YAY! No more speculation re whether the Con was pulling a... con.

I plugged this into the General Thread where we'll also track other sci-fi celeb guests and graphic artists who are scheduled to appear.

Just so there's a record of GA handing a charitable donation to a German Children's Cancer center (See also Gorgeous and Photo threads)... This isn't one of GA's causes; her appearance was to generate more attention for the event. (June 21, 2012)
http://www.handinhandforchildren.de/new ... ms/56.html


In English per Google:
"As part of Raphael's 2012 Summer Day, presented the actress Gillian Anderson presented a check in the amount of 30,000 € to our charity sponsors Wayne Carpendale and Annemarie Warnkross. On behalf of the Hand in Hand for Children Team, thanked Marcus Scholl site."

GA NOW ON FACEBOOK & TWITTER

Effective 3 PM Eastern time on July 6, 2012...
Gillian Anderson has bowed to the Facebook & Twitter gods...

[b]CONFIRMED ON GAWS

http://twitter.com/GillianA

https://www.facebook.com/gilliananderson

Her (or her publicist's) Facebook Post:

"Okay so I am doing what I said I would never do which is set up social network sites. And I am starting by announcing that I will be doing another thing I said I would never do which is a convention. But what the hell it’s ten years since XF ended and why not commemorate? These sites are mostly to get rid of imposters who have apparently been communicating with unsuspecting friends for some time now-weird!- and will only be for promoting charities and upcoming events and will be handled by my publicists. Only on the VERY rare occasion will I tweet or comment myself and hopefully those close to me will slap me across the face for doing so."

[Queequeg0925]

Its amazing!! I just saw it on Twitter!
Although she said she wont be posting much, I think it s a great idea!

[Agent Skulder]

On many (most?) celeb accounts, it's an assistant or publicist posting.

At least now, there will be communication other than just re "big" events. And questions from fans will be posted via comments or tweets, instead of relying on the GAWS Admin to reply, which was iffy at best...

Good news, especially on the eve of LFCC & 6 weeks before Toronto. If GA wants to communicate any late change, etc, she no longer has to rely on the Con managers or people viewing GAWS and then first going to FB or Twitter.

Sri Lanka Retreat For Sale...

There's an interesting article (published in an airline magazine) which GA's Admin has posted to GAWS.

She discusses the extensive renovations made to her Sri Lanka home over a 4 year period, which she is now ready to sell.

The article links to inviting photos, also on GAWS:

[Queequeg0925]

Thank you so much for posting!

Such an interesting article!! love it! and those pics!! so beautiful! it looks so relaxing, and she looks gorgeous as usual!

[Agent Skulder]

You're welcome! Recognize the dress she's wearing? Looks like the dress from the British Airways party, so perhaps she visited India after the Russia photo shoot.

Gorgeous house and furnishings...

[Queequeg0925]

You are right! I knew the dress looked familiar! you have a really good memory!

[Queequeg0925]

Gillian will attend this year’s Dragon Con on September 1 (afternoon only) and September 2 - She’ll be doing a panel on both days.

Dragon Con is the largest multi-media, popular culture convention focusing on science fiction and fantasy, gaming, comics, literature, art, music, and film in the universe!
31 Aug- Sep 3 Atlanta, Georgia.

[Agent Skulder]

Thx for posting QQ - Dragon*Con is also confirmed on GAWS.

This is one of the hottest US Cons (very well organized) and the biggest on the East Coast. Finally, Central to Southeastern US folks can see GA without traveling cross country.

For anyone keeping track this Con is one week after her appearance at the Toronto Expo (where Davis also signed on).

I'll start a Dragon*Con thread in General to include details & other Guests...

[Agent Skulder]

... TODAY, DRAGON*CON USED FACEBOOK TO CONFIRM A POTENTIAL PROBLEM... GA's name dropped off the Guest List on Friday.

See the Dragon*Con Thread in General for details.

Even better - anyone planning on attending this con specifically to see GA should contact Dragon*Con directly. It helps to keep the "Con Rule of Thumb" in mind, when making travel plans: it's never wise to attend any Con just to see one guest, as plans can change at the last minute.

Nooooooooo!
Oh, well. I'm glad that I hadn't book my aeroplane tickets yet.

[Queequeg0925]

OMG!! so sad! I always thought they were a perfect couple...

The good thing is that they are still in good terms, especially for the boys


Here s what People Mag posted

[LondonLady]

Oh, dear. I don't know why, but I had a feeling that this relationship wouldn't last. I think that it's sad for everyone involved.

...The good thing is that they are still in good terms, especially for the boys...

I agree with you, Queequeg0925.

