Sarah Michelle Gellar Is Breathing Easy
Sarah Michelle Gellar Is Breathing Easy
Taking a break from scaring the crap out of audiences in the Grudge franchise, Sarah Michelle Gellar attended the premiere of her new flick The Air I Breathe last night.
The Scooby Doo actress was most definitely the belle of the ball, dressed in an atypical light blue sleeveless dress with gold accents and a prom-style updo.
And it sounds like Gellar has surrounded herself with a who’s who of costars in her new movie. Everyone from Forest Whitaker to Brendan Fraser to the iconic Kevin Bacon make up the ensemble cast of The Air I Breathe.
The Internet Movie Database describes the film as, “A drama based on an ancient Chinese proverb that breaks life down into four emotional cornerstones: happiness, pleasure, sorrow and love. A businessman (Whitaker) bets his life on a horse race; a gangster (Fraser) sees the future; a pop star (Gellar) falls prey to a crime boss (Garcia); a doctor (Bacon) must save the love of his life.”
The Air I Breathe opens in limited release on January 25th.

Natalie Portman Loves New York
Natalie Portman Loves New York
She’s on top of the world with a hit film, “The Other Boleyn Girl” in theaters now. But Natalie Portman isn’t about to slow down.
Continuously honing her craft, the “Garden State” actress has been fastidiously working on a new anthology film called “New York, I Love You.”
It’s a conglomeration of several love stories set in the Big Apple, and her “Boleyn” pal Scarlett Johansson is also involved, directing the segment starring Kevin Bacon.
In “New York, I Love You” Portman plays a Jewish bride. She was spotted by paparazzi in character with her Hasidic Jewish co-star filming a scene at the Brooklyn Bridge yesterday. She looks pretty convincing, eh?
