She’s the voice of Lois Griffin, the woman behind the MADtv character Ms. Swan, and this month she released her one-woman show DVD Drop Dead Gorgeous. She is, of course, Alex Borstein and to help promote her new DVD she put herself up for an interview with us.
Alex talks to us about comedy cocks, working with her husband, and Olympic gymnastics! Oh, and seeing as Seth recently revealed his top 5 Family Guy moments we thought we’d find out Alex’s list. To find out all this and more, go read Drop dead hilarious: the Alex Borstein interview over in our features section.

Last Tuesday Alex Borstein launched her new one-woman show DVD Drop Dead Gorgeous at the ACME comedy theatre in Los Angeles (where Alex started out). The party included special guests Adam Carolla and Seth MacFarlane among others. We’ve got some exclusive photos from the occasion (below) including one of Alex and Seth MacFarlance singing their famously filthy rendition of You Don’t Bring Me Flowers as Lois and Peter.
Drop Dead Gorgeous In a Down-to-Earth Bombshell Sort of Way is out now on DVD, a great Christmas gift for any fan of Family Guy or the wonderful Alex Borstein herself. You’ll find a clip of Alex in her stand-up act over at YouTube entitled Vagina Soap (also available via Alex’s MySpace). We posted some teaser trailers for the DVD earlier today featuring Ms. Swan.

A few new websites to draw to your attention. Firstly, to help promote the release of Family Guy Volume 4 on DVD next week (November 14th) part of the storyboard for North By North Quahog has been put online. Well worth a quick look.
There’s further online publicity for the new DVD with the launch of American Dad vs. Family Guy: Kung-Fu II Turbo! Hyper-mega edition. Yes, the hit online game is back with a second version, and this time with even more kick-ass action! You can even play as Ryu from the Street Fighter series in this version!
Finally, Alex Borstein, the voice of Lois Griffin, has now got her own MySpace. She wanted us to spread word of it here, so, mission complete!

The Family Guy – Seasons 1-5 Collection will be released on region 4 DVD in Australia on November 29th. Although the set claims to be seasons 1-5 it will actually be the episodes from seasons 1-4 as listed on this site; the seasons are being marketed differently in Australia to how Fox is defining them in the States (don’t ask us why). The packaging for this set looks pretty decent, and unique in comparison with the same set being sold in the US and UK.

Two new Family Guy DVDs are out today in the UK: Family Guy Season 5 (which is in reality the second half of the fourth season) and the Family Guy Collector’s Pack containing every episode from the first four seasons (although it refers to season 1 to 5 on the box). We are well aware that the labeling of the seasons on these DVDs are confusing, but for some reason Fox in the UK has decided to categorises the episodes differently to Fox in the States.
Originally Family Guy was only available on DVD in the UK and were sold as seasons 1, 2, and 3. Then the States caught up by selling those seasons as two volumes. Since then Fox has opted for global releases, which seems to have resulted in the UK DVDs continuing to be labelled as seasons despite not being complete seasons. UK fans do not need to worry though, as the same episodes are being released on both sides of the Atlantic.
Family Guy Volume 4 (the US equivalent of the UK season 5 release) is out in the US and Canada November 14th. Family Guy Season 5 is out in Australia tomorrow.

For those of you following the fourth season of Family Guy on BBC Three in the UK be warned that it moves to Wednesday nights this week! The first of the usual double-bill is 8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter at 11.20pm followed by Breaking Out Is Hard to Do.
The second half of season 4 is being released on DVD in the UK from next Monday as season 5 (the first half is already available as season 4). This means that once more the DVD release will be out before the BBC have even got round to showing the episodes on TV.
