ALYSSA
SHOWS OFF HER CHARMS
Inside, there's the usual scantily-clad photoshoot, which can also be seen on the FHM website (along with some Alyssa wallpapers) and "interview": The innocent girl you lusted after as a pie-faced teen is all grown up. And she has the rocking body to prove it. What's the best way to say hello? Eye contact and then a hug to make a connection. Is it true that prior to a sexy photo shoot such as this one, you go without carbs for days? Yeah, I definitely prepare, because so much of doing sexy images is about feeling good. If I were to pig out on Burger King beforehand, I wouldn't feel as comfortable in skimpy clothes. Any other sexy tricks? I bring my publicist. I call her the photo-shoot nazi because she's the one who's always staring at my crotch to make sure nothing's showing. And no nipple. What's the best tabloid bit you've ever seen about yourself? There was a picture where I was walking out of the supermarket with a huge family pack of toilet paper. I was a mess and in sweats. Did they write that you had explosive "stuff"? No. When is it OK to call a guy a bitch? The last time I was in Vegas, I kept calling the poker dealer my bitch. When I was losing, I call him a bitch. FHM understand you have a problem with math. Does that make cards difficult for you? I do have trouble with math. Sometimes I'm quick as a whip, but other times, no. But you have a photographic memory. Can you remember how you completed this sentence the last time you were on FHM's cover nearly two years ago? "You can look at a naked body and to me there's something very natural and beautiful. That's why I ..." Garden topless! Good work. Fill in the blank: For God's sake, please: Have more compassion. My eyelashes are sticking together and my eyebrows are sweating. It's like 95 degrees out here. Describe the underwear you're wearing. I'm not wearing any. Hot day. Are you a Republican? No, but I want whoever is running our country to succeed. Every time I hear Bush speak, I'm like, "Oh, just get through this sentence, get through it." And it's like, "Whew!" How patriotic of you. What's the most embarrassing thing in your purse right now? Want to look? I'll dump it out. Advil, Bayer Aspirin - my mom bought it for me because she read it can prevent lulng cancer - chequebook, wallet, lighter, a pen that doesn't work, cell phone, empty pack of gum, two-way pager, compact, eyeliner, lipstick - I have so much lipstick it's frightening, because you never know what to wear - a gift certificate to a spa in Santa Barbara and a flower for my hair if I feel inspired. But nothing embarrassing. I'm looking for a tampon or something. What number cheque are you on? 3673. That's pretty good, huh? Big spender. Would you let Courtney Love spank you? Absolutely not. She terrifies me. I'm so afraid of that woman. What's your favourite cliché? "Everything happens for a reason." You once said, "I forgive myself for a lot of things." Is that a way of acting immoral and forgiving yourself after the fact? For things like tattoos and one-night stands? No. My intentions are always good. I have always had such strong morals. I make immoral mistakes, but they all come from a good place. Do you ever get sick of people talking about your chest? Do people talk about my tits? Absolutely. I didn't know, but I guess I can't get tired if I'm not hearing about it. Then do you get sick of hearing tired Tony Danza talking about you every time a camera is on him? Yeah, I'm tired of it. God bless him, I love him madly, but yeah, it's a bizarre thing. I usually get asked, "What's the little boy from the show doing now?" What's the little boy from the show doing now? We hear he's tramping around New York City's gay West Village. I think Danny Pintauro is living in New York. He came out of the clost in The Enquirer years ago. We bust big news stories in the FHM office. Yeah, you've got your finger on the pulse. You have 20 seconds to clarify one rumour about yourself. What rumours have you heard about me? I can guarantee that the Shannen Doherty and I fighting thing wasn't really a fight, but there was a lot of tension that came out of the clear blue sky as far as I was concerned. I don't know what was going on in her mind. You played Amy Fisher in the TV movie Casualties of Love: The Long Island Lolita Story. When was the last time you had sex with a guy with an Afro-mullet? I didn't even date guys with mullets in the '80s. You won a Spirit Award at Sundance in 1997 for your role in Hugo Pool. Not to sound corny, but that's great, considering most child stars burn out big time. It was very rewarding. As a child star, to be able to not only make the crossover but to be recognised as an influential talent in the indie film industry really turned my life around. The FHM tape recorder malfunctioned. We were also discussing men's magazine covers and how you badmouthed them a bit. Can you repeat it please? I said America has a preconceived notion of someone with a size 36C. It was my way of saying that fact doesn't mean I'm not intelligent. And FHM said, "You're not a 36C" and you said - Yes I am! That part you remember, huh? Clearly. When do you turn into a complete bitch? When I'm PMS-ing. Oh wait, girls don't poop and girls don't bleed. What was the name of the last porn you watched? The Lover. It's an art movie but it's very sexy. What's your favourite body part? My back, because it's muscular and I don't have to see it every day. As Eva Savelot, you got to work with the greats like Carrot Top - He's AT&T. I was WorldCom. They're in a bit of trouble. Do you still work for those shysters? No.
