"Celebrity brainiacs from David Duchovny to singer Vanessa Williams have signed
up to test their smarts--or thoroughly embarrass themselves by choking--on an upcoming celeb edition of ABC's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

"After recruiting quiz-show addict (and queen of all things trivial) Rosie O'Donnell, ABC confirmed five more stars for its shows, set to air during May sweeps [it will
be taped on April 7]. Williams, X-Files G-man Duchovny, former Saturday Night Live funnyguy Dana Carvey and CBS sitcom star Ray Romano have agreed to take the hot seat for Millionaire, and donate their winnings to charity."

"Regis Philbin also roped in his outgoing talk-show compatriot Kathie Lee Gifford (pick a lifeline--Frank or Cody?) to take a chance with the ratings Goliath.
Network spokeswoman Pat Preblick says they're still working on getting Drew Carey, as well as three more celebs to round out the lineup--all of whom will be
announced in the coming weeks. "

Don't forget to tune in to VH1's Top Ten Countdown to see DD at 10am and again at 5pm.  If you miss those, don't worry, because it re-runs a couple more times, so check your local listings!

Also, DD will be appearing on the Late Late Show with Craig Kilbourne on April 14th!  I've also added this to the appearances page.

And one good rumor mill tidbit--I hear Fox may be closing in on a decision on the show.  It's about time!
   

"David Duchovny announced over the weekend that wife Téa Leoni will be featured in an April episode of The X-Files.  The premise of the episode is
that Skinner sells a story to Hollywood based on one of Mulder and Scully's cases; Leoni and Garry Shandling play Scully and Mulder in the 'Hollywood' version. 'It's [about] the difference between "reality" — TV reality, as opposed to
Hollywood reality,' Duchovny tells TV Guide Online. He adds that he's still not sure whether he'll return for another season of Files. 'I don't see any reason, aside
from making money, for the show to go on. There's really no creative challenges left."

Ultimate TV has announced that DD's father, Amram Ducovny, who leaves the “h” out of his last name, has written his first novel, “Coney,” scheduled for release in September by Overlook/Penguin, according to the New York Post. 

En Ami ratings:  "The X-Files"ended the evening with a 9.3/13 (9.1/13) beginning at 9 p.m."
   

First off, lots of DD appearances coming up, plus one from Mitch Pileggi!  Read the list on the Appearances Page.

There is an article in the NY Times where GA talks about her episode All Things. Heed this spoiler warning before you click on the link!  I was reading along all nice and innocently when I hit around the middle and had to do a fast skim. *L* It's an interesting interview, so you can go here to read it.

Yesterday I had found an excerpt from the Shiban interview in Cinescape, but you can read the entire interview here.

_____

Also, Amazon is now allowing pre-orders for the Return to Me soundtrack which you can see here.

I also updated the airing schedule, which is always subject to change, but this is the current projected line-up.
   

A little while back we found out that the comic book creators of Harsh Realm were suing CC to have their names added to the credits, and it just so happens that they won.  "The ``inspired by'' credit must run in proximity to the ``Created by Chris Carter'' credit, the judge ruled.
   

I also found a tidbit about the Lone Gunmen spinoff at Cinescape which says that "scheduled production dates for the pilot, which will shoot in Vancouver, will be shooting from March 20 to April 7, 2000."
   

And the Grammy Goes To... 

"Besides tossing five bucks into your office's 'Which NFL Star Is Going to the Chair First?' pool, few things in life are more entertaining than an interview with David Duchovny, and the proof is in the March Maxim. 'Just shoot me from a distance. And get the laser dot on my head, 'cause I want to go quickly,' says the second-wryest Dave in TV land, when asked what should happen if he's spotted at an X-Files convention 30 years from now. Duchovny also chimes in on the new Bree Sharp song, 'David Duchovny (Why Won't You Love Me).' 'I thought it was funny,' D.D. says, adding that wife Tea Leoni got a touch of envies. 'I wish someone would write a song about me,' she apparently told Duchovny. 'So,' he says, 'we wrote, 'Tea Leoni (Why Don't You Blow Me)' together. It's a
beautiful tune.'"
   

Last night Extra had an interview with Carol O'Connor and they showed some clips of him with DD and Minnie in Return to Me, so I grabbed a few snappies which you can see HERE.

Also, I hope everyone enjoyed the Frank chat last night.  Look for the full transcript soon!

