Part Deux! Tricia Helfer is auctioning off another two tickets to Tricia’s table at this year’s Fur Ball at the Skirball Kitten Rescue Fundraiser via eBay! Needless to say, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to meet and talk to Tricia. The starting bid is again at $200 and you have until September 3 to place yours; that’s in a little less than three days from now (i.e. today’s update). All proceeds from the auction will go to the Los Angeles-based animal shelter, Kitten Rescue.

The 3rd Annual Fur Ball at the Skirball will take place September 11 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, California. This year’s event will once again be hosted by The Office-star Jenna Fischer. Please do not hesitate to place a bid on the tickets if you think you’ll be able to attend, and support a most worthy cause at the same time!

Regular and Angel Table tickets to the event ($125 and $1250 apiece respectively) are of course also available, via the Kitten Rescue website, through which you can also make a donation even if you’re not able to attend.

Don’t forget to tune in tonight for another appearance by Tricia Helfer as FBI Agent Alex Rice on TNT’s undercover cop drama Dark Blue, starring Dylan McDermott, Logan Marshall-Green, Omari Hardwick and Nicki Aycox. Episode 2.06 “Jane Wayne” airs tonight at 9/8c on TNT. Check out our 2.06 episode preview & sneak peek post here if you haven’t yet, and as always, stay tuned for full coverage from tonight’s episode!

More precisely, Endings will premiere September 17 at 6:30 PM at the Roy Thomson Hall. At this point, we don’t know whether or not Tricia Helfer, as one of the film’s stars, is planning to attend, but although the TIFF website does not list Tricia as an “expected guest” (unlike e.g. director Sobol and co-star Harvey Keitel), the Sep 17 premiere is listed as a “Premium Screening” on the TIFF website, likely meaning it will be a star event. And if this of Tricia’s tweets via her Twitter account @trutriciahelfer is anything to go by…

Looks like I’m going to have to give it a try…or two : ) | torontolife.com: TIFF Cocktail List (Aug 28)

Unless Tricia confirms her attendance intentions explicitly via her various official outlets, we can’t say for sure she will be there, but keep your eyes peeled for pictures around September 17 anyway. After all, it is the film’s world premiere in her homeland of Canada… Fingers crossed!

2.06 “Jane Wayne”
Jaimie poses as a junkie in order to infiltrate a dangerous crew of thieves who pose as DEA agents in order to steal from drug dealers. As Carter grows concerned about Jaimie’s eagerness to make the case, Ty and Dean are stuck with a loveable yet annoying informant who wants nothing more than to be a cop, just like them.

“Is there some kind of asshole-build they give you guys at the Academy?”

Hopefully, everyone was able to check out Tricia Helfer’s yesterday’s appearance as FBI Agent Alex Rice on TNT’s gritty undercover cop drama, Dark Blue, starring Dylan McDermott, Omari Hardwick, Nicki Aycox and Logan Marshall-Green. Episode 2.05 “Brother’s Keeper” aired last night on TNT.

Episode overview from the TNT website:

2.05 “Brother’s Keeper”
In order to locate an infamous anti-government militia leader, the team stages a jail break for his younger brother in the hope that he’ll lead them to their target before he assassinates a prominent Federal Judge. Meanwhile, Ty’s extracurricular activities are starting to affect his job performance, just as Alex is preparing a report on the task force.

Personally, this wasn’t my favorite episode of the season, though it did have its highlights (especially Marshall-Green’s Dean Bendis), but Tricia once again pulled in a solid performance as Alex Rice. I just hope they’ll develop a more complex storyline for Alex in the future than just her being the strict but understanding boss and Carter’s uncomplicated secret love interest, because as she is now she’s just not as interesting as the other four key players, which isn’t that great for a character who gets as much onscreen time as Alex does.

Anyway, media-wise, the gallery has as always been updated with 432 site-exclusive 720p HD screen captures of Tricia in the episode. Clips from the episode will likely be uploaded later this week. Meanwhile, though, check out the caps!
