Sarah Michelle Gellar Returning to TV

Sarah Michelle Gellar Returning to TV

It's been almost eight years since Sarah Michelle Gellar kicked bloodsucker butt on the WB's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and she's primed for a return to regular series TV with the CBS thriller Ringer, EW.com reports.

Gellar is set to star as a troubled young woman who, when she ends up with a bounty on her head, assumes the identity of her wealthy -- and conveniently missing -- twin sister... only to discover that there's a hit out on her sibling as well. Twist!

Here's the best news: According to EW.com, Gellar will be playing not one but two roles in the series. That's right, she'll be playing twins, though -- as series producer Peter Traugott tells the website (spoiler alert!) -- one of them dies early on and will be seen primarily in flashbacks.

So far, CBS has only ordered a pilot for the series, but buzz is good, increasing the chances that the network will pick it up to air during the 2011-12 TV season.

If it feels like Gellar's TV comeback is long overdue, there's a good reason: In 2008, her HBO pilot The Wonderful Maladys failed to earn a series order. And in September 2009, Gellar got a bit sidetracked when she and hubby Freddie Prinze Jr. welcomed their first child, daughter Charlotte Grace Prinze.

Gellar took a break from acting to bond with her baby -- but now that Charlotte is 16 months old, Mommy seems ready to get back to work kicking bad-guy butt. That's what's called being a positive female role model.

Are you excited for Sarah Michelle Gellar to return to the small screen? Chime in below!

Justin Bieber may have declined the chance to join Justin Timberlake's label, but according to a songwriter in the know, the former 'NSYNC crooner is the inspiration for the teen sensation's upcoming album.

Songwriter Sean "The Pen "Garrett, who has been working with Bieber on the follow-up to the chart-ruling My World 2.0., spoke with Billboard about the direction for the teen superstar's forthcoming album, saying the project will feature more grown-up fare.

"What we're trying to do with Justin is to segue him into young adulthood," Garrett said of the project, which is also slated to feature production from hitmaker Christopher "Tricky" Stewart. "The one great thing about Justin Bieber is the fact that his fans are going to grow with him. So we want all the fans that started out with him to still be intrigued and excited about him, but we want to also stretch out a little bit and make the fans that are 22-23 years old love Justin as well. When Justin Timberlake went from the last album of *N Sync to his first solo album -- I want to say [we're aiming for] that level. That's the bar for the type of song, that level of 'Cry Me a River,' big records."

Garrett, who has crafted records for stars like Chris Brown and Bieber's mentor Usher, also said he's hard at work on Beyoncé's next project. However, the songwriter didn't divulge too much information, only revealing that he's "been working with her extremely hard ... she's my favorite."

While Garrett said the plan for his next outing is to angle Bieber toward a swiftly maturing audience, Bieber himself has refused to categorize his music, insisting to MTV News in December that he's just focused on creating quality records.

"Whatever comes out of my mouth is just what you guys are going to hear," Bieber explained of his hits. "I don't know, it's not a specific type of music. Whatever music I write, I wouldn't say I'm pop or R&B or country or anything: I would just say it's just good music,"

When Justin Bieber flirted with superstar vixen Kim Kardashian last summer, his fans lobbed tons of e-hate her way. But luckily for Christina Milian, she got off easy when she tweeted a picture of her smooching the teen superstar on the cheek.

MTV News recently caught up with the singer/actress, and she dished about meeting the "Baby" crooner — and giving the Biebs some sugar — while both were shooting separate episodes of the crime drama "CSI."

"When I walked in the trailer, I didn't know Justin was gonna be there. And I was like, 'Oh my gosh, you're here!' I guess he was waiting in the trailer, in the makeup trailer — not mine, but the makeup trailer — and I got to meet him for a second. I was like, 'Hey, do you mind after I get my makeup and hair done, let's take a picture after we're done shooting?' He was like, 'Of course,' " she said. The "Dip It Low" songstress said she was upfront with Bieber about sharing her affection. "So I hunted him down after lunch because I was done working for the day, and I was like, 'I was thinking of planting a kiss on you. Do you mind?' I went with the cheek."

Milian quickly laughed off any idea that the two are canoodling full-time.

"I did it for fun, anyway, and the whole hype and everybody always talking about this whole thing that happened at New Year's with Justin," Milian said of the major attention the teen star got when he was spotted vacationing with Selena Gomez. "So I was like, 'How fun would it be if I actually just kissed him on the cheek?' I had a little humor to go with it and tweeted it, like, immediately, and I got a billion responses."

However, unlike Kardashian, Bieber's legions of fans didn't rip the starlet apart.

"So far, no death threats. Everybody was really nice. I made sure to say, 'Hey, ladies, don't be mad. Guys, don't hate,' " she said. "But I think everybody knows I'm a lightweight. I like to have fun. It's not serious; I'm not trying to take your man. And he's, hello, 16 or something? So let's keep it really real. But he is a cutie pie. But yeah, all the girls handled it pretty well. They were like, 'Oh my gosh, how cute! You're so lucky!' And I was like, 'Well, maybe it'll be you too,' and I even wrote back to a couple of them. They were really nice."