And since I've been asked a couple times, here's a note about spoilers on this site.  While I undeniably have heard some juicy spoilers through this season, I've tried to keep my distance.  The reason for that is simply this:  if it is the last season, I want a few good surprises before the finale airs.  Although it's tempting, the farthest I go is a few pictures from Foxflash, which aren't too terribly revealing.  So that is why you don't find an abundance of spoiler news here, albeit I do indulge occasionally. :o)
   

HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Fox Broadcasting Co. has greenlit a drama pilot for an "X-Files" spinoff based on the Lone Gunmen characters seen from time to time on the series.

The new show will likely feature the actors who play the paranoid
characters now seen on "X-Files," though no deal has been completed.
"X-Files" creator Chris Carter is on board to produce the pilot for next
season.

The "Gunmen" deal is unrelated to talks regarding another season of
"X-Files." An outcome on those negotiations is expected in the next few
weeks.

Also, over at Eonline, they have put up the "Top 10 Aborted Tv Shows" and Harsh Realm comes in at number 9.  Read about it HERE.

Art Directors Guild Announces Nominations for Its 1999 Film and TV Awards;
Ceremonies to Take Place Feb. 26.  The X-Files is nominated for "Amor Fati." 
(Thanks again, Ivan!)

The Official Site has added a very interesting Samantha timeline with additional images, captions and video.  It's definatley worth a visit!

And look in the new  TV Guide for a close-up on Sein Und Zeit and a new print ad. I'll get a scan as soon as possible!
  

I added this on the front page as well, but check out the Official Site for 6-7 new pictures from SUZ.

A post on Spoilerville has declared that DD will be appearing on Leno on March 23rd for Return to Me's promotion.

And on an extra note, while we're completely obsessive, hard-core fans of The X-Files, it's important to give it's cast and crew the privacy they deserve.  Displaying pictures of the cast's children, such as Madeline or Piper, is truly not acceptable, and the one picture of Piper I had put up so long ago that a magazine had published has been removed for good.  If your site has any of these pictures, I urge you to do the same.  Actual cast and crew of the X-Files should be recognized, but not those who are not involved by choice.
    

Also from the site, it takes a look at Sc-Fi show ratings for the week of Jan 23rd:

3rd Rock from the Sun (6.7/4th); Buffy the Vampire Slayer (5.3/5th);
Angel (4.8/5th); 7 Days (2.8/6th); Roswell (3.6/6th); Star Trek Voyager
(5.7/4th); Charmed (5.0/6th); Sabrina the Teenage Witch (12.0/2nd);
Now and Again (9.0/4th); and The X-Files (13.8/4th).

Don't forget to tune in to Fox at 9 p.m. EST tonight to check out the GA clips.  Hopefully I can get out of Chem lab early...as long as I don't blow up the lab trying. ;o)  The weekend is almost here--have a good one!
   

For the UK viewers, the BBC1 will be airing Dreamland and Dreamland II for a special two hours on the 26th.

Fox has also released a press release about their 150th episode, X-cops, and some about Closure and First Person Shooter.  (I'm guessing Pilot isn't included in the count or Closure would be the 150th.)
   

The other big appearance news is that DD will be on Jay Leno on January 31, 11:35 pm EST on NBC.  So set your VCR's!

Check out the Official Site for new pics and info if you don't mind spoilers!  There's really no need for me to go into great detail about their info since it's just as easy to go there and read what the hard-working Fox employees are adding.  They have some tiny pics and some media clips, plus lots of written info.  I'm making a wild assumption that they're beefing up the place for Feb sweeps, but we'll see if it lasts--I certainly hope so! 

The Golden Globes are tonight--not exactly an exciting piece of news for philes since XF received no nominations--but if you would like to look at the categories and nominees to see who's replaced our show's spots, go HERE.

And one last good piece of news to mention is that TV Guide has set up a live chat with Vince for 2/17 at 8:00 pm.  I did double check the TV Guide site, but I couldn't find him listed, so I'm hoping this ends up to be true!  I'll give you more info as I find it.  Until then, enjoy tonight's new episode and have a safe week!
    

There is some new buzz from USA Today that David Duchovny will be directing another episode.  There are hopes that this will guest star his wife, Tea Leoni, and Garry Shandling.  That would make an interesting X-File, so we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Good news for the UK!  The first episode of season seven, 6th Extinction,   will be broadcast on
March 19, 2000 at 9PM on SkyOne.
  

There's more news tidbits today on the talks about the show's eighth season.  Here's an exerpt from CNN----->

"CNN reported today that FOX plans to carry on with an eighth season of The
X-Files with or without Duchovny. It is also reported that FOX executives are doing everything they can (including increasing his salary by almost double) to entice him to stay. Gillian Anderson, of course, is contracted through the eighth season regardless."

