Resurrecting this is rather pointless <_< And I dont think they will pick Season 2 up now, not after 2 have "died" and the WGA is still on, and there is heroes: origins and specials and season 3 etc: :P

Thanks :wub: And when Xmas is over, you could just call it a random Britney fact thread :lol:

Breathe on Me or And then we kiss :heart:

4 months of non-activity :lol: yeah I saw it! It was really good, but not what I expected. I wanted a big duel, a huge face of of Sylar Vs. Peter, but it didn't happen :lol: Meh Season 2 is mucho better ^_^

That's how they do it in America :mellow: :lol: I prefer it to release couple of months after it has aired. Does that mean season 2 will air over here, around May-ish, because this series, it finished and the DVD is out nationwide, next week or NOW! I think ;)?

Agreed. Yes Heroes have the ability now to kill, then resurrect, then kill then resureect all characters, which kinda takes the fun away, its shocking to see your favourite hero to die, but when you have the feeling in your head when you know they have a chance to come back ruins it :( I wonder when Season 2 is on DVD? I thin February-ish which is good becuase they have the hiatus from now till season 3, but between that they have the DVD release, then the Heroes: Origins, if it ever gets done because of the WGA <_< (But I know where the WGA are coming from ;)) It just annoys me because I'M LOSING MY SHOWS :lol:

"Toxic" enjoyed international success, topping many singles charts. The song was chosen as the second favorite song of the world (all time) in a global survey made by Sony Ericsson, in which 700,000 music fans of 66 countries contributed, behind "We Are the Champions" by Queen.In 2005 it won the Grammy Award for best dance recording.[2] It has been covered by The BossHoss, Local H, the Chapin Sisters, Juliet Turner, Nickel Creek, Hurra Torpedo, The Zoo, Mark Ronson and Hard-Fi. Marillion played it during their Marillion Weekend in February 2007 in the Netherlands, and their performance was released (in audio only) on the DVD version of the single "Thankyou Whoever You Are / Most Toys" in June 2007. Monsters From Mars has released an instrumental surf version. The song's cowriter, Cathy Dennis, recorded the demo for the song. Chart Facts Toxic" became one of Spears' biggest U.S. hit since "...Baby One More Time", and her first top-ten single on the Billboard Hot 100 since 2000's "Oops!...I Did It Again". Until 2007 it was Britney Spears' highest charting single reaching number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2007 Spears released "Gimme More" which charted at number 3. "Toxic" is Spears' fourth top-ten single in the U.S. reaching #9 on the Hot 100 chart. The single also experienced strong downloads, and became her first number one on the Hot Digital Tracks (it was the 4th most legally downloaded song of 2004); The single ranked at forty-eight on the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End chart for 2004. On Top 40 radio, the song reached number one for four weeks on the Mainstream Top 40 and number two on the Top 40 Tracks. "Toxic" also reached the top twenty on the Rhythmic Top 40. "Toxic" became one of the biggest worldwide hits of 2004, and reached the top five or number one in nearly every country it charted in. On the ARIA Chart in Australia, it went to number one, knocking Jamelia's "Superstar" off the top and being replaced by "Yeah!" by Usher. It ended up being one of the best-selling singles of the year there. The single also became a huge success in the UK, selling 105,000 copies in its first week of release and debuting at number one, charting ahead of Kylie Minogue's "Red Blooded Woman" which entered the chart at #5. The chart battle between the two divas was highly popularized in the UK. Ironically, the song had originally been offered to Kylie for inclusion on her 9th studio album Body Language, but she turned it down. "Toxic" sold a total of 268,000 copies in the UK and became the 9th best selling single of 2004. In the United States the single sold over 800,000 downloads and has been certified platinum. The single has sold worldwide 5,355,000 copies. The single ended the year as the 26th most played song in Latin America. Music Video The song's music video was directed by Joseph Kahn. It shows Spears as a flight attendant, who after receiving a phone call, pushes an overweight man into the lavatory and French kisses him. Spears pulls the face of the man off, revealing a man portrayed by model Matt Felker, and steals his wallet and a key. Spears is then shown in Paris, in a black pleather catsuit and with wavy red hair, and is picked up by Tyson Beckford on a Ducati 999. The pair drives to the "Toxic Industries" factory, where she uses the key to steal a toxin and passes through a series of security measures. Spears then scales a building, now in a superhero-style costume and with black hair, and enters the apartment of a former lover, played by actor Martin Henderson. They make out and Spears pours the toxin in his mouth, killing him. After planting a kiss on him, she jumps off the balcony, landing back in the airplane in her original attire, and winks at the camera before returning to her duties as a flight attendant. The video closes as it began, with birds flying behind the aircraft. The video is intercut with sequences of Spears with hundreds of diamonds glued to her body, wearing only a G-string. It took nearly four hours for makeup artists to glue the diamonds to her body. During filming of the sequence, only director Joseph Kahn was there to shoot; other crew members had to leave the room. The music video debuted at number three on MTV's Total Request Live. It spent sixteen days at the top of the countdown and was retired after ten weeks on the program.The video was nominated in 4 categories at the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards, including Video Of The Year, but didn't win any of them. Nevertheless "Toxic" was chosen as the Video of the Year in MTV's TRL and other TV music countdown shows.

