Note From Sandy
Hey fellow 2Ge+herites!
So...they didn't air the episode on MTV last night, and it seems as though Celebrity Undercover is stealing the time slot. They're not even going to repeat anymore? What's up with that? Well, to bring up your mood, there is a *lot* of good news in this issue, so make sure to check out the updates marked "NEW!" for more information. (Read each new entry thoroughly or you might miss the special new additions!) PS The member count is currently at its highest with a whopping 251 members! ::applause::

A movie about the life of Michael Cuccione (QT) is currently being scripted. Rumour has it that Paramount is considering filming it and David Hasselhoff has offered to produce. Los Angeles and Vancouver are potential filming locations.
NEW!
The final episode of this season, "Fat," which MTV has chosen not to run in the US, was aired on 04-19-01 on Trouble UK in England. So what's the big secret? Check out this summary:
In Episode 6, MTV runs a competition called "Play At My Prom" which requires 2Ge+her to play at the winner's high school. However, when a girl wins, Mickey is disgusted to find out that they have to perform at his old high school. Apparently, he used to get bullied there constantly because he was fat, and he refuses to participate.
In the meantime, QT finally gets a liver for his liver transplant and must remain in a private room with a space-like sterile suit in preparation for the surgery. His food is even sprayed with bleach so that he doesn't become infected before the transplant! Apparently, Michael is only doing voice-overs since the camera never closes in on his face. (Remember the grape costume?) The episode reportedly is pretty shocking in light of what happened to Michael Cuccione in the past and presently, and it even goes so far as to show a picture of a liver or something. We all think it'd be fine to air in the US, but I can understand why MTV may have doubts.
Mickey continues to freak out about the upcoming performance, eating everything in sight, until Jerry, Chad, and Doug take him back to his school and re-create his high school days for him, instilling good memories (such as fighting over who has him on their basketball team, sitting with him at lunch, and even taking a shower together!) and making him a lot more relieved. Finally, at the performance, as they begin "Sister" (which is relevant to Jerry, who tries to date two sisters in the episode), QT appears onstage in a massive bubble in his quarantine suit. They perform, dance with girls, and the like. Note: Mike Cuccione is not in this scene either. The QT body double is taller than the girl he's dancing with, something that doesn't seem likely when put into context. (Source: NoahzBreezerDevil@noahsmom.com)

For new descriptions ***AND A PICTURE*** of the Kevin (Doug), Evan (Jerry), Alex (Mickey), and Noah (Chad) dolls, e-mail me (subj: What Do The Dolls Look Like?). Although hard to find, these dolls are being sold at select Kohls locations by a company called Play Along Toys (playalongtoys.com). I bought mine for $11.89 each Although PlayAlong Toys is currently unsure of the dolls' future, the company also distributes other products to K-Mart, Target, KB Toys, Spencer's, JC Penney, FAO Schwartz, Signatures Superstars, Meijer, Ames, Shopko, Claire's, Sam Goody, and Walmart, so keep your eyes open! My local Kohls rep says that she has been unable to locate even one Michael (QT) doll although some have been purchased, so you may want to call your local Kohl's on a regular basis. New shipments come in 4-5 times a week on weekdays. Don't know where your nearest Kohls is? Surf onto http://www.kohls.com/about_kohls/about_kohls_where_we_are.htm to find out!
Wanna order out-of-state for the 2G dolls? As far as I know, these are the only two locations. Know of another? Let me know (subj: I Bought My Doll At...). You may want to call and verify your selected location's stock before you confront your local Kohls rep.

Here's the latest message from Kristina Van De Walle (Michael Cuccione's agent), posted on the 2gether.ca message board:
"This year's annual fundraising dinner for the Michael Cuccione Cancer Research Foundation is Saturday, September 22, 2001, at the Italian Cultural Center in Vancouver. Tickets are $60. There will also be a silent auction of all kinds of things and a 50-50 draw. Contact the foundation for futher information or to order tickets. This is expected to be yet another sell-out. And best wishes to all who are attending the fundraising dinner in Toronto this weekend. The Cuccione's have left Vancouver today for Toronto and are looking forward to meeting all of Michael's fans and those who have so lovingly supported them during this hard time. May everyone enjoy remembering Michael and raise lots of money to find a cure. Take care."
Michael Cuccione's younger brother, Stephan, has recently been doing some fundraising for his brother's charity. In Coquitlam, "Relay for a Friend" (a run for cancer research) will probably take place in June and will most likely also have some tie-in with Michael's foundation. (Source: 2getherdotcom.com)

