On behalf of all of us here at HBE we’d like to congratulate Bridget on the birth of her daughter, Frankie Jean. We can’t think of a better Christmas present or way to start the new year!

Camp Wanatachi is encouraging people to send in friendship bracelets that they have made and the cast will wear them on stage. They will also send one of their own back to you. The information as well as where to send the bracelets can be found here: http://www.campwanatachi.com/post/2337933755/friendship-bracelet-exchange

Camp Wanatachi’s off Broadway dates at La MaMa ETC’s First Floor Theater (at 4A East 4th Street in NYC) have been announced. Ticket sales start tomorrow.

The winner of the Twitchange Skype conversation with Bridget did a write up of her experience. It’s a very good read, go check it out. You can find part one here: http://anngina71.livejournal.com/1122.html

And part two is here: http://anngina71.livejournal.com/1424.html

Enjoy! Helping Haiti and getting to talk to Bridget as well as getting one of her scripts! What could be better?

Thanks to Dianne for the link!

There has been a chance in the procedure for receiving autographed photos. You still send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the same address. However, now you have to enclose the picture you wish to be signed. Since LotS went off the air, Disney/ABC are no longer supplying Bridget with pictures to sign. So, now you have control over what she signs for you! But I’m sure we’d all be happy with anything!

And please do remember the self addressed, stamped envelope. She can’t respond to you if you don’t include that.

Over on 24-HR Entertainment they’ve named Bridget as their #13 Babe of Autumn. They’ve also given us some nice site love which is always appreciated. The more publicity Bridget gets the better, so go on over an leave a comment.

According to the Philadelphia Daily News Bridget will be attending this weekend’s premier of her new movie, The Best and the Brightest. So for any of you fortunate few who managed to get tickets before they sold out, you are in for a treat! As always, we’re happy to publish any reviews and/or pictures you guys might have of the movie and it’s premier.

You can read the entire article here: http://www.philly.com/dailynews/features/20101015_Philadelphia_Film_Festival_offers_an_early_glimpse_at_buzzworthy_movies.html

On a side note to the article, I don’t like us being called obsessive.

Update: Now it appears from one of Bridget’s Tweets that she won’t be attending the premiere. This is unfortunate, however, she also Tweeted that she has a good excuse. Whether this excuse is work-related or personal, we wish her the best! There will be other premieres!
