Archive - February 2004
Here is the site updates archive for the month of February 2004 - this includes all the site updates and lastest news.

Tuesday 24 February @ 7:00PM
'But if you love an actress, you respect their choices and go along for the ride. If you follow me to my next project, great, if you don’t, so be it.'

Right on Michelle! :) With thanks to the gracious Victoria of Rose McGowan Fan, we have a fantastic video clip and screencaps of an E! News Weekend segment, it features Eurotrip behind the scenes, some parts of the movie and a little interview part from Michelle (its from the Eurotrip production interview). Enjoy :) And go and visit Victoria's site, it is definitely worth it. I have changed the Picture of the Week and Quote of the Week. Also several new articles have been added to the press section:

Humor isn't a foreign idea in the loopy 'Eurotrip'
Sexy Career Strategies
Buffy's Dawn Enters New Era in Eurotrip
A Jokey Quest for Eurosex, Riding a Wave of Alcohol
Fantasy Icons Return to the Big Screen in Eurotrip!
Michelle Trachtenberg: Transition to Hottie

The new gallery design will probably be done over the weekend, I don't have the time right now after university each day. More updates and site additions will be coming soon. :)

Monday 23 February @ 5:37PM
The first part of the Fuse IMX interview is up. You can find it under the media section. It is a good watch Michelle discusses shooting Eurotrip on location in Prague (including keeping herself in, wardrobe malfunctions; lol once you watch it you'll understand), previous visits to Europe and the music which was played while the cast were filming. Part two of the interview will be up tomorrow I hope :)

Also with big thanks to Lorne we now finally have some captures of Michelle on the WPIX New York Morning News, doesn't Michelle look glamorous!? I adore what she is wearing, it is so classy! Hopefully some more captures soon. I have added one new article to the press section: Confessions 2nd, Eurotrip 5th at the Box Office (basically how well Eurotrip is doing business wise). I am still working on the gallery design, it is coming along slowly. Hopefully tomorrow when I have some more time I'll get it all finished. More updates and site additions soon, including the next video clip.

Sunday 22 February @ 12:25PM
Well she said she'd never appear in it. Michelle is featured in some gorgeous images from Maxim Online. I am fairly sure she hasn't posed for the magazine but it doesn't mean she won't in the future. These shots are similar to the Teen People shoot she did last year. Not exactly what you'd expect from Maxim (sorry guys) but it is our Michelle :)

Onto other site stuff! I have added some new images to both the Ryan Seacrest and Eurotrip premiere galleries. Go check them out. As promised I have added in those Eurotrip promo pack scans. DreamWorks Pictures has released a behind the scenes of Eurotrip interview with Michelle, it is really worth the watch (she chats about her cast members, the movie, her character Jenny and the relationship she has with Jamie), I have added the video clip to the media section for easy viewing and a bunch of captures to the gallery. Several new articles (interviews and reviews) have been added to the press section:

Michelle Gets Wild In Eurotrip (full version of the 'All Grown Up' article)
Kids Trash Europe On a Kooks' Tour
A Long Road For Few Laughs
'Eurotrip' is one Filthy Guilty Pleasure
Entertainment Weekly
Four Films to Split Box Office
Misadventures fill four teens' journey in Europe

I have updated a couple of the filmography sections to make them a little more recent (including news of Ice Princess, Mysterious Skin, Odd Girl Out and Six Feet Under, so go and see what's new).  The videos from Fuse's IMX will be coming soon, the files are really large so it is taking awhile to upload them but I'll do it soon or work out some other way to add them for you all. Maybe add a part each day? I am not sure. There are four in all. I'll have to figure something out. I am working on the new gallery design right now so that should be up soon or by next update. More site additions and updates soon :)

Friday 20 February @ 10:07PM
I have beautiful screencaps of Michelle on IMX (a music program on the channel Fuse). Unfortunately I was unable to get anything from either Cold Pizza or WPIX morning news (which airs tomorrow but the friend doing me caps and videos doesn't live in New York, but if you do and would like to make some caps or a video; or both please drop me a line!). 

I also have video clips from the appearance (which was around a 1/2 hour long) but those will be up over the weekend sometime I promise, otherwise it is an incredible lot of work at one time :) Huge thanks again goes to Doug (pluggola). I have added more images from the premiere of Eurotrip, gorgeous high quality versions. I have also been sent some fantastic scans from one of the Eurotrip promotional packs (thanks to Liz) These are basically larger versions of some of the promo images and they'll be added tomorrow. Eurotrip opens tomorrow in the United States, so support Michelle and her work and go see!

Two new articles have been added to the press section: Michelle Trachtenberg All Grown Up and 'Tripping' Was Never This Much Fun. Be sure to check those out. Last but not least I have changed the setups for This or That and the weekly poll, be sure to place your vote! In the coming days I am planning on re-vamping the gallery with a brand new design so look forward to that! More site additions and updates coming soon!

