4/1/2009

PEOPLE announced that Alyson Hannigan (now seen on How I Met Your Mother) and hubby, Alexis Denisof, better known to Angel fans as Willow and Wesley, kept the gender of their baby a secret during pregnancy, have welcomed a daughter.

Satyana Denisof and was born March 24 in Los Angeles, which also happens to be Hannigan's birthday who first announced she was expecting last October. She craved ginger ale during her pregnancy and revealed she felt absent minded. "I have pregnancy brain, which I never realized was a thing but it is," she said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "I sort of feel like a Koala bear where I'm slightly stoned all the time and say the wrong word."

This is the first child for the Denisofs who met on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer during the 1999-2000 season and were married in 2003. Congratulations!

Andy Hallett Remembered
4/1/2009

It was with great sadness that we informed Angel fans that Andy Hallett, who played the crooning, green-skinned demon Lorne, passed away on March 29th at the age of 33.

"My 10-year old daughter has just finished rewatching all the BTVS and Angel DVDs - she loved the Lorne character as did I. I never got to meet Andy, but always loved seeing his interviews, such an upbeat, outgoing, loving person. I knew he had been hospitalized a few times with problems with his heart, but at the age of 33 this is such a tragedy." ~ Susan Smith

We offer this special remembrance of Andy for all the great moments he so unselfishly gave us on and off the screen.

Echo in the Dollhouse with Eliza Dushku
3/6/2009

When Eliza Dushku took the role of Echo for the new Fox series Dollhouse, Joss Whedon told her he planned on taking her out of her comfort zone. "I'm up for any challenge and any uncomfortable scenario he wants to throw [at me], because that's what this is about," said the distinctively, husky-voiced Dushku.

Once again Eliza takes the helm of her own series (previously starring in Tru Calling), rejoins forces with Whedon, and dons an executive producer hat to launch Dollhouse with reverberation. Throughout a recent interview she was very easy-going and answered each question in vivid detail. Read our feature with Eliza on what else echoes in the Dollhouse.

Dollhouse is Five-by-Five
3/4/2009

Joss Whedon, creator of groundbreaking cult favorites Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, returns to TV and reunites with alumna Eliza Dushku for a thrilling new drama, Dollhouse. Echo (Dushku) is an "Active," a member of a highly underground group of individuals who have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas.

Hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected, the Actives don't just perform their hired roles, they wholly become them with mind, personality and physiology per the client wants or needs. Confined between missions to the Dollhouse. Echo, always under the watchful eye of her handler, has her thoughts, feelings, experiences and knowledge erased after each scenario by the Dollhouse's genius programmer. Echo enters the next scenario with no memory of before. Or does she?

Read the CoA Review of this thrilling new series which airs Fridays at 9:00pm EST on Fox.
