Random Acts of Ali Larter: Fun

Today, Ali Larter is having fun. Is it because she’s just recognised Matt Parkman as the guy she threw out a window earlier in season 1 of Heroes? No, because that’s fiction. Is she having fun because she’s just been voted Cosmopolitan magazine’s Fun Fearless Female of the Year 2009? Maybe – wouldn’t you be? Or is it because she’s found out that Manatees have just made their annual trek to Wakulla Springs State Park in Florida and there’s now a spring in her step? Almost certainly. I know it fills me with joy. 

What do you think, though?

Heroes: Fugitives – Preview

Three exciting previews here for everyone who’s still bothering to watch Heroes. The first and best is from the BBC’s Heroes: Unmasked and, because it’s the Beeb, will only play for UK viewers. However, it’s about three minutes of behind-the-scenes footage, clips and interviews so is worth watching – if only to see who’s absolutely definitely going to be in… the first episode of the the fourth volume. And doesn’t Ali look fetching in red?

The second is pretty much the same but is shorter, lacks some of the interviews, and is in YouTube quality but should be viewable by Americans and Canadians:

The last is the US "next episode" preview so everyone’s probably seen it, it’s low quality and you can’t really see much. But doesn’t Ali look fetching in a sort of pinky-lilac? Hope you’re all having some happy holidays!
