Xena-do

"No hugs please and don't bring me your babies - I'm not Jesus." It's a bizarre but necessary disclaimer from Lucy Lawless as she faces 300 of her biggest fans at the annual Xena Convention in London.Lawless, 40, comes on stage to a rapturous standing ovation after an introduction featuring a montage of Xena clips set to the song Sisters are Doing it for Themselves. The attendees line up to ask Lawless questions, everything from "what is your guilty pleasure?" to, "have you ever thought about doing Xena, the musical?" Lawless spends more than two hours with her fans. At all times, she is polite, entertaining, engaging and seems to hold a genuine affection for this dedicated group. She speaks French to the French fans and asks one of her aides to help with sign language for one of her deaf fans.This is the 13th Xena convention. Lawless has appeared at most of them, but is still amazed at the level of attention. "It's a crazy thing. I didn't know what to expect from an English audience," she admits. "They've come from all over, from Brazil and Spain and it's unbelievable, but it's nice to connect with them because they are good fans," she says.




This convention is one of the few to be held outside America, but the fans still arrive in their droves, many of them wearing T-shirts adorned with her image. There's even a brave handful dressed in Xena costumes which they've painstakingly made themselves. "It's really humbling to be up there," says the Kiwi star. "They are not complete morons these people, they have perfectly full lives but there is something child-like in someone who is allowing themselves to be like that so you don't want to squish that," she says.Xena: Warrior Princess debuted on television screens in 1995. A spin-off from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, it quickly gained a huge international audience and cult following. It also made Lawless a household name. She played Xena for six years, winning an especially loyal following among the gay community who were intrigued by her ambiguous relationship with her travelling companion, Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor).The show ended seven years ago, but her relationship with it has done anything but. "It was just a gig to me, but I am so grateful for everything it gave me. It gave me a husband (executive producer Rob Tapert), it gave me my kids (sons Julius, 8, and Judah, 6; she also has daughter Daisy, 19, from her first marriage), good times, great friends and six magical years," says Lawless.She quickly moved on to more TV and film work, and other obsessive fans. Lawless spent two years as Cylon infiltrator D'Anna Biers in the sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica.

Second Sex and the City movie planned?

Plans are already underway to make a second 'Sex and the City' movie, according to reports.
Producers are said to be so confident that the big screen adaptation will be a box office success that they are already beginning negotiations with its stars for the follow-up.
According to the Daily Mail: "The producers are already working on a script for a second movie, they are so convinced the first will be a hit.
"They are exercising the sequel option in all of the stars' contracts. They want it to be a franchise and think they can stretch it over at least three movies."

For often overly long, the fable of Long Gospel According to John Hunter has largely been a local ane, limited to the bordertown part betwixt El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. That's where the guitar player reigned for 13 age (beginning in 1957) at Juarez's notorious Lobby Bar. Its profuse, a great deal brawling clientele included locals, cowboys, soldiers from nearby Fort up Bliss, frat boys, and every variety of troublemaking holidaymaker in between. Hunter kept 'em altogether amused with his outrageous showmanship and slashing guitar riffs.


The Louisiana native got a tardily come out up on his musical comedy career. When he was 22 and laboring away in a Beaumont, TX box manufactory, he tended to a B.B. Rex show and was now mesmerized. The next solar day, he bought a guitar. A year by and by, he was leading at the saame bAR that B.B. had headlined.


Hunter's 1954 debut unmarried for Don Robey's Houston-based Duke label, "She Used to Be My Woman"/"Looney Child," preceded his displace to El Paso in 1957. Along the way, Phillip Baby-walker and Lonnie Brooks both picked up on his licks. Just Hunter's recording end product was slim -- a few hot just vague singles waxed from 1961 to 1963 for the petite Yucca logotype come out of Alamogordo, NM (standouts let in "El Paso Rock," "Midnight Perambulation," and "Border Town Blues"). Perchance he was simply to a fault occupy -- he held tribunal at the Lobby seven nights a workweek from sundown to aurora.


Fortuitously, Hunter's reputation is at last outgrowing the Lone Star state. His 1992 dress for the now-shuttered Spindletop imprint, Ride With Me, got the ball roll. Now, his 1996 dish for Gator, Edge Town Legend, should break this Texas vapours great to a far wider (if non thornton Thornton Wilder) sense of hearing than of wholly clock time before.
