Sarah Michelle Gellar - Comeback queen

We've all had a Gellar phase...
Sarah Michelle Gellar
I had trouble with the episode where Buffy had sex with Spike on the balcony while watching their friends. I really thought that was out of character.

Oh how we'd love to track down SMG's former agent and go "ner-ner-ner-ner-ner"; the chump told her she'd never make it after Sarah Michelle Gellar quit D-lost mediocrity in US soaps to try and hit the big time in Los Angeles. She then turned down everything that came her way for 18 months before saying yes to a certain "Buffy" character in some weird new gothic comedy/drama.

As decisions go, it was a humdinger. Seven series later and Sarah Michelle Gellar had made her mint, but she'd also had enough, and having scored some success with a brace of horror movies (The Grudge 1 and 2), she moved on. And, dare we, say, the sexy blonde former FHM cover star has yet to give us her very best...
