INCOMING TRANSMISSION ...

Saturday, March 9, 2013 Update by: Souris, Vartan Ho #4

"Fire" in the hole!
If any of you happen to be lucky enough to have Reelz channel, you can see Michael in "Ring of Fire" starting Monday. The first part will air Monday at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Eastern, and the second part will air Tuesday at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. It's unfortunately not a widely available channel, but you can enter your zip code here and it will tell you if and where it's available in your area. You'll probably have to have satellite TV or expanded digital cable. You can also see a few clips at that link. (I'm sorry, but "Dr. Cooper" just makes me think of Big Bang Theory, LOL!)

Go Heels! Beat Dook!



Saturday, January 19, 2013 Update by: Souris, Vartan Ho #4

Ice, ice, baby
If any of you are near Park City, Utah, and free on Sunday, Michael will be skating in the Luc Robitaille Celebrity Shoot-Out. You can buy tickets here. Thanks to Michael himself for tweeting about it!



Tuesday, January 15, 2013 Update by: Souris, Vartan Ho #4

Golden boy
Sunday was a big night in Hollywood with the Golden Globes, and Michael attended the WB InStyle and Weinstein after-parties. You can check out some pics at Getty Images, InStyle and one larger one at Contact Music.

Can Tina Fey and Amy Poehler please host everything forever?



Tuesday, November 27, 2012 Update by: Souris, Vartan Ho #4

Let him eat cake
The Vartan Hos would like to wish Michael a wonderful, fabulous, very happy 44th birthday! We hope he gets everything he wishes for today. Within reason, of course. ;-)



Monday, October 29, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

November hotness
November is just around the corner (how did THAT happen?), so we've got a brandnew printable calendar page for you for Michael's birthday month. Aww!

Be safe on the East Coast!



Saturday, October 20, 2012 Update by: Souris, Vartan Ho #4

Michael recently did a podcast with Rich Eisen, and you can listen to it (as well as see a pic of Michael and Rich) here. Thanks to SouthernGal for the link!

Lord of the "Ring"
Sonar Entertainment has released a trailer for "Ring of Fire." Check it out at the official site or their Facebook page. Thanks to an anonymous Vartanopia member for the heads-up!



Tuesday, October 16, 2012 Update by: Souris, Vartan Ho #4

Poster boy
You can check out the "Ring of Fire" poster here. Michael is right in front of Terry O'Quinn's giant head. Thanks to SouthernGal for the link!



Friday, October 12, 2012 Update by: Mel TM, Vartan Ho #13

Michael at the Hero Dog Awards
In a perfect combination of all that is good, here is some coverage of Michael at the American Humane Association's Hero Dog Awards. You'll find tons of photos here and here. And you can watch Michael talk about why he's excited to present an award beginning at the 1:30 mark, right after Betty White (speaking of awesomeness).

Thanks to SouthernGal and Janet Coop!

"Go On" promo pic
Better late than never, NBC has posted a high-res promo pic of Michael and Matthew Perry doin' it up hockey-style on "Go On." Just a reminder to check yesterday's update for a link to the full episode!



Thursday, September 27, 2012 Update by: Mel TM, Vartan Ho #13

In case you missed it, Michael's cameo on Matthew Perry's new show "Go On" aired this week! You can check out a couple of images here. The full episode is available for viewing here on NBC's website (Michael's part is around the 7-minute mark). You can also watch it on the Primetime On Demand channel if you have Time Warner Cable. Thanks to ion and SouthernGal for the info!



Friday, September 21, 2012 Update by: Mel TM, Vartan Ho #13

More "Ring of Fire" pics
Today we have even more Hero!Michael photos to share on the "Ring of Fire" site (click the "Photos" tab). Hmm, maybe this will jumpstart Michael into a career as full-time action hero. I could live with that, I think! Thanks to SouthernGal for the link!



Sunday, September 2, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

Michael contributes to "A Letter to My Dog"
Michael has written a love letter to his dog, Millie, which will be published in the book "A Letter to My Dog," available from September 19. The Humane Society has reprinted it online and conducted a little interview with Michael about it and other relevant animal topics. Absolutely stunning stuff! Thanks to SouthernGal for passing it on!



Monday, August 27, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

Michael in action on "Ring of Fire"
The first official "Ring of Fire" promo pics are available! Click on the "Photos" tab and you can see Michael and Terry O'Quinn, looking mighty fine in their destroying and/or saving the world roles. ;) Thanks to SouthernGal at Vartanopia for the heads-up!

September calendar page
We blame the Olympics. We collectively forgot to do an August calendar page! So sorry about that. But we're live for September again. :) Oh, the prettiness!



