Has anyone heard anything more about Jolene's baby? Wondering if she had a boy or a girl. There was just that radio thing with John Billingslsy and that was it.

No news about Jolene's having a baby except to say she was extremely busy and very hard to get a hold of to contact her to get comments about the Starship Troopers movie.

Reposting this news from the other board:

John Billingsley (Dr. Phlox) announced at a recent convention (Hollywood Xpo) that both he and Connor Trinneer were shooting an episode of The Mentalist. There's a bit about what he said at Trek Today:

Enterprise actor John Billingsley (Dr. Phlox) followed McNeill onto the stage for an irreverent session during which he joked with fans about everything from his co-stars to politics. “I’m left alone on stage because they’re all getting stoned!” he said of his former co-stars Connor Trinneer (Trip Tucker) and Dominick Keating (Malcolm Reed), who weren’t able to attend the convention.

Billingsley updated fans on his current projects: “I’m doing an episode of The Mentalist [right now]. Connor Trinneer is doing the same episode. I’m not the killer, and I’m not the victim. I’m [also] doing a couple of indie films.”

The actor also detailed two practical jokes he played on Enterprise lead Scott Bakula (Captain Archer). “For Scott Bakula’s birthday party—his 70th, I think—I dressed up as his first wife. I had large bosoms and a floozy blonde wig and came in with a vodka bottle, saying, ‘Scott, Scott, how could you leave me?’ I didn’t check if his children were there and they were, and they started crying. They thought I was going to their dad!”

Billingsley also pranked Bakula during the filming of “Dear Doctor” in the show’s first season. “There was a running voice over, and there was a scene in which I’m on the bridge and we stopped to pick up a disabled space ship. I recorded [a voice over] for the first rehearsal that said, ‘Look at the ass on that captain! I’d like to pull his pants down and give him a jolly rogering!’ Scott took it well.”

He also added that he wasn’t happy with the show’s oft criticized finale, “These Are The Voyages…,” joking that he would have liked to see a different ending for his character. “It would have been nice if I’d been an intergalactic god,” Billingsley said of how he would have liked the show to end for Dr. Phlox.

Trinneer was live on the Sci Fi Guys on Destiny Radio Network this past Wednesday (I missed it). You can listen to it after-the-fact here: Episode 9 of Season 4 Billingsley is featured in Episode Seven of the same season.

Saw some mention of this on Twitter, so I tracked down more info:

Dominic Keating recently appeared on "Sons of Anarchy" in the episode, "Lochan Mor" (October 26th). I missed this but I'm going to try to catch it in reruns. The episode is not on Hulu, but the teaser is and if you look carefully you can catch a mustached Keating just after someone says "step on the gas".

EDITED to add: It reruns tonightt at 9pmEDT/10pmCDT
