• Check out the transcript of James Marsters' AOL/TV Guide chat from November 14th at JamesMarsters.com.

• DVD update: As most of you probably already know, the North American release of the Season 1 DVDs have indeed been delayed indefinitely. They will eventually be released, reportedly toward the end of next year, but there is no firm release date available. Therefore, Amazon.com has stopped taking pre-orders and has canceled any orders previously placed. Again, this is due to the legal technicalities of syndication/distribution rights. We have no further information at this time. (Note: The Slayer Chronicles Triple Pack is still scheduled for VHS release on January 9th, 2001; pre-orders are being taken now.)

• Read a short interview with Clare Kramer (Glory) at EW.com here.

• The December 1st issue of Entertainment Weekly (with Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson on the cover) features an interview with Anthony Stewart Head and James Marsters.

• The formerly rumored plans for Britney Spears to guest star in an episode of BtVS have now reportedly been canceled, due to lack of time on the part of Ms. Spears.

• James Marsters is scheduled to chat tonight at AOL/TV Guide. Go to AOL Keyword: Live at 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time. (You must have AOL in order to participate.)

• Sarah Michelle Gellar is on the cover of this month's Cosmo Girl! magazine (December/January), on newsstands now.

• Check out a transcript of Charisma Carpenter's October 24th AOL chat here.

• Well, we should have known it was too good to be true. Word has it that the Region 1 (North American) DVDs are being delayed until late next year due to conflicts with syndication rights. At this time, Amazon is still taking pre-orders, but for some reason they're now listing the release date as January 1, 2010. Fear not - that's surely a mistake. Nonetheless, the DVD status is currently in limbo. We'll keep our eyes and ears out for news.

(Just a note: the Region 2 DVDs are still scheduled for a November 27th release. These can be pre-ordered from Amazon.co.uk or Sendit.com. These DVDs will only play in Region 2 DVD players, i.e. those in Europe, the Middle East, and Japan.)

• Alyson Hannigan appeared on Merrick and Rosso, a national radio program in Australia on Triple J. Listen to her in streaming audio with Real Player here. (Thanks to Lachlan for the tip.)

• Buffy DVDs are finally confirmed for the U.S.! Season One is scheduled for release in its entirety on January 9th, 2001. Though little information is available at this time, you can already pre-order at Amazon.com. (This refers to Region 1 encoded DVDs for the US and Canada.) To see what's included on the UK-released set, which one can only assume will be included on the North American version, click here. (If you're in an area such as the UK which uses Region 2 DVDs, you can also pre-order from that link.)

• Also scheduled for U.S. release on January 9th, 2001 are more episodes on VHS. The Slayer Chronicles Triple Pack will include "Bad Girls" & "Consequences," "Enemies" & "Earshot," and "Graduation Day Part One," & "Part Two." Pre-order the set now (or order individual videos) at Amazon.com.

• Check out an interview with Sarah Michelle Gellar at IMDb.

• Heat (a British magazine) printed a quote from Sarah Michelle Gellar saying, "I love my job, but I only have a year to go with Buffy. I think it's time to move on to more adult stuff." However, please take this with a grain of salt — the magazine doesn't mention where or when they got this so-called quote (it's not part of an interview), and it just does not sound like something Sarah would say (even if it were true). She's too business-savvy for that. And please don't email us about it; we don't know anything else.

• The 52nd Annual Emmy Award nominations were announced today, and once again, Buffy and company were ignored in all the most notable categories. Nonetheless, Joss Whedon did get a much deserved nom for "Hush" in the Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series category. (He's got a tough category - he's up against two episodes each of Emmy favorites The Sopranos and The West Wing, which each have 18 total nominations.) Two other nominations were received: Outstanding Hairstyling for a Series (episode: "Beer Bad") and Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series (episode: "Hush"). Angel also got a nomination for Outstanding Makeup for a Series (episode: "The Ring"). You can find all the other nominees at the official site.