Thursday, August 23, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

Michael to be on "Go On"
Michael posted on Twitter that he'll have a cameo appearance as a hockey player on Matthew Perry's new fall series "Go On." Yay!



Wednesday, August 8, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

Michael & dogs 4eva!
PeoplePets has released some pics of Michael's dogs and their names as tattoos on his arm. Aw, what a genuine animal lover! Thanks to SouthernGal for the heads-up!



Monday, August 6, 2012 Update by: Souris, Vartan Ho #4

Humming a little Johnny Cash....
It looks as if Michael's miniseries "World on Fire" may have gotten a name change to "Ring of Fire." Here's an article about the director and the budget, with some more specific info on Michael's role.

Congratulations to all of the Olympic winners and participants so far! I'm a total Olympics groupie, so I've been watching little else. I'm always sad when the swimming is over, though.



Monday, July 23, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

When Vaughn ran into Sark...
David Anders, better known as Sark from "Alias," met up with Michael in Vancouver the other day and shared a pic on his Twitter account! My "Alias" hotties! *drool*



Wednesday, July 11, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

"World on Fire" synopsis
For the spoiler enthusiasts among you, there's a "World on Fire" summary with more character details available now. As I understand it, Michael is playing the heroic lead role vs. evil Terry O'Quinn. Should be fun!



Sunday, July 8, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

"World on Fire" details
More info has become available on Michael's new mini-series. "Disaster Pack V.1" is a TV project consisting of five disaster-themed mini-series. Michael will star in mini-series number 5 called "World on Fire" (runtime: four hours). According to Deadline.com, its specific disaster is a massive undersea eruption at the Pacific's ring of fire, caused by an oil company drilling too deeply into the ocean floor and hitting a lava pocket.

Filming is underway in the Vancouver area and this on-location report reveals that Terry O'Quinn is part of the cast. "Alias" fans might remember him as F.B.I. Assistant Director Kendall in Season 2. Thanks to SouthernGal!

July calendar page
Go here to download our printable MV calendar leaf. Sorry it's a bit late, but luckily July is really long. ;) Summer, yay!



Saturday, July 7, 2012 Update by: Souris, Vartan Ho #4

New project
Michael is working on a new project! It's a miniseries called "World on Fire," and it's filming in Vancouver and the area. An actress appearing in it posted this picture. There's not a huge amount of information about the miniseries yet, but you can read a few things about it here and here, and see some filming pics (none of Michael) here. Thanks to julie and SouthernGal at Vartanopia for the links.

Puck talk
Michael was recently interviewed by Pure Hockey, and the result is a fun little interview with a lot of talk about, duh, hockey. Thanks to Michael for retweeting the link, LOL!



Sunday, July 1, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

More of MV at NHL Awards
We end the week the way we started it, with a cute MV interview at the NHL Awards. Aw, those little video interviews were what hooked me on Michael in the first place - I just love his personality! Thanks to SouthernGal for the link!

Happy July!



Monday, June 25, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

MV at NHL Awards
There's a clip of Michael giving a little interview on the red carpet on YouTube. Thanks to mitchum!

You can also watch him presenting (his part is at the 8:00 minute mark). Thanks to SouthernGal for that clip.

Michael news! *iz happy*



Wednesday, June 13, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

Michael is on Twitter
Michael is too cool for school and that's why he has his official Twitter account: @damoosers! Yay! Now we can all be excited about sports together. Go Germany in tonight's Euro2012 soccer game!



Monday, June 11, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

Hockey fans in action
Michael and Lauren got snapped in half a photo while attending the Stanley Cup finals game. Look at the bottom. Sweet, they. Thanks to mtsmvfn for the link!



Thursday, June 7, 2012 Update by: Mel TM, Vartan Ho #13

Showin' some Kings love
Michael's beloved LA Kings are doing their best to win a Stanley Cup (and who knows--maybe by the time you read this, they will have!). Happily, Michael and the Mrs. have been able to attend the fun in person. Check out this video of their (and other celebs') arrival at the game. They show up around the 1:30 mark. Thanks to SouthernGal for the link!



Wednesday, June 6, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

Michael to be at NHL Awards
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Michael will attend the NHL Awards on June 20. "Vince Vaughn, Glee's Cory Monteith, Matthew Perry, Hawthorne's Michael Vartan and sports broadcaster Erin Andrews will be high-schticking with hockey stars at the upcoming 2012 NHL Awards on NBC Sports Network, organizers said Tuesday. ... The Hollywood stars will be presenting trophies or making special appearances at the pro hockey league's post-season awards show, to air on NBC Sports Network on June 20." Thanks to SouthernGal for the alert! The weather around here feels like I'm at the ice rink already. ;)



Sunday, June 3, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

"Demoted" sneak peek
Go here to view an excerpt of "Demoted" from early on in the movie. This MV comedy will be released on Blu-ray/DVD on June 12. Thanks to SouthernGal for the video!

