Gellar's New Role: From Slayer to Angel
STEPHEN M. SILVERMAN
people.com

Former "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Sarah Michelle Gellar starred in a new role in Manhattan late last week, taking center stage at the Angel Orensanz Foundation gala to help raise money and awareness in the battle against breast cancer.

Outfitted in what the New York Observer described as a slinky low-cut brown satin dress and a $11,000 Mikimoto pearl necklace, Gellar, exclaimed, "You can come take it off me!" (She meant the jewelry, not the dress.)

"But wait!" she cautioned as the men in the audience chuckled at her offer. "You have to pay for it first!"

The auction, held as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, benefited the Young Survival Coalition, an international non-profit group for those under 40 who battle breast cancer.

Several survivors of the disease were in the audience of the gala, as was proved when Gellar asked them to identify themselves by a show of hands.

"When I was playing Buffy," the actress told the crowd, "women were always telling me that I inspired them. And looking at you all, for the first time ever, I know how that feels. You inspire me."

Tales from the "Scooby Doo 2" Junket
Posted: Monday March 15th, 2004 1:35am (US-PST)
Author: Garth Franklin
Source: www.darkhorizons.com

The stars of the "Scooby Doo" sequel were in LA over the weekend to talk about the franchise's future, their upcoming projects and more to the likes of various press including CHUD. "Scooby Doo 3" came up with every one of them and there was some interesting things revealed:

Linda Cardinelli and Matthew Lillard have both signed for a third "Scooby", but both Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. aren't. Would Lillard still participate if "I don't know what's going to happen to tell you the truth. I'd rather not do it without [our] Fred and Daphne, but I have no idea. It's kind of a really interesting subject right now around Scooby-land".

Producer Chuck Roven explained a little about why they didn't sign like the other two: "Sarah was just coming to the end ofBuffy and I think that she realized what, in fact, the future held out for her, so I think she just wanted to be a bit more cautious about making a longer term commitment out and in the future. And Freddie, he goes back and forth about how much longer he wants to stay acting - whether he wants to move into other areas of the entertainment business as a writer or a director and I don't think that he wanted to make that kind of a long-term commitment because he also didn't know where his career was taking him".

Writer James Gunn also has ideas for story potentials: "I think there's a lot of other things we can deal with in the third movie, one of which is maybe going through Scooby and Shaggy'sfear and how that affects their lives". Finally Director Raja Gosnell gives us an idea about when to expect it: "If we had a script and the movie is a hit, I know they'd want to go right away. I can't honestly say how I'd respond to that sitting here in the room. I'd have to decide when it happens". If they do it, a choic of setting would be "Some European location, which I can't divulge".

Thanks to 'SJR'.

Gellar's Poison Passion
imdb.com

Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar has acquired a taste for eating poisonous blowfish since working in Japan. The Scooby Doo was already a fan of the nation's other specialties, such a sushi, before spending three months there to film her upcoming thriller The Grudge , but was immensely impressed by the poisonous fish - which is illegal to eat in her native America. She says, "I love Japanese food. They have this great fish market and you go down at like four in the morning and they cut open the fish and you just eat it right out of there. But my favorite was blowfish. It's completely poisonous so you have to slice it very, very carefully, but you wanna slice it just enough so you get a little bit of poison so that your mouth gets all tingly. It's delicious. It's so good I got a plate (but) it was a very little portion. So then I got a second plate of it. And then I was about to order my third plate when some of my castmates stopped me due to the fact that it's $85 a plate - to have poisonous fish!"

Gellar's McDonalds Ban

Scooby Doo 2 actress Sarah Michelle Gellar was banned from eating in McDonald's as a child - by the multi-million dollar company itself. The beautiful blonde was blacklisted by the corporation after appearing in an advert for rival company Burger King, in which McDonald's was named and shamed. And the furious lawsuit filed by the company named young Gellar, restricting her from dining at their fast food restaurants. Sarah says, "When I was five I did a commercial for Burger King. McDonalds were so outraged, they sued Burger King and named me in the lawsuit. I wasn't allowed to eat there. It was tough, because, when you're a little kid, McDonald's is where all your friends have their birthday parties, so I missed out on a lot of apple pies."

Prinze Wants Payback
EOnline.com
by Lia Haberman
Jul 1, 2004, 9:15 AM PT

Zoinks! Some bad business advice has cost Freddie Prinze Jr. big bucks, and now he wants payback.

Sarah Michelle Gellar 's main squeeze is suing his former manager for breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and negligence, claiming funky financial advice cost the Scooby-Doo star "hundreds of thousands of dollars."

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, asserts that manager Ric Beddingfield and his firm the Beddingfield Co. Inc., pushed Prinze to hire Jesse Greenspan as an accountant and business manager, even though he wasn't actually a certified public accountant.

"He wasn't looking out for Freddie best interests, he was looking out for his own interest and his friend's [Greenspan]. He had Freddie use this guy who wasn't qualified, he misrepresented his credentials and said he was CPA," asserts the actor's lawyer, Paul Sorrell.

On the say so of Greenspan (no relative of Federal Reserve Chairman Alan) and Beddingfield, Prinze went off to shoot Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed in Australia under his personal services loan-out corporation, Hunga Rican Inc., a "C corporation" under U.S. tax code.

(The corporation is named after a track on his father's 1975 comedy album Looking Good.)

That particular type of classification ended up costing Prinze "thousands of dollars in damages as a result of unnecessary payments of Australian taxes and U.S. alternative minimum taxes and the loss of use of foreign tax credits of over $200,000," adding up to more than $700,000 over the past four years.

In laymen's terms, the so-called money men messed up.

Prinze also claims that Beddingfield tried to sabotage his relationship with the Creative Artists Agency, intercepting phone calls between the actor and his agents.

(Oddly, the manager doesn't seem to be blamed for allowing Prinze to star as the Clearasil generation's poster boy in four successive stinkers Down to You, Boys and Girls, Head Over Heels and Summer Catch.)

The 28-year-old seeks unspecified damages.
He may need the money, depending on how receptive audiences are to Scooby-Doo 3 , due out in 2006. While the first live-action adaptation grossed $153 million in 2002, this year's sequel raked in only $83 million.

According to IMDb, Prinze also has some voice work on his upcoming credits list, including the 'toons Happily N'Ever After and Delgo, and is set to begin work on the indie drama Poolhall Prophets with Ving Rhames.

And if that doesn't work out, he can always count on his high-powered missus, with whom he joined forces in 2002.

Gellar's scheduled to star in a remake of the Japanese horror flick The Grudge this October.

She's also signed on to star in MGM's Romantic Comedy , a satire on several recent romantic comedies that revolves around a lovelorn guy who tries to win a girl's heart using movie-like tactics.

In addition, the erstwhile Buffy is lending her voice to two animated projects, 2004: A Light Knight's Odyssey and Happily N'Ever After opposite Prinze, and is scheduled to star in a musical comedy, Southland Tales, next year--keeping the couple's mutual bank account well padded.

THE LILLARD/PRINZE FALLING OUT

It sounded a bit bitter, but Matthew Lillard, when discussing his latest role as kind of the romantic lead in "Without a Paddle" says to Zapf, "I'm sick and tired of being seen as the goofy friend to a handsome no-talent stud actor who gets to kiss the girl." Hmm, sounded a bit like his pal Freddie Prinze Jr., whom he's played second-banana to in five movies, including the last two "Scooby-Doo" films. No comment to the suggestion that he means Freddie.

The Grudge star talks about that feeling of deja vu and enjoying life with Freddie Prinze Jr.
Thursday Oct 21, 2004 6:00am EST
people.com

She may be a scream queen, but Sarah Michelle Gellar sees her screen flirtation with the supernatural another way: "This is the field where women can really rule." Just in time for Halloween, the actress, who had a cult following as TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, stars in The Grudge, a remake of a Japanese horror film. Gellar, 27, recently talked about playing with ghosts, filming in Japan and hanging out with husband Freddie Prinze Jr.

Do you believe in ghosts?
I believe in the idea of spirits. I've been to houses where murders have happened and you have that feeling, that sort of eerie feeling. I get a lot of deja vu. I always feel like I've been here, and experienced this. Maybe I'm just crazy, but I definitely believe in the idea of something that powerful transcending.

What was the difference between doing this movie and Scream 2?
Cleavage. You could not wear a turtleneck in those movies.

Do you think you're being set up as the next Jamie Lee Curtis ? a scream queen?
No. I don't scream at all in this movie, if you'll notice. I yelp a lot. ... (Horror) is the field where women can really rule. I'm not the girlfriend. I'm not the wife. This is where women can take a hold of a movie and have a proactive job and the guy is the boyfriend, and people want to see the women be triumphant.

Were you recognized in Tokyo?
You know, the first three months that I was there, I obviously stood out a little bit being a little blonde American girl abroad, but I (had) a little bit of anonymity ... I was able to really experience something that I had desired for so long on a real level, not coming in through a back entrance and keeping my head down at a tourist attraction.

How is married life these days?
It's a lot easier when you don't have a television show. It's like, I can go on tour with this (press), and then I'm going to sit on a set for two weeks (where Freddie is working) and just hang and live off of his per diem.

But he didn't make it out to Japan while you were filming. How was that?
I made sure to make him feel bad about not being in Japan because he had gone to Japan when I was on Buffy. I was pissed because I wanted to go so badly. He would call me every night and tell me, "Oh my God, I went here. I saw this. I ate this." Luckily, I did get a lot of pearls on the way back.

How do you hold it all together with so much travel?
Marriage, friendship, anything, it's a partnership. It's something that you give and you take and you trust. That goes for anything. The more time that you put into anything is what you get back from it.

And what's the secret to staying so fit?
I work out when I have time. Right now it's five days a week, whether it's running or whatever. I'm just a physical person. I'm a Pilates girl. I'm not so much a yoga girl.

Do you watch what you eat?
I'm careful. I mean, I don't limit myself. A dessert tray doesn't go untouched in front of me. I love food and I can eat. When we were in Tokyo there was this Korean barbecue place that I loved. We had a lot of meat eaters on this movie, and I just don't get non-meat-eaters. I'm sorry if you are a non-meat-eater.

Finally, what about Buffy? Will she ever come back?
Buffy killing people with her wooden cane? I don't know. I mean, it's not in my immediate future. It's not something that I'm actively pursuing at the moment, but you never know.

SARAH MICHELLE NOT WORKING WITH FREDDIE NO MORE

While out doing press for "the Grudge" Sarah Michelle Gellar was asked if she plans on starting a family anytime soon. The former "Buffy" star was quite taken aback by the question (which Zapf did not ask but was there to witness!) "I'm not ready to start seriously thinking about that. I'm only 27 years old guys. Please, I have some time."

Meanwhile Gellar reveals she has no interest in working with husband Freddie Prinze Jr. again. "Not really. I don't think that audiences particularly love it." Gellar says, "I don't think that movie was hinging on Daphne and Fred's relationship, clearly. It's a movie about a talking dog. So that was a great experience, but we're not looking to make 'Eyes Wide Shut part 2,' I can tell you that right now."

Sarah Michelle Gellar: 'Suck Less'
Tue, Oct 19, 2004, 11:10 AM PT
By Kelly Glover, Special to Zap2it.com

"Do it again but suck less." These are words an actress never expects to hear from her director. However, after teaching Takashi Shimizu a few choice words on the set of "The Grudge," Sarah Michelle Gellar received that exact direction from her non-English speaking director: "Do it again but suck less."

"You know, there was a big mistake I learned early on. You always have fun teaching people bad things to say, like 'I hate her,' or 'I hate him,' or 'suck less' or any of those things. I remember it was really funny to all of us," Gellar recalls.

However when a CNN reporter came to interview them on-set, Shimizu, who generally speaks with the aid of an interpreter, spouted off the words Gellar and her co-star Jason Behr ("Roswell") had taught him. "Shimizu was like, 'Ah, Sarah Michelle, I hate her. She's crazy. Jason, nuts,' and said all of the things we had taught him," Gellar recalls. "That's one of those things where your heart stops, because while it might be very funny to us, it might not necessarily translate."

Gellar spent three months in Tokyo filming "The Grudge" a Japanese remake of successful "Ju-On" franchise. Shimizu, the original director of the Japanese film, also directs the English version -- which essentially means he is remaking his own film about a terrifying supernatural curse resulting in the death of those who encounter it are it's fury.

The star tells Zap2it.comabout her Japanese experience and how she loves her post Buffy lifestyle.

"Weekly television is the most incredible grind, and I remember before I left for this project, one of the producers called me and said, 'Now, Sarah, this is not going to be what you're used to. This is going to be really hard hours and really early calls and you're going to work like five days in a row.' And I'm like, 'What? I'm from television. What are you talking about?' Doing a movie and you have dinner afterwards!" she laughs.

A long-time fan of the Japanese horror genre, Gellar says that Japanese films leave more to the imagination than their American counterparts. "It's a lot more about setting it up and letting you take it to that place where it makes it scariest for you. It's not gory, it's not bloody, and I think because of that, it's much more chilling," she explains.

However, had "The Grudge" been typical American horror similar to her former film "I Know What You Did Last Summer," Gellar says she would have been more hesitant on taking on the role of the American nursing student living in Tokyo.

"I definitely did think about it beforehand, but women still have a long way to go in this industry in terms of roles where we can really sort of lead the film and drive it," Gellar says. "Look at past Oscar winners. Right after Halle Berry won, she did 'Gothika,' and Charlize Theron is doing 'Aeon Flux,' and why is that? Because that is the big roles where women can really drive them and be successful in them."

Gellar who made an appearance at this years ComiCon and in the past has hosted the MTV Movie Awards and "Saturday Night Live" didn't get a visit her from busy husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., ("Summer Catch"), however she says she wasn't lonely.

"It's very hard to be lonely in Japan. Clearly you miss your family, your dog, your home, but Japanese people are incredibly welcoming," says Gellar, who adds that the best advice she got before arriving in Japan was to learn basic Japanese.

Yet, working with a director who doesn't speak English is bound to cause some confusion. Director Shimizu says that while "The Grudge" was shooting in Japan "Lost in Translation" was released and, "I was very conscious about the film and very conscious about Sarah understanding what I actually saying. Meaning: what if something like 'Lost in Translation' was happening here? I was conscious about that," he admits.

Gellar, however, recalls that those kind of experiences happen frequently. "We abbreviate everything in English, so literally in the ['Lost in Translation'] movie where you see that scene where the director is talking and talking and talking and she says 'be happier,' that would happen constantly."

"I kept thinking, 'Is that really all he said? I know there's something you're not telling me, the part about where I suck, or the part about how I had toilet paper stuck to my shoe,' " she jokes.

Cultural differences on the set was also something Gellar noticed, but as an American the actress says she was afforded some concessions. "In America, we slate -- we clap the board -- and then action is their cue. In Japan, the cue is actually the slate. But to an American actor, that is the most jarring sound. I'd be like frozen and they were all waiting. I'm like, 'What's everyone waiting for?' So we taught Shimizu how to say 'Action!' and 'Cut!'"

"You don't realize how literal a language is until you're in a place like that," she says. "English makes no sense. Why do we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway? You're constantly having those experiences because of the language."

"The Grudge" also stars William Mapother, ("Suspect Zero"), KaDee Strickland ("The Stepford Wives") and opens nationwide Friday, Oct. 22.

Becoming ... Sarah Michelle Gellar

TRUE LOVE
"We are each other's best friend. He is my first love," says Gellar of Freddie Prinze Jr., whom she married in an intimate ceremony on Sept. 1, 2002, at a villa in Mexico's Costa Careyes. They first met in 1996 on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer but didn't begin dating until January 2000.





FRIGHT NIGHT
The difference between Gellar's new film The Grudge ? in which she plays an American student living in Tokyo who's exposed to a supernatural curse ? and movies like 1997's I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream 2? "Cleavage," says Gellar (with costar Jason Behr at the Oct. 12 L.A. premiere of The Grudge). "You could not wear a turtleneck in those movies."




DYNAMIC DUO
Gellar and her mother, Rosellen, a former New York City nursery school teacher (in L.A. in September), have always been close. Her parents divorced when she was 7 and Gellar, who graduated from Manhattan's Children's Professional School in 1994, was estranged from her father, Arthur, for years, until his 2001 death.





COUPLE TIME
"They just make you smile when you see them," says Prinze's mom Kathy of the couple (in 2000). And though having kids is definitely in their future ("We will make great parents because we had great role models who raised us," says Prinze), for now they're sharing their L.A. home with their three dogs: rottweiler Cody, Tyson (an Akita) and Thor (a Maltese).

Does anyone know anything about the article in The New Yorker that prompted Sarah Michelle Gellar to leave the William Morris Agency? It was in today's Page Six that the President of the company said some things about her and other celebs in the article.
Daze
I'm copying this directly from defamer.com

William Morris is in damage control mode as Tad Friend’s New Yorker profile of president Dave Wirtschafter makes the rounds in Hollywood. Yesterday, Sarah Michelle Gellar, the linchpin of The Grudge and Scooby Doo franchises, ditched the agency in a publicist-assisted huff. Here’s the offending quote from the article:

QUOTE
The tracking numbers for ‘The Grudge’ are amazing,” he said. “It looks like it’ll do twenty-five million”—in fact, Columbia’s remake of a Japanese horror film earned forty million dollars that weekend—“and that takes our client Sarah Michelle Gellar, who now is nothing at all, and it makes her a star, potentially. Suddenly, the Sarah Michelle Gellar space is meaningful.

Berry, Gellar Nix William Morris
EOnline.com
by Sarah Hall
Mar 18, 2005, 3:10 PM PT

Apparently, Sarah Michelle Gellar is more than capable of holding a grudge.

The actor left the William Morris Agency in a huff this week after learning of unflattering comments that WMA President David Wirtschafter made about her in a lengthy New Yorker profile.

In the piece, titled "Secret Agent Man," in the New Yorker's "Letter from California" feature, Wirtschafter said Gellar was "nothing at all" before the success of the horror flick The Grudge.

An outraged Gellar rapidly exited the agency, apparently in favor of management that can better appreciate her Buffy the Vampire Slayer acting chops.

Gellar wasn't the only Tinseltown type ticked off by Wirtschafter's candor in the 12-page piece, in which he made cutting remarks about numerous clients.

On Thursday, Halle Berry also bid a not so fond farewell to WMA in response to the article, reportedly feeling that it assaulted her privacy and rights as an agency client, per Daily Variety.


The Oscar winner was the subject of three paragraphs in the article, which quoted from a finance-related discussion Wirtschafter had with Berry's attorney about her starring role in the upcoming Perfect Stranger.

"She will be treated as an investor in the film for the difference," Wirtschafter is quoted as saying, "and for every dollar she invests she would get a dollar-fifty out of the gross until she recoups a hundred and fifty per cent [sic] of her investment."

Wirtschafter also stated that the Catwoman star was willing to "give up a little money to get a good director or costar."

Me-ow. Apparently, Berry is not willing to have her financial matters aired in a public forum.

The thesp is reportedly not seeking new agency representation at this time.

Perhaps concerned about losing additional clients, WMA issued an apology in an apparent effort to soothe ruffled feelings.

"As an agency, we are deeply sorry if any remarks in the New Yorker story have caused any hurt feelings or ill will," a WMA spokesperson told Variety. "It was never our intention to hurt anyone."

Here's the Page Six article:


HALLE IS LATEST TO BOLT AGENCY

STARS represented by the William Morris Agency are calling for the head of president Dave Wirtschafter following his disastrously candid interview with The New Yorker last week.

On Thursday, Halle Berry became the latest to bolt WMA. In the article, Wirtschafter revealed how much she was paid for "Catwoman" and named Alicia Keyes as his favorite client.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Lucy Liu previously ankled the agency, and there are rumors one of WMA's biggest directors may join the exodus.

One source told PAGE SIX's Tom Sykes, "Jim Wiatt [William Morris CEO] was on the phone with a high-profile actor, apologizing for the piece, and the actor asked Wiatt, 'So are you going to ask Dave to step down?' Wiatt had no response."

But agency spokesman Chris Petrikin denied a bloodletting was imminent, telling PAGE SIX: "That is ridiculous. Dave's job is 100 percent not in jeopardy."

Wirtschafter gloated to New Yorker writer Tad Friend about how Madonna's husband, Guy Ritchie, was no longer in "the groovy, glamorous place" he was when Wirtschafter represented him, and sneered at Wesley Snipes' box-office appeal.

Yesterday, Wirtschafter e-mailed a mea culpa to his staff, saying, "I am sad to announce that Halle Berry has decided to leave the William Morris agency. As you know I am the subject of a story in The New Yorker that has caused some problems. I had personal reasons for doing the article and I recognize that these became blurred with my professional life.

"I never intended to harm any of our clients and while I can elaborate on the fine points of how I was portrayed and what I said, I did participate in this and want to apologize for any hurt that has stemmed from it."

One insider snickered, "The story 'caused some problems'? That has to be one of the biggest understatements of all time."

An agency source told us, "Dave is usually a pretty Sphinx-like guy, but he did get overly comfortable with the reporter. When he gets on a roll he can be verbose and now it has come back to bite him on the ass. People are mad at him. But a lot of this is being stirred up by our competitors."

I Know What You Did Last Summer star Freddie Prinze Jr. woke with a cracked rib yesterday morning - and he has no idea how it happened. The Hollywood actor is currently in New York City promoting his upcoming sitcom Freddie, and he was taken aback when he struggled to get out of bed this morning because he was in such dire pain.

Prinze Jr.'s "Cracked Rib" Is Pain From Over-Eating

Freddie Prinze Jr. has stepped forward to sheepishly disclose that the pain he recently described as a "cracked rib" is actually just discomfort from eating too much Chinese food. Last week, the actor, married to his Scooby-Doo co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar, claimed he got out of bed in New York City with a mysteriously cracked rib. But he now admits that over-indulgence at one of his favorite restaurants is more likely the cause of his pain. He says, "(My rib) is not cracked. It's officially torn muscles between two ribs. I ate a lot and my stomach was a little upset and I went to bed and I woke up the next day and I felt like I broke a rib. (I ate) a lot of Chinese food. My favorite little place in New York is a place called Chun Lee and they have a lot of food and I ate all of it. It hurts really bad. They gave me Vicodin, but I can't take too much of that because I have to work. So they gave me these anti-inflammatories, but they make me throw up, which tears the muscle more, so it's not really that helpful."