Well, if I were Gillian hearing that I would not be a happy camper.   The other rumor floating through is a spin-off series.  Here's the exerpt from the article:

"Meanwhile, Carter and company is said to be exploring other options that will keep at least one facet of their franchise cash cow going on the network. This is the oft-rumored Lone Gunmen spin-off TV series which would take the three oddball characters into their own regular adventures. The potential series is said to now be in development by Carter with Frank Spotnitz,
Vince Gilligan and John Shiban. Back in October, Carter participated in chats through the X-Files
official website and revealed that he had been considering this series idea. Odds are that if
Duchovny chooses to stay the course and leave, the new series would be put on the fast track, though time will tell."

So in lieu of all of these talks, I've added a new poll about this season eight--what do you think will happen?  Simply vote below:

At the top of the news, another article has come out about the X-Files' possible eighth season.  Read what TV Guide reported from Fox Television Entertainment Group President Sandy Grushow.

Also, good news for Harsh Realm fans!  It looks like FX will be picking up the nine episodes of which six were unaired.  Look for them in March plus some possible speculation that FX will pick up the series.

I've updated the Airing Schedule through 7ABX15 which is possibly the Gillian directed episode that has been rumored.  Lets hope so!  The other rumor that may have everyone's attentions is the fact that Gillian might be playing the role of Clarice in Silence of the Lamb's sequel, Hannibal.   While that would be great, I don't know how believable this one may be.  Just in a recent interview with Jodie Foster on 60 Minutes II, she claimed that she had not turned down the role and instead was waiting for the script before making the decision.   Plus, if Jodie Foster did turn it down, it's rumored that they are looking toward...(yes, this is scary)...Calista Flockhart.  So I strongly recommend to not believe everything you hear, but clearly I would love it if Gillian did land the role.

And for a little spoiling of Feb sweeps, the Official Site has added a video clip from SUZ
    . 

Right off the top for today's episode, "Millennium," FX will be airing certain episodes from Chris Carter's other series, Millennium, from 12 noon right up until 9 o'clock when the X-Files comes on.  This is to help those who never watched Millennium to get a better idea of what the mythology in the X-Files episode "Millennium" is all about.  Also, there have been some pretty good spoilers about the end of the episode which you can find more on the Spoilers Page.  There is also a very good article about Millennium  posted on the National Post--but be warned--more spoilers!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who became completely charmed with the ending of 6th Extinction II: Amor Fati, but it turns out, because of Gillian's sudden hair-style change, the ending had been changed recently.  Read the other "Amor Fati" ending at About.com.

Also, an added note--a few days ago, on the 23rd, I was flipping through the channels when the show Extra caught my attention.  They were reporting in a helipcopter showing us different star's houses, and then they showed a shot of David Duchovny's place in Malibu--telling us it was worth 2.7 million dollars and how many bedrooms it had and what not.  So here's a alert for all the DD fans out there in case you catch the re-runs!

And yes, by some miracle, the airing schedule is finally updated.  ;o)  And don't forget to check out the Spoilers--a very interesting one passed by me this afternoon.
     

And 6th Extinction fared well in the Nielson ratings coming in at 12.5/17 which placed FOX in third place for Nov sweeps.

Chris Carter 'Harsh' Talk.  CC makes some well-deserved comments toward Fox about his Harsh Realm cancellation which is featured at Cinescape.

Alert for Playstation owners!  I  noticed the new commercial for the Playstation version of the X-Files Game--so it's out and for sale!

Be sure to pick up the Nov. 6th edition of TV Guide with Regis Philbin on the cover.  There's supposed to be an X-Files centerfold, and as soon as I buy one I will scan the picture for you to see.
   

TV Guide chat with Chris Carter on October 28 (9.30 pm/ET US).  He'll probably have some things to say about HR. 

Added a couple of new juicy spoilers to the Season Seven Spoilers Page.
  

Bree Sharp will perform her hit song "David Duchovny" on Sept 14th's Live with Regis and Kathy Lee

William B. Davis will be making an appearance on Oct 19-21: (from alt.tv.x-files) "Davis will be appearing on the floor at Wescon, San Jose [California] Convention Center, October 19-21. His
appearance is billed as just hanging around, doing autographs, photos, etc. Wescon is an electronics
conference. The whole convention this year has an X-F theme, from the theme 'Something's Out
There You Can Use' to '"X"citing things to look forward to at Wescon/99.'"

Harsh Realm is featured is TV guide's Fall preview.  Read the article and look at the picture.  Also, CC speaks out about Harsh Realm in Mr. Showbiz.
