Don’t forget to check out Tricia Helfer guest starring as California bullet train engineer Stephanie in the pilot episode of Human Target, the brand new FOX action series starring Mark Valley and Chi McBride. The new series premieres today, January 17 @ 8 PM on FOX. As always, we’ll be sure to cover her appearance on the show, so don’t forget to check back with us soon for coverage!

We’re back! And we come bringing some new goodies as well. Today (and throughout this Fall), we’ve updated the gallery with 250+ new medium- and hi-res photos of Tricia Helfer at various public events 2005-2009 + replaced some 50-60 small images with better quality ones. Since this is quite a mix of new and updated photos/albums, we’ve listed all updated albums below using the following labeling:

(N) – new additions; (R) – better quality replacements; (NA) – new album

If I could make a suggestion or two three, I’d particularly advise you to check out the fantastic hi-res additions we made to our 2009 Monte Carlo Television Festival Day 5-album, which now features some absolutely adorable(!) photos of Tricia and hubby Jonathan Marshall at the event. Also, the ‘Battlestar Galactica’ Mid-Season Finale Celebration-album from June 2008, featuring some really awesome footage of Tricia and BSG co-stars Katee Sackhoff and Mary McDonnell, has been updated with a ton of better quality replacements to those earlier minimal pics — highly recommend you have a look. Finally, there’s this, this and many other great new photos of the BSG team at last year’s Sci Fi Channel Upfront Party.

But really, those are just the highlights. There are a lot more gems among the rest of the new photos as well. Anyway, without further ado, enjoy!

More news on Mass Effect 2! Two days ago, we reported of Tricia Helfer’s involvement in the aforementioned upcoming EA Games video game as EDI, the voice of the new Normandy. Yesterday, GiantBomb.com revealed a really great trailer for the game, in which all the vocal talent, Tricia included, is introduced and briefly previewed. Check it out below or at GiantBomb.com!

Mass Effect 2 also features Martin Sheen, Seth Green, Carrie-Ann Moss as well as Tricia’s respective Chuck and Battlestar Galactica co-stars Yvonne Strahovski and Michael “Tigh” Hogan. The video game is currently slated for January 26 2010 North American and January 29 2010 European releases to the Xbox 360 and PC.

As most of you will surely remember, Tricia Helfer and fellow Battlestar Galactica Cylon Grace Park were featured on the cover and inside the November 2009 issue of Maxim (US). The feature coincided with the DVD release and TV premiere of Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, which was being promoted at the time.

Today, the gallery has been updated with nine site-exclusive scans of the issue’s digital special. While most of the pictures we’ve seen here before, the quality of these is superior to any earlier previews, and the magazine even snuck in two Tricia photos we hadn’t seen before. Be sure to check them all out!

“There’s been a vote. There’s going to be a truce. We just need to convey it to the humans. All of them.”
- Number Six

More updates on The Plan! Today, the gallery has been updated with 463 HD screen captures of Tricia Helfer as the various incarnations of Cylon Number Six in Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, the Edward James Olmos-directed TV film about the early days of the Colonies genocide, as told from the Cylon perspective. The Plan, as many of you will know, was released on DVD in late October this year.

Without giving away any major spoilers we can tell you that out of Tricia’s many roles as Six, Shelly Godfrey, a new, darker haired “Tough Six”, some nondescript blonde Sixes and another non-blonde, unnamed Six (who according to Battlestar Wiki is in fact Gina Inviere) all make an appearance. Caprica Six also briefly appears, although largely in old footage from the 2003 miniseries. Neither Dr. Gaius Baltar’s Virtual/Head Six nor Natalie are featured.

We will not be writing up a recap for The Plan as, unlike with Razor and the regular episodes, the plot is simply a bit too intricate to be put down in just a few words. We do hope you enjoy the new caps anyway (though please be advised they may contain significant spoilers), and hopefully, we’ll have some video clips for you soon as well. Do check back with us for those!

We have an update on Battlestar Galactica! Today, the gallery has been updated with 11 hi-res promotional stills + 1 medium-res promoshoot photo of Tricia Helfer as Cylon Number Six in The Plan. Hopefully, we’ll soon be able to provide you with some screen caps and video clips as well. Check them out!

Regarding yesterday’s Kitten Rescue event, as of yet we haven’t been able to find any media coverage of Tricia (or, in fact, anyone else) at the gala. Not to worry, however, as if I recall correctly first coverage from last year’s event also came in a little late. Of course, we’ll continue to keep our eyes for photos.

It’s been a while since we last had any news on FOX’s upcoming Human Target series! However, some two days ago, the network revealed another promotional TV spot for the show via their YouTube account, which features glimpses of Tricia Helfer’s pilot performance (most of which we have already seen, however). As many of you will know, Tricia guest stars in the pilot episode of the show as Stephanie, the client. Human Target stars Mark Valley and Chi McBride, and premieres January 17 2010 on FOX. Check out the TV spot below!

“Oh, dear God, no.”
- Gail

As previously reported, Tricia Helfer guest-starred as Gail in yesterday’s episode of the popular CBS’ sitcom Two and a Half Men, 7.08 “Gorp. Fnark. Schmegle.” (previously titled “The Moustache Attachment”). Here’s our coverage of the episode, starting with our episode recap. As always, the recap contains spoilers as to the episode storyline, so please highlight to read:

Charlie and Chelsea are having dinner with Chelsea’s former college roommate Gail, when Chelsea invites Gail to stay with them to cope from a bad break-up. The sexy, stunning Gail instantly makes an impression on Charlie, Alan and Jake, and causes a particular headache to Charlie, being already involved with someone else. While Charlie dreams of threesomes with Gail and Chelsea, Alan fantasizes about hooking up with her, and both Jake and Berta find themselves admiring her amazing body. Worried of what Gail’s presence might do to his ongoing relationship, Charlie sends and unwitting but all the more smitten Alan to make a move on Gail, convinced his advances will drive her out of the house. Sure enough, it isn’t long before Gail thanks Charlie for his hospitality and makes a quicker-than-quick exit from the Harper residence.

Wasn’t it great to see Tricia doing something new again? Even though most of the funny lines were left to the main cast of the show, we thought Tricia did a great job as Gail. The gallery has been updated with 277 medium-res screen captures, while the media archive has been updated with six site-exclusive video clips of Tricia on the show. As always, we’ll do our best to obtain HD replacement caps for the site as soon as possible.

Anyway, enjoy the new material! Don’t forget only registered and logged in media archive users are able to access our collection of video clips; unlogged users will not be able to view said videos. Registration at our media archive is free and only takes a moment. Thank you. All new clips are in .MOV format, which is playable in e.g. QuickTime and VLC.