Wednesday 5th December PERFUME Curious http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/8a/Curiousposter.jpg/439px-Curiousposter.jpg Curious is a women's fragrance from Elizabeth Arden, and is the first perfume to be endorsed by Britney Spears, preceding "Fantasy." Spears reportedly earned $12 million USD from the endorsement. The ads for "Curious", featuring Spears (with actor Eric Winter), include the tagline "Do you dare?" "Curious" was released in September 2004, and was very successful internationally. It was the number one fragrance of 2004 in department stores, and in 2005, "Curious" was honored by the Fragrance Foundation as Best Women's Fragrance. The Scent The fragrance is a white floral scent. Its notes are Louisiana magnolia, golden Anjou pear, lotus flower, tuberose, star jasmine, pink cyclamen, vanilla-infused musk, sandalwood and blonde woods. Products "Curious" is an eau de parfum, and is available in 50 and 100 mL bottles. The bottle is light blue in colour, and is accented with two dangling pink hearts. The 100 mL bottle includes a spray atomizer. Apart from these bottles of perfume, there are also: "Deliciously Whipped!" 200 mL Body Soufflé "Lather Me Up!" 200 mL Shower Gel "You're So Smooth!" 200 mL Body Polish "Totally Ticklish!" 20 g Body Shimmer "Write On!" 14 g Perfumed Shimmer Stick "Two Tempting!" 5 mL Fragrance Roller Ball and Lip Gloss Duo Limited As Curious was extremely successful worldwide, a limited edition was released in 2006. The new fragrance, entitled In Control hit the stores in some countries, including the United States, Canada, Japan and Europe. Its bottle looks like the original, however is black instead of blue. Fantasy http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ec/Fantasy.jpg Fantasy is a women's fragrance from Elizabeth Arden, and is the second perfume to be endorsed by Britney Spears. The ad's tagline is "Everybody has one." It was released in the U.S. on September 15, 2005, following the successful previous perfume from Spears, "Curious", which made over $30 million in sales in the first three months of its launch. "Fantasy" was created by Jim Krivda, and its notes are red lychee, golden quince, kiwi, cupcake accord, jasmine petals, white chocolate orchid, musk, orris root and sensual woods. It has been described as initially smelling fruity, then very sweet, showing the promised smells of cupcake and white chocolate, with a very light floral smell. Midnight Fantasy A spin-off fragrance entitled Midnight Fantasy was released in December 2006, in some department stores, and January 2007 everywhere else. The bottle is a dark blue version of the original pink bottle. Midnight Fantasy is described as having a black cherry accord. The perfume initially sold well in December. However, events in Spears' personal life in January affected sales of the perfume, with analysts reporting that people were returning holiday perfume gift sets to stores in larger numbers than expected. Sanders observed that "the timing couldn't be worse" for such a downturn in sales of the perfume, because the craze for celebrity perfumes was already declining across all fragrances, having fallen 17% to USD140million in 2006. Sales have since reportedly started to rebound according to Macy's. In April 2007, Spears set out a paparazzi contest with the aim of promoting the perfume. In an electronic mail message sent to her fans, she asked them to "share what happens to you when the clock strikes 12", by photographing their friends. Commentators observed that Spears' requirement that photographs not contain "nudity, obscenity, or violent depictions" would rule out several photographs taken of Spears herself that contained nudity.

