'Angel' star says "I Do"
Angel is married. (Does this mean he's no longer a vampire?)
David Boreanaz, who plays Angel on the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" spin-off "Angel", wed his actress girlfriend over the American Thanksgiving weekend, zap2it.com reports.
David married Jamie Bergman, who stars on the show "Son Of The Beach", in Palm Springs after the two delayed their original wedding date, set for the weekend after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
This is David's second marriage and Jamie's first. The two were engaged on July 14.
Meanwhile, David's former on-screen love interest, Sarah Michelle Gellar, is planning to get married to Freddie Prinze Jr., although the couple hasn't revealed any details about their plans.

Angel premieres tonight
The WB's season premiere of "Angel" will feature a bit of romance.
The supernatural show and spin-off of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" will kick off its new season tonight (Sept. 24) on The WB at 9 p.m. (ET), TV Guide reports.
On Tuesday's episode, brooding vampire Angel and his friends will have to fend off a cherub who infects them with problematic emotions.
During the episode, Angel will begin to come to terms with the death of his ex-girlfriend (and vampire-slayer) Buffy. He might even find a little romance of his own. Rumours of an upcoming fling between Angel and new character Fred (Winnifred) are flying across the Internet.
"She likes him, but I'm not sure how much it's going to be reciprocated," Amy Acker, who plays Fred, told E Online in an interview.
Meanwhile, producer David Greenwalt hinted that Angel would be moving on soon and leaving his Buffy romance behind, but he also revealed that Angel might have a setback.
"Just as he is getting over Buffy, there's a big thing that comes back to haunt him," Greenwalt said. "You'll see at the end of episode one what he has to deal with. So, whether he's going to be dating, he's certainly going to have his hands full."
In more "Angel" news, the new trailer for the highly anticipated movie "The Fellowship Of The Ring" -- the first in the "Lord Of The Rings" trilogy -- will air during Tuesday night's episode of "Angel".

Romance for 'Angel'
TV's Angel might be getting a brand new love interest.
Now that "Angel" is on the WB and its original home, "Buffy The Vampire Slayer", is on UPN, there will be fewer chances for "Buffy"/"Angel" crossovers. That means fewer romantic moments between Angel and Buffy, and the need for a new girl in Angel's life.
Amy Acker, who is a new member of the "Angel" cast and plays bookish Winnifred Burkle who appeared in the final four episodes of last season, just might provide Angel with the romance he needs, TV Guide reports.
"I have a big crush on Angel," Amy told TV Guide about her character, "but I'm not sure that it's reciprocated."
But there's definitely potential between the two characters because, as Amy says, "we're both kind of outsiders. So we'll see".

'Angel' gets engaged
TV's broodiest vampire finally has something to be happy about.
David Boreanaz, of The WB's "Angel", is engaged to a fellow TV star, Mr. Showbiz reports.
The 32-year-old actor, who first came into the public eye on The WB's hit show "Buffy The Vampire Slayer", is now engaged to Jamie Bergman, who stars in the comedy "Son Of The Beach".
In more "Angel" news, the show will launch its season premiere on The WB on Sept. 24, and although "Buffy" has moved to a new network -- which means no more "Angel"/"Buffy" crossovers -- there are still plans to involve Angel's past romance with Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar), TV Guide reports.
"In the first episode, everybody's waiting for the other shoe to drop about her death because they know he's got to be grief-stricken," said executive producer David Greenwalt about Buffy's death on the season finale.
When Buffy is finally returned to the land of the living on "Buffy", "Angel's" plot-line will mention her too.
"We won't act as if when she comes back to life, he doesn't want to see her," said Greenwalt.
Greenwalt went on to say that although some serious events may happen to Angel and his gang, the writers and creators of the show have decided to stick with a lighter mood in upcoming episodes.

'Angel' gets a nemesis
TV's broodiest Angel is getting a new enemy this fall.
Keith Szarabajka will join the cast of The WB's "Angel" (the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer spin-off) as Holtz, a vampire slayer, zap2it.com reports.
Holtz is a character from Angel's blood-sucking past, with a well developed hatred for vampires -- especially Angel.
"He was a decent family man," David Greenwalt, the executive producer of "Angel", said about the new character, "but he also became a fearless vampire killer. He particularly hunted Angel and Darla across half of Europe in the late 1700s, and they reciprocated by eating his wife and children, because they thought that would be funny."
Holtz was eventually told by a demon that he wouldn't be able to kill Angel, so he was put to sleep until the show returns this fall.
Szarabajka's acting credits include the '80s series "The Equalizer" and Stephen King's "Golden Years".
"Angel" returns to TV-land with new episodes on Sept. 24.

WB cancels sci-fi, renews soap
The WB is shaking up its teen-show line-up, and some sci-fi fans won't be happy.
The network is planning to keep "Angel," the "Buffy" spin-off but is expected to axe their extraterrestrial teen show "Roswell," zap2it.com reports.
Meanwhile, "Felicity" has been saved for another season, along with "Dawson's Creek" and "Gilmore Girls".
"Popular" and "Jack & Jill" (starring Amanda Peet) weren't so lucky, though. They've been cancelled.
The WB has also ordered a handful of new shows, including "Raising Dad" which stars Bob Saget as a single father; "Maybe I'm Adopted" which is about a girl who doesn't fit in with her strange family; and "Smallville", a drama about Clark Kent (Superman) as a teenager.
Eddie Cahill, a familiar face from "Friends" and from the WB's "Felicity", has his own show on the WB now. Eddie will star in "Glory Days", about a writer who wants to go home. Kevin Williamson, the "Dawson's Creek" mastermind, will executive-produce the show.
