Sarah Michelle Gellar: Motherhood Was Worth the Wait

Originally posted 11/06/2009 03:15PM

Sarah Michelle Gellar, adored as the star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., know what everyone has been thinking: What took so long?

"I always say, the minute you start dating someone, people ask, 'When are you getting engaged?' And the minute you get engaged, they ask, 'When are you getting married?' " a bemused Gellar tells PEOPLE. "And then the minute you get married, they ask, 'When are you having a baby?' "


Gellar, 32, and Prinze Jr., 33, – who stars in the upcoming season of 24 – took seven years before answering that last question, as evidenced by the Sept. 19 arrival of daughter Charlotte Grace.

Slumdog Kids' Truancy Puts Funds at Risk

Originally posted 11/06/2009 01:45PM

Following recent reports that the Jai Ho Trust – established by Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle for two of the movie's child actors, Azharuddin Ismail and Rubina Ali – was the subject of controversy when the kids' families reportedly wanted more money, Boyle tells PEOPLE that the real issue centers on the young stars spending more time in school.

"We were in Mumbai last week and we were very clear that the attendance of the kids at school was not good enough," the Oscar-winning director said at the BAFTA/LA Brittania Awards, where he received John Schlesinger Britannia Award for Artistic Excellence in Directing. "They've had a lot of distractions."

During his visit Boyle says he insisted that "unless school attendance improves, then everything else is jeopardized, because that was the whole starting point of the way the film could benefit the kids."

Boyle said the whole point of the child stars' trust is to "set them up so that they wouldn't feel like prisoners within their economic cycle which wasn't very helpful to them, that they would have a bit of an ability to step out and make some decisions about their own life and to back it with a bit of cash and a nice education and a place to live, things like that."

Lindsay Lohan's Dad Says God Is Punishing Her

Lindsay Lohan's Dad Says God Is Punishing Her

Originally posted 11/06/2009 11:25AM

The ugly war of words between Michael and Lindsay Lohan shows no signs of cooling off. Michael has released another audio tape, accusing his daughter of lying – and wasting her God-given talent.

On Thursday, Lindsay claimed on her Twitter page that Michael used to threaten to kill his then-wife Dina, Lindsay's mother, if she left him. Michael responded with a denial in an interview with New York Post Friday.

"That's a lie," he says. "I guess Lindsay is on more drugs than I thought to say something like that … No wonder why God is taking her entire career away from her. Because she's forsaken everything He's given her and she's done nothing but misuse all the gifts she's given."
