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

Friday 30 January @ 10:47PM
I have been asked to help promote Michelle's new movie, Eurotrip. So I have lots of goodies for you all. By clicking on the banner below you can visit brand new sites which are part of the original Eurotrip Movie Site. Some of the material is worth watching so check it out. Be warned that it is viewable for fans who are 18 years and over (banner moved to top of the page, above updates).

Onto other site news; there are a bunch of new images from the Golden Globes After Parties, they have been added to the gallery as have more High Quality Candids (2001 Saturn Awards, Tomb Raider, The Mummy, Make-up and Hairstylists, St. Jude Gala, Buffy Posting Board, WB All Star and The Lion King). I have added a few new videos to the media section, just of the Buffy season five, six and seven credits. More will be coming soon. As promised I also have changed the setups for This or That and the weekly poll.

[Edit] For all American Michelle fans; the premiere for Eurotrip will take place on Tuesday February 17th 2004 @ 6.30pm at Mann's Village & Bruin Theatres, 961 Broxton Ave in Westwood. So if you live in the area and are going to attend drop me a line I'd love to see some fan taken photos! [/Edit] More updates and additions to the site soon!

Wednesday 28 January @ 2:32PM
More images have been added to the Golden Globes After Parties gallery; it turns out that Michelle also attended the one held by InStyle magazine. Many of the new ones are much better in size and quality. I am sure more will come soon! More High Quality Candids (Bogart Backstage, Buffy the Musical, Burberry Opening, Summer Catch and Motorola Hard Candy) have been added as well as several more images to both the Return of the King and Motorola Toys for Tots galleries :) More updates and additions soon!

Tuesday 27 January @ 5:14PM
Even more classy images from the Golden Globes Glamour Miramax Party have been added. Michelle is so pretty :) Hopefully more pics from the event soon - some good quality ones, they'd be great. As promised some more High Quality Candids (this time Austin Powers, 2002 Saturn Awards, Clockstoppers, One Seven Opening and Harry Potter) have been added.

As usual I have changed the Picture of the Week and Quote of the Week, and the setups for This or That and the weekly poll will be changed on Thursday, so get your votes in! I have added and accepted two new affiliates; Just Johnny and Christina Ricci Fan. The videos are coming, I promise... soon! I have so much to add but I am slowly getting there, keep checking back for new stuff and enjoy the gallery additions.

Monday 26 January @ 11:24PM
Michelle attended the 2004 Golden Globes Glamour Miramax After Party. Doesn't Michelle look gorgeous!? Not many images have been released as yet. But I am sure there will be more tomorrow! :)

Also I have added even more High Quality Candids (Saturn Awards, Blue Crush and Teen Choice 2002). More of these will be coming next update. Also a little piece of info, the Eurotrip trailer has been spotted on television - so if you haven't seen it yet keep your eyes open, I have had reports of it being aired on several channels! There hasn't been anymore recent news other than the Globes attendance; so I'll leave you all to enjoy the pictures.

Sunday 25 January @ 9:38PM
Word is Six Feet Under has begun filming its new season in Vancouver, Michelle is said to appear in episodes 3-6 (four in total) so I bet it won't be long before we see the episodes! Onto other site updates... I have added more High Quality Candids (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, 2002 Dream Halloween, Chanel Chance Launch and Abandon) and some new pictures to the 2003 Emmy Awards gallery.

I haven't got the sound on the videos to work yet - but I am trying to fix it; as soon as I have I'll upload and add the videos in. Oh and to answer the questions of several fans, I am not sure if Michelle attended any parties for the Golden Globes - she did attend last year so it is possible. I guess we will find out soon, if so I'll definitely have pictures. I will have more news, updates and site additions (including the new filmography) next update! :)

Friday 23 January @ 4:23PM
The Official Eurotrip website now has a new section called Games and Downloads. There you will find two games as well as a couple of wallpapers (various sizes both featuring Michelle) and several AIM icons (one with Michelle). Also there is a new little Michelle pic on the site in the right hand corner. All the Michelle related media - the wallpapers and icons have been added in the extras section.
 

To the gallery I have added more High Quality Candids (this time from Emmy Awards, Buffy Wrap Party, Bringing Down the House and A Guy Thing), this brings the total image count to over 10,000! Yay! I haven't yet had a chance to work on the video clips but hopefully I will tonight; if I do I'll edit this update and add them in. I also added a little section for the UK Michelle fans to the TV Schedule. More soon!

Thursday 22 January @ 2:10PM
More High Quality candids images have been added (Hollywood Awards Gala and The Singing Detective). Although I promised video clips I couldn't get the sound to work on them, so I'll have to fix that and hopefully they'll be up tomorrow.

