INCOMING TRANSMISSION ...

Sunday, June 23rd, 2002 Update by: Kate, Vartan Ho#1

Do you want doubles?
Souris caught the One Hour Photo trailer in the previews before the film 'Enigma', which is still playing in selected theaters (the trailer may not be in every theater showing this movie). How cool is that? So far, this is the first theatrical debut for the trailer that we're aware of. You can also still go to the One Hour Photo page to watch the trailer online if you can't get to the theaters. Can't wait until August!

Vote, vote, vote!
We're proud to say that, with your help, we've made it to #'s 4 and 5 in the Alias Top 50 Sites list, and the Top Alias Related Sites list. We're proud to be in such good company, and thanx to everyone that's voted. Please keep it up!

Canada Rocks again
Jennifer Garner is on the cover of TV Times, a Montreal English newspaper. I can't wait until we get the show on the American TV guide! A nice Vaughn/Syd pic is just what we need.

Daredevil Coverage
Go to the Daredevil page to check out screen caps from the trailer, in case you can't view it.

Poor Peter!
As much as we despise No!augh, I can't help but feel bad for Peter Berg who, according to this article, was robbed in the middle of the Amazon! Thanx to Melanie for the heads up!

Have a good Sunday everyone. : )


Saturday, June 22nd, 2002 Update by: Kate, Vartan Ho#1

Evening Update
Go check out the new Elecktra (Jennifer Garner) picture on the Daredevil page!

Wanda Awards Results!
MV won Breakout Star male and JG won Breakout Star female, and Syd & Vaughn won Best Chemistry! Lots of Alias nods! Go check them out!

Your 'Wish' is J.J.'s command
We've updated the Wish List with 4 new recommendations. Definitely check those out. This list is growing fast so J.J. had better take heart for next season!

We certainly took our time...
We've added a new blooper to the Section Disparate for your smirking pleasure. And thanx to Jacquie, Vartan Ho #10 for pointing it out!

Michael pics reminder!
For those of you that didn't see the link yesterday, or couldn't access it, you can go to The Michael Vartan Fantasy Zone to catch the Michael 'old photo shoot' pics as well. We recommend you bring a bib with you ;- )


Friday, June 21st, 2002 Update by: Kate + Lugia Vartan Ho#'s 1+8

New (old) Michael Vartan pics!
Ohmigod! Run over to Wireimage to look at hunky, absolutely thudworthy MV pics from a 1994 photo shoot in Mojave Desert, L.A.!! If the link won't work, just go to the Wireimage main page and click on Michael's thumbnail to be taken to his gallery! Otherwise, the direct link is here. Enjoy!

Daredevil Media Blitz!
There's been a lot going on in the world of Daredevil the past 2 days. Along with yesterday's great new pics, today, we've got tons of stuff for ya to read and watch!

Run to Pop Culture Shock to watch Access Hollywood's coverage with a quick glimpse of the teaser.

Fox announced that an official trailer will be available online in a few days.

Let's thank the tireless Lugia for bringing forth the new Daredevil Articles page! We have a few new Daredevil press conference articles that haven't been added yet there yet. The first one has some great Q+A's with Jennifer, Ben Affleck, etc., etc. A very long read (it's a 2 parter!) The second is a shorter read, but still a great article that mentions that the original Elecktra outfit will, in fact, be in the movie. Finally, the third is a wrap up of each article. Definitely check that out.

Also, don't forget to check out the Daredevil page itself, for even more PC news.

The articles keep going, with another, shorter article from Empire Online, one from Entertainment Tonight Online, and the last from Sci-Fi Wire. The press conference coverage is out there!

Foul!
Souris has updated the hillarious Penalty Box with a great rip on E!'s Rank. You must check this out! Poor MV!

Why Canada is great...
The Canadian TV Guide has set up a reader's poll where you can go vote for Michael Vartan as 'Sexiest Male Star' and Jennifer Garner as "Sexiest Female Star'. You can also write in Syd & Vaughn for 'Couples Who Should just Get Together Already!' And make sure you check the box at the end not to receive e-mail spam! I always liked Canada. Thanx to Kristina for the heads up!

