If you thought I was done giving you Heroes-related news, I have to wonder how well you know me. Sure, you may know my birthstone and my favorite drink, but that’s not all there is to me! (I am so MULTI-LAYERED that even I don’t remember my real name anymore.) Besides, any good obsession has to be nurtured, or it’s just not doing anything! ; ) So, here we go.

I found an article on Eonline.com where Hayden Panettiere, who plays Claire Bennet on Heroes, talks about why Claire probably won’t have a love interest on the show this year. Guess I wasn’t the only person who didn’t like West, huh? Normally I’m a romance junkie, but certain shows can do without it. Heroes is a show where romance only needs to factor in very slightly, and it needs to feel natural, not forced.

Then (as I was stumbling blearily through the jungle that is the Internet) I found an interview between Milo Ventimiglia and Ryan Higa. If you’ve ever wondered how to pronounce ‘Ventimiglia’ then you’ll want to watch this. (I love his humor, and oh yea - he’s very handsome!) I don’t really understand why some people are not seeing that this is a joke interview. I don’t want to call anyone stupid…and yet I have to.

Fancast got the scoop on Milo Ventimiglia and Star Wars. When I read this I had to e-mail my friend, Myk, telling him that, ‘our two worlds are scarily merging and coming together, an apocalypse is perhaps forthcoming…’ (He: being a Star Wars geek, me: a respectable fan of Milo. Then again, we both like ewoks and Heroes. So maybe we’re truly the same, deep down where it counts. And yet, I’m still sure that I smell better than him. And really that’s what counts the most.)

I’ve never actually seen Entourage (WHAT?!) but I say we need to get Milo Ventimiglia and his friends Russ and Dino a show just like that. They’re all hilarious and sarcastic with the right amount of geek-lovability (is this not a word?) and intelligent wit. It’s actually a deadly combo.

The above is the cutest new picture of Kristen Bell that I’ve seen. Then again, she always looks adorable/cute/beautiful. You can check out more pictures from this photo shoot you can check it out at the wonderful French Kristen Bell fansite Kristen Fanatic. Luckily you don’t have to speak French to see the pictures. Bonjour? Ca va? …Aaaand, I’m out of French phrases! Awesome.

If you’re a fan of Heroes then you know Kristen Bell as the sociopathic-yet-still-lovable Elle Bishop. TVGuide.com has an interesting piece on what we can expect for Heroes season three. You can read that here. Heroes is going to be having a three-hour series opener. The first hour will be a Q&A, but that’s still a lot even if you don’t watch the first hour. Then again - why wouldn’t you watch all three hours? Psh. I’ll be taping it! And to answer your next question, yes, I am seriously that old skool and I don’t have a stupid Tivo thing! Sadface. Sadfase. (Which spelling of that is cuter?)

ANYWAY! From the aforementioned article we learn that Elle Bishop will appear “in the second half of two hour premiere”. I want to see lots of Elle this season. I mean, not in a dirty way. You know what I mean.

There is an interview with Bell in The Official Heroes Magazine (issue 5) that you can read here.

More Heroes stuff later on, okay? In the meantime, 30 Rock with Tina Fey must be watched voraciously. And I do mean literally WITH Tina Fey. She’s on my couch right now, eating all of my Flipsides crackers. Bitch. Rawwwr. Okay. Where is my Diet Coke? I feel depleted of energy and, is my head supposed to feel like it weights 684 tons? I think I have yet another migraine coming on to make this day super fun. /end sarcasm.

Postman Echo De Mille has a secret. But are you sure you want to find out what that secret is? Heroes isn’t ready to air yet, but NBC.com has been releasing webisodes to tide you over. De Mille is played by actor Kiko Ellsworth, and as far as I can tell he will indeed be a new player for the next season of Heroes. I know we all miss Peter, Claire, Hiro, and Elle. But we have to wait for season three.

The second installment of the webisodes, just released yesterday:

The first webisode of this series: A Nifty Trick

Sofachip is now off hiatus (we have no remarkable tans to show off - a grave oversight), so you can stop holding your breathe! You were holding your breathe until we returned, right? Good. Good. I certainly missed you all.  I think it’s only natural to come back and talk about  my new favorite TV show: Heroes!

Synposis: How one die-hard TV fangirl rejected Heroes only to come back to it almost two years later and fall in love. (The wedding is next spring.)

When Heroes first aired, I watched the pilot and I didn’t dig it. Seriously. I was like, “Eh, superheroes. Eh, too many characters who don’t even meet. Eh, maybe America’s Next Top Model is on instead.” I’m ashamed, but I’m being truthful! I think I watched maybe one other episode (the second) and I decided it just wasn’t for me. And that’s where I thought my story ended. *Cue anticipating music* But it had only just begun…

When my beloved Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) joined the Heroes season two cast, I decided I had to watch. Then, my love for Gilmore Girls alum Milo Ventimiglia was rekindled. So, you probably think I was on board with it all, then. But no. With the strike (a necessary evil), I lost interest. But then I wrangled up the few episodes I missed and I felt love reborn. It was then that I went to my local library website and ordered season one. I didn’t even have to wait that long, only 28 years! (Kidding, maybe three months.)

Now, I write to you having seen every episode (some of them twice). I love this show. I don’t know how I could have been so blind. The stories all intertwine, and I ended up caring about almost every single one of them. This includes the characters we only got to know for a handful of episodes (wah!) like ….well, you know.

See, I won’t write a spoiler here. Because if you haven’t seen Heroes season one yet, I am imploring you to make that your summer mission! Missions are cool, and they don’t have to be impossible. (Dear Mission Impossible movie people, I only watched the last one because Felicity’s Keri Russel was supposed to be in it. Well, I think you know why I’m upset. Refund me!)

So, go buy the DVD box set! We have handy Amazon links for you on our page here whenever you’re ready to purchase it. Heroes season one is addictive, so remember to pace yourselves while watching.

Today we have an exclusive Sofachip interview with Sherrie Sherwood, who owns and operates a popular Milo Ventimiglia community on Livejournal.com. I chatted with the friendly Aussie about Heroes, the ridiculous nature of tabloids, and Milo’s last name. Some of her favorite pictures of Milo are peppered throughout this post. Let’s go!

What year did you start the Livejournal community Milo_fans?

I started it 7th of May 2007. And hey, it’s been one whole year now! Aawww, I wish I’d caught that, I could of made a 1 year anniversary post.

Yes, most definitely my favourite actor. David Duchovny used to be my favourite, and I never thought I’d ever find an actor in my lifetime that I like more than David, but then I watched Heroes and David was pushed to second place. Other actors that I like besides Milo and David are Tony Leung, Cathrine Zeta Jones, and a lot of other actors.

Heroes, after that I chased up all the other shows and movies he’s been in. The Apple iBook advert Continued
