Cloning should be illegal except for copies of Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Wasn't this directed by Adam Shankman who did the choreography for Once More With Feeling at Sarah's recommendation.

Derf | July 19, 02:41 CET

And, is it any good? Go Ricky!

gossi | July 19, 02:44 CET

Yes, and I believe he also performed Sarah & Freddie's wedding ceremony.

I saw the HBO "Making Of" special for Hairspray and it looks really good. I hope it lives up to the preview.

Sarah looks really great and so does Freddie.

I love the 'she dragged him along' implications of the line "Freddie Prinze Jr. was also there to accompany his wife."

Sarah looks terrific, but I'm not optimistic about the new version of Hairspray. Here's the New Yorker review. It doesn't look promising. I saw the Broadway production in May and it was wonderful. I'm also a huge fan of the John Waters original. I'm sorry, but Travolta can't compete with Divine.

She's beautiful, but she just wears too damn much eye makeup! Whew! Finally got that off my chest.

batmarlowe | July 19, 07:00 CET

She looks fantastic, but I cant fathom why you'd wear black shoes with that color.

As has already been mentioned, Adam Shankman, the director of ‘Hairspray’, is a close friend of SMG. He worked as the choreographer on OMWF, on her recommendation, and officiated her wedding. Gellar also interviewed him for Out magazine in January 2006. A scan can be found at SMGfan.com here.

Of more immediate interest may be an interview she gave to OK magazine while she was in London recently. It is not available online, but here are some extracts:

Sarah, we know you’ve earmarked a few things to buy but we can’t help but notice you're clutching a Harrods bag...

Oh, I had to get this. It’s my friend Anthony Head’s show… he plays the Prime Minister.

Ah you must mean Little Britain...

Yes, Anthony is just so incredible, he’s so talented and I’ve only seen a few sketches from the show so I’ve bought the box set so I can watch them all.

Anthony appeared alongside you in Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Now the show is over, do you still see him?

It’s funny because I haven’t had a trip over to the UK in four years, but every time Anthony’s over in the US we try and hook up, but I haven’t seen him all that much. We speak though – he’s a great guy, very loyal.

What’s your perfect night in?

We like watching South Park. I really love that show. And it amazes me because it only takes three weeks to get a show out so it’s always really topical and it’s always hilarious. I just really love it. And Family Guy, Seth’s show (former Buffy co-star Seth Green) - That really makes me laugh too.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was so successful - would there ever be another series?

I think it’s really important to be true to the characters and the story you are telling. And one thing we always agreed on was to go out on a high. I never wanted people to be over it. You don't want to run out of stories.

But fans are asking for more…

I love that people still want to see more but again you have to do it right. Sometimes it’s better to preserve something. Buffy was iconic and it will go down in history as one of the greatest female empowering shows - and it's just not me saying that. I know that it’s true. Sometimes it’s best not to mess with something that good.

One thing that Buffy did was make you a role model - and you take that very serious, don't you?

Oh absolutely, I take it very seriously. Listen, if I’m able to help or lend my support to something because I’m in a position where people look up to me, then its my responsibility to appreciate and honour that. It’s certainly not something I take lightly.

Thank you, alien lanes, I'd never seen those quotes!

Pointy | July 19, 15:51 CET

She looks fantastic, but I cant fathom why you'd wear black shoes with that color.

Cos they were the nearest to hand ? [/bloke mode] ;-)

Interesting quotes alien lanes, ta. Personally I think 'Little Britain' might get a bit samey watching it in marathon DVD sessions, hope she enjoys it though. It's always simultaneously slightly disappointing and kinda funny to watch SMG dance around the 'Buffy question'. Smooth moves ;).

(and re: photos wow, On This Day: Sarah Michelle Gellar looked fabulous - better make a special note, once I get over my complete lack of surprise ;)

Saje | July 19, 16:31 CET

"Usual rainbow carpet"??? Has the red model become passe`?

And the choreographer officiated at the weding?

DaddyCatALSO | July 19, 16:32 CET

And the choreographer officiated at the weding?

Heh. "As we bring these happy proceedings to a close, please rise and in celebration of this joyous event ... everybody cut, everybody cut ... everybody cut, everybody cut ... Footloose !" ;).

Saje | July 19, 16:41 CET

numbereleven - Black and blue can be worn together contrary to popular belief, in fact it's a huge combo on the runways at the moment. If you check out any runway show for the new winter season you'll notice designers have really taken to pairing lots of darker colours with black, especially dark blues.

Ashley - FPJ's there because he's also good friends with Adam Shankman, not only to accompany his wife (which I'm sure he wouldn't mind anyway :)).

Kyotoyoshi | July 19, 18:01 CET

Her dress is gorgeous (and I have no problem with the shoes, although I might have gone with a nude or metallic hue myself), and her arm candy looks fantastic. My one tiny problem is with the hair, which could have used a smoothing serum of some sort.

But when you've got so much going for you, and you're such a class act, you can totally get away with a bit of frizz.

binkaboo | July 19, 19:32 CET

binkaboo: It doesn't show on those pictures, but it was absolutely tipping it down with rain. Her hair was relatively frizz-free under the circumstances...lol.

Impossible | July 19, 23:52 CET

Cute dress, but I fear that it will continue to perpetuate the SMG baby bump rumors that she can't seem to shake.

BrewBunny | July 20, 00:13 CET

Over recent weeks, I think she has completely dispelled those rumours. They'll no doubt start up again in time. She is a married female celebrity after all *sigh*

Impossible | July 20, 02:22 CET

Thank you for that excerpt, alien lanes! It's nice to hear that SMG and ASH keep in touch (and to read her nice compliment of him, too).

LKW | July 20, 02:24 CET

SMG also mentions in that OK magazine interview that she still sees David Boreanaz.

Buffyfantic | July 20, 03:54 CET

Heh. Saje. *guffaw*

"You may now kiss the bride. Jazz hands, everyone!"

SMG is radiant. And she does the "Dance Around Buffy" like the acting-pro-of-many-years that she is. I always appreciate seeing her and contemplating that portrait she has in a closet somewhere getting older.

*sigh*

Youth is wasted on all the wrong people.
