'Battlestar' Babes in Maxim, Character Deaths, 'Millenium' Movie Rumors, and More TV News

- Cylon babes Tricia Helfer and Grace Park are steaming up the cover of the latest issue of Maxim, just in time for next week's release of Battlestar Galactica: The Plan on DVD. Both ladies posed for a sexy photo shoot guaranteed to make nerds -- and most dudes with a working pair of eyes -- very, very happy.

Helfer told Maxim that The Plan DVD features "explicit action," and she promised that her character, Six, will show "a little bit of skin" in the BSG prequel flick. Helfer also said a new character will take part in some very intense sex scenes. Way to sell it, Six!

Head after the jump for a video from the photo shoot and more TV headlines.



- In other sexy sci-fi babe news: StarTrek Enterprise's Jolene Blaylock is joining the cast of Sam Raimi's Legend of the Seeker. Blaylock will play "a mysterious Sister of the Dark who possesses very powerful magic," says a Disney press release.

- True Blood creator Alan Ball says one of the show's beloved characters is going to die next season. "Somebody is going to bite the dust and it's going to be really good to see them get what they deserve," Ball told TV Guide. Ball said viewers will be happy to see the character go.

- A major death is also reportedly in the works for NBC's Heroes, says E!'s Kristen. So who will it be? The obvious choice would be Hiro (Masi Oka), since the character has been "dying" since last year. But I'm thinking Zachary Quinto might also be looking for the exit this season.

- Is a movie based on the X-Files spinoff Millenium on the way? ScreenRant says series star Lance Henriksen was recently approached by private investors who want to make an indie Millenium film. And rumors are swirling that Fox, who own the rights to the show, are interested in making a film sans series creator Chris Carter. Indie director Brett A. Hart, who worked with Henriksen on the feature Bone Dry, says he'd love to direct the the Millenium movie if it happens.