Well, I dont think Nathan is dead, things that dont end with a definite DEAD! usually mean that they are alive ;) I think bringing Jessica back is a good idea and like Josh said, it links with the title "Villains". If they can resurrect Maya, then surely they can do the same with Niki/Jessica, or maybe they can only ressurect one of the personalities ;) Also a short theory for the season is that, I think that there will be a new hero, who will turn evil with their powers and ressurect all the fallen villains. Yes, he/she has the power to bring back the dead. Adam will die, but he will be brought back, as will Niki, Linderman etc: All the dead villains of season 1+2 will be brought back in season 3. Hopefully ;)

Meh f*** first to 5 :P RIHANNA - DONT STOP THE MUSIC WILL BE REPRESENTING HACKYACK :cheer:

OVER! :cry: Well we can while it's o nhiatus till September for "Villains" Ther is a new TV show called Heroes:Origins, it's a spin-off really. BUT it's got 6 episodes, and each week they will introduce a new character (6 in total :heehee:) and then viewers (I think USA only) get to choose which of the 6 characters they like, and which one will be a PERMANENT role in Season 3 :o auditions are taking place now! So if you're a budding actor/actress find out where they are holding the auditions and give yourself a shot! :P

Britney Spears rang in her 26th year on Sunday and although she didn't have her kids with her, she was surrounded by friends, fun and plenty of swag. At 9:56 p.m., Spears and her pals Alli Sims and Sam Lufit arrived at the Scandanavian Style Mansion where Sharon Stone was hosting a party. OK! magazine reports that around 11 p.m., a small chocolate birthday cake was presented to Spears and a small crowd broke in to Happy Birthday. Editor-in-chief Sarah Ivens says that the pop princess seemed to be in a much better state that the last time the two were together; during a disastrous photo shoot that resulted in an unfortunate incident with Spear's dog and a Zac Posen dress. Britney looked slim and pretty, Ivens says. I just kept thinking how much better it was this time around than the last time we spent time with her. We really hope this birthday and her new age will be a turning point. And in case you were wondering, the gifting suites at the Mansion made sure the birthday was a memorable one for Spears. She reportedly received the following: $30,000 in fur coats A $10,000 diamond and gold ring $4,000 in Barito brand sunglasses Various t-shirts and hair products Oh My! :o Britney!

Britney Spears may have finally made a good decision. The train wreck, who hasn't done much publicity for her new album, "Blackout," besides her daily run to Starbucks to get photographed, has pulled the plug on a potential Rolling Stone cover, said an insider. Spears was close to signing a contract with editor and publisher Jann Wenner, to pose for the cover, but called off talks when the Wenner Media boss refused to promise her it would actually land on Rolling Stone instead of Us Weekly, said the insider. Last year, Nick Lachey was duped into believing Wenner's promise of a Rolling Stone cover and was furious when he landed on Us instead. "It was going to be a good platform for her music to be taken seriously because it had been so long. But she refused to get screwed by Wenner," said our source. "They kept negotiating, and it got nasty." Spears has contacted Blender magazine, and a deal is being worked out for a cover there, said the source. A rep for Rolling Stone said they were "exploring a cover" but never had a discussion about any kind of contract."
