Alright, you already have a robot dancer , some robot houscats , and you even acquired a Roomba to protect your child from poisonous snakes — what’s next for your futuristic replicant menagerie? Starting in January 2010, the Japanese department store Sogo & Seibu will accept pre-orders for Actroid life-sized, animatronic female robots.

David Duchovny on Harald Schmidt...David is interviewed for the German late night show Harald Schmidt. Interview in English. And the following is the English translation of his introduction: "Helmut Zerlett meets David Duchovny" Helmut Zerlett took the time- time to meet David Duchovny! Zerlett and Duchovny already knew each other from the X-Files. About two years ago Zerlett jumped in to replace Gillian Anderson who called in sick because she had eaten spoiled egg salat and wasn't able to play. But back to the main topic: Evolution is the name of the newest sensational movie that premiers on June 19th. DD stays true to his alien hunter image and plays the scientist Aira Kayne (sp.?) who moons the army chief. Well before this a meteor crashes on the earth and is inspected by scientists who find a living species in it. Then the aliens spread over the whole city and cause a total mess but what is really amazing is how Duchovny shows his naked backside to the army mayor. Julien Moore and Orlando Jones and even Dan Acroid (sp.?) are rather relaxed facing the nearing Armageddon. (movie quotes) Freshly showered and smelling deliciously Helmut Zerlett enters the Hotel Four Seasons in Berlin on a beautiful Thursday morning. . Zerlett is well prepared since in Evolution the aliens are fought with hundreds of litres of shampoo. That is why Zerlett thinks this is the best question to ask the actor first:

We’ve frequently written about robots that either intrigue us or make us want to cower under our desks for fear of a droid revolution.

But our friends at Engadget have stumbled...
