CELEBFLASH: Faith & Jimmy!

A fun though ultimately somewhat lackluster Sunday night Emmy party capped off an odd couple of weeks last weekend. The highlight of the night was getting to see two of the truly most attractive people in TV: First off was Eliza Dushku, Buffy the Vampire Slayer's ultimate bad girl Faith, who though a tad thin is simply stunning in person and radiates both elegance and confidence, though I suppose the latter shouldn't be surprising since she recently inked her own development deal at Fox. Isn't it really just time for the ultimate Buffy spin-off?

Then there was the original Jimmy Olsen, and former Special Unit 2 detective, Michael Landes, who's pictures just don't do him justice. The guy is truly beautiful in the flesh. Landes another recent Fox signer-on deserves to break through and make it big. Booted from The New Adventures of Lois & Clark for looking too much like Dean Cain, Landes was seen earlier this year in the soon cancelled Wedding Bells. I have a feeling Sunday night he thought that I was stalking him and his missus since every time I turned around there he was (or is it the other way around). Well, maybe the first two or three times, but after that it was all purely accidental.
Now a Faith-centric supernatural-fantasy show with Landes as some sort of deity/demon/sidekick, now that I would certainly watch!

And you know Michael Landes lived and worked in England for some time too before coming back to the United States. I saw a number of things he was in, like the recent Miss Marple series and another TV series where he played the token American character. I would bet it's easier to get work there with the American accent built in for those kinds of projects.

I think a Faith spin-off is an amazing idea. She's not even 30 y/o yet is she?

Btw, I LOVE the new Miss Marples...