...and why servers suck.
Our deepest condolences go to Lori from VartanEtc. It seems her web host shut down Vaughnetc.com without any notice because of bandwidth! Hope she gets it up and running again soon! Let's all pray to the sever Gods.

Sark Attack!
We are glad to announce that David Anders, a.k.a. 'Mr. Sark', is coming back indefinitely! In an article from Zap2It.com, David has been announced to become a regular cast member. Read the articles here and here.

Let's all thank the mighty Gods of Alias for bringing him back!

She's got it!
Here's the link to read about Jen in FHM's '100 Sexiest' list. Click here to see the full size image! I wish they would have used a better picture!

Malibu Vaughn
Yesterday, we let you know that they *may* not be putting out the Alias action figures as it's been rumored because the company that was supposedly producing them said they had no knowledge of any Alias toy. This doesn't mean they aren't going to be made, but that the McFarlane Productions aren't making them. According to a quote on Entertainment Weekly Online, a line of ''Alias'' collectibles, starting with Sydney Bristow figurines, debuts this fall. So hopefully, this is just a mix-up and the toys are, in fact, being created. Until we find out more though we can't be sure. The big question is, who's making them?

Stir the imagination
Start the weekend right with a great fanfic from a fellow Ho. It's nice to let your mind run wild at the end of the week.

Buffest babe in all the land...
There's a pic of Jennifer Garner on the E!Online index page for the next Rank:Best Bodies special. No mention of her in the actual poll, but it looks like she'll be ranked on the July 8 edition!

Incidentally, Michael was ranked #23 in the last poll. (Don't worry MV, you'll always be #1 to us. ;-* )

Daredevil news!
No clips up yet, but they aired yesterday on Extra so they should be coming soon! For now, we've got the next best thing: a great detailed description of the trailer, and 6 new images, including one of Jen, one of KingPin, and one of Bullseye. Check it out!

Also check out the full article on the Jen mentions from Colin Farrell (Bullseye from Daredevil) and Steven Spielberg. Thanx Lugia!

She's sexy, she's cute. She's popular to boot...
Jen, along with her #1 ranking vote from Maxim men's magazine, was ranked #54 of the FHM 100 sexiest women of 2002.

"#54. Jennifer Garner, double agent, new entry.
In only a year, Jennifer vaulted from Dude, Where's My Car? to her lead role as a sassy double agent on ABC's Alias. She'll play opposite Ben Affleck in next year's Daredevil, ending her days of playing second fiddle to puds like 'Dude's' Ashton Kutcher."


Congrat's to her!

Can't play with Vaughn?
Sorry to say it, but according to Dion Bozman of Todd McFarlane Productions the rumours of Alias toys are simply not true. McFarlane Toys is not making them but some other toy company might be making them after all. So don't loose hope! Thanx to various posters at JenniferGarner@yahoogroups.com.

Jen to kiss and tell...
Check out the Misc. news page to read up on a funny cute quote Jen made on the purple carpet of the MTV Awards. All together now, awwwww.

Surprise Assassinations and Tools!
Just for shnits and giggles, check out this random Fashion Assassination and Tool of the Week. There's no earthly reason at all for doing this. It's just something I thought would lighten your morning. Feel free to check them all out.

We keep going and going and going and...
Don't forget to vote for us in the Related Sites list, and the Alias Top Sites list. We're ranked 6th and 7th, respectfully, and would like to keep going strong for the month! Spread the Vartan love!


Wednesday, June 19th, 2002 Update by: Kate, Vartan Ho #1

Daredevil Trailer online tonight!
The Daredevil press conference is going to be held today! Hopefully later tonight, or early tomorrow night, we'll have the link to the very first teaser to the movie, which you can also catch in this Friday's 'Minority Report', with Tom Cruise. We'll keep you posted!

