The "Dating" Scene with Alyson Hannigan
Feb 14, 2006 - Lynn Barker
We all know that "Willow" from "Buffy" is married to gorgeous Alexis Denisof from "Buffy" and "Angel" but, this week, friendly, red-haired beauty Alyson Hannigan is single and lookin' for love again in the comedy send-up film Date Movie.

Taking a break from her comedy TV series "How I Met Your Mother", Alyson looked casual but classy in jeans, red spike heels, rust-colored, fitted shirt and gold jewelry when she met with journalists recently in Beverly Hills to chat about life since "Buffy", her new TV show and having a blast in Date Movie making fun of every romantic film she'd ever seen. The experience included working in a really uncomfortable "fat suit", a la Gwyneth Paltrow in Shallow Hal. After the experience, she has new compassion for those out there who are a little more plus-sized...
TeenHollywood: How was the fat suit and did you go anywhere in it off the set?
Alyson: It was incredibly hot. It was definitely an interesting sort of experience. As soon as they told me I could get out of it, I was out of it. [The movie's] base camp was actually rather close to the actual restaurant, [where we shot] so I walked to the restaurant. People didn't look at me. They were kind of rude. But, everybody on set was really sweet the first two days I was in the suit. And the third day I was back to the normal me and people were coming up to me and introducing themselves. I'm like, 'Dude, I had lunch with you yesterday. What are you talking about?' Yeah, so obviously the crew members hadn't read the script and everything. It was definitely interesting.
