General Amber & Aly tidbit thread

Postby urnofosiris » Mon Apr 21, 2003 1:37 am

If you have tiny bits of Amber and Aly info you wish to post but there isn't an appropriate thread for it or if you don't feel it warrants an entire thread of it's own, you can post it here. This isn't a thread for asking questions about them, that is what the Ask Any W/T or A/A Question + Thread Index thread is for, and as the title says there is a list of existing threads in the first post.



From Feena19's post in the question thread:



Amber has a recipe published in The PETA Celebrity Cookbook

Quote:
Amber's Potent Potato Salad is featured in The PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) Celebrity Cookbook. This cookbook is filled with recipes from celebs, color pictures, facts about vegetarianism, and an animal-friendly grocery list.

Hope I picked the right thread.



There's a convention, called FedCon, I've been attending every year for ... quite a while now. It's mainly Star Trek, but in recent years they've started to include other SF/Fantasy series. This year Anthony Stewart Head will be there as the first actor from Buffy.



Anyway, Dirk (the organizer) has done a little poll on the FedCon board about who we'd like to see on a convention (I think he's talking about 2004.) and I thought that maybe you'd like to see that Amber is doing great :grin



And I actually believe him when he says that those are the people he really has a chance of getting. So maybe there's still hope for European Kittens.



Um, try to avoid doubling her votes within 2 hours as that would be kinda conspicuous. I want them to take that poll seriously ;) :

Edited for the sake of the English language.

Anyhoo, Aly is in the IN TOUCH WEEKLY magazine, April 28, 2003 issue (Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul cover.) There's a pic of her and Alexis and the article title: "Alyson Hannigan plans her wedding". It says most of her castmates are expected to be at her wedding. No specific date yet when the wedding will take place. I will scan it if anyone wants to see/read it. ;)

I think this is the place for this. If not, I'm sure some lovely person will move it or delete it.



From Australia’s Who magazine:



Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Alyson Hannigan has big (and unconventional) plans for her upcoming wedding to Angel’s Alexis Denisof. “I’m going to have a male bridesmaid,” she says. “We want a trampoline,” adds Denisof. “We want a picture of us in our nice clothes jumping in the air. It will be the best way to get her wedding dress off.”



Hee.

The los Angeles times had an article about lesbians on tv and W/T got a nice prop! Thanks Kajo for finding and posting it elsewhere, but I also thought it belonged here.



The kiss that isn't just a kiss

Smooches between women are no longer taboo on-screen. But are they a sign of society's acceptance or a ratings ploy based on straight-male fantasies?



                       



Soap smooch

(Virginia Sherwood)

By Lisa Rosen, Special to The Times



Ah, spring, when a young man's fancy turns to — watching young women kiss each other. Lucky for him, he doesn't have far to turn, at least on-screen. Has it really only been six years since "Ellen" caused such an uproar?



These days, kisses between girls can be found on the reality shows "Meet the Folks," "Big Brother 3," "DisMissed" and "The Real World," among many others. Women in "Fastlane" and "Friends" have done the deed, with heavy network promotion.



Movies chime in, with "Anger Management," "Road Trip," "The Real Cancun," "Not Another Teen Movie" and "American Pie 2" among recent examples. Even radio gets in the act, as with last year's "on-air" kiss between DJ Lisa Foxx and a Playboy playmate on KYSR-FM (Star 98.7). The photos were posted for a while on the station's Web site. And of course lesbians are a longtime obsession for Howard Stern.



When "Ellen" showed the first on-screen romantic kiss between women on a sitcom in 1997, actress Ellen DeGeneres was both lauded and lambasted for her openness, and her show was canceled not long after (comedian Roseanne smooched Mariel Hemingway on "Roseanne" three years earlier, to much less fanfare). But that kiss, and the few others to make it onto TV in the '90s, opened the floodgates.



It's not all sensationalist action. On "ER," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Queer as Folk" and "The Wire," lesbian characters show physical affection for each other without the spring break-crowd egging them on.



On April 23, the ABC soap opera "All My Children" joined in, featuring the first same-sex kiss on daytime television. The character of Bianca (Eden Riegel) finally got to kiss another woman after being openly gay and loveless for almost three years.