I found a little more info on the Eurotrip release dates. It turns out that the movie title Off the Map (or Off The Mat) is in fact the New Zealand title for Eurotrip. The movie is expected to be released on June 3rd. I am not completely sure if this info is correct but I hope to verify it soon. I haven't found any other release dates as yet.

I also changed the setups for This or That and the weekly poll. Please go vote! I am working on the filmography right now so some of the new version may be viewable soon. Also over the next couple of weeks I'll be adding high quality caps from Buffy (all episodes not just Dawn related ones). More site additions, news and updates soon! :)

Wednesday 21 January @ 2:29PM
Dreamworks Pictures has released an International Featurette which compiles several scenes from the movie. The clip has a few of Michelle scenes from the movie so if you don't want to be spoiled don't watch! I'll add caps tomorrow! The featurette is un-rated and contains some nudity, so if it offends you have been warned. The video can be played in either Windows Media Player or Quicktime so chose your resolution and program below.

Window Media: Hi-Res | Mid-Res                       Quicktime: Hi-Res | Mid-Res

Onto other news there has been several new pieces added to the press section: Calling All Skaters (open call for female figure skaters aged 12 to 17 to appear in Michelle's new movie Ice Princess, so if you fit the criteria and are interested be sure to check it out, all the information is there), Six Feet Dawn (for the third episode in the arc it is speculated that Michelle's character Celeste will be appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show) and TV Gal Frets for Underused Characters.

To the gallery I added the next batch of High Quality Candids (Women In Entertainment Power 100 Breakfast, VH1 Big in '03 and The Cat in the Hat) and some rare caps from a TV special, E! The Ones The Emmy's Forgot. Enjoy! Accepted and added one new affiliate; Boombustic.com and also updated with one new entry to the fanlisting. Don't forget This or That and the weekly poll will be changed tomorrow so keep the votes rolling in. Also some of the promised video clips will be added as well as more of the high quality appearance candids. So look out for those!

Tuesday 20 January @ 1:55PM
Two press releases and one article have been added to the press section: Dawn of the Disney, Change afoot on Six Feet Under (thanks to JSmith for sending this in) and Spring Movie Sneak Peek. There is a small Michelle mention in People Magazine's Best and Worst 2003 issue; just some info about Six Feet Under and a tiny picture.

I have added a new video compilation from the Eurotrip trailer (made by Jok1) to the media section. It's a great watch! The videos I promised will be coming soon! I am working night shifts for the start of this week but as soon that is done I'll add the clips. Also I have got some brand new event photos - I have started adding these (at the moment Toys for Tots and Return of the King) and I'll add some more each update. Many of these are rare and they are all in fantastic quality.

I changed the  Picture of the Week and Quote of the Week, and the setups for This or That and the weekly poll will be changed later this week - so get voting! I have added new entries to Capture Michelle, pen-pals and song dedications.  Also to the contest winners - I'll add your prizes to the server over the next few days and I'll contact you all as soon as it is done, thanks for being so patient! More updates and news tomorrow!

Saturday 17 January @ 12:19PM
Michelle is mentioned in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly. It is just a small piece which confirms Michelle's role in Six Feet Under. Thought it might be of interest. Also if you check out the MTV article on the Echo video clip you'll see it has been edited to say 'new friend' instead of 'current girlfriend'. So maybe Michelle and Chris are just friends. Who knows!? Onto site updates; in the media section I have added the Bikini Video in another format (.mpg) as by request of a few fans. Plus to the gallery several new High Quality images (from Return of the King, Women's Power Breakfast 100 and Motorola Toys for Tots). These are great poses so enjoy!

Added new entries to Capture Michelle and song dedications, accepted one new affiliate Nicole's Magic. I also updated the biography section slightly as well - so it is a little more upto date. The filmography section will be getting a complete re-haul as well! If anyone wants to submit their own versions of the biography or anything else for that matter please do, I'd love to add anything submitted by other fans. Also I am looking to expand my personal Michelle video collection (as well as adding more caps, videos, sounds so other fans can enjoy too) so if anyone has any appearances (either TV or movie) and would be willing to send I'd be forever grateful, so please contact me.

Starting Monday I will be adding video clips from quite a bit of Michelle's work: season one of Truth or Scare (not the entire episodes just Michelle's scenes for the fans who don't get to see the show), the TV movie Christmas In My Hometown, as well as some E! specials (and the news part from earlier this week). Reminder that these will be added over time not all at once. I don't think my server could handle that much. So look forward to that next week! More updates soon!

Thursday 15 January @ 7:39PM
Michelle completed negotiations with HBO and she will be appearing in four episodes of Six Feet Under in the new season. As soon as I get more information I'll be sure to post it. Also Michelle was on E! News Live a couple of days ago - I'll be adding a video clip and captures from the appearance next update.

