Alyson Hannigan's Birth Story - An Audio-Visual Extravaganza

Who represents women in late-night arena?

Aly made an appearance at the Los Angeles Film Festival (June 19-29) on a discussion panel with Jennifer Tilly, Janeane Garofalo and Illeana Douglas. Defamer.com was there and posted the exchange when the talk turned to the lack of females hosting late-night talk shows.

Ms. Hannigan didn't see the slight as intentional, but some of the other panel members did.

'Mother' season finale tonight and USAToday article

The season finale of How I Met Your Mother airs tonight, May 19, 2008 on CBS. This will be your last chance to see Aly in something new until the series picks up again in the fall. Entitled "Miracles", the episode airs at 8:30 p.m. et/pt.

The USAToday site has a nice article on Alyson, covering various subjects including the season finale, where we will see more of Lily and Marshall dealing with their financial woes; Britney's appearance (of course); her marriage with Alexis and summer plans to visit his family on the east cost; and her shopping habits, and do they parallel Lily's.

How I Met Your Mother is a comedy about Ted (Josh Radnor) and how he met his wife. The episodes are told in flashback from the future where Ted is telling his kids the story of how they met. Set in present day, it also stars Neil Patrick Harris as Barney, Jason Segal as Marshall, Ted's best friend and his wife Lily (Alyson Hannigan).

Get stuff from Aly!

If you remember from the May 12th episode of How I Met Your Mother, Marshall had Lily sell her things to raise money for repairs needed for their apartment. To do so, Marshall created a website called http://lilyandmarshallselltheirstuff.com.

In a cool move, the producers of the show actually secured that domain name and partnered with Charity Folks Online Auctions to do an auction for, you guessed it, charity. Benefiting the Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles, you have until May 27, 2008 to bid on items selected from the show, many of them Aly's!

At the top of the bidding list is a chance to visit the set and meet the cast of How I Met Your Mother. Also included in the auction is a cast-signed script and DVD autographed by the cast, 8 dresses worn by Alyson, a jacket worn by her, a striped sweater, Lily's Marc Jacobs shoes (European size 37 1/2, appx U.S. size 7), a purple blouse worn by Aly in the episode "The Goat" and two bags featured in the show. (Note: the four paintings from the show that are said to be painted by Lily were not painted by Alyson, but by a staff member of the show. Thanks, Smiley!)

If you've always wanted to own something used or worn by the lovely Ms. Hannigan and help a worthy cause, this is your chance! Right now, some things are quite pricey, but others are what some folks could consider reasonable depending on their current financial standings. Take a look and check it out!

Forgive Maxim? Not quite yet

E! Online is not happy with Maxim and taking them to task on a recent article featuring (what else?) "hotties". The E! website article entitled "The Heat of 100 Hotties" had this to say about a bizarre list of "the world's most beautiful women".

Quote:

As well, the editors clearly never forgot their first piece of American Pie, putting not one but two slices of the movie's cast on the list: cover girl Shannon Elizabeth and the inexplicable Mena Suvari. Had they included the divine Alyson Hannigan, we might have forgiven them, but...

The article also takes an easy swing at Maxim's writing in the article, expressing exasperation at the lack of original comments. Of Eva Longoria Parker, "Hotter than a truckload of jalapenos. (Please.)"

On the Scoville scale, jalapeno's only rate only around 6th on a scale of 17 or so.

Britney returns to 'Mother'

Next week's episode of How I Met Your Mother, "Everything Must Go" will feature the return of Britney Spears as Abby, the character she played two months ago as a publicity stunt. The cast and crew were impressed enough with her performance to invite her back for another show. Aly said of her first appearance, "I had no idea she had such comedic timing."

In a statement via CBS, Spears mentioned that "Abby is going to have a lot of fun. I couldn't wait to come back. I had such a great experience the last time I was on the show." She also said, "I was really looking forward to working with the cast and crew again. Everyone was so nice".

While this bit of news may not be as Aly-centric as AHAS likes to report, Britney's first appearance did wonders for ratings and this next time should provide another boost. The show has yet to be officially renewed for the fall season, so anything to increase those chances is a good thing. The episode airs May 12th.

How I Met Your Mother is a comedy about Ted (Josh Radnor) and how he met his wife. The episodes are told in flashback from the future where Ted is telling his kids the story of how they met. Set in present day, it also stars Marshall (Jason Segal), Ted's best friend and his wife Lily (Alyson Hannigan).
