Sarah Michelle Gellar breaks her silence on the “Buffy” reboot cancellation, blaming it on one executive who’s “not a fan of the original.”
"No one saw this coming, including the head of Searchlight. I got the call as we were stepping onto stage for the premiere of their own movie. And it’s also the weekend of Chloé [Zhao] going to the Oscars as a best director nominee for Hamnet. For them to call us on the Friday of what should have been Chloé’s victory lap for an incredible film, and my world premiere of something that I worked very hard for is… That says something."
"We had an executive on our show who was not only not a fan of the original, but was proud to constantly remind us that he had never seen the entirety of the series and how it wasn’t for him,” she said. “That’s very hard when you’re taking a property that is as beloved as Buffy, not just to the world, but to me and Chloé. So that tells you the uphill battle that we had been fighting since day one, when your executive is literally proud to tell you that he didn’t watch it."

It's hard to believe Arclight Hollywood has been abandoned for 6 years. 14 screen multiplex on Sunset Blvd just sitting empty frozen in March 2020... It was the highest grossing theater in USA. So strange. @ArcLightCinemas
“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was Dickens and Dostoevsky who taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people ... who had ever been alive.” James Baldwin, LIFE Magazine, 1963
Amy Adams says she saved a stabbing victim’s life using skills she learned from the short-lived CBS medical drama “Dr. Vegas.”
Adams said she and her family were the “first people on the scene” after leaving their “favorite” Santa Monica restaurant. “These people were screaming and a guy was walking and they were yelling, ‘He’s dying!’ And my husband’s like, ‘That’s blood!’” Adams recalled. “He was bleeding and his friends were freaking out."
Adams said she stayed “focused” in the moment, using beach towels to apply pressure and stop the bleeding. She also told the victim, “The more you struggle, the faster you’re going to bleed. Just lay down" — advice she learned from “Dr. Vegas.”
