AOLR Weekly Wrap-Up #25

Happy 2010, everyone — I hope the New Year will be an amazing one for you all and that your wildest dreams will come true (yes girls, even that one)!

• To start the brand new decade off appropriately with some gorgeousness, take a look at the latest gallery additions: I’ve added an Alex O’Loughlin Fan Art section that contains some very cool wallpapers and banners created by the very talented Fever, Lucky and Pinkiepie. For chuckles, check out the contributions from the fandom’s undisputed Queen of Snarks, Gothmyst. She’s often irreverent and always very, very funny! Please credit these ladies appropriately should you use any of their work publicly. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome creations with us — you rock!
• For some more fun, watch the latest YouTube video by Labormieze. She has the strange symptoms that all Alex O’Loughlin fans have in common and consulted with Andy Yablonski, M.D. about the best treatment. Not sure she’s all that happy about his recommendation, though. Great job, Labor – keep them coming!
• Matt Mitovich answered a question from a fan about the unaired Three Rivers episodes on his FanCast.com blog:
  

  I’m still miffed that ‘Three Rivers‘ was canceled. Are we ever going to see the unaired episodes? – Stephanie

  At this time CBS has no plans to burn off those last episodes. But knowing how avid Alex O’Loughlin’s fans can be, I’m actively laboring to get him a new gig. The first show in my crosshairs: NBC’s ‘Chuck.’ “That could be very good,” Yvonne Strahovski concurred when I suggested that her longtime Aussie pal drop by, perhaps as a new dude to make Chuck jealous. “Yeah, that’s a fun idea!” she added. Hey, I’m trying.

• You may recall a picture of Alex with two little girls that appeared on Twitter late July. It was taken on the last day of shooting The Back-up Plan in NYC (July 25th), but no other information was available at the time about who the girls were. As it turns out, they’re Cailin and Hannah Loesch, 12 year-old twins who appear in the movie as background actors (in all likelihood the playground scene in the park where Stan chats with Anthony Anderson’s character about the joys of fatherhood). Thanks to Bianca for sharing the link!
• I’ve added large versions of the Spanish and Vietnamese posters to The Back-up Plan gallery as well as a couple of logos.
• The international release dates for The Back-up Plan have been updated. However, these are not set in stone and some may still change ;-). More will be added as we get closer to April. Many thanks to Nadioz for providing the latest information.
• The poster contest that Jarett Wieselman mentioned last week has been posted on Facebook. Only US residents are eligible to participate and the sweepstakes end on January 4th at 2:01 a.m. PST.
• Thanks to all who voted for the Donate Life Rose Parade float today as the Viewers’ Choice. It looks like the Cal Poly Universities’ entry is set to win, but the Donate Life float did win the Theme Award (Excellence in Presenting Parade Theme)! Congratulations!
• TV Guide posted an interview with The Shield creator Shawn Ryan early December. Although Alex isn’t mentioned, it’s still an interesting read for fans who enjoyed the show.
• And to close, two posts from last week that you’ve probably seen about the unlikelihood of Moonlight being resurrected. Check out E! Online and BuddyTV!

That’s it for now. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and let’s make 2010 a great year!
