the calendar shot also. Awesome pic very detailed Mag is US$5 + shipping
- New Zealand TV Guide cover full sized POSTER
http://kiwiattic.bizland.com/kiwiattic/Kevin/KSTVGuideposter.htm
As eluded to last week we did manage to get a small supply of TV Guide posters with Kevin
and Angela on the cover. These are extremely limited and very very hard to get as they are
sent to retailers then destroyed (criminal huh!!!) so we are indeed fortunate to get a
supply from TV Guide for distribution. The posters are MINT but come folded. These are
US$5 each BUT we will ship these FREE for you in a magazine order.
- Heart Throb Calendars
It seems Kevin has agreed to appear in the National Heart Foundation calendar (2001)
called Heart Throbs. We understand he is Mr December. Its a celebrity calendar issued to
improve heart health in New Zealand and has New Zealand Celebs with their own heart throbs
as its theme. Kevins heart throb is a PIG!!! He said he was going to pose with a sheep but
didn't think he could stand all the jokes........ (and a pig is better????) We have a
supply of these calendars ( arriving tomorrow) from the NZ Heart foundation and will
immediately scan these and load them to a web site for you. They tell me Kevin is on the
outside cover of the calendar as well as Mr December. The proceeds of this calendar go to
the National Heart Foundation to assist heart health in NZ. The calendars will be US$14.95
+ shipping. The calendar is full-sized 12" x 12". Again shipping is US$5 and
each second calendar we will ship free. A scan of the calender will be up on the Kiwi
Attic web site tomorrow

Aussie Xena News
- I have to wonder about Channel 10 and their programming
department after reading the latest letter from them. They still think the show is for
kids. Hercules was for kids. Xena was NEVER for kids - at least I wouldn't show it to my
kids if I had any. David Mott who is in charge of programming has blamed the producers as
well. [Click here to read a letter in response to the axing of

Come and see where they filmed such classic scenes as Xena and
Callisto face off in the meadow in Sacrifice (gee was it 1 or 2?), the creek where
Boadicea, Pao Ssu, Callisto, Borias and many more people slaughtered innocent bystanders.
Thelonius's finest work to date - he must have worn out a dozen pairs of tramping boots

- I'm not sure where this bit of news goes but here it is. Xena
has been cloned <g>
oink oink alalalalallalalala
It seems some enterprising scientist has gone when no one has gone before and cloned a pig
and the little oinker is called Xena. The little piglet has a dark coat but there are
rumours it has blue eyes (sorry couldn't resist). You can find out more on http://news.excite.com/news/r/000816/14/science-pigs
- Speaking of animals called Xena...the Wedge Tail Eagle that
was last seen flying the coup from Taronga Zoo in Sydney has escaped into the wilds and is
on the run..er..on the fly somewhere. It hasn't been seen in a long time..I guess Xena the
Eagle isn't going to land any time soon...
And now for something a little bit more serious <g
The Dutch Hercules/Xena fan club just published the second
newsletter of this year. It includes an exclusive set report, an interview with RJ Stewart
(excerpts were published here - click here to read),
an interview with Missy Good, Lucia's Little Adventures and other articles.
- The following is from Bookdaft about the Dark Horse Xena
Comic:
Some of you may be aware that Dark Horse
will be canceling the comic XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS with the fourteenth issue. I had
promised I would report back the reason the comic is being canceled. Frankly,
the problem appears to be low sales, especially in the last 3 months, coupled with a
high licensing fee. Dark Horse has tried several options to reduce their costs or
increase their revenue, including negotiating a reduction in the fee, but nothing
has worked so far.
