    Dolly Parton On Potential ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ Revival: “They’re Still Working On That”

    Dolly Parton gave a promising update on a potential Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival.

    In a recent interview, the country singer said producers were working on bringing back the series that starred Sarah Michelle Gellar.

    “They’re still working on that,” Parton told Business Insider in an interview posted Jan. 24. “They’re thinking about bringing it back and revamping it.”

    Parton didn’t delve into details about who was involved in rebooting the series. The “Jolene” singer is attached to the series that ran between 1997 and 2003 as a producer via her production company Sandollar Productions she co-founded with her former manager Sandy Gallin.

    Gellar talked about Parton’s involvement on the show in an interview last year noting that she never actually got to meet her in person.

    “Yes, little known fact, the legend Dolly Parton was a producer,” Gellar said during an interview on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon from Feb. 2023. “We never saw her [but] we’d get Christmas gifts in the beginning that would have our name, and I would think, ‘She doesn’t even know who I am.’ And then one day, someone asked her about it, and she complimented the show and my performance. I was like, ‘Oh, I can die now. Dolly Parton knows who I am and thinks I’m good.’”

    In Jan. 2023, Gellar said a revival “doesn’t need to be done.”

    “We wrapped that up,” she told SFX Magazine (via MovieWeb). “I am all for them continuing the story, because there’s the story of female empowerment. I love the way the show was left: ‘Every girl who has the power can have the power.’ It’s set up perfectly for someone else to have the power. But like I said, the metaphors of Buffy were the horrors of adolescence. I think I look young, but I am not an adolescent.”

  • Celebrity Halloween Fashion Hits and Misses Amid SAG-AFTRA Strike Costume Rules

    Celebrity Halloween Fashion Hits and Misses Amid SAG-AFTRA Strike Costume Rules

    Hollywood tentpole movies and hit TV series as usual drove a host of fashion choices for ordinary trick-and-treating fans everywhere — young and old — on Tuesday.

    But SAG-AFTRA‘s Halloween costume rules complicated fashion choices for striking actors as they were told by their union even after a backlash to avoid dressing up as Barbie and Ken or other superhero or sexy pop culture characters drawn from a struck studio project.

    On Tuesday, Sarah Michelle Gellar took to Instagram to announce she and Freddy Prinze Jr. decided to scrap their Halloween costumes as fellow actors walked picket lines on the 110th day of a labor action between SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents the major studios during ongoing contract talks.

    “Normally this is when we would post our Halloween couples photo, but due [to] the ongoing strike, we had to scrap our original costumes. So, if you are out trick or treating tonight and see a very realistic Sarah Michelle and Freddie costume… it might just be us. See you next year,” Gellar wrote.

    A flag-waving Don Lemon and partner Tim Malone on the former CNN host’s Instagram account stayed safe as they showed off respective Halloween costumes as Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden. Striking actors were reported to have dressed as generic ghosts, witches and vampires while walking a picket line outside the Los Angeles office of Netflix.

    But SAG-AFTRA didn’t have it all its own way with its Halloween restrictions on not dressing up as licensed studio movie or TV characters.

    Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly took to Instagram to post photos of themselves dressed for Halloween as bloodied Kill Bill characters from Quentin Tarantino’s 2004 movie. Fox captioned her Instagram post “@sagaftra,” apparently to mock the actors union.

    That drew condemnation from fellow actor Lisa Ann Walter, who took to X, formerly Twitter, to call out Fox for her fashion faux pas: “What a rebel. Keep posturing for stupid shit, pretty lady. Meanwhile we’ll be working 10 hours a day – unpaid – to get basic contract earners a fair deal”

    While Fox dressed up as Gogo Yubari from Kill Bill: Vol. 1, that film was originally released by Disney division Miramax, but the rights to the classic revenge thriller were recently picked up by Lionsgate, which is not part of the AMPTP and plans a re-release of the Kill Bill movies.

    Sarah Michelle Gellar is reminiscing about her former onscreen boyfriend, portrayed by David Boreanaz, in honour of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”‘s 26th anniversary.

    To celebrate the beloved supernatural drama, which premiered on March 10, 1997, Boreanaz, 53, shared a throwback photo of him and Gellar, 45, in character to his Instagram Story.

    “TBT: This a grumpy moment or brooding moment,” the actor wrote of his character Angel, who became Buffy’s first love.

    Gellar reposted the photo to her own Story, replying: “Always brooding you were never grumpy.”

    While the actress starred as Buffy throughout all seven seasons of the WB show, Boreanaz only appeared in the first three seasons as the centuries-old vampire before landing his character’s own spinoff series, which had a five-season run on the same network.

    Last week, Gellar took another trip down memory lane with fellow “Buffy” co-star, Pedro Pascal, who portrayed her college classmate Eddie in the season 4 premiere episode.

    Pascal, 47, has since reacted to Gellar’s post, in which she shared a photo of the two from the episode, telling Access Hollywood that he was “excited” to see her shoutout. He also recalled that it was “a super big deal” getting cast in the series.

    “Sarah Michelle Gellar remembers me and I want her to know that I remember every moment of shooting that episode, as brief as it was,” the “Last of Us” actor said. “She was such a kind scene partner and we had the best time.”

    “When #Mother met #Father,” she wrote.

    Pascal, who was credited as Pedro Balmaceda at the time, appeared in just one episode, season 4’s “The Freshman”.

    In it, the actor memorably plays nervous freshman Eddie, who quickly befriends Buffy, but soon after is attacked by vampires and turned himself, forcing the slayer to kill him.

    Back in 2015, Pascal spoke about his “Buffy” gig with Vulture, recalling, “That was one of the first jobs I got after I graduated, being a vampire — albeit briefly.”

    He continued, “It’s a funny thing because ‘Buffy’ is such a wonderful show, and it’s something that I got into kind of late in life now that it’s available for streaming. Now that I’m removed from having been on it, I got to really experience the show in all of its brilliant allegory.”

    Along with starring in “The Last of Us”, Pedro Pascal also leads “The Mandalorian”, which premiered Wednesday on Disney+.

    Sarah Michelle Gellar Shoots Down Fan Theory That Her ‘Wolf Pack’ Character Is Actually Buffy — Or Does She?

    Sarah Michelle Gellar has returned to her supernatural TV roots in “Wolf Pack”, the new Paramount+ series about teenagers caught up in a wildfire who become wounded by a strange creature, leading them to become werewolves.

    An intriguing fan theory has emerged about Gellar’s character, mysterious arson investigator Kristin Ramsey, positing that she’s actually Buffy Summers, who has taken on a new identity but will eventually be revealed as the Slayer.

    In an interview with Digital Spy, Gellar offered her response to the notion that her new role is actually an update of her “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” character.

    “That’s really funny. I like it. I’m down for it,” Gellar said before shooting down the theory.

    “No, I can tell you that one is not the case,” she declared. “That is not what you will find out, but that’s funny.”

    However, after dismissing the idea, she added cryptically, “Wouldn’t it be funny if you just found out, [‘Wolf Pack’] season two is just Buffy?” she joked. “It’s all a ruse.”
