Benson in Boston

The basement of Central Square's Pandemonium Books was packed this past weekend when Amber Benson stopped by for a book signing. You may remember the 32-year-old Benson as Tara on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” These days, the actress writes comic tales and fantasy books. Her latest release is a paperback called “Death’s Daughter.”

Benson told us she’s still in touch with the Buffy crew, including hometown gal Eliza Dushku. Turns out, the friends met long before “Buffy” when they were both in “Bye Bye Love,” the 1995 divorce movie starring Paul Reiser and directed by Newton’s own Sam Weisman. “She’s super smart,” Benson said, of Dushku. “And she’s generous. She doesn’t just give money, she gives time.”

Two of the “Buffy” fans on the long line for a Benson autograph were Rebecca and Mary Moore, 18-year-old twins from Pepperell. “I related to her a lot,” Rebecca said, of Benson’s character on “Buffy.” “She was very relatable for people who don’t fit in.”

Honest, liljemsey, I hadn't read your post and just put up the same article in the "Valediction" thread at just about the same time you posted yours!

This is like mental telepathy, two Eliza Fans posting the same article at just about the same time!

This is better having a Random Article Thread to post in, I was puzzled as to what to do with mine. I'll just go in and delete mine. Actually, this is the second time this has happened to me this week, I accidently duplicated one of Sonya's posts earlier. You guys are just faster than me all around!

That's pretty cool of Amber to say that of Eliza. Thanks liljemsey. It'd be great to see them work together again for a third time.

1) Mercado La Paloma: Yesterday Natalie Portman checked out Trekking L.A./GOOD Magazine's Global Feasts, Local Streets event. She skipped the Thai food but seemed interested in the Chichen Itza menu. [StarWatch Inbox]

2) RockSugar: Earlier this week Eliza Dushku and former Laker Rick Fox came in for dinner. The two were very affectionate, hugging and kissing a lot. [StarWatch Inbox]

3) The Stand: Per an excited tipster: "Well, I was at the The Stand and in one sitting at lunch there was Tori Spelling actually eating! Billy Crudup and his family and they were shooting some documentary and Dave Grohl was there as well and they were interviewing him. I asked what for and it was about that hot dog thing you posted the other day and told me it was on you tube. Here's the link." [StarWatch Inbox]

4) Haejangchon: Before Wilco's 6/22 show at The Wiltern, Mikael Jorgensen (keyboardist) and his wife were spotted enjoying the marinated short ribs. Mikael appeared to be texting on his iPhone throughout the meal. [StarWatch Inbox]

Rick's a lucky guy! Thanks for this.

Very sweet quote from Amber regarding Ms. Eliza...funny, I always thought those two seemed the most approachable and down to earth off camera...kind of makes sense they have been friends all this time!!!

**andrew r** · 06-29-2009, 02:13 PM

I wonder if they still keep in touch?

There are articles that say they do. It would be nice to see the two at a convention together since they have known each other so long.

Eliza Dushku's Return to Boston

We were lucky enough to get some No R Lifestyle gear to Boston’s hottest actress while she was in town shooting her independent film “Valediction.” Here’s my buddy and No R Co-Founder’s account of the fortunate meeting (please excuse his attempted dig on me in the opening paragraph):

“The quest to bring the No R Lifestyle brand to national prominence continued 2 weeks ago. While putting a few back at the local watering hole with the work crew, I received a phone call with some interesting information. The excited voice on the other end informed me that they were filming a movie outside his work in Boston tonight and it was starring Eliza Dushku. Thinking that my buddy/co owner was just a huge fan of Bring it On or Wrong Turn, I did not see what this information had to do with me. “She’s originally from Watertown and loves Boston give her a shirt!” My buzz was instantly gone and I quickly turned into No R promotion mode. I excused myself from the cluster of beautiful women around me and raced home. I got home in record time to my buddy waiting for me in his car ready to put our plan in motion.

As we got to the set, with No R shirts in hand, we wanted to confirm that this was an Eliza Dushku flick. I asked the cop on detail what was going on here and he quipped “it’s a truck backing up.” (He was directing one of the trailers backing up.) I gave him a fake chuckle and left the guy who probably got picked on in high school so he became a cop to get back at all the bullies behind. After a few minutes of searching we got confirmation from a union truck driver, who had a hoop nose ring, that this was her movie. He then proceeded to tell us what he would like to do with Eliza and we quickly realized this was our time to leave.

After a half hour of searching, (mostly standing around hoping she would walk right into us), we decided it wasn’t meant to be and started to leave. On the walk back to the car we were passing several trailers. As we got to the last trailer in the doorway was a former Celtic by the name of Rick Fox. I remembered that Rick Fox was doing to Eliza exactly what the truck driver wanted to do to her and figured she had to be close. When we got by the trailer I looked back and could see that she was in the same trailer with him. We quickly circled the block to complete our assignment. We turned the corner and saw her trailer and three security staff blocking our opening. With Jason Bourne like moves I found myself only a few trailers away still unsuspected. I continued my way weaving in and out of trailers as if I was Calvin Borel. Finally I see the three security guards with there back to the trailer. I make my move. I get to the doorway and I see Eliza (she’s even hotter in person) and Rick. I tell her my No R Lifestyle story, very quickly knowing that security will notice any second, and hand her two shirts. She held it up and replied “Thanks. Cool idea, I like it.” I made some joke to Rick Fox that we didn’t have them in triple XL, who unlike myself with the cop, genuinely laughed. I thanked them and they said no problem as security apologized to her and escorted me out.”

It was really nice to see celebrities so chill with my buddy approaching their trailer like that. Whether it was because she was back in her hometown, or if she is always so receptive to fans, it was cool to see first hand what a genuine person Eliza Dushku is. Here’s to hoping that her movie comes out great and gets nominated for some Independent Film awards, and also that she is seen sporting the No R Lifestyle apparel!

Great article. I wish I would have got to read it sooner.

**andrew r** · 07-11-2009, 03:15 PM

Eliza would be a cool aunt to any of her brother's children. Shows you that she's not a girly girl as well.
