eliza Dushku (who previously featured in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel), but today we get to feast our eyes on a new trailer for the upcoming FOX series. You may recall that the first trailer for Dollhouse hit the Internets back in May … but here are a few screencaps from the latest trailer:


After the first trailer was released, reports began to surface that production on the series was halted so that the kinks could get ironed out in order to ensure the success of the series. By the looks of this new trailer, the show does look like it got revamped a little bit. After the jump, check out the trailer in full … (more…)

David Boreanaz Does ‘Draft’ Magazine

Cheers!
Saturday, October 25th, 2008

David Boreanaz, who famously played the vampire Angel on both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel and currently stars in the FOX series Bones, is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of the beer enthusiast magazine Draft. Here is the mag’s coverphoto:


In the magazine’s coverstory, David reveals a love of “cold blondes”, gives his views on lowering the drinking age and talks about his love of football. Now, I didn’t even know that Draft magazine even existed before stumbling upon these pics of David Boreanaz but I can respect that beer fans might want to have a periodical of their very own. I just like the pictures. After the jump, check out a few pics from David’s Draft magazine photospread … (more…)

Bump Watch: Alyson Hannigan

So it begins
Friday, October 24th, 2008

This past Wednesday we awoke to the wonderful news that Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum and current How I Met Your Mother star Alyson Hannigan is pregs with her first child with hubby Alexis Denisof and already the photogs have focused their eye on cutiepie Aly. Here are new pics of soon-to-be mama Hannigan out and about yesterday afternoon with a HUGE smile on her face as she made a beverage run:


At this point, Aly is far from showing any pregs protrusion but I’m sure it won’t be long before she starts bumping out ;) I am happily looking forward to seeing more photos of Alyson at various stages of her pregnancy because the thought of a baby Alyson Hannigan/Alexis Denisof hybrid THRILLS me to no end! Sooooo loving it!!

Alyson Hannigan Is Pregs!

Aly is going to be a (How I Met Your) Mother
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

OMG! People magazine is announcing the BEST NEWS EVER this morning with their exclusive report that Alyson Hannigan (who currently stars on the hit CBS series How I Met Your Mother but is prolly most beloved for her role as Willow Rosenberg on Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and her husband Alexis Denisof (who you may recall expertly played the role of Wesley Wyndam-Pryce on both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel) have announced that they are going to have their first child next Spring!


Actress Alyson Hannigan is pregnant, her rep Megan Moss tells PEOPLE exclusively. The How I Met Your Mother star, 34, and her husband, actor Alexis Denisof, 42, will welcome their first child this spring. The couple met on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer during the 1999-2000 season and were married at the Two Bunch Palms resort near Palm Springs, Calif., on Oct. 11, 2003.

Woot! This is such amazing news!!! To my knowledge, Aly and Alexis will be the first Buffyverse couple to bring forth a child together. Charisma Carpenter, who played Cordelia Chase on both Buffy and Angel, gave birth to a son back in 2003 but she was not married to another Buffy actor ;) Here are a couple pics of Alyson steppin’ out in Santa Monica, CA yesterday with some take-out:


She ain’t sportin’ a baby bump yet but I will happily be on the look-out for new photos of the beautiful mom to be. Alyson Hannigan is not only beloved for her work on Buffy but many folks loved her comedic turn in the American Pie movies and, of course, for her current stint on How I Met Your Mother. This is just the best news and I couldn’t be happier for the parents-to-be. Much, much love and congrats!
