the third most sexiest woman in New Zealand. Abit modest I would have
thought! Click here to see the scans.

Snippet
about TARZAN
(mention of other shows snipped)
(8 p.m., The WB,
Oct. 5) - It's "no flights, no tights" on the network's Smallville,
so don't expect this contemporary version of the storied ape man to
yell or pound his chest in his already noisy new habitat - New York
City.
Off-camera, though,
newcomer Travis Fimmel, a former Australian farmer, may be hard-pressed
to resist pounding down a few cold ones. A TV Guide cover story portrayed
him as an accomplished boozer who said, "My idea of working out is
drinking whiskey - instead of beer." He's changed his tune a bit since
then.
"I can't drink
if I have to get up early, man. It kills me," he says. "I'm happy
not to drink." Maybe Lucy Lawless can help keep him in line. The former
star of "Xena: Warrior Princess" recently joined the cast as Tarzan's
Aunt Kathleen.

Lucy photo and mention on pg.30 in the latest Star magazine issue.

SILENT AUCTION FOR AUTOGRAPHED CANVAS
This canvas is truly one-of-a-kind, and a must for the true Xena: Warrior Princess fan.
The canvas is hand illustrated with the Chakram and Sais, and signed by Rob Tapert, Lucy
Lawless and Renee O'Connor.
There is a touching story behind the creation of this unique piece. When we all thought T.
Novan had just a short time left with us, she received the canvas as a gift - a memento
for use at her funeral. TN hand carried it to the 2001 Pasadena convention, where many saw
her in her wheel chair. There, the three stars met with her and signed the canvas. The
piece is framed in a museum quality mount, with a photograph of Rob, Lucy and Renee
standing in front of Rob's Folly in Auckland, New Zealand.
This unique piece is 28" by 48" and weighs approximately 20 lbs with glass and
frame.
Our minimum bid is $1,200.
We will conduct a silent auction for this incomparable piece, giving individuals who are
not in attendance at DC BardFest an equal opportunity to acquire this magnificent creation
and contribute to a fine charitable cause. We will accept online silent bids at auction@dcbardfest.com.
We will post the highest bid received each evening. Bids will remain open until Midnight
on Saturday, October 4th, and participants at DC BardFest will have the opportunity to
submit silent bids as well. At Midnight, we will review all bids, both online and those
submitted at DC BardFest and announce the winning bid Sunday morning.
TN is in full remission and she feels this very special object should go to helping
children facing the same risks she did - and we hope that the contribution helps at least
one child find the same kind of miracle TN did.

This has to be the weirdest connection to the show so
far....
The following is from Indian Financial Press - Economic
success of a country is mirrored in success in other areas also
This is not a joke and Terry Pettijohn is a real person. He
teaches in Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pennsylvania. Professor Pettijohn has also taught
at places like Ohio State University. He is the author and editor of several psychology
textbooks and is especially interested in what is called social psychology. In his latest
research, Terry Pettijohn has analysed “Playboy” centerfolds from 1960 to 2000
to develop the Xena versus Gabrielle thesis. (The names Xena and Gabrielle won’t make
sense unless you watch the warrior princess on TV).
When the economy does badly, men prefer stronger-looking
women like Xena, slightly older, heavier and taller, and with larger waists. These are
women who can take care of themselves and of men. When the economy does well, men prefer
weaker and frailer women like Gabrielle, whom they can take care of. These tend to be
younger, shorter and thinner, with smaller waists. This hypothesis is called environmental
security. To read the entire article - go to http://www.financialexpress.com/fe_full_story.php?content_id=41652

Zap2It has announced that Lucy will be in a new show
called Tarzan which airs 5 October in the US
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Xena's
warrior cry is about to make beautiful music with Tarzan's monkey holler.
Lucy Lawless is joining the cast of The WB's
"Tarzan" in the crucial (but only recently added) part of Tarzan's aunt.
The Kiwi actress will play Kathleen Clayton, a publishing
magnate and younger sister of Mitch Pileggi's Richard Clayton, the acting head of
Greystoke Industries. Kathleen and Richard have very different ideas of how to handle
their recently rediscovered nephew Jack (Travis Fimmel). Richard believes that Tarzan must
be rehabilitated and reintroduced to non-simian society, while Kathleen wants to give the
monkey man time to find his own way.
Both may have ulterior motives, as they know that whoever
controls Tarzan also controls Greystoke.
"Lucy has a tremendous sense of humor, warmth and
grace," says The WB's Entertainment President Jordan Levin. "She has a fun,
larger-than-life personality that will shape the character of Kathleen Clayton as she
makes it her own and that is what attracted us to her for future development."
Lawless, who starred in "Xena: Warrior Princess"
from 1995 until 2001, is only signed as a regular for the show's first season. Her deal
with The WB also includes an exclusive series development deal for the 2004-2005 season.
"Tarzan" reunites Lawless with executive producer
Laura Ziskin, who performed the same duties on "Spider-Man," which featured a
small cameo from Gabrielle's former bosom buddy.