Two years of doing those commercials was enough. When I signed
the deal, my business manager thought it mihgt be a good idea
to have stock in WorldCom. I decided to take the cash instead.

NIXES BOSS REUNION The Cosby Show's Lisa Bonet isn't the only '80s sitcom star shunning her TV roots. Alyssa Milano reveals that she has no interest in reprising her role as Tony Danza's precocious daughter Samantha for a Who's the Boss? reunion movie. "We've talked about it, but I'm not doing it," the actress tells TV Guide Online. "It was perfect for the eight years we did it, and to relive it would...I think everyone would be disappointed. I just decided that I didn't feel comfortable doing it." Milano insists that even if the rest of Boss family agreed to return - and let's face it, they probably would - she still would not budge. "They could hire someone else to play Sam," she says. Or they could lay the idea to rest - which they apparently did. "There was never an actual project going," Milano points out. "It was sort of [the producers] putting feelers out to see if they could get everyone to do it." In
other words, these days, Milano's the boss. BACK
TO THE TOP SPLISH
SPLASH
"I have on pasties and a fin," Milano tells TV Guide Online, laughing. "I went for a wardrobe fitting and I was like, 'Where's the seashell top?' They were like, 'It doesn't look good, so we're just going to add scales and paint them on your boobies.'" Not that it makes much difference, but why exactly will Milano's bewitching alter ego, Phoebe, be pulling a Daryl Hannah on viewers? "Why does anything ever happen on Charmed?" she muses, adding, "It's in order to find a sea hag...obviously." No, that's not a subtle dig at former co-star/nemesis Shannen Doherty. But this may be: Milano says that she and Holly Marie Combs have gelled "perfectly" with new sis Rose McGowan. "We're having a great time. She's a great energy to have around." Even the WB's decision to banish the cult fave to Sundays - historically the WB's worst night ratings-wise - hasn't dampened the trio's spirits. "Actually, I think its going to be good for us," Milano says of the move. "Sunday night is having a bit of a rebirth with The Practice, Six Feet Under and Alias. It's becoming a good night for television." Here's a suggestion to make it even better: Next time, outfit the actress as a half-naked wood nymph. BACK TO THE TOP SHEER
PRESSURE
MILANO
JOINS SPADE'S DICKIE ROBERTS According to Variety, Alyssa has joined the cast of David Spade's (Tommy Boy) latest film, Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star. Alyssa will play Spade's love interest in the Paramount project. Adam Sandler's Happy Madison will produce. Spade will play Dickie Roberts, a thirtysomething former child star that hires a foster family to recreate his missing childhood. Sam Weisman (What's The Worst That Could Happen?) will direct from a script from Spade and Fred Wolf. Alyssa will film concurrently with Charmed, which began production last week. BACK TO THE TOP ALYSSA
IN FHM POLL TOP 100 Once again, Alyssa was the only Charmed star to feature in the UK edition of FHM's 100 Sexiest Women poll, with a four place rise to number 53. FHM had this to say: The Brooklyn-raised babe Alyssa's best known for her TV appearances in Melrose Place and spooky teenfest Charmed. And brilliantly, she's not averse to posing for some very rude pictures, either. Though she recently sued a naughty website for publishing some on the sly. BACK TO THE TOP 07.09.01 - A few comments from an otherwise spoilerish issue (the comments about season 4 can be found here): What does it feel like to be on all those "most beautiful," "most sexy" lists? If they only knew that every night I go home and put on pimple medicine and sleep in rubber ducky flannel pyjamas. I know you are becoming quite a golf fanatic, which would you rather do: win an Emmy or hit a hole in one? Hole in one. Golf is much less political. Your career has been very multimedia with your television shows, movies, music and Internet work, what does the future hold for you? I have no idea! That's the beauty of life! Back to the top 16.06.01 - Soap Opera Digest recently asked some US soap actors: "who was your first celebrity crush/pin-up?" Josh Duhamel (Leo, All My Children), Kiko Ellsworth (Jamal, Port