Here's the latest message from Evan Farmer (Jerry), posted at Evan's official site on April 22:
"Hi everyone! I'm very happy that we're in England finally! Hi to everyone over there who's checking us out for the first time! Thank you all (again) for your amazing letters! It's been a full time job keeping up with them, but I love hearing what you have to say! Well, the most important of the news that I have is that the WBLI Summer Jam held in Long Island (the one we performed at a year ago) will be dedicated to Michael Cuccione and the Michael Cuccione Foundation 'Making a Difference.' Although there aren't any plans for us to perform, 2Ge+her will be there to host the dedication which will feature a short video reel in Honor of Michael. I hope to see you all there! It's (I think this is right) on May 27th. As for myself, I continue to work for Breast Cancer charities (I'm doing a 5k run in Baltimore this weekend) and there are still a couple of projects that aren't finalized that I may be in before the actor's strike (which is knocking at our door!) I hope this Spring has been great for all of you as it has for me!" (Source: EvanFarmer.cc)

What? picture
Who? This may be an common picture, but I think it's one of the best -- 2G as construction workers. I'd be scared to see them try to operate heavy machinery!
Quote/Fun Fact
In Awesum LuvR, who is QT talking about when he mentions Mary Kay Letourneau in the below line?
"Mary Kay Letourneau...she knew the truth.
It's all the young dudes who got the best grooves, yeah."
Here's the basis of the joke: Letourneau, a thirty-six-year-old Tacoma, Washington schoolteacher, has had two children with a fourteen-year-old student and was ordered to serve a suspended seven-and-a-half-year child rape sentence after being found with him for the second time.
Lyrics
5. Awesum LuvR
from "2Ge+her Again"
(Veit Renn, Brian Gunn, Mark Gunn)
MICKEY:
Yo fight! Yo fight, turn the mic up! Yeah! QT!?
QT:
Old people tell me I'm still too young
(MICKEY: Come on.)
To take a lady's hand and give it the tongue.
What do they know about puberty?
(MICKEY: Yeah.)
About being 14 and all filled with needs?
Mary Kay Letourneau...she knew the truth.
(MICKEY: Say what?)
It's all the young dudes who got the best grooves, yeah.
JERRY:
Call me the heartthrob. That was my choice.
I'm just a nice guy with a pretty girl voice.
If you're a girl with humor and style
(SOME CHICK: ::laughs::)
Come get with me and, girl, I'm gonna make you smile.
If you get scared, I'll take you by the hand.
I'll show you heaven. I will be your dream man.
CHORUS (ALL):
Gonna be your awesum luvR.
Gonna be your number-one man.
Wanna be your real heartbreaker...
The best luvR in all the land.
Wanna be your awesum luvR.
Wanna be your awesum luvR (lovR).
Awesum luvr...
The best luvr in all the land.
MICKEY:
Check three...
One, two...
SOME CHICK:
Let's get it 2Ge+her.
MICKEY:
Come on!
CHAD:
Are you sick of guys who come on too strong...
(MICKEY: That's Chad.)
Who just want to you see you wearing a tight thong?
I don't even know what a thong is...
(MICKEY: Whatchu say?)
But I got an A+ on the Teen Charm Quiz!
So sit back, relax, and I won't hit on you.
Just let yourself drown in my big baby blues!
DOUG:
Okay, so I'm older than your average teen
But, baby, I will treat you just like a queen.
I'm wise and mature and so generous, too.
And I'll never use cuss words like hump or screw.
A smooth older man is just what you need
'Cause lovin' is better at a way slower speed.
CHORUS (ALL, CHAD improvising)
MICKEY:
Some ladies like guys who treat them like crap...
Has lots of tattoos and is all into rap.
Well, guess what, that's me...your own ghangsta toy...
If you're the kid of girl who loves a real bad boy!
ALL:
I wanna be your...I wanna be your...
CHORUS (ALL improvising)
DOUG:
I wanna be your...
ALL:
Awesum luvR!
IN THE FUTURE...