Thursday 19 February @ 9:29PM
A whole bunch of Eurotrip pics have been added :) Many of them! I can't help but like her 'canary-yellow' dress, it suits her! Several new pieces have been added to the press section: Eurotrip Bares It All, Eurotrip Review, CHUD Eurotrip Press Junket Interview (includes a lot more info on her upcoming roles) and Eurotrip Writer/Directors Interview. Eurotrip seems to be getting quite good reviews so far as has Michelle's performance.

Michelle is scheduled to be on the Cold Pizza morning show on ESPN2 on Thursday and the WPIX (New York) morning news on Friday. Thanks to Lorne for the headsup. I am trying to get some screencaps and videos made of the appearances, here's hoping. If you'd like to contribute anything please e-mail me! Be sure to watch! I have a lot more images, reviews and other new misc. stuff to add but its best to break it up a little, it makes it easier for me to update. More coming soon :)

Wednesday 18 February @ 10:14PM
The moment we have all been waiting for! The premiere of Eurotrip!! There are some really elegant, classy images from the event. From what I can see co-stars Lucy Lawless, Jacob Pitts, Jessica Bohrs, Scott Mechlowicz, Travis Wester and Molly Schade also attended as well as other various celebrities.

I posted the best pictures I had and more will be coming tomorrow!! Promise! If you have anything you want to send in please feel free, you will be fully credited! I will be posting reviews of the movie, more Eurotrip stills, more caps from On-Air with Ryan Seacrest and Sharon Osbourne soon. More updates tomorrow! :)

Tuesday 17 February @ 6:51PM
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous images and screencaps of Michelle on On-Air with Ryan Seacrest. I loved the ones of Michelle with Clay and Kelly. These are sensational! There is also a fantastic video clip available in the media section. Much thanks to Doug (plug)! In the appearance Michelle confirms Six Feet Under and Ice Princess (talks about her 'skating and pop princess lessons' for both as well). It's a fantastic watch for any Michelle fan! :)

Also a clip of Michelle's appearance on Sharon Osbourne has been added for all those (like me) who didn't get to see the interview, loved Michelle's impersonation of Sharon!! As usual I have changed the Picture of the Week and Quote of the Week. The Eurotrip premiere is tomorrow so I'll be adding a bunch of images from that I am sure. Enjoy all the caps and video, more tomorrow!

Monday 16 February @ 5:01PM
And drumroll! :) Michelle will be on another show! This time On-Air with Ryan Seacrest tomorrow (well by this date today but I am ahead in time and all that, so to make it clear she will appear on Monday 16th along with Clay Aiken and Kelly Clarkson). I am getting a video clip and screencaps from the appearance so as soon as I have them I'll update. Oh and Lucy Lawless will be on later in the week (on Friday) to discuss Eurotrip (like Michelle!)

You can submit questions and comments in hope that they'll be read out on the show so if you want to submit a question to Michelle just go to this link. I have submitted mine! You can still get last minute tickets as well so check that out too if you live in the air. Also they have a fantastic 'When it's On' section so you can find out when it will be on in your area, what channel etc. I will have the screencaps and clips sometime tomorrow, plus I will probably transcribe the interview as well :)

Sunday 15 February @ 12:15PM
Movie related news! Ice Princess will begin production on March 29 in Toronto, I am not sure if that means filming begins then or what. I presume Michelle would have to do some skating training too. Also the Official Eurotrip site has been updated again (with cast biographies, production notes, crew information, a press release for the soundtrack and a track listing). The soundtrack will hit stores on February 24. I'll post more news as I find it. Onto the site updates, I have added some great Eurotrip High Quality pics (a huuuggge version of the poster and a large still of one of the bikini pics).

I have also added a whole bunch of fan made art to the extras section plus some incredible Echo wallpapers (if the artist who made these, Angie could please e-mail me, your message accidentally got deleted!) Thanks. I have added a couple of new song dedications and one new entry to Capture Michelle as well. I have accepted one new affiliate: Chad Michael Murray Net. Count down begins!!! Five days to the release and just two days to the premiere! Whoo hoo! Not long to go now :) More updates soon!

Saturday 14 February @ 5:36PM
Happy Valentine's Day! :) Just a small update today! I have added the music video for Echo to the media section (much thanks to Neil for his help). Also I have finally finished the new version of the filmography. Not the entire section but the base pages that are separated into years (the ones with the little preview images at the top). It has a little more info and it is basically set out much, much better. I hope everyone likes it.

Also I found this great site which has some short scenes from Eurotrip. They are quick downloading as well. There are four scenes, one includes Michelle (the whole Jenny/Jamie, twins making out one). You'll have to watch them at the site though as they are streaming. Just six more days until it hits the cinemas! And three days to the movie premiere! Yay! :) (also I am interested in displaying fan reviews so if you would like to write one let me know!) More updates and site additions coming soon!