Charles) and Jay Kenneth Johnson (Philip, Days of Our Lives) all named Alyssa as theirs. Bad news for them that she said recently, "to hear someone say, 'I have a poster of you in my bedroom' is a weird thing." Back to the top 19.05.01 - Alyssa was the only one of the Charmed girls to make the Top 100 in this year's FHM Sexiest Women poll. Although she finished 57th, this is a pretty reasonable performance given the lower UK profile that both Alyssa and Charmed have, and that any possible Charmed vote was split by those of us who voted for Holly instead. Back to the top 01.05.01 - From yesterday's Wanda chat on E! Online: Is Alyssa dating Brian Krause or Julian McMahon? Brian Krause...and his wife split in December, and he has been dating Alyssa for the past couple of months. They're apparently adorable together, very cutesy-wutesy, but the whole thing has deepened the divide between Alyssa and her onscreen siblings, who've been turning yet another shade of green. Back to the top 20.02.2001 - The Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure, which features Alyssa as the voice of Angel and was Disney's first sequel to one of its pre-1980s animated classics, has trampled its way past The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea, generating $50 million in consumer spending in its opening week. More than 3 million of the 7 million videocassette and DVD copies shipped to retailers were purchased in the first six days of release, according to industry estimates, pushing the title well past the 2.4 million units sold in the first week of release last fall of The Little Mermaid II, which went on to generate more than $120 million in consumer spending, according to Daily Variety sister publication Video Business.Source: Variety. Back to the top 20.02.2001 - Alyssa reprises her role as the mayor's daughter next Wednesday, February 28, on ABC's Spin City, returning to town for a wild night of partying with Caitlin (Heather Locklear). Back to the top THE ART OF BEING...ALYSSA MILANO 18.01.2001 - From The WB's website: First rule of love - it hurts: "My first crush was this guy in grammar school. I kissed him, and he punched me so hard I had a black eye." Five words that describe me: "Compassionate, loyal, obsessive, professional, driven." Baby talk: "Every time I decide I want to have a child, I get another animal. I have two dogs, eight birds and three horses. Does that tell you anything?" Dream-date M.O.: "As far as looks, I'm into the 'man-child' guy. Like George Clooney, who looks much younger than he is and has that boyish twinkle in his eye." The fame game: "I would rather people treat me like I'm their cousin than have them treat me like some kind of alien." My first boyfriend: "It was Kirk Cameron. I was 13, and he was 14. He used to dedicate songs to me on the radio, but I broke up with him. I just couldn't deal with it." On the glam life: "When I get invitations to movie premieres, I'm like, why bother? If I see a movie, I want to put on my sweats and go and get popcorn. I just don't really see the point of getting all dressed up to see a movie." Back to the top 21.12.2000 - Wearing a gold bikini, Alyssa appears on the cover of the January/February issue of US FHM.
She also reveals that she gardens topless - "I'll be in my garden, you know, just being natural." A transcript of the interview can be found here, while the photos can be found on the magazine's website. Back to the top 4.9.2000 - Those who have seen the WB's trailer for Charmed's forthcoming season will have noticed something different about Alyssa Milano - her hair colour. Alyssa fan Ghosty posted this into the Charmed-UK list: "[The] highlights were put in by Leland Kent, her hairstylist extraordinaire, for the mini-series Diamond Hunters and were kept in for the filming of Charmed's season 3. She now sports light brown hair with soft blonde highlights." Back to the top
Party of Five's Scott Wolf voices the title role, in an adventure full of songs in which Scamp takes up with the stray Junkyard Dogs, and falls for a stray named Angel (played by Alyssa), who the Junkyard Dogs' leader (Chazz Palminteri) also has his eyes on. Scamp also features the voices of Jodi Benson, Jeff Bennett, Cathy Moriarty, Bronson Pinchot, Mickey Rooney and Bill Fagerbaake. Back to the top |
