Here are today’s top entertainment headlines:

• Fans of the TV show Buffy The Vampire Slayer will have to dress up and sing somewhere else, as Twentieth Century Fox Television has issued a cease and desist order to planned sing-along events. Organizers have been running Buffy sing-along events in several cities across the country where fans come dressed as their favorite characters and act out parts of the show ala Rocky Horror Picture Show. In the letter, Fox lawyers stated that fans of the show will “have to creep out normal people and wear their virginity on the outside some other way… or pay us a billion dollars because we are greedy shit heads.”

• Deborah Harry has given the OK for Kirsten Dunst to star as the former Blondie front woman in an upcoming bio-flick. The film, while still in the planning stages, is set to be directed by Michel Gondry and will follow the life and times of the singer.  When asked about her feelings regarding playing Harry, Dunst replied “Harry?  No, I like to keep it nice and tidy down there.”

• Family members of Charles M. Schulz are upset with the author of a new biography of the man behind the Peanuts gang. The book, Schulz and Peanuts by author David Michaelis, claims Schulz used the characters he wrote and drew