Michelle's relationship with singer Chris Brown seems to have been confirmed. The couple attended the 2003 KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas concert together during mid December. Don't they great together!? :) Hopefully they'll both attend more appearances soon.

I re-designed the gallery; I think it looks a bit better now, more organised. It has a slightly different URL but I put a redirector on so there shouldn't be any problems. I hope you all like it. If you see any errors please let me know so I can fix them as soon as possible. I have also updated the Return of the King Premiere and Hollywood Awards Gala galleries too. As promised I changed the setups setups for This or That and the weekly poll. I also added one new article: Trachtenberg skates into 'Princess', it just gives a little more information on the Ice Princess movie. More updates and site additions will be coming soon!

Monday 12 January @ 3:10PM
Michelle is set to be Disney's 'Ice Princess' - Michelle will be starring in a new Disney film about a brainy ugly duckling who realizes her dream of becoming a champion figure skater with the help of physics, a disgraced coach, three snooty ice princesses, a chorus of stage parents and the hunky boy who drives the Zamboni ice resurfacing machine. The film is set to start production in late March or early April.

Michelle is also in talks for a four-episode arc on HBO's 'Six Feet Under.' She would play Celeste, a pop singer who is protected by Keith Charles (series regular Michael St. Patrick). Thanks to Ally, ScottH and Maria for this info. So much good work for our girl! Four movies and a possible TV appearance - great news! Hopefully we'll get some more confirmation on the projects soon. I added several new articles to the 2000, 2003 and 2004 sections (including the Trapt article and the press release on Ice Princess).

I finally added those Bikini Request Screencaps; go check those out and also updated the High Quality gallery. More images will be added next update, I am also re-designing the gallery so look forward to that. I also added a video clip of Michelle's appearance on MADtv, it is a must see - an amusing send up of Buffy. Also the larger version of the Eurotrip poster has surfaced I have uploaded that and you can find it by clicking here :)

Added four new affiliates: Irresistible (Michael Vartan), The Charisma Collective, Sweet and Talented, Jennifer Garner Fan and Goran Visnjic Zone. Updated several sections with new entries: Capture Michelle, fanlisting, pen pals, and song dedications. Also changed the Picture of the Week and Quote of the Week. The setups for This or That and the weekly poll will be changed next update - be sure to vote before then. Also for all the Buffy fans there has been a Michelle on Angel Petition started, so if you want to see Dawn on Angel be sure to sign. More updates soon!

Wednesday 7 January @ 6:42PM
Word is Michelle is dating singer/guitarist Chris Brown of Trapt. And yes she is in their new music video for the single Echo. I am not sure the exact date but it is confirmed for around late January. I wish Michelle and Chris all the best :) There was an article on the MTV website about the new release with a small Michelle mention, you can read it here: Trapt Feel The 'Echo' Of An Ex (for those who want to know Chris is on the far left in the photo).

Onto site stuff. I have updated several sections with new entries: Capture Michelle (I also chose a winner and started a new challenge), pen pals, song dedications and Gimme an 'M'. The gallery will be updated soon. I also added sounds from MADtv to the media section. If anyone missed Michelle's appearance yesterday send me a request and I'll add a video clip.

Also changed the setups for This or That and the weekly poll. Go vote! Loads more will be added next update - including images, sounds and videos, as well as a magazine article section plus smaller features. Watch out for that!

Monday 5 January @ 5:21PM

Sorry for taking so long to update! There was a server change, then the site disappeared. A whole lot of waiting was involved. But everything is better now! I hope everyone had a good holiday! :) Loads of updates. Finally a Eurotrip poster has been released! Yes it is actually that size. Hopefully a larger version will be available soon. Until then enjoy (that's it on the right). The media section has been updated with new videos from a series of season six Buffy UPN interviews. (I soon will also have sounds of Michelle on MADtv). Updated to the Magazine Scans section. More soon. As usual I updated the TV Schedule with all the television appearances for January - Michelle is on almost everyday! Be sure to tune in.

I changed the Picture of the Week and Quote of the Week, as well as the setups for This or That and the weekly poll. Go on and vote! A new site of the month has been awarded, congratulations to J-Alba Fan - go check it out, definitely one of the best Jessica sites online. Accepted and added four new affiliates: Latin Angel, Hear Say Germany, Jewelicious and Shannen Dream.

Also I received a large amount of requests for a video clip and caps of the 'Michelle in a bikini' scene so I have got both of those... video clip and the screencaps will be up next update. I have many more caps, videos, sounds etc to update with so look out for those as they'll be coming soon. I also have a whole bunch of new entries to add  - I'll do those next update. I hope everyone is having a great New Year! :)
