Sarah Michelle Gellar Wants to "Bring Back Everyone Who Has Died" in New BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER Revival — GeekTyrant
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair Italia, Sarah Michelle Gellar opened up about the upcoming Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival, and her character wish-list is ambitious as she wants to bring everyone back, including the ones who didn't survive the original run. Gellar said:
'It will be lighter than the last few seasons of the original. We will try to find a balance between new and old characters. My dream is to bring back everyone who has died, but space will have to be made for new stories as well.'
That's a tall order, considering how many fan-favorite characters met tragic ends in the original series. But if anyone can pull off a supernatural reunion, it's Buffy .
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew star Ryan Kiera Armstrong was officially announced as the new series lead. Gellar, who returns in a recurring role as Buffy, had nothing but praise for her young co-star, saying:
'From the moment I saw Ryan's audition, I knew there was only one girl that I wanted by my side. To have that kind of emotional intelligence, and talent, at such a young age is truly a gift. The bonus is that her smile lights up even the darkest room.'
The new series will be steered by showrunners Nora Zuckerman and Lila Zuckerman ( Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Poker Face ), with Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao ( Nomadland, Eternals ) directing the pilot and executive producing.
Gellar will also serve as executive producer, joined by original series vets Gail Berman, Fran and Kaz Kuzui, and Dolly Parton, whose Sandollar Productions was one of the original producers behind the iconic show.
With Buffy officially rising again, longtime fans are wondering what this new era of slaying will look like. Will we see Willow, Xander, or Spike again? Could Oz or Tara return? And how exactly would they bring back beloved characters who died years ago?
Gellar may not have those answers yet, but she's clearly hoping this new series can find that magic again and bring back whoever she possibly can.

Katy Perry Skipping Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sánchez's Wedding Has Nothing To Do With Orlando Bloom
This week, one of the biggest celebrity weddings will be taking place in Venice, Italy, when Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez say their 'I do's.' And while many celebs like Oprah Winfrey and Kim Kardashian will be in attendance, Katy Perry, who's a friend of Sánchez and even attended her Bachelorette Party in Paris in May, won't be making the trip. But if you're reading this thinking that her absence might have to do with Orlando Bloom, whom she reportedly broke up with after nine years together recently, think again. As it turns out, Perry can't make it because she's right in the middle of the Lifetimes Tour. More from SheKnows Katy Perry's Tearful Onstage Moment May Have Foreshadowed Trouble With Orlando Bloom On June 26, 27 and 29, the 'Teenage Dream' singer has concerts on the other side of the world in Adelaide, Australia. And, of course, given how far Adelaide is from Venice, it's not a trip she can go on quickly and come back. So, instead, Perry is making the best of her time 'down under.' On Instagram, she shared some highlights of her time there, including cute pics of her 4-year-old daughter with Bloom, Daisy Dove, and some selfies with a Quokka, a cute animal that only lives in Australia. 'mood: Quokka,' Perry wrote in the caption. In the comment section, Sánchez sent her friend some love. 'We miss you Katy ❤️,' she wrote. But while Perry will be miles away from Bezos and Sánchez's glamorous nuptials, Bloom will be in attendance. In fact, according to TMZ, he's seeing the opportunity to make 'his debut as a single man.' '[Bloom is] the life of the party and he's gonna hit the dance floor hard!' the source told TMZ of the actor's plans. '90% of the people at the wedding are kinda boring, but 10% are really fun, including Orlando, Leo and Jeff (Bezos),' the source revealed. 'It's gonna be a great party!' According to Daily Mail, Bloom's insistence on going, despite all the online gossip about their split, might be exactly to send Perry a message. 'He's insistent that he goes, which annoys her because he's not particularly close to either of them,' a source said. 'She feels like it's a 'f— you' to her from him.' 'Katy feels like they're really her friends more than his, and yet he's the one going to the wedding,' the source continued. At least she's still managing to have some fun in Australia, right?Best of SheKnows 60 Times Emma Stone's Timeless Red Carpet Fashion Looks Took Our Breath Away 39 Times Actresses Totally Transformed For a Role: See Side-by-Side Photos Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sánchez's Full Relationship Timeline

Lady Gaga & Elton John Worry Performing at Jeff Bezos' Wedding Will Impact Their Brands, Says ‘Source'
Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding preparations are reportedly in full swing. The couple is expected to get married this week in Italy amid high-profile guests. Sanchez and Bezos are reportedly welcoming more than 200 guests for the nuptials. To entertain the guests, the couple has requested Lady Gaga and Sir Elton John to perform at their wedding. However, as per the sources, the two musicians are having second thoughts about their performance. They think singing at the wedding might impact their brands. Moreover, they also fear being labeled as 'hypocrites' amid the backlash that the high-profile pair is facing from the locals. Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos are reportedly set to get married in Venice this week. The wedding will reportedly take place on the San Giorgio Maggiore island. The couple has even invited many A-listers to the lavish event. Their guest list includes Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio, Vittoria Ceretti, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Eva Longoria, and several others. To enthrall the guests, the couple has personally requested Sir Elton John and Lady Gaga to perform at their wedding. However, the pop icons have not yet agreed to the performance over fear of backlash. 'The Bezos wedding may be a giant payday, but it's hardly a great look for their 'do-gooder' reputations,' the source told RadarOnline. Both singers are reportedly worried about accepting the proposal over the local protests over the disruption of the city and the environmental impact due to the large gathering. Hence, 'Both Elton and Gaga have expressed worries about how performing at the ceremony may affect their respective brands.' The insider added, 'They fear being labeled hypocrites.' The singers are also in a dilemma as neither of them wants to get the tag of 'being in the pockets of billionaires' as this will do harm than good to their careers. Thus, so far, there is no official confirmation of Gaga's or John's performance at the wedding.
