Actor Lucy Lawless and seven other Greenpeace protestors have pleaded guilty to unlawfully boarding a ship after appearing in the Auckland District Court this morning.

The group originally faced burglary charges but those were today withdrawn.

Lawless and seven activists carried out a four-day protest aboard oil drilling ship the Noble Discovery in February.

The group were arrested and charged with burglary.

The eight defendants have been granted bail and will reappear on September 14.

Outside court today Lawless said she was not sure if the impending conviction would affect her ability to travel with her job.

“I don’t believe so, but we’ll see how that plays out.

She has no regrets about her actions.

“Certainly I stand by what we did and our need to do it. Peaceful action is the only way forward." Click here to find out more!

But she is not in a hurry to do it again.

“I’ve got no plans to reprise my role on an oil rig, but I had to do what I had to do.”

“But what is it with liberal actors and stupidity anyway. It’s like God gives them this incredible creative ability but has to take something away for balance. And that something is always IQ points.”

Personally, I always preferred Callisto, but then again I have a thing for crazy chicks.

Where was Gabrielle during this? She was the hotter of the two

No way, Gabrielle was cute...but she just talked too much! Warrior women in sexy armor are just hot! (full disclosure...former SCA heavy, former FRP gamer (before computer games), Lord of Rings fan...etc etc).

Absolutely! Callisto was by far the hottest babe ever on Xena. I saw her later on an episode of 7th Heaven as a teacher and she was even more sexy then.