"If she had been a straight character, she would have been married and divorced by now," said Mara Levinsky, associate editor of Soap Opera Digest.



Are all of these kisses a sign of a growing acceptance of lesbians in our culture? Or is it simply exploitation in the service of a straight male fantasy? According to Sarah Warn, the answer is a resounding: both, but that's OK.



Warn, the creator of the Web site AfterEllen.com, which looks at the representation of lesbians and bisexual women in the media, has reviewed the shift in lesbian portrayals since the first female kiss on "L.A. Law" in 1991. Regarding the girls who kiss for the boys' approval, "on one level, it's clearly a marketing ploy, and a fairly successful one at attracting male audiences. That doesn't mean it isn't also subversive," she said. "When you go from never seeing those images to sort of being bombarded with them, you gradually become desensitized — and that ends up being a good thing for lesbian and bisexual visibility on television, even if that wasn't the intention."



Scott Seomin, entertainment media director of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, agreed that there were benefits even to scenes featuring kisses as ratings ploys. "Lesbian viewers — particularly young lesbian viewers who are about to come out of the closet — get to see that there are other women like them," Seomin said. "They see there is nothing wrong with loving another woman or being physically affectionate."



So even though Fox hyped a recent "Fast- lane" episode for its hot girl-on-girl action, both Warn and Seomin found the show surprisingly progressive. When star Tiffani Thiessen went undercover as a lesbian, "we didn't see her take off her makeup and put on a flannel shirt" to fit a stereotype, Seomin said. "She simply acted interested in women."



Notably, the men who went undercover on the show had a different fate. Having to kiss to prove they were a gay couple, they blew their cover instead. "That was actually the most clear example of the different standards for women and men kissing on TV," Warn said, "and pretty accurately portrayed that even straight women are more comfortable kissing than straight men are. Which is what you're seeing on the reality shows."



Jennifer Aniston kissed Winona Ryder two years ago on "Friends," "for ratings and easy publicity," Seomin said, further noting that the scene was mentioned in both Time and Newsweek during a ratings sweeps period. (Which begs the question: Is an article about women kissing women a sign of the growing acceptance of lesbians in our culture, or further exploitation of a straight male fantasy?)



According to Warn, "The L-Word," Showtime's series about lesbian life scheduled to debut next January, "will take everything to a whole new level in terms of visibility on television." That show, which was originally titled "Earthlings," features "Flashdance's" Jennifer Beals and Mia Kirshner. It's seen as the counterpoint to the premium cable channel's British import "Queer as Folk."



But first up is another British product: BBC America's "Tipping the Velvet," based on an English bestseller about lesbianism in Victorian England, which will air here starting May 23. Adapted by Andrew Davies ("Pride & Prejudice," "Daniel Deronda") from author Sarah Waters' Booker Prize-nominated novel, it was a critical success when it aired late last year on the BBC.



A first in daytime



These changing attitudes may help explain why that kiss on "All My Children" met with an overwhelmingly positive response from fans. Although daytime audiences are believed to be the most conservative of television viewers, fans of the show had actually campaigned for Bianca to find romance. "It does represent a climate shift from the baby steps of the past," Soap Opera Digest's Levinsky said, "and a difference in the networks' sense of what viewers are ready for."



For her part, "All My Children" actress Riegel was thrilled with the story line. "Anyone who watches it will see that it's very sensitive, that it's quite compelling to people gay and straight, and I hope that they are drawn into it because it's about love." Asked how she felt about the kiss itself, Riegel laughed. "Thumbs up!" she said. "I'd do it again in a heartbeat."



Fans were equally excited about the love story between Tara (Amber Benson) and Willow (Alyson Hannigan) on UPN's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Benson has received hundreds of letters from lesbian teenagers, thanking her for giving them the strength to come out. She recalled being initially nervous that as a straight woman she wouldn't be able to do the part justice, especially in the eyes of her gay friends. "They reassured me that it's not about whether it's two women or a woman or a man, it's about loving somebody," she said. "And the minute that it becomes accepted, that's when we've won."



"Buffy" succeeded in bringing one of television's most realistic portrayals of a lesbian relationship to a mainstream audience. "Of course, we also got a crowd whenever we were doing those [kissing] scenes," Benson said, laughing. "All the crew members stopped by to see if they could help."



