Hi folks,
I firmly believe this is a case of helping out for the Greater Good and when Xena fans come together...good things happen. I feel this is important. I have nothing against Canada but the Seal Hunt
HAS to stop.
The largest commercial slaughter of marine mammals on the planet will begin in late March. By the end of this year's hunt, more than 300,000 seals will have been brutally killed--many of them babies as young as 12
days old. Some of them will have been
skinned while still conscious and able to feel pain. Stand with me today and stop the seal hunt forever by joining the Canadian seafood boycott. To learn more about the hunt and sign the pledge click here:
http://www.ProtectSeals.org .
Once you've signed the pledge, you'll be able to spot Canadian seafood by using HSUS's downloadable pocket guide to spotting seafood. Thanks for joining me in ending this awful hunt.

TV Guide Online - Is Lucy going to be the new Wonder Woman?

- The following is from TV Guide Online
Question: Now, I think we all know where you stand on the casting for Joss Whedon's Wonder Woman (Entertainment News 3/17), but I feel obliged to mention my best friend's belief that the one and only (aside
from Lynda Carter, natch) choice is Lucy Lawless. If ever the opportunity presents itself, be sure to pass on to Joss this viable second choice (since you would naturally push for Lauren Graham). — Brian

Censorship of Lucy's Back on Two and a Half Men

The following is from Sharon's Page and TV Tome regarding Two and a Half Men. Time Magazine
has an interesting tidbit about Lucy's appearance on Two and a Half Men.
The Decency Police
In the March 7 episode of the sitcom Two and a Half Men, creator Chuck Lorre inserted a statement, which flashed on screen for a second, protesting that CBS had made
him trim a scene that showed the naked back of a young woman - a common enough sight on crime dramas and, say, shampoo commercials.

Locusts!
The following is from Sharon about the pic of Lucy on the set of Locusts!
Answers to some questions I've been getting about the photo.
Lucy is on set studying her lines in a bank in New Orleans that is standing in for a government building in DC. Those are extras sitting next to her. She's been outside in the farm country with the locusts which is why
the government employees are dressed more in business attire. Lucy's character, Maddy, is married so Lucy just wore her own ring.
Lucy's role is Dr Maddy Rierdon. The other cast member mentioned on
the Official Xena Fan Club page is Dylan Neil who plays Dr Maddy's husband.
Two and a half Men
The episode of "Two and a Half Men" featuring Lucy, "It was Mame,

Seeing Lucy Lawless brazenly snatch Halle Berry's role on Monday's Two and a Half Men reminded us how much we've missed the Aussie spitfire. Any chance she'll ever reprise her role as that sapphic icon, Xena,
Warrior Princess?

Life after Xena. It's been 3 1/2 years since Lucy Lawless wrapped up her
"Xena: Warrior Princess' series, and she's spent most of that time
focusing on marriage, her two sons and her move from New Zealand to the
United States. Now she's picking up her professional pace again,
starting with a guesting on tonight's "Two and a Half Men,' and
continuing with the currently shooting CBS movie "Locusts.' Read more
