Yesterday was Comic-Con 2009, and the whole Chuck cast was there in San Diego to thank the fans for saving the show, and to talk about next season. Yvonne was beautiful as always, but unfortunately didn’t get to answer a lot of questions on the panel.

She did, however, get to dance to a hilarious live performance by Jeffster:

In addition to the panels, there are always lots of interviews and press appearances at Comic-Con. Our lovely Yvonne gave a great interview to Kevin Pereira from G4’s Attack of the Show. I can never get enough of the Aussie Accent Awesomeness:

You can find more Comic-Con coverage, including tons of pictures in our forums.

If you were at the Con and have some pictures you’d like us to share, send them our way!

Sleuths in our forums have recently uncovered an interesting fact about some work Yvonne has been doing on the side.  Apparently, she’s dabbling in video game voiceover and modeling.

Mass Effect is a game from Bioware released in 2007. Fast forward two years later, and a new game in the series is coming out for the iPhone called Mass Effect Galaxy, which introduces the character of Miranda.

The game is intended to serve as a narrative bridge between the first Mass Effect and the upcoming Mass Effect 2 in 2010.

Yvonne provides the voice for Miranda, whom was also modeled after Ms. Strahovski. The screenshot above makes it incredibly clear; the profile looks exactly like Yvonne.

Though Miranda is slated to appear in Mass Effect 2, there is no confirmation as to whether Yvonne will reprise the role.

If you’re into gaming, it might be worth a look to get a digital Yvonne Strahovski fix.  I might have to check out Mass Effect 2 next year!

Edit by Rob: Here’s a link to Mass Effect Galaxy on the app store for you iPhone and iPod Touch people out there…

I just got a tip from Karina, the Gluten-Free Goddess that the trailer for The Canyon has finally been released!

The movie stars Yvonne Strahovski and will be premiering at the Fantasia Festival in Montreal.

Check out the trailer below for some Yvonne in a pretty different role than Sarah Walker. You can read more about the film over at Twitch Films.

I should point out that Yvonne looks amazing in the trailer, though she seems to have failed to escape from doing scenes in her underwear.

Be sure to check out our original article on the movie from a couple of years ago, where we got some great words about Yvonne Strahovski from Karina.  Sounds like Ms. Strahovski is every bit as delightful as she seems.

Here’s hoping we see a relatively wide distribution in the US so that we can all get an Yvonne fix on the silver screen.

Though Yvonne’s been in a few top 100s and top 10s lately, I’ve failed to get the word out in a timely manner.  Reader bzzg has caught my attention this time, though, with some nice scans of Yvonne Strahovski from Best Life magazine.

I’ve thrown them up in the magazine pics gallery for posterity.  There are 3 in total, so be sure to head over and check out the third!

Yvonne is as beautiful as always, and if you read the text you’ll learn what she looks for in a man.  Why does it seem that magazines are so interested in that topic?

Enjoy!

Although NBC has not officially held its upfront yet, the news is pouring in via a number of sources that Chuck has been renewed for a third season.

The caveat is that it’s only for 13 episodes (with a potential back-9 pickup) and there’s going to be some budget cutting.

Exactly how the budget is going to be cut isn’t yet released, but expect to see some minor characters reduced in scope and possibly eliminated altogether.  It is also reported that the show is going to lose a couple of staff writers.

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that Yvonne Strahovski is not in danger of getting the boot.

In addition to at least 13 more episodes of Sarah Walker, there has also been news that Yvonne Strahovski is set to star in at least two more films in addition to “I Love You Too” announced late last month.

The ever-loyal Strahotski forumners have created threads dedicated to each, a heretofore unnamed project and a movie called “Shadows from the Sky.”

Though both are early in development and it is not entirely clear how big of a role Ms. Strahovski will play, I’m sure you’re all with me when I say that any amount of Yvonne is a great thing!

So check out the forum threads, and breathe a collective sigh of relief.  Whether it was the “Save Chuck” campaign, divine intervention, or just good business — Chuck is back!

Edit: The official announcement has been released.  It looks like we won’t be seeing Chuck back until March, though.
