Weird celebrity couples at Nerd Prom are for other people.
Of all the incoming updates on new and sometimes weird, sometimes very cool things coming out of Nerd Prom, AKA Comic-Con, one of the newest and weirdest for me is the revelation that Eliza Dushku and Rick Fox are now dating.
Eliza Dushku, 28, is best known for her role as Faith the vampire slayer on Joss Whedon’s Buffy The Vampire Slayer and it’s spinoff, Angel, as well as the lead role in the short lived Tru Calling, and is currently starring in Dollhouse, also created by Joss Whedon, which will return for a second season this fall. Rick Fox, 40, is an (aspiring) actor and former basketball player, best known (by me) as the guy who was married to and may have cheated on Vanessa Williams.
And they’re dating.
Dushku was appearing at panel at Comic-Con called Wonder Women: Female Power Icons in Pop Culture along with Sigourney Weaver and Zoe Saldana and Elizabeth Mitchell.
The panel sounds interesting. And Eliza had this to say about the evolution and her casting in it: “I asked [Joss Whedon] to make me the most kick-ass, multi-dimensional character he’s ever written. He delivered.” But Eliza Dushku and Rick Fox? That’s just so weird.
