14th December 2002 - New Renee Pic Apparently up on eBay, there's a new publicity photo of Renee O'Connor doing the rounds. Quite a nice shot...guess she's sticking with the dark-haired look for a while! Karl(Julius Caear) Urban is all over the media right now with his role in the new Lord of the Rings movie, The Two Towers. However, most press totally ignores his roles on XENA!! The cheek! 10th December 2002 - News Updates The photos from this years Creation XENA Calendar are available to see online at the Creation web site. I think these are from the photo calendar. There is also a photo montage one. UK TV SNIPPETS Channel 5 are showing XENA reruns on Saturday mornings again. Season 4 right now. They also have episodes of Cleopatra 2525 on Saturday afternoons which I don't think have been on before. You early birds can also catch XENA repeats on Sky One at about 5am each day! 7th December 2002 - Look Out New Zealand - Lucy Sings! Lucy Lawless seems to be trying her hand at pretty much everything these days. After a theatre stint in The Vagina Monologues, she is now off on tour for a couple of weeks of New Zealands holiday spots, SINGING! Her partner is New Zealand singer-songwriter Dave Dobbyn (never heard of him myself but a quick web search shows he is a real musician!). Go to the article at STUFF and read about Lucy's views on singing. Interestingly in the article, she also mentions possibly signing up for a one hour US drama show. Hmmm...wonder which one?? Get ready for the new poll on that very subject 2nd December 2002 - Xenaverse News Spotted this over at MaryDs site, there is a new XENA book out soon: Xena Warrior Princess: Complete Illustrated Companion by respected SciFi/Fantasy journalist K.

Most UK Xena events have wound up now, but I know people still want a chance to meet up with Xena pals. So, mark it in your diary UKers and check out the Fest Page with details of how to book. If you see the new James Bond film, look out for a familiar face. XENA actor Laurence Makoare you might remember as the lead barbarian in The Quill is Mightier and also Fins, Femmes and Gems plays the baddie's henchman, Mr Kil! Good to see Will Yun Lee from Witchblade in there too! 24th November 2002 - Trading Cards...Soon! Coming Soon, well, December, are the next set of trading cards from Rittenhouse. Called Beauty and Brawn, there are lots of special ones, including the gold dust like dual autograph card signed by Lucy and Renee. Wonder what THOSE will go for on Ebay??

Creation are now selling the preferred seating for the convention, both the full weekend package($325) and also the single days tickets($61 for each day and Friday evening, $71 for the Saturday evening featuring Lucy and Renee.)

Taking place on 7-9th February, at the Pasadena Center, Lucy and Renee will also be doing some sort of evening entertainment together. No news yet on what onstage Q&A appearances they will be doing. A great sounding guest line up includes HUDSON LEICK (Callisto), ALISON BRUCE (Melosa), MELINDA CLARKE (Velasca), PARIS JEFFERSON (Athena), CLAIRE STANSFIELD (Alti), DANIELLE CORMACK (Ephiny), MEIGHAN DESMOND (Discord), DARIEN TAKLE (Cyrene), VICTORIA PRATT (Cyane), ADRIENNE WILKINSON (Eve) and MUSETTA VANDER (Ilainus). (Where are all the guys??) Read more at the Creation Site 25th October - XENA actors Update I went to see "xXx" with Vin Diesel today, also so-starring Marton Csokas - Borias himself! Marton gets to do the exact same accent as on Xena, and once again is a bad guy. Although I think Borias has much more depth than Yorgi - Marton's character. (I wasn't that impressed with the film.) There is an online interview clip - yes, finally hear Marton's Kiwi accent -but it's a very dull interview. Also, look out for more of Marton in the director's cut Lord of the Rings DVD. Paris Jefferson is just ending a run on stage in York, England in Frankie and Johnny, and I just found a rather nice online interview and picture of her, which includes a brief XENA mention. Read in here Ted Raimi fans might like to know he has a guest role in the new show Odyssey 5. It's on Sky TV here in the UK, but I haven't seen it. Ted is in episode 13. 20th October - No news, but just to say hi to everyone. A new poll today, and if you're looking for Xena chat, why not come and join in at the Xenaville Message Board.

Kevin Smith 1963-2002 Lucy on TV in.....?? Lucy Lawless mentioned in a recent interview that she might be joining a US drama series. So which show would you lik eto see her in? CSI - either of them 24 - Lucy would be a better baddie than Dennis Hopper Alias - Sydney's....aunty? ER - can never have too many doctors. Six Feet Under - Lucy as an undertaker? The Sopranos - forget about it......surely! The West Wing - They need a replacement for Rob Lowe... NYPD Blue - those detectives are always changing Judging Amy - joining Tim Omundsen? Gilmore Girls - we don't get it over here, but I hear its pretty good Some other US Drama show Current Results See previous XENAVILLE polls
