At first, when I heard Lottery, I thought of that short story you had to read while in High School about the town whose lottery winners had to die. Did you read that? UGH - scared the you know what out of me. I looked up Patricia Wood’s novel by the same name and it’s an entirely different scenario. Lucky for all of us, Sarah Michelle Gellar found interest in it and has optioned its movie rights. Could this be her next project?

Here is a break down according to Amazon:

Perry Crandall has an IQ of 76, but is not retarded, as he’ll have you know: his IQ would need to be less than 75 for that, and he knows the difference even if others may not. Perry, the 32-year-old narrator of Wood’s warm-fuzzy debut, has worked at the same marine supply store for half his life and lives with his wisecracking grandmother Gram, whose gems of folk wisdom help him along. But when Gram dies, Perry’s selfish, money-grubbing family members swoop in and swindle him out of the proceeds from the sale of her house—and then come a-knocking again when Perry wins $12 million in the Washington State Lottery. Suddenly everyone is paying attention to Perry, but who can he trust? Even his friends from the marine supply store behave differently, and on top of everything else, Perry finds himself falling for convenience store clerk Cherry, who has problems of her own. Despite his family’s shenanigans and sinister maneuverings, Perry holds his own and discovers abilities he didn’t know he had. The wisdoms here run more cute than deep, but Wood’s light humor and likable narrator should have mass appeal. (Aug.)

Any big fans of the show out there?  Yesterday the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer got back together for a little reunion.  Check out all the ladies’ red carpet style.  Sarah Michelle Gellar looks adorable!  You can see Michelle Trachtenberg, Charisma Carpenter and more in the thumbnails.

After working for so long on the same show with the same people, I imagine everyone would get really close.  It must have been fun for them to all get back together!

Holy eye makeup!

Sarah Michelle Gellar was at the Vaseline “Skin Is Amazing” exhibit in NYC and she wore a beautiful low cut caramel colored dress and bronze pumps. Normally I adore the things that Sarah wears, but I have to say while the dress is amazing I think a little double sided tape was needed. I am sure the men will disagree.

Here’s the truly lovely Sarah Michelle Gellar on her way into “The Late Show With David Letterman“. You know, there are times when I wish I was a celebrity, or at least had money like one. Because her coat is so gorgeous. I would sleep in that thing if I owned it. It really is quite sensational isn’t it ?!

Here is a video of her visit with Dave:

I am SO excited to see this movie. Even more so now that Sarah Michelle Gellar has solidified her stake as Alice. The movie is an adaptation from the original Alice in Wonderland, but it is when Alice gets older and not as care free as she was when she was a child.

Years after her first experience in Wonderland, Alice (Sarah Michelle Gellar), now a disturbed young woman mourning the death of her parents, returns to the land of talking animals and the wicked Queen of Hearts.

Despite set issues and the writer strike, the show will go on.

“It’s a passion project of mine. It’s a story that I’d love to see. I’m fearful at this rate that I’m going to be the Queen of Hearts because I’m going to be too old to be Alice. It’s something I’d really like to see done. And unfortunately, it was the victim of regime change in the studio. (But) contrary to what you may have read, it’s still my project. So to all those Alice fans, I’m not giving up. Because I believe there is such a beautiful, crazy, cool, twisted story to be told there, and if I have to get down and write it myself one of these days, I may have to…!”

Sarah Michelle Gellar looked radiant at the red carpet arrivals for ‘The Air I Breathe‘ premiere held at the Arc Light Theater. I don’t know if I like this dress so much because I am seriously in love with SMG or if the outfit just works. Even the messy-chic hair is doing it for me. In this movie, Sarah Michelle plays a pop star who falls prey to a crime boss played by Andy Garcia. And the two other leads are Kevin Bacon and Brendan Fraser. Yummy!!

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.
