In other news, Amy Acker has finally started eating again ^_^
That is good news. Congrats to her.

>>Re: Amy Acker is pregnant
>Source?
There are likely others, but this is from Whedonesque
http://whedonesque.com/
"Congratulations to Amy Acker. She revealed at the Metro Autographs
signing on August 21st that she's five and a half months pregnant with a
boy."
She apparently told store staff and several of the people in the
autograph/picture lines. General consensus seems to be that she isn't
showing at all.

For her? Yes, it is cool news, and if true (source?), I wish her
well. But for those of us hoping for a Spike and Illyria movie or
spinoff, not such cool news.

Yes it is. :) CONGRATULATIONS to the happy couple! Here's to the new
parents! Prayers and other well-wishs for a happy and healthly baby.
> That's cool news.
Wow, you don't hear any news about an actress for months and then
two news stories pop-up at once. Apparently she's going to be
supplying the guest voice of the Huntress on Cartoon Network's
Justice League.

There was no way that was going to happen anytime soon anyway.

So who's going to be the first one to spear a marshmallow on a knitting
needle and go "Look everybody!! It's Amy Acker!"
Okay, I'll quit. That's great news! Gonna be a kyoot baby I bet.
That was mean. And totally uncalled for given the happy news.
:Okay, I'll quit.
I'll guarantee it.
PLONK!

Hmmm. I'm trying to picture a tubby little Illyria here. Not sure
about that. CC in her black jet was spectacular, but the Keebler?
Not the same thing.
As to the timeline, if AA is 5 1/2 months along, that means 3 1/2
months until she gives birth, then add at least 2 months for her to
get back in shape (that costume is unforgiving) before she can even
start shooting. That means no TV movie for at least half a year.

It's risky to do things like that. Producers have tended to shy away
from it after Katey Sagal's pregnancy was written into Married With
Children.
Cheers

Hadn't they gone this route before with another character? Maybe I'm
just imaging something.
Hmm. Considering that she's five and a half months along, she may have
been expecting right near the end of the season.
Sincerely,

> CC in her black jet was spectacular, but the Keebler?
that is so totally uncalled for
Amy is a very nice person (I know this for fact having met her and
talked to her at length). It is disgustingly rude that folks can't show
her a bit of respect and insist on calling her names and dissing her
for being lucky enough to have a thin body without having to starve
herself half to death.
She came across to me also as a very nice person, and I don't mean only in
the show.
I also didn't think she was anorexic looking.

I think she appears to be very sweet and it's obvious she's very
beautiful and healthy. My knitting-needle comment was a JOKE,
incidentally, and I do happen to think she's a big enough girl to take a
little ribbing. I think people calling her anorexic are all utterly full
of crap.
Especially when they write the needling into the scripts on the show. If
she really had a problem with it, I'm sure they wouldn't do it.

Hello, Faith. Iąm‹
FAITH
Fred. Yeah, Wes kinda gave me the skinny on you.
FRED
(taken aback)
OhŠ
What's uncalled for? This is show based reference, one of Spike's
names for Illyria and her tree origin, and in no way a reference to AA
as a person...unless she actually is blue and lives in a tree.

Well she's so full-figured already, how could anyone tell? haw haw haw haw haw

Rose: Up to the minute postings, fair and balanced.
I dunno, as an ex-skinny person who was very sensitive to remarks people would
make about my being so thin, I think the ribbing on this thread has been good
natured. The marshmallow on a toothpick thing was cute. He wasn't saying mean
stuff like skinny women aren't real women, etc.
I hope my joke wasn't offensive. I think Acker is beautiful and I believe I've
always said so.
It worked ok on Criminal Intent.

Or the episode where she's looking at some of Cordy's fashion magazines
and says something along the lines of "I spent five years starving in a
cave! What's their excuse?"

Everytime there is a thread about Amy Acker - no matter how removed from her weight
the topic may start out to be - invariably, inedibility it ends up being how skinny she is.
It's tiresome.

About writing the needling into the show, and not doing it if the
actress really had a problem with it: it ain't necessarily so! At the
other end of the weight issue, Tracey Gold of "Growing Pains" blames
her well-publicized bout with anorexia back in the early 90s directly
on the number of fat jokes that were written in for her character
Carol. (Personally, I never thought she looked too overweight at the
time the jokes were going on.)
That actress didn't have a real life miscarriage halfway through the
story line. Katey Sagal did.

yes, and if you must comment on her looks, you should be commenting on
her character's appearance. its not that unflattering to be referred to
as a smurf if you have blue hair.. ;)

hell in some ways, that idea is Jasmine all over again.
if you go with the idea that some ancient demoness/goddess took over
Cordy's body to force the conception of a human baby that she could
jump into, thus giving herself the corporal form she needed to work her
wicked plan
ummm... that's sarcasm, right? because i'd hate to think that your final
question was asked in all seriousness. reality television... such a new,
non-derrivative genre...lol!

You are a bad man.
Everyone knows it should be a grape on a tooth pick.
it was a gag that spike has done almost everything angel has done, especialy
as the OP suggested that spike should have a baby, and what would the babies
name be? Conner the 2nd?

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a
mistake when you make it again.

Never mind Connor II. I'm trying to visualize Spike pregnant. Now
that would be worth at least a half season.

Second, as far as comments from the dark side, I was giggling for at
least a day after reading the "marshmallow on a knitting needle"
line....
agreed! i'm only new to this so i'm not yet good at picking it up, sorry! :)
