The lovely Katy just sent me a link to the official South Pacific Pictures page for Diplomatic Immunity, complete with a picture of Craig in his new role, looking unusually somberly dressed. :)

A release date for the third Underworld movie was mentioned here: 23 January 2009. This could change, though, as it's still quite a while until then. In other Underworld news, there's a new article about the film here.

And the lovely Katy from the Shorty boards sent me a picture of the Warner family at the photo shoot for the promo shots I posted last time. Many thanks! :)

Wow, today's update is pretty impressive! First of all, many thanks to the lovely aquapiyo, who uploaded the finale for the Celebrity Joker Poker to Youtube. You can see it in five parts here. Excellent! :)

And more video goodies! My lovely friend Annu sent me a clip from last year's Theatre Sports. Rightlick and save as from this link (size: approx. 9MB, 1:30 mins). (I will find it a permanent place on the download page eventually, too.) Many, many thanks for this!

Another very dear friend brought me back a copy of Women's Day magazine with the Shortland Street 2008 photo shoot. It's the top most article on the articles page. A thousand thanks to my wonderful friend. ♥

There have now been over 51,000 visitors to the site. Thanks so much, y'all! This site wouldn't be half as much fun if it weren't for your support and your enthusiasm, so consider yourselves hugged! A bit to celebrate this and Parker Blue's third anniversary, there will be a new layout in the not too distant future. So if you ever come by and it looks all wonky, it's either me working on the pages or the new layout being really crap. ;)

Claudia from the German Craig site has alerted me to a video on the official Shorty website from the photoshoot for 2008. Craig can be seen in the video, looking very sexy indeed. Go here and have a look yourself! And Claudia posted two screencaps from the clip here, in case you can't access the clip. :)

A tiny glimmer of hope for us outside NZ? According to this article TV stations in the US and Europe are already interested in buying Diplomatic Immunity, Craig's new comedy series which goes into production this month. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that this'll happen! :)

There are some really lovely pictures of Craig at this website: NewsPix. (Search for Craig Parker.) You can buy prints of the pictures there, but sadly not digital versions without watermark.

A few goodies for you tonight: The lovely aquapiyo allowed me to put up her screencaps of Celebrity Joker Poker. Here you are!

I finally managed to use the lovely banner that was made for use on the site ages ago on the LiveJournal group at least. Have a look!

There is a small article on the Sunday News site about Underworld and Diplomatic Immunity here: Parker switches roles
Many thanks to Katy for the heads up. :)

And last but not least, a link to a lovely fansite for Haldir and Legolas, White Arrows of Lorien. Have a look around, it's lovely!

Craig was on a show called Celebrity Joker Poker last night. Click the link, there are pictures of the show (including Craig) in the header, and there is a small biography under The Players. Apparently Craig won NZ$3000, which he donated to the Leukaemia & Blood Foundation. Over at StreetTalk people are talking about the show here (scroll down to the bottom). Always the detective, I am judging from the finger injury you can see in the pics that this was recorded some time around mid-November (the injury happened at or around the TheatreSports event Craig MC-ed back then).

I came across another nice picture on the stuff.co.nz blog I linked to the other day. It's here and seems to be from the same shoot as this one (which appeared during the Pillowman promo).

I came across two little tidbits I didn't want to keep from you guys: Apparently Craig attended the launch of the Okta phone at The Hilton last November. Here's a bit about it at stuff.co.nz.

There's a picture from 2002, showing Craig, Michael Galvin and Temuera Morrison (also from Shortland Street) at the Fire and Ice ball. Here it is!

I updated the Shorty episode ticker (see box on top of this page). The drama with Guy is not over yet, also keep checking out StreetTalk for episode recaps!

In the links section you can now find a link to MichaelSheen.net, a site dedicated to the actor who plays the werewolf leader Lucian in the Underworld films. He and Craig are both working on the third film as we speak.
