20th Century Fox's attorneys have put the kibosh on the "Buffy" Musical, a series of theatrical screenings of the acclaimed "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" episode "Once More, with Feeling," in which fans dress up like their fave characters and sing along with the show.

Looks like Michelle Rodriguez won't be having a very merry Christmas. The former "Lost" star has been ordered to report to county jail on Christmas Eve to begin serving a six-month sentence for failing to complete community service and alcohol monitoring as part of her probation in a drunken-driving case. Rodriguez "admitted violation of her probation by failing to provide proof of community service and by consuming alcohol three times while wearing an alcohol-monitoring device," a spokesman for the City Attorney's office said.

Sheridan has denied his claims.

"It just struck me as such a rough situation, just because cops in general get kind of a bad rap lately, and people forget it is the scariest job out there."