Friday 13 February @ 2:24PM

More fabulous screencaps of Michelle on The Sharon Osbourne Show. Doesn't she look pretty, she has incredibly good fashion sense (make sure you look at her shoes! They are the Manolo Blahniks she got for her birthday!) I have also added a new article to the press section, it is from Metro Point and Michelle discusses Eurotrip, college and life after Buffy. It's a good read!!!! :)  As usual I have also changed

the setups for This or That and the weekly poll make sure you place your vote! Also for all those who are interested, the venue for the Eurotrip premiere has been changed. Instead of being held at Mann's Village & Bruin Theatre in Westwood, it will now be at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. I have a lot more things to add but I'll leave those to next update. Enjoy the screencaps and article!

Wednesday 11 February @ 4:26PM
There is a fantastic preview clip of The Sharon Osbourne Show available online. Michelle looks incredible and the little commercial is funny. Don't forget to watch it tomorrow! (well according to the date today but I live in Australia so I am ahead in time) You can view the preview in either Windows Media or Real Player, Michelle's little ad is at the start :) I hope to get some more screencaps and possibly a video clip from the  actual show sometime tomorrow-ish. Once I get some media I'll add them when I can.

Also I must add a big thanks to the wonderful Victoria who made Delicate the site of the month at Rose McGowan Fan. Be sure to check out her site! And look at the pretty award! I also changed the Picture of the Week and Quote of the Week as usual - it's a little late. More updates and additions tomorrow!! Be sure to watch the interview - and if you have anything to contribute from the show please, please contact me!! Anything is greatly appreciated and credit will be given.

Monday 9 February @ 7:48PM
I was able to make a whole new batch of screencaps from the Echo Music Video, 130 in all and they are high quality versions in two different sizes (much better than the originals, much thanks to  Neil for taking the time to send me the video). Enjoy! I have also added one new promotional still from Eurotrip (look at Michelle's boots, I want a pair!!). I updated and added one new entry to the song dedications plus accepted one new affiliate: Foolish Heart (Joss Stone). That's is pretty much it as the Echo screencaps took forever to make so I hope you all like them! More updates and additions coming soon. I have some great surprises for next update! Have a great Monday (in the words of Elisha; inside joke!)

Saturday 7 February @ 10:33PM
The new Trapt video Echo has finally been released! Michelle looks gorgeous in the clip! :) The video features a guy (leader singer Chris Brown) who is singing about his ex-girlfriend (our lovely Michelle) who he hasn't gotten over yet even though he is with someone else. It's a fantastic clip and the song is pretty good too!

Well that was exciting! Lol. After all the waiting the video has finally been released. Be sure sure to check out the caps gallery; there are a lot more caps than what there is previewed above. As soon as I see it, I'll record and then I'll make some better screencaps, as well as videos and sounds. I have also added one new promotional still from Eurotrip (I haven't seen this one before!). Also be sure to check out the Official Eurotrip Website - they have updated with games, downloads and little scrapbook features; just click on the character icon at the top at you'll find info and descriptions - there is one for Michelle's character Jenny but you can check it out there!!

Oh and big news! :) Michelle will be appearing on The Sharon Osbourne Show on Wednesday February 11th. Check your local listings for times as they vary. I'll definitely get videos/screencaps. More updates will be coming soon!

Friday 6 February @ 7:37PM
'Michelle is incredible, she always gives you exactly what you need and more. She is really, really funny, and she is such a trooper.
- Jeff Schaffer, David Mandel and Alec Berg; writers of Eurotrip

Brand new Eurotrip promo stills have been released, including seven gorgeous ones of Michelle, make sure you check them out! It is definitely worth it! :) Also Dreamworks has written a making of piece, it includes a ton of info, including casting, filming, locations and much, much more (including the quote above). Enjoy! I have added some never before seen captures of Michelle on MADtv (her second appearance, yes there was one, she was interviewed not too long before her skit episode).

I have changed the setups for This or That and the weekly poll as usual. Go vote! Oh and for all interested Michelle will be in the next issue of the Official Buffy Magazine; sort of a life after Buffy thing, hopefully with some new images! Once the magazine is out I'll most definitely add scans. Plus The Watchers Guide Volume Three (official guide to Buffy) will be released on June 7th; you can pre-order from Amazon. Includes Michelle's seasons as Dawn. It's a long wait but keep it in mind. Lots more site additions and updates soon.

Wednesday 4 February @ 12:46PM
I am glad that everyone likes the new Eurotrip material, and thanks for all the positive feedback!! :) There are some new promo stills from the movie, including several of Michelle. I have added new images to the High Quality Candids gallery (Remember the Titans, Urban Legend, Glamour Pre-Emmy, The Kid, L.A. Education Awards and Dinosaur) and some great new caps from Meego. I have also added one new video to the media section (of Michelle being interviewed about Inspector Gadget).

I have added more entries to both the pen-pals and fanlisting sections and changed both the Picture of the Week and Quote of the Week. Accepted and added two new affiliates: Lindsay Lohan and Wade-Robson.org. I have updated the TV Schedule, archived the updates for January and awarded a new site of the month: Irresistible Michael Vartan. More site updates and additions coming soon including some fantastic new caps! A little off topic; but you should all go see the new Harry Potter trailer, its really a good watch :)