"HIGH School" promo pic
Here's a fresh pic of Michael's character in his other feature-length comedy, "HIGH School." I gotta say he looks "interesting." I definitely like how he branched out with these two roles! :)



Tuesday, May 29, 2012 Update by: Souris, Vartan Ho #4

Turning the page
It's almost June, so there's a new calendar page for your date-keeping pleasure. This month's page takes a trip back to the past!



Thursday, May 3, 2012 Update by: Mel TM, Vartan Ho #13

Genesis Awards will air this weekend
If you're flipping channels this Saturday and Sunday, flip over to Animal Planet. They'll be airing the Genesis Awards, which Michael attended back in March, at 4pm Saturday and 8am Sunday. I can think of much worse ways to spend a weekend!



Monday, April 30, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

"Demoted" straight to Blu-ray?
News appeared about "Demoted" being released on Blu-ray on June 12, so we assume that means there won't be a theatrical release. Bummer. But any way to finally see it at all is fine by me!

"High School" in theatres
Michael has a much smaller role in "High School," but at least that comedy will hit the big screen on June 1. Whee!

Calendar for May
I was rather fond of April because The Safe House celebrated its 10th anniversary, believe it or not, but what better way to welcome sunny May than with the color of love and cute pics of Michael? You can download our printable calendar page here. May the weather gods be nice to us (I still need to do a ton of gardening!).



Wednesday, April 4, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

"Demoted" promotion
There seems to be some progress! Yay! There's now a new poster available, and you can watch the new trailer on YouTube. Thanks to SouthernGal at Vartanopia!



Saturday, March 31, 2012 Update by: Souris, Vartan Ho #4

April cool
No foolin', it's practically April, so here's the April calendar page. It's a "Monster-in-Law" theme this month.

Don't be too gullible tomorrow!



Monday, March 26, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

Genesis Awards!!
Michael attended the Genesis Awards on the weekend, which means lots of new pics for us. :) Not a single gray hair yet! First up we have this nice high-res photo from the event.

And then you can find photos at Facebook 1 and Facebook 2, ImageCollect and Zimbio 1.

There are also some at Zimbio 2 and Filmmagic, with thanks to SouthernGal!

The Humane Society has put up a photostream with pics of MV and this blogger has a photo and little write-up of MV signing autographs. Thanks to SouthernGal for those links, too! :)

The awards show will be shown as a one-hour special on Animal Planet on May 5.



Monday, February 20, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

Successful past
I had a very geeky moment on Sunday when the Taviani brothers took home the "Golden Bear" at the Berlinale festival in Germany for directing "Caesar must die". I immediately remembered that they did "Fiorile" in the 90s. :)

Hockey gallery 2.0
There are some more Celebrity Shout-Out photos on this page. You'll have to scroll through to find the MV ones, since there aren't any cutlines. MV wore a white No. 42 hockey jersey. You can buy the pics. Thanks to mlv for the tip!

Eye candy for printing
Spring is almost here (well, ALMOST), and with it comes the lovely calendar page for March. It's getting hot in here...



Monday, February 6, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

Hockey gallery
More photos of Luc Robitaille's Celebrity Shoot Out have appeared on the 'net. Thanks to SouthernGal for finding them! You can view them at Startraksphoto.com and I suggest to click on Michael's name in the "Celebrities" box on the left side to only view his pictures. ;)



Monday, January 30, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

"Demoted" will finally come to theatres
Remember "Demoted" and "High School"? Those funny movies Michael did, which then got lost in (festival) obscurity because nobody released them? Anchor Bay Entertainment has now picked them up for nationwide distribution. "High School," in which Michael has a small role, might hit theatres as early as April 20. The deal rests on "Demoted" being released, too, as well as a third movie, so hopefully that'll pan out - no word yet on when "Demoted" might premiere. Michael plays one of the leads. Thanks to SouthernGal for the good news!

Mr February
We've added the calendar page for February. Ten years ago Vaughn was on our TV screens with all the good stuff happening like People's Choice and Golden Globe wins. Aw!



Tuesday, January 24, 2012 Update by: Souris, Vartan Ho #4

Celebrity Shoot Out
Michael participated in Luc Robitaille's Celebrity Shoot Out ice hockey match for the "Echoes of Hope" charity on Sunday. You can see him in picture #1 at this gallery. You can also see him bending over in the last photo in the second row here, as well as in the first photo of the fourth row at the same site. Thanks to Mitchum and SouthernGal!

Bah, I popped off my crown this evening while chewing jelly beans. Off to the dentist tomorrow morning. I'm not happy!



Wednesday, January 11, 2012 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8
