- The following is from Leanne from Kiwi Attic
On Sunday, Lucy featured in both the Sunday Star Times and the Sunday News regarding the
Top 100 people in New Zealand in terms of wealth. The Sunday Star Times has an excellent
46 page booklet which has a full page picture and accompanying article detailing Lucy's
earnings and how she ranks against other New Zealand top-earners. Both her and Rachel
Hunter are the top of the entertainers section. http://kiwiattic.bizland.com/Xena/otheritems/Top100.htm
- The Sunday News also has a small picture and contains similar
information. Not as impressive as the wee booklet though! All articles have been
transcribed for you. http://kiwiattic.bizland.com/Xena/SundayNews/250201.htm
- The New Idea this week has a two page story about Lucy in the
upcoming episode of Just Shoot Me (which has already aired in the USA) with a series of
screen pictures and full page picture of Lucy dressed up "to the nines" in her
screen role. http://bizland.kiwiattic.com/Xena/NewIdea/030301.htm
- This weeks Sunday News has a write up of the programme
(Lawless with Kevin Smith) as reviewed by Bill Ralson (who is usually a political figure
who does anything to create dissention). Surprisingly, he has good things to say about
Kevin, and the programme. You can check out the page from the paper, along with a few
excerpts from the article at this link: http://kiwiattic.bizland.com/Kevin/SN250201.htm

There has been a few people over the course of the past few
days that have looked into Murphy's "death". After reviewing the evidence I
believe that the online persona of Murphy is dead but the person behind the persona is
not. I didn't want to believe this was true and it's not true (that is a good thing). The
bad thing is that Murphy perpetrated this hoax and for that I am extremely disappointed
that someone would feel the need to "kill" themselves. We've lost Rebekah and
Tonya (may they both rest in peace) and it's a cruel and sadistic way to "get
back" at people for whatever reason. The resources and time of people were spent in
trying to find out if Murphy died. Amy if you are reading this please know that what you
did was wrong and it hurt a great many people who cared for you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RENEÉ and many happy returns!
An Invitation to
all of Tonya Muir's Online friends
from Ana
I want to extend an
invitation to all of Tonya Muir's online friends (and there are many of us). I am
organizing an online memorial service/wake for all of us who wish to honor and remember
our friend. The news of her death saddened many of us and I get the feeling we haven't had
a chance to mourn and remember her as a community. On Friday February 16, starting at 8 PM
Central time, please join us at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/For_Tonya/chat for this memorial/wake.
You will need to subscribe first to my list in order to participate (sorry about that;
it's the way it works) but we are not talking "long term commitment" here. I
will be closing the list shortly after this memorial/wake. There will be some simple rules
to follow that I will post at the beginning of the memorial/wake. To subscribe, click on For_Tonya-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
I don't know how long it will take, but you can stay as long as you want to.
For more information contact Ana at ana_l_lugo@email.msn.com

Red hot Lucy and Renee picture for
sale from Kiwi Attic
The photo you have all been waiting for..........Lucy and Renee O'Connor holding
hands at the TV Guide Television awards. This is an excellent quality 5 x 7inch glossy
photo. Unfortunately, we were unable to budge this particular photographer from their
price and as a consequence, this photo is more expensive than other 5 x 7's previously
offered by Kiwi Attic. US$10.00 for the photograph, but shipping is still US$3.50, with
the offer of 3 or more photos ordered being shipped for free. http://kiwiattic.bizland.com/Xena/otheritems/LLRCphoto.htm

- Reminder: from Dawn about the t-shirts for Charity
With the Pasadena 2001 Xena Convention fast approaching,
it is our goal to sell at least 500 (hopefully more), t-shirts to raise money for the
following charities: The Starship Foundation's Safe and Sound Appeal, The Starship
Children's Hospital and the James B. Ellis Foundation. These shirts will be available in a
variety of sizes, will be silk-screened, 4-color process on a 50/50 white t-shirt.
Click here to view t-shirts
- Here is the latest info from Dawn about the t-shirts
I just received an anonymous gift donation, matching the
t-shirts sales up to $5000.00!!!!!! That's right!! $5000.00!!! I spoke to the donor (who
wishes to remain anonymous), this evening, and they will be sending me 2 checks, matching
the t-shirt sales up to $5000.00 ($2500.00 made out to each of the 2 charities)!! Which
means, the more t-shirts we sell, the better our chances of receiving the full $5000. This
person wanted to do something to say thank you to the cast and crew of Xena: Warrior
Princess so they decided to donate the money to the t-shirt sales.

- Lucy to play Wonder Woman in new movie?
"Fans mourning the death of Xena:Warrior Princess received a glimmer of hope
this week. Lucy Lawless who played the title role in the recently axed show, is the hot
favourite to portray Wonder Woman, the mother of allsuper-heroines. The comic book
character inspired a much-loved television series in the Seventies, starring Lynda Carter,
but previous plans for Wonder Woman to join her DC Comics stablemates Batman and Superman
on the big screen have floundered.

Symphony hosted by Lucy and Kevin (see below for the pictures and a small report)
The free concert in the Auckland Domain will be hosted by actors Lucy Lawless and Kevin

wears them and, although she starred in a Broadway production of Grease, she has no plans
to sing tonight. The concert starts at 7.30 pm and will raise money for the Starship and
Kidz First children's hospitals. If postponed, it will be held tomorrow night.

cleared his throat before giving us the xenarama details.
For Aussies with Foxtel access:
Foxtel is showing another Xena-Rama from February 5 - Xena for three hours every day from
