Sarah Michelle Gellar is the new face for Vaseline!

Vaseline.com has a guessing game for this “mystery celebrity” and describes SMG with the clues “She starred opposite an Angel” and “This celebrity lives a full life that puts her skin to the test. Her career began when she was just five years old and over the years she’s become a superstar of the small and big screen”.

Gellar, 30, hopes you too will “keep your skin amazing” while she promotes her new petroleum jelly gig.

Previous celebrity spokespersons for Vaseline include John Leguizamo, Amanda Bynes and Hilary Duff.

Sarah Michelle Gellar recently changed her last name to “Prinze” but she’s still “Gellar” professionally. Here are some snippets from her latest interview with Parade:.

On the confusion over her last name: “My friends know me as Prinze but I’ll answer to just about anything. Sometimes people mistake me for Sarah Jessica Parker, and I answer to that too.”

On her dream job: “To get back onstage. Broadway is truly my first wish.”

On if she considers herself high-maintenance or a diva: “Not at all. I’m a crew type.”

Gellar’s latest film The Air I Breathe opens in limited release next Friday, Jan. 25.

Sarah Michelle Gellar adds a splash of color to the red carpet in a blue Temperley London column dress with gold knit trim at the Los Angeles premiere of The Air I Breathe held at Hollywood’s ArcLight Theatre on Tuseday.

The 30-year-old actress costars in the film with Forest Whitaker, Brendan Fraser, Kevin Bacon, Emile Hirsch, Kelly Hu, John Cho and Andy Garcia.

The concept of the film is based on an ancient Chinese proverb that breaks life down into four emotional cornerstones - Happiness (Whitaker), Pleasure (Fraser), Sorrow (Gellar) and Love (Bacon). The proverb speaks of these emotions, not as isolated fragments of feelings, but as elements that make up the whole of the human existence. Each of the four main protagonists is based on one of the four emotions; and like the proverb their paths are inextricably linked to each other.

With Sarah Michelle Gellar, what you see is what you get pretty much.

The 30-year-old actress is featured in January’s ensemble indie The Air I Breathe, the second of three Gellar films coming out in quick succession (last year’s Southland Tales and this month’s Possession are the others). The February 2008 issue of Radar has a great interview with her, so here are some of the highlights:

On her BFF Manolo Blahnik: “One day, a couple friends and I went into Bergdorf just to get out of the rain. A man who works there, who I know, he said, “Mr. Blahnik is here signing autographs and doing sketches.You have to come meet him. And there was this big line of women, and I thought, This is going to be so embarrassing, he’s going to have absolutely no idea who I am! So I’m waiting for this blank look from him, and he’s like [imitating his Spanish accent], “It’s Sarah Michelle! I love the Buffy !” He was so lovely. He sketched a shoe and signed it, and it actually hangs in my closet.”

On being a child star: “As a kid, performing was my passion, but it wasn’t at the forefront of my life. I wasn’t a child star, I was a working child actor. So I got more from seeing other actors who had missed their childhoods.”

On portraying a porn star: “With Southland Tales, playing a porn star, being in an ensemble cast, all those things were experiences, obviously, that I’d never had. Coming out in the wardrobe alone some days was enough of a challenge—just getting out of my trailer.”

On her superficial dreams: “My dreams are just so on the surface that, literally, there’s nothing to actually read into.”

FYI: You’ll never hear SMG talk about her political views (she says she’s worried about influencing her fans) or her religious ones (“I don’t talk about religion”).

SMG appears on the cover of Maxim’s December 2007 issue.

Sarah Michelle Gellar strikes a sexy pose in a lace bra, high-waisted pants, red suspenders and fingerless gloves on the December issue of Maxim.

The 30-year-old actress tells Maxim that girls are no holds barred when it comes to fighting: “Chicks are dirty — hair pulling, scratching. Guys have guy codes. They don’t sucker-punch. They don’t punch in certain areas. Anything goes in chick fights. But if anything ever goes down, I think I’ll be OK. I’m pretty scrappy.”

Our readers have been asking us to get you on the cover for years. Why now? Lots of things. I’m 30, and I’m promoting a bunch of different kinds of movies. I like to shake things up every once in a while. It’s good to leave people wanting more, but I don’t want to leave them waiting too long or they’ll lose interest. Besides, how could I not do a Maxim shoot when I have a movie coming out in which I play a porn star?

Exactly. In Southland Tales, you’re a porn star who is trying to get her own reality show. It’s quite a departure from Buffy. I ran the gamut in the films I made this year. When you think about who should play a porn star, don’t I just pop into your mind? The character I play is sort of Arianna Huffington meets Jenna Jameson.