So the female lip lock has gone from scandalous to celebrated. It's just a matter of time before the shirt appears on Melrose: "I'm not a lesbian, but I kiss like one."



However, Warn said, "just because more cute women are kissing on TV doesn't necessarily translate into acceptance of women who challenge gender stereotypes in the real world." Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, a legal advocacy organization in San Francisco, bears witness to that in her daily work. "Undoubtedly in the last 10 years, there has been greater cultural and social acceptance of lesbians," Kendell said. "But the fact remains that if those two pretend lesbians in 'The Real Cancun' ever decided that they were really truly lesbians and wanted to form a family and maintain a relationship and keep their jobs and maybe have kids, they would run into significant barriers to acceptance in some quarters in this country."



It's an interesting twist on acceptance: For some, sex is fine, but love is controversial.

Excerpt of an interview with Danny Strong (Jonathan in BtVS) at IGN - he was asked for his opinion of each of his BtVS co-stars :



Quote:
IGN: Alyson Hannigan.



STRONG: Alyson's sort of the same as Nick (Brendon), where she's really, really sweet. She's really funny in, like, a really kind of edgy way that you wouldn't get from her character on the show. She's just a doll – to know Alyson is to love Alyson. You won't find a person that'll say a bad word about her.



IGN: Amber Benson.



STRONG: Amber Benson's very, very sweet. Very intelligent.



IGN: And an independent filmmaker, I understand?



STRONG: Yeah, yeah. You just get the sense this is a very, very bright woman.

Postby willowlove » Thu Jun 12, 2003 12:33 pm

From Ted Casablanca's gossip column at E! online :Hardware Dreamin'

Doncha just love when your man gets all handy around the house? Alyson Hannigan and Melissa Joan Hart certainly do. At a recent H-town pah-tay, the two gals were busy comparing tool-belt notes when it comes to their soon-to-be hubbies--Alexis Denisof and Mark Wilkerson, respectively.



"The other day my fiancé and I were riding bikes, and I screwed up the chain on my bike...When he fixed it, I was so excited," confessed Buffy babe A.H., with a naughty twinkle in her eye. "I was like, Yep, you're hot."



"Well, mine used to be a construction worker before he became a musician, so he has all these power tools," inserted M.J.H. with bride-to-be pride. "So, he's like, 'I'm gonna build this, sand down that and refinish this'...and I'm like, 'All right.' "



Jealous at the witchy woman's hammer-wielding man, the chic, bohemian-clad Alyson screeched, "I'm gonna have to have my man come meet your man!"



Yeah, baby!



But their (mutual) love for the tinkerer in their dudes came to a screeching halt when the two pretty ladies discovered this studly bonus feature comes with a prob: perfectionism.



"See, how I hang a picture is, I hold it where I want it, feel around for the center, remember the spot and hammer in a nail," groaned the perky three-initialed one. "But nooo, he has to measure it and then get out the level to make sure it's straight!"



Shrieking with laughter, Aly-babe quickly agreed the same problem exists at her love nest. "Every time I do it my way, he asks, 'Don't you need to measure that?' and I'm like, 'No.' "



Measure what? Never mind, I digress...



Girls! Be thankful for your boys' hot 'n' handy ways, because once the honeymoon is over, you can bet that drill won't be making regular appearances.



Is that another digression?

Quote:
Entertainment Weekly's 2003 *IT* List





IT Recovering Band Geek: Alyson Hannigan



Age: 29



Why Her?: Hannigan first made an impression as Willow, the sweet witch of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Then she took her flute to band camp and came back a changed woman- smart, tart, girl-next-door sexy - proving that she could do more than back up Buffy. Her spell-casting days now in syndication, the funny girl with the flaming hair stakes her claim as a leading lady in the third slice of the American Pie franchise, American Wedding.



When She Knew She Wanted To Be an Actress: "Birth," laughs Hannigan, who started doing commercials when she was 4.



Role Model: "I used to really admire Jodie Foster's career. Now it's not that I don't admire it, it's just that since she doesn't work as much, there's less to admire." She pauses. "How do I say that without pissing her off?"