- Season 2 is out and the picture is fantastic. Okay it seems
the version at Best Buy has a 30 minute interview with Lucy & Renee. It's only
available at Best Buy - why? Who knows. The bad thing about Best Buy is that they don't
ship outside the US. For those not in the US - you can buy it from Amazon.com
- Now here's a way for your voice to be heard - Kym Taborn is taking your suggestions about what
you want to see in the Season 3 DVD release - ie interviews, commentaries etc. to give to
Anchor Bay for the next release. They really want to know what the fans would like to see
which is pretty cool. So if you have a suggestion email Kym

- Added Of Love
and Betrayal (Complete) by Erin O'Rielly
LJ Evans thought she found happiness when Kiley Wilcox came into her life. Can she let her
previous life’s priorities go and become a ‘we’? Kiley Wilcox
finally discovered what real love was when LJ came into her life. What will happen
when she realizes that the choices she’s made will not sit to well with others? Is
their love strong enough to survive temptations and public opinion? Will relationship
bring them the fulfillment they both long for?
- Added Reflections
On The Past (Complete) by Erin O'Rielly
Relationships, if they are to be successful, need to be nourished and cared for with
diligence or they are sure to fail. In a world that was unfriendly to their lifestyle, LJ
and Kiley worked hard every day to make what they had together thrive. They knew that
together they could face and conquer any obstacle in spite of the difficulties in their
way.

Movie News
Well the following news isn't exactly about
the movie but those who own the rights to Xena. There has been some news around that
Vivendi Universal (TPTB when it comes to Xena) were going to be sold to NBC but it doesn't
look that way by an article
in the Financial Times published 3 September 2003. What does all this have to do with
Xena? Vivendi Universal (or the TV/Film arm of it) has the rights to Xena and if a movie
is ever made, they will pull the purse strings.

Some tidbits from the Lucy Chat on
USAToday.com which was very short and sweet:
When asked about the commentary on the DVDs
and if there will be more of this for the release of the other seasons, Lucy indicated
that there will be and Rob inspired both her and Renee.
When asked if she kept in contact with Renee
- Lucy said
Yes. I talk to her every couple of weeks or every month. We usually live in different
countries, which makes visiting difficult. She'll be a lifelong friend, since we feel we
did some serious growing up together.
When questioned about the impact that Xena
and Lucy had on victims of domestic violence Lucy said:
In a way it freaks me out to think that people took such deep messages and were given such
strong inspiration for a show, because we never truly recognized its power, at least I
didn't. I'm almost glad I didn't know, because the responsibility would have been too
great. I wouldn't have been able to put one foot in front of another. I think those people
were waiting for an impulse to make a change, and I'm glad Xena was it. But it scares me
to think I could have made people jump the other way. I know from my work with domestic
violence you never tell a woman to leave her husband. You can help her if she asks for it,
but you can't instigate putting her in danger. It freaks me out that our show could
instigate a situation where a woman could have been in danger. I'm not afraid to go
anywhere in my own dark interior.
When asked what was the greatest thing to
come out of Xena - Lucy responded:
For me personally, I got to meet my last partner and the father of my children and make
some great friends. But for the world, the fans of Xena became such a force for good that
they've raised a lot of money for different charities and causes. They really are the
phenomenon. I can't take credit for any of it - I was just getting paid to do a job. I'm
stymied by the attention and the praise I get simply for being the most visible cog in the
machine. The greatest thing? The quality of fans - definitely

Added Possibilities (Complete) by Erin
O'Rielly
Events and people who constantly come and go shape our lives. Just as the universe is in
constant state of flux so are we. As we continuously change and evolve, that which we
swore we would never do, change as circumstances occur that make them possible.
Two worlds are about to collide. Will the outcome be nothing more than a learning
experience or will it alter two women's lives forever?
