By Lizzie Smith

Proud mother: Sarah Michelle Gellar with four month old Charlotte Grace and a friend out for a stroll on the promenade in Santa Monica


Smiling and laughing, it seems motherhood agrees with Sarah Michelle Gellar.

The Buffy The Vampire star was spotted out and about with daughter Charlotte Grace yesterday, on the promenade in Santa Monica.

The star kept her daughter carefully bundled up in a pink blanket, carrying her close in a sling as they walked.


It was the first time the proud mother had been pictured with her daughter.

The little girl is the first child for Sarah and husband Freddie Prinze Jr, who met in 1997 while filming I Know What You Did Last Summer.

That same year they co-starred in a big screen version of the children's TV programme Scooby Doo.

The actress went on to change her last name from Gellar to Prinze in honour of the couple's fifth wedding anniversary.

Sarah’s most famous acting role remains her character Buffy Summers from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series and its spin-off Angel.

Although she gave up her role in 2003, there are rumours of a full-length film in the works.

Gellar will next be seen playing a suicidal woman in her mid-twenties in the film Veronika Decides To Die, which is set for release in the U.S. in November.

She is also due to star in The Wonderful Maladies, a TV series about an eccentric family.

Freddie Prinze Jr. will star on the upcoming season of 24.

Kings of Leon: No Collaboration With Leona Lewis

Kings of Leon has blasted the rumor suggesting that the band will collaborate with the "Bleeding Love" star, tweeting that they 'are not writing or recording with Leona Lewis.'

Chart-topping rockers Kings of Leon have dismissed reports they're lining up an odd collaboration with British pop star Leona Lewis. Recent British tabloid reports suggested the band had persuaded the Bleeding Love singer to join them in the studio - because they're "huge fans".

The story took off and became a big gossip item overnight, prompting Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill to log onto his Twitter.com to deny the claims. Followill, who is enjoying a break after a long tour with the band, writes, "Contrary to reports out there Kings Of Leon are not writing or recording with Leona Lewis. No offense to her."

Although Kings of Leon have denied the rumor, Robbie Williams who is also reported to collaborate with Leona Lewis hasn't given any conformation about the claim. A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "She loves Robbie and thinks he's a real laugh - and the love-in is mutual. They're just going to go in the studio and see what comes out."