How She Said "Say My Name Bitch": Nothing wilted her Willowy image more than this kinky, ad-libbed line in the first American Pie. "I must've been channeling a demon from Buffy. Now I walk down the street, and people shout it at me."



Worst Job: A video store that did a booming porn business. "Every Saturday, I'd get these sweaty videos returned."



Next: After Wedding, she'd love to do a sitcom.

Brief article in the August 2003 issue of Biography Magazine:



Quote:
Spotlight by Miranda Spencer



Alyson Hannigan



CLAIM TO FAME Cast a serious spell on viewers as witchy Willow Rosenberg on the recently wrapped Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Over seven seasons, her character evolved from shy bookworm to formidable conjurer — who once brought Buffy back from the dead. Her sexual orientation evolved as well: She went from dating a werewolf to dating a fellow — and female — witch. Being a lesbian, Hannigan noted, is "not something I ever experienced, but then I've never had to experience bringing my friends back from the dead, either."



THIS ONE TIME, AT BAND CAMP... Shattered her good girl image as Michelle, the very sexually adventurous band geek in the coming-of-age hit American Pie ('99) and its 2001 sequel.



CURRENT ROLE Has two frenetic weeks to organize her nuptials to Jason Biggs, the pastry-phile himself (better keep him away from the wedding cake!), in American Wedding, the third Pie project.

10 Questions: Amber Benson



Answers from Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Tara

July 23, 2003

by Ken P.




Sure, Buffy-holics will readily identify Amber Benson as Willow's significant other, Tara Maclay.



What you should know, however, is that Amber is also a writer/director/producer whose freshman effort, Chance (co-starring Buffyverse vets James Marsters and Andy Hallett), is currently available on VHS and DVD from Amber's fan site.



We've got a whiz-bang interview with Amber coming up in the near future, but here are 10 Questions to tide you over...



1. What is your favorite piece of music?



Oh goodness golly gee... I don't know... There's a lot of music out there that's really good. There's a great band called The Geraldine Fibbers that do this amazing stuff. It's very funky, and it sounds like a guy singing, but it's actually a girl. I love Jeff Buckley's stuff. I love this song, "Hallelujah," that he does – it's just amazing.



2. What is your favorite film?



My favorite film is probably a toss-up between Mifune, which is this weird screwball Dogma comedy, and Antonia's Line, which is a really, really amazing Dutch film.



3. What is your favorite TV program, past or current?



Mork & Mindy.



4. What do you feel has been your most important professional accomplishment to date?



Making a movie.



5. Which project do you feel didn't live up to what you envisioned?



I don't think anything lives up to what you envisioned. It all changes and is different than you think it's going to be.



6. What is your favorite book?



Ooohh, that's a tough one. I'm kind of torn there, too. It's either Journey to the East by Hermann Hesse, or The Idiot by Dostoevsky. One of the two.



7. If you could change one thing about the industry, what would it be?



That people would be nicer to each other.



8. Who – or what – would you say has had the biggest influence on your career?



My family. My family has been so supportive of me and so wonderful.



9. What is your next project?



To finish this novella for the BBC that Chris [Golden] and I owe (Ghosts of Albion).



10. What is the one project that you've always wanted to do, but have yet to be able to?



Visit more countries in the world. I haven't been to as many places as I'd like to go.

Rating 'American Pie' Stars



ALYSON HANNIGAN

AGE
29

'PIE' CHARACTER Michelle Flaherty, the marching band member with an, um, creative use for her shiny foot-long flute. She wins Jim's heart - and his ring - in ''Wedding.''

CLAIM TO FAME A child star in commercials for McDonald's, Six Flags, and Oreos, Hannigan first earned fans in 1997 as vampire-slayer Buffy's trusty TV galpal Willow Rosenberg. Two years later, her infamous ''American Pie'' line made multiplex audiences blush and guffaw in the same instant: ''This one time, at band camp...''

WHAT'S NEXT Hannigan's few movie forays outside ''Buffy'' have been - how can we put this kindly? - unmemorable (Biggs' ''Boys and Girls'' is one example). Now that her series has ended - and with no movie or TV roles lined up - she finds herself at a career crossroads. Will she emerge as the lovable star of a new network sitcom, or as a footnote on ''Buffy's E! True Hollywood Story''? We're betting the former.
