Though things are quiet and I’m on semi-vacation from the site, I wanted to drop a quick update to wish Yvonne Strahovski a very Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to Yvvvvvvoooooonnnnnneeeeee!!!!
Happy Birthday to you.
There we go. Another year older, but more beautiful than ever, eh? A lady doesn’t reveal her age, so we won’t talk about it here (hint: it’s one more than last year).
Comment below to express your birthday wishes to Ms. Strahovski!
Reports are coming in that Yvonne Strahovski has finally caved to both fan and peer pressure. As of June 2nd, user @Y_Strahovski has shown up on twitter. So far there are only two posts:
June 2nd: Hi everyone!
June 5th: This is it. I finally did it. This is me, the real Yvonne Strahovski and I have joined twitter. Now, how do I use this thing?
I was hesitant at first, but it looks like Adam Baldwin has stepped in to vouch for the new Twitter user:
June 5th: Welcome Aboard! | RT @Y_Strahovski”This is me, the real Yvonne Strahovski and I have joined twitter…” | I promise it’s really her!
Adam Baldwin’s word is good enough for me. He’s about as upstanding of a fella as Hollywood’s got.
I’m pretty excited! I hope that everyone on Twitter treats her with the same respect and grace that we try to treat her with here at Strahotski.com.
So go follow Yvonne. She already had almost 2000 followers, but I think we can do better than that. Strahotski.com readers unite!
Well it’s been a crazy week in the Yvonne Strahovski fan-world so I thought it might be useful to make a post rounding up all that’s been going on in the world.
With so many screen caps and reviews scrolling by, the front page just can’t hold it all!
We still have a few days before the next episode so there’s still time to go back and comment on the reviews and caps for each episode.
With a lot of effort and determination, Yvonne Strahovski fans managed to pull out a narrow victory over Smallville’s Allison Mack. The forums were alight with fervor over getting the win and the dedication paid off.
This particular win is perhaps a tad bit more poignant than some online polls because Yvonne Strahovski and Adam Baldwin both campaigned for Yvonne.
That wasn’t the end of the story, though! Turns out Bailey got a chance to attend ChuckFest where she met Yvonne Strahovski. Bailey shared a nice video of the meet-up on her Twitter account.
NBC Press Tour Party
To promote Chuck, Yvonne attended the NBC Press Tour Party. A lot of great pictures have poured in over the days of Yvonne in her beautiful white dress.
You can check a lot of those out in our forums, mostly thanks to bzzg and her mad photo finding skills.
Chuck Season 3
If you’re at all visiting this site, then surely you already know that Chuck Season 3 premiered this week with astounding numbers.
To help recap the fun that was the season 3 premiere, here are some quick links to all of Strahotski.com’s coverage:
Whew. I don’t know if that’s all of the Yvonne news for the week, but I think it should cover the highlights. At the very least it should keep you busy until next week’s episode , Chuck Versus Operation Awesome.
The news is trickling in that Chuck has a new start date for the fall — a full 3 months earlier than predicted!
The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Chuck will be back for its 3rd season starting on Sunday, January 10th for a 2 hour premiere of back to back episodes.
The third episode will then play the very next night at Chuck’s old slot on Mondays at 8pm. Heroes will shift back to its old 9pm time-slot.
Check out the Season 3 Teaser below:
Welcome news indeed! Not too much longer without our weekly Yvonne fix. I, for one, can’t wait!
Warner has finally released the full details for Chuck: The Complete Second Season, coming on DVD and Blu-ray. It looks like all 6 discs will be hitting stores on January 5th, and will include 3D glasses for Chuck vs. the Third Dimension.

Declassified Scenes
Gag Reel
I don’t know about you, but I think A Real-Life Captain Awesome’s Tips for Being Awesome sounds pretty hilarious.
Also, don’t forget that Yvonne will be appearing (albeit in digital form) in Mass Effect 2, which will be hitting PC and Xbox 360 on January 26th. I think that’s her on the cover.
UPDATE: Reader Mike pointed out that if you zoom in on the Mass Effect 2 cover on Amazon’s site, you can clearly see that it is in fact Yvonne on the cover:
