at TV Guide Online with
Joss talking about having a show about Faith. You can read

Just one thing for today...
the whole Rolling Stone article is here
for your reading pleasure. I highly recommend that you pick up the
actual magazine though because there are some wonderful pics in there and
reading on paper's so much better, isn't it?
04/19/00
Hmmm... what shall we
start with? How about Sarah Michelle Gellar being on the cover of
Rolling Stone (Issue 840)? The magazine should be hitting newsstands
soon and rollingstone.com
has a nifty online feature with a photo gallery that you can check
out here. They have part of the article up there and as soon
I receive a copy, I'll post the full thing here.
The MTV Movie Awards were
announced just recently and SMG received three nominations, all for "Cruel
Intentions." The nominations were: Best Female Performance, Best
Villain, and Best Kiss (with Selma Blair). You can vote
for her here.
Remember the TV Guide
interview with SMG where she commented on Keri Russell's (Felicity) Jane
article? (If not, go here.)
Well, Keri Russell has responded... but don't worry, she's not offended
and Russell says she respects SMG. Read
about it here.
PEOPLE Magazine is holding

Okay, I just have to
start off by saying how awesome IGN.com
is when it comes to Buffy's actors. They've had so many amazing articles
and interviews and they just keep coming. Now there's an interview
with Emma Caulfield which you can read
here. (Thanks for the info, Sarah, and thanks for writing the
great article!!)
There's also a small article
about Nick Brendon with some info on Star Wars: Episode Two at Cinescape
which you can read here. (Thanks
Michael!!)
E!
Online has a great section on the celeb race at Long Beach's 2000 Toyota
Grand Prix which Aly Hannigan participated in. One of the areas on
the site has Alyson's diary from the race, as well as pics and video clips.
You can see
the stuff here.
And 11th
Hour has a wonderful interview with David Fury that is a must read.
Check
that out here.

First off, the "Making
of the Video" STP show with SMG will be airing on MTV
this Wednesday, April 5 at 4:30pm, according to the MTV
website. So be sure to watch/tape (whatever).
Also, SMG is reported
to be signing on for another new movie. This was in TV
Guide Online's Insider newsletter:
SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR,
IT GIRL!: Sarah Michelle Gellar is going to be a busy little girl this
summer. According to The Hollywood Reporter, everyone's favorite vampire
slayer is set to star in Andrew Fleming's new flick, The It Girl. She's
also expected to headline James Toback's semi-autobiographical film Harvard
Man, but it's not clear whether she'll make both films on her summer hiatus
from the WB's Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
A small article from the
NY
Daily News on Charisma Carpenter: (Thanks Sneaker!!)
"Charisma-tic Star Needs
R&R"
Charisma Carpenter, leading
lady on David Boreanaz' "Angel," has been eagerly awaiting the end of shooting
for the season- so she can relax. "I need a rest," she told us as
the WB series was wrapping. According to the 30-year-old actress,
"After shooting the series for eight and a half months, I don't even want
to think of work. When I was on 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' I was so far
down the totem that I was able to have a balanced life. But with
'Angel,' there's no time for anything but work. We have worked up
to 19-hour days, and on Fridays, when we shoot, we start at four in the
afternoon and go straight through until the sun comes up. We've shot
as late as 7a.m." Charisma knows herself well enough to know, "two
months into the summer I'll be telling myself, 'I can hardly wait to return
to work.'"
And yet another IGN.com
article. This one is on Alyson Hannigan's role in the movie "My Stepmother
is an Alien." No significant news in the article, but a fun and interesting
read, nonetheless. Go
here to read it. (Thanks Michael!!)

well as Buffy and Angel comics. Read
it here. (Thanks Michael!!)
03/23/00
Loads of news today since
I haven't updated too recently... SMG is scheduled to be on MTV's Fanatic
sometime soon, but the date keeps changing. First MTV listed it as

reports that the air date will be 04/14. I'll keep you updated as
I find out more about this.
The STP video with SMG
in it, might debut April 3 on MTV's TRL, but this hasn't

be airing sometime in April. There's also a pic of SMG and STP's
lead singer, Scott Weiland from The
STP Network, which you can view here.

02/06/00
There's a very interesting
article at the Entertainment
Weekly website (it's also in the February 11th issue of the magazine)
about new developments in Willow's character. Read
the article here.
The other day AnotherUniverse.com
had this little blurb about the next line of Buffy action figures from
Moore
Action Collectibles:
"According
to Clayburn Moore, the new Buffy line will include a 'Beautifully dangerous
new Buffy with a season II hairstyle and new threads, the erudite and handsome
Giles in a three piece suit, the musical lupine Oz, the witty Zander and
the ravishing Cordelia.' Spike may make an appearance in the future lineup,
but Moore was cagey on details as to how the bad-turned-good vampire would
join the line."
01/30/00
There's an interesting
article an IGN.com about
Marc Blucas. You can read the article here.
(Thanks Michael!)
01/19/00
As you may (or maybe
not) know there is word that Buffy and Angel Playstation games are in the
works. Jeff Pruitt, the stunt coordinator for Buffy, said the following
on the Buffy posting board (Sophia is Sophia Crawford, SMG's stunt double
on Buffy):
"Sophia is feeling rested
now that she's had the Christmas break. She starts fighting again next
week on the show and I'm sure it won't be long till she's worn out again.
Especially since we are going to try to shoot the Buffy and Angel Playstation
Games on the weekends now. That'll mean zero days off for her for a while."
There's no word on when
the games will be released, but I will post more info as soon as I get
it.
01/17/00
There is an article in
the January 21/28 issue of Entertainment
Weekly dealing with Fox's shut down of Buffy sites. I was a bit
disappointed that there was no mention of The
Buffy Bringers, especially since we have been working so hard to bring
the media's attention to this cause, but it's still wonderful that a huge
magazine such as EW is writing
about this. Click
here to read the article.
01/12/00
I know this seems rather
off topic, but maybe it isn't. In visiting The
X-Files Official Site the other day, I learned that a boxed set of
all the episodes from Season One is scheduled to be released on DVD in
May 2000 (I was extremely excited by this news, being a huge X-Files fan).
So, to get to the point, there is hope that we may get entire seasons of
Buffy on DVD because it's owned by Fox, just like The
X-Files. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
01/04/00
Right now you can vote
at tvguide.com for Buffy
and Angel for the TV Guide Awards. There will also be ballots in
the January 8th and 15th issues of TV
Guide, but the online
voting is different. It's five special categories that are not
included on the paper ballots and one of them is Best Sci-fi/Fantasy Show,
for which both Buffy & Angel are nominated. So go vote
for them here and pick up a copy of the January 8th or 15th issue of
TV
Guide to vote for them in other categories.
