Buffy not being Britney

Sarah Michelle Gellar plays an out of control pop star in her upcoming flick The Air I Breathe, but she insists the character’s not based on Britney. “It wasn’t based on anybody in Hollywood, even if some things seem similar,” she told Parade magazine. “Honestly, without sounding corny, it gives you a sorrowful experience when you realize how lonely and how isolated these girls must be… At least that’s the insight that I got.” On the subject of Britney, Gellar seems sad. “It’s not something to joke about,” she said. “I’ve met Britney a few times and seen her perform. I think what has happened to her is heart wrenching. It’s really sad.”