[LondonLady]

Here is the funniest thing that I have read so far regarding GA, Mark, and DD:

Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny Are Together, According to Mostly Speculative Report
Louis Peitzman
8th August 2012

"…Besides, geeks need to believe that true love really exists between popular genre pairings. After the heartbreak of Bella and Edward's split, a Mulder and Scully hook-up could be just the thing to heal the nation."

Mostly speculative report indeed! "Heal the nation" LOL! I love it!

Silly Gossip
Posted at 9:09 AM (PDT) on Thursday, August 9, 2012 

To all those believing and re-tweeting the nonsense being floated by tabloid websites, we would like to sell you tickets to a dinner & show with Elvis Presley. 

For those eager to spread genuine news, we suggest, "Zero truth to the GA & DD rumor - it's a fan fantasy run amok".

This published statement was removed from GAWS on August 10. Per that site admin, "GA did not want to give credence to the rumors and lies" by allowing the statement on the site.

As this statement constituted news when published, it is no different than articles and newscasts referenced throughout the Internet, including newscasts produced by TXF owners - 20th Century Fox.

Official GAWS news today, via 2 separate messages.

First, GA HAS CONFIRMED she is attending Dragon*Con in 2 weeks. Visit GAWS or the Dragon*Con thread in General for details.

Second, she composed a lengthy message which addresses one particularly nasty article published 2 weeks ago in London's Murdoch-owned Sun Times. Read it on GAWS or here: viewtopic.php?f=303&t=1195#p64666

[LondonLady]

To all those attending the convention in Toronto: be safe and have fun!

[Agent Skulder]

Just to document...

Gillian will attend this year's Dragon*Con on Saturday (September 1) and Sunday (September 2), ALL DAY ON BOTH DAYS. Refer to General Forum thread for details.

http://www.gilliananderson.ws/news/index.shtml#newsitemEFuykZkppVNsDIaeVC

For anyone keeping track, that's 2 MAJOR cons in 2 weeks and 3 this summer (LFCC was an "exhibit" in comparison: Canada averages 80K people and DC 30K+) After DC, I'd say GA's done with Cons for a year or two...

[LondonLady]

Unless "The X Files 3" is announced next year!

[Agent Skulder]

A Giveaway Offer from GAWS, shared by Haven's bkri1977 who runs all GAWS auctions...

Hi everyone!

Our [XF Collections Auctions] donor, who was the source of all of our awesome auction items this summer, wanted to wrap up the event with something that would be open to everyone. In going through her stuff, she found a copy of the UNICEF brochure that featured the photo of Gillian with Piper and Aaron. Since the auction event was done in his memory, she thought it might be fun to give it away. To sweeten the pot, she had us add a signed Emanuel Ad from the 2003 GAWS auction.

Everyone is eligible to enter, especially those of you who did not get to bid on or win an item. (Yes, international peeps too.) And shipping is on us. (Or rather, on our lovely donor.)

DETAILS: http://www.gilliananderson.ws/cgi-bin/n ... tyle=print

Our donor will be picking the name herself after the September 15 (6PM pt) deadline. Good luck, everyone!

[Agent Skulder]

GA is one of a few actresses who made PSAs for FBI women, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the FBI hiring women agents beginning in 1972. (An amazing fact on its own, since the FBI was created back in 1908. The only women hired were secretaries for 60 YEARS...)

On December 1 & 2, 2012, GA will appear at Wizard World's Comic Con in New Orleans, Louisiana. This has been confirmed on GAWS.

...the FBI hiring women agents beginning in 1972. (An amazing fact on its own, since the FBI was created back in 1908. The only women hired were secretaries for 60 YEARS...)

LOL! I laugh, but that is pretty terrible, that women were not considered capable of being actual agents for 64 years!

BTW, Gillian looks absolutely stunning in the video. Also, her accent is an interesting blend of London and American.

[Agent Skulder]

Yep - the accent is interesting alright. We understand why it changes so frequently but its changeability can become a distraction after a while.

"Room On The Broom"
Animated Xmas 2012 BBC Special

Thanks to Haven's klutzopian...

Gillian Anderson (the Witch)... Rob Brydon (the Cat), Martin Clunes (the Dog), Sally Hawkins (the Bird), David Walliams (the Frog) and Timothy Spall (the Dragon), who are the all-star voice cast in the 30-minute animated special Room On The Broom.

Created by Children’s Laureate Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler — the team behind The Gruffalo — it will be broadcast on BBC1 this Christmas.

The short film, which is narrated by Simon Pegg and features a striking score by Rene Aubry, shows how the Witch’s friends protect her from a hot and bothered dragon.
