Speaking of reboots of classic female heroines, Sarah Michelle Gellar spoke to CNN this week about (a) her partnership with Nestle’s Share the Joy of Reading project and (b) the new “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” movie that Warner Brothers is currently working on. And our girl does not mince words. “It was a movie, it’s been made—it stars Kristy Swanson. They don’t need to make another one. I think it’s a horrible idea to try to do a ‘Buffy’ without Joss Whedon!” Sarah Michelle said. “That’s like honestly, to be incredibly non-eloquent, that’s the dumbest idea I ever heard.” Co-sign. Even if they cast the awesome Heather Morris of “Glee,” it just won’t be right. [NY Post] Keep reading »

Buffy Who? Sarah Michelle Gellar To Star In A New Thriller Series
Over the weekend, I got sucked into a “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” marathon on Oxygen. The classic vampire show was, in a word, amazing and Sarah Michelle Gellar was the perfect mix of kick-butt and vulnerable, with spot-on comedic timing. So why has her career tanked? Luckily, Sarah has a new show in the works—CBS’ “Ringer.” (Which bears no relationship to “The Ring.”) In this now-greenlit thriller series, Sarah plays twin sisters, uber-troubled Bridget and wealthy, perfect Siobhan, who had a big falling out for some mysterious reason. When Siobhan dies in a boating accident, troubled Bridget steps in and assumes her life, even sleeping in the same bed with her husband, only to find that she has a bounty on her head, too.

Heather Morris To Be Buffy? How She Stacks Up To Sarah Michelle Gellar And Kristy Swanson
Back in November, we told you that Warner Brothers is making a new “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” movie, only without Sarah Michelle Gellar, who became a girl power icon on the TV show, or Joss Whedon, who created both the series and the 1992 movie. Naturally, this doesn’t have us Buffy-philes very happy. But some casting news could be the silver lining on a cloudy day. Apparently, Heather Morris—aka the amazing Brittany on “Glee“—is being courted for the role. “They’re considering me!” Heather says. “I found out and I almost peed my pants ’cause I was so excited!”
So how does Heather compare to her Buffy predecessors, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kristy Swanson? A full analysis after the jump. Keep reading »
A New “Buffy” Movie? Don’t Get Too Excited
When I heard yesterday that “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” had been greenlighted for a movie adaption—again—I felt my heart start to palpitate. My first thoughts were: What will Joss Whedon have up his sleeve this time? Gosh, it will be so nice to see Sarah Michelle Gellar kick some butt again. And, most importantly, will Spike be back?
But then I started reading more, and my initial excitement turned to outrage. First off, there’s no word yet on whether Sarah Michelle will be reprising her iconic role. And, apparently, Joss will have nothing to do with this new movie at all. Keep reading »
Today Is A Big Day For Celebrity Births!
September 23rd is a big birthday for three new Tinseltown tots. Ellen Pompeo, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Jude Law’s baby mama, Samantha Burke, all popped out little girls today. Burke reportedly named her daughter Sophia, Gellar and husband Freddie Prinze Jr. named their daughter Charlotte Grace, and Pompeo and husband Chris Ivery named their little one Stella Luna. Now, which one will go on to date Sparrow James Midnight Madden?
UPDATE: You know, sometimes a gal gets so excited about babies being born that she doesn’t actually pay close attention to the details. All three babies had their births announced on Sept. 23rd, but were not actually born on those days. Sophia was born the night of 9/22, Charlotte Grace was born last Saturday, 9/19, and Stella Luna was born on 9/15. My bad. Keep reading »
“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” Movie Remake In The Works
You either are or love someone who is a “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” fan. For me, it’s my best friend AJ who once wrote “Buffy” fan-fiction and will never live it down. But in saying you’re a Buffy fan, everyone agrees it means you love the TV show, not the 1992 movie. (Which I argue was amazing purely on the basis of Luke Perry.) Yesterday, it was announced that a second “Buffy” movie is in the works—magical words fans of the show have been waiting to hear since it ended six years ago. But they were chagrined to discover that “Buffy” scribe Joss Whedon is not at all involved in this new project. Instead, the remake will be the brainchild of Fran and Kaz Kuzui, who produced the original movie. Oh, and Sarah Michelle Gellar will not be starring in this new flick. Nor will their be any Angel, Willow, Xander, or Spike in this new slayer universe. [HollywoodReporter] Keep reading »
Star Couplings: Robert Pattinson Sold Kisses At Cannes
Star Couplings: Sarah Michelle Gellar Is Expecting!
Sarah Palin: Who Should Star In Her TV Biopic
The Governor of Alaska and Republican VP hopeful, Sarah Palin, has more drama in her life than the new 90210. So before Lifetime makes her biopic, we decided to cast this lady’s dramatic life story in the hopes that someday they’ll finally script her personal plight that we’ve all come to know TMI about. So who would star in this juicy little made-for-TV movie? Here’s how we at The Frisky would do it! Now we just have to wait for it to be produced and run in perpetuity next to infomercials for face creams and slicer/dicers…..
Sarah Palin: NRA-supporter Sarah Michelle Gellar is a sharp shooter who grew up around guns….although that’s sorta scary when you realize she was raised in New York City. Needless to say, Gellar’s gotta be a tough broad who is made for TV and now TV movies. Even though SMG is 13 years Palin’s junior, you know they always cast adult women way younger — that’s the Hollywood magic. Plus, Buffy’s gone brunette and if you’d slip a pair of wire frame glasses on her, they’d look like sisters.
Buffy Likes Big Butts
Sarah Michelle Geller is back — and she’s got herself some too! The former Buffy star is busting out with three new movies this year, including Southland Tales, in which she plays a porn star. As shooting wrapped and Sarah Michelle was leaving the set, she just had to snatch one x-rated prop to take home with her. What was her must-have memento? Geller grabbed a fake porn DVD jacket starring her character, that had been created for the film. Since Sarah Michelle doesn’t do nudie scenes or exposure of any kind, the filmmakers had her face Photoshopped onto the DVD wrapping. “They let me pick the body of the girl they put my head on: I picked one with a curvy body and butt,” Sarah Michelle said. We’re kind of surprised the producers didn’t just hire Kim Kardashian. [Star Pulse] Keep reading »
