Hasn't Gillian Anderson seen "Alien"? Getting pregnant while promoting a movie about extraterrestrial life... that takes guts. The actress even walked the red carpet for "X-Files: I Want To Believe" with long-time TV costar David Duchovny.
Guess everyone's into aliens these days: The Roswell UFO Festival reported a 25 percent jump in attendance this year, while local hotels were sold out and the city moved $15,000 of merchandise over 4 days. In these recessionary times, are we counting on visitors from the sky to save us?
Fires are still tearing across Southern California, charring Malibu, Orange County and San Diego. Malibu's famous Castle Kashan was destroyed and the LG Beach House was damaged in the fires. But all the destruction isn't scaring "Californication" star David Duchovny, who's yet to evacuate his place. David Geffen is putting up firefighters for free at his Malibu Beach Inn.
In San Diego, most attractions have closed down as residents evacuate. The zoo has suffered some damage, and officials say the animals "are alert but are not showing behaviors of concern. The animals seem to know when they are in immediate danger and when they are not." Meanwhile Qualcomm Stadium is becoming a latter-day Superdome, as locals and tourists alike wait out the fires burning all around them.
We have exciting same-day news: today Good Luck Chuck will be filming at the Coal Harbour Community Center today, so those who want to head over have a good shot at a Dane Cook or Jessica Alba sighting. Bring your cameras, but remember, don't make her mad! She bites.
Once again, the movie and celebrity action is concentrated in the West End, which we are sure is a lovely place, but c'mon, Vancouverites - let us know about other awesome neighborhoods in your fair city! David Duchovny arrived early in Vancouver to check out the scene before he starts work on Things We Lost in the Fire, while Pierce Brosnan just keeps on charming the locals. He's even doing the men of Vancouver a favor by introducing his reportedly comely assistant to all and sundry. Thanks, Pierce!
Remember to zoom in on the map - with so much happening in one neighborhood, it's easy to miss a map point.
