Court officials struggled to maintain secrecy about the grand jury’s activities, which are usually confidential, but several reporters and news crews arrived hours before prospective grand jurors. Gellar won’t appear in ’Angel’ finale RADNOR, Pa. — Sarah Michelle Gellar won’t appear in the series finale of "Angel," the spinoff of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" in which she played the title role. Joss Whedon, the show’s executive producer, told TV Guide for its online edition that he didn’t invite Gellar to appear in the final episode because he didn’t want it to "revolve around a guest star." "I want to end the show with the people who’ve been in the trenches together, the characters who have lived — and occasionally died — together, the regulars," Whedon said. He said he invited Gellar to appear in the second-to-last episode, but she wasn’t available because she was in Tokyo working on the horror film "The Grudge" when the show was being shot. Sales soar for book by Clarke NEW YORK — Sales keep soaring for "Against All Enemies," the book by former counterterrorism adviser Richard A. Clarke that claims the Bush administration did not do enough to protect the country from attacks. Just three days after publication, the book has gone into its fifth printing, with 500,000 copies in print, according to the Free Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. "Against All Enemies" ranked No. 1 on Amazon.com as of Thursday afternoon, and both superstores and independent retailers have reported nonstop demand. — Associated Press 10 Forum messages |