Wanted: Nominations for Zap2It Emmy Shadow Poll!
While most of you aren't in a position to have a say about what will be nominated for real, everyone is allowed to participate in Zap2It's Emmy Shadow Poll. Between now and Friday, July 5, Zap2It invites you to submit up to three nominations in 11 categories covering Best Drama Series, Best Comedy Series, Best Reality Series, Best Lead Actor and Actress, as well as all supporting categories. Any and all shows that aired during primetime from June of 2001 through May of 2002 are eligible. Click on the link to find out more. Have fun!

You big lush!
Don't forget to check out our newly unveiled Happy Hour section! We've got tons of drinks and tons of laughs!


Tuesday, June 18th, 2002 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

Michael Vartan on "E! Ranks the Most Eligible Bachelors"
Souris has transcribed E!Rank's MV interview for us and you can access that here. *Spoilers* for the ranking ahead: Are they on drugs for ranking him only #23!! How freaking off is that! We Hos are actively annoyed! ;)

To make up for it, Souris has scanned-in the picture and article from People Magazine's Most Eligible Bachelors for us and you can download that right here or on the article's page. Amazing photo and we definitely can't have it in enough versions! ;)

Zap2it's Amy Awards
You can now vote for the Amy Awards over at Zap2it. And we've archived Amy Amatangelo alias TV Gal's column here. There's lots of Alias nominations including Syd/Vaughn as Best Couple. Happy voting! :)

"And the Emmy Could Go To" follow-up
One week after MediaWeek's Emmy picks for "Leading Drama Actresses," you can now read their picks for "Supporting Drama Actors." Cool to see so many Alias mentions for consideration for the awards lately. :)

That's it for right now. Have a great Tuesday! And if it's as hot where you live as it's where I am right now, then I'd recommend to take it easy and to drink plenty of water (and some Alias drinks in the evening to chill out)! ;)

Happy Hour update!
Kate and Souris have been working really hard to bring you a Happy Hour update, but Kate's really outdone herself by bringing it to you as early as *today*! Yay, Kate! You rock!

Check it out here and don't forget to give feedback - especially if you try out a few of these (which is highly recommended)! We'd like to know who *your* faves are (you can see *our* bar favorites here) and which names you like best. Thanks for checking it out! :)

New Fashion Assassin!
I'm addicted to these! Souris has put out another of her brilliant Fashion Assassins. This time for the unforgettable pilot episode "Truth Be Told," that instantly managed to hook so many of us (even if it didn't have enough Vaughn!).
And as you may have noticed, this new editorial is coming out right after she put out her VSR Report of the same episode on Friday, so make sure to check it out (again) as well to get the whole picture! :)

Michael Vartan on E! Rank tonight
Don't forget to check out Michael on E! Rank of the "25 Most Eligible Bachelors" on 10 p.m. EDT! This should be really interesting! ;) We'll have all the scoop on this for you tomorrow! :)
Have a nice Monday!



Sunday, June 16th, 2002 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

Happy Father's Day!
We'd like to take this moment to wish Jack and every (Spy!)Daddy out there a Happy Father's Day! :-) (But not you, Sloane, so stop your hinting! ;-p)

Daredevil press conference and intel on teaser trailer
Kate found out that the Daredevil teaser trailer will premiere in theaters and online during the upcoming week or at least on June 21st-22nd for sure.
To mark this important event, a press conference will be held on Wednesday, June 19th in L.A. Jennifer Garner is scheduled to attend, as are other cast & crew members of the Daredevil project. Get all the scoop on Kate's spoiler page. We'll be monitoring the wires for any interviews or images of this event, so stay tuned! :-)

New coincidence
Kate found a really awesome coincidence for us while watching "Touch Me" yesterday. You can read that at Section Disparate if you dare. But be warned, it's almost freaky! ;-)

That's it for today, but we hope to bring you another Happy Hour update as soon as tomorrow, so be on the look out for that!

Have a nice Sunday!
