Gillian Anderson #5
The Sci-ren
She's stuck with The X-Files through thick and thin while still managing to gain art-house acclaim.

Titan red hair, luminous skin and a wild-child background gives Gillian Anderson an other-worldly glow. After all, what other star could have maintained the immense popularity of The X-Files when high- profile co-star David Duchovny left?

Under "Seven Deadly Sins":
#6. Hairy Underarms. When in Rome (or in many other places in the world), fine. But in the U.S., women with unshaven underarms, such as Gillian Anderson's at an April pro-choice rally in Hollywood, are 'associated with being not well-groomed,' says Cindy Barshop, Manhattan-based hair removal guru to celebs and models. 'It's a cultural thing.'

These are parts of an article from Zap2it.com

After postponing the ceremony, originally scheduled for Sunday (Sept. 16), in the wake of Tuesday's terrorist attacks, CBS and academy representatives conferred for much of the week over when the ceremony should be held.

The only other time the Emmys have been delayed was in 1978, when the ceremony was held up for a short time to announce the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt.

Ellen DeGeneres will remain as host of the awards. The broadcast will air live at 8 p.m. ET (delayed on the West Coast) Sunday, Oct. 7 on CBS.

Its because of all the destruction in them, I completly understand.

LUCY LAWLESS: On "The Xena Files." You didn't know what it stood for all those years, did you? But, CHRIS CARTER's just been leading up to this moment where he could finally get the eponymous character in, and here in the ninth season, they've managed to carve away half of their budget to actually secure me for their opening couple of shows, so here I am.

"Mankind. That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it is fate that today is the fourth of July and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist! And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice, 'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!'"

Number three is "D�monicus," written and directed by Frank Spotnitz. The title is the Latin word for "Satan." The episode airs on Nov. 18th.

Season Nine opens with a two-parter, both jointly written by Chris Carter & Frank Spotnitz. The first show, entitled "Nothing Important Happened Today," is directed by Kim Manners and will air on Sunday, Nov. 4th. It will also feature the debut of the characters played by Cary Elwes and Lucy Lawless. Its conclusion, "Nothing Important Happened Today II," is directed by Tony Wharmby and will air on Nov. 11th.

Happy 36th birthday to Richard "Moby" Hall! A few of his songs have been used in X-Files episodes.

The project, which is being pushed by writer Glen Morgan and writer-director James Wong, has been making the pitch rounds at Revolution Studios, DreamWorks, Universal, Paramount and Miramax, courtesy of a new spec script that was included in a cage with live rats.

Plans for the project are to shoot on a modest budget in the $19-20M range. The original film, which starred Bruce Davison (X-MEN) in the title role, told the story of a young man victimized by his mother and the man he works for. Retreating emotionally into his own little world, Willard finds himself making pets of the hundreds of rats that occupy his old, rotting house. Initially, he trains them for fun and companionship, but he soon directs his anger at others through the rats teaching them to attack on command.
(Note from Rachael: Remember? Glen Morgan and James Wong used to work on The X-Files and Millennium. They wrote some of the best and classic episodes)

Spotnitz added, "There are a lot of questions about the baby. OK, like, she and Mulder had sex, but she still was barren ... so how did that happen? ... What is the mystery of the baby? Why did the aliens hunt it down and then leave it? Can Scully be at peace with this question? I think that's the biggest issue. Then there's a bunch of new issues that spring up around that." The ninth season will feature many new story arcs, including one centering on former Xena: Warrior Princess star Lucy Lawless, who appears in the first four episodes. "Also, the Doggett-and-Reyes-versus-the-FBI [one], and is it safe to work at the FBI, given the fact that there seem to be aliens walking around the corridors?" Spotnitz asked. "There were a lot of immediate things we knew we had to attend to our first day back at work."

Spotnitz also hinted that the show's signature motto, "The truth is out there," may change. "I think that's going to happen," he said. "You'll see changes there. You'll see a number of changes, actually, which I can't divulge yet. Keep your eyes open, don't go to the kitchen. We'll reward you if you're patient." The X-Files returns Nov. 4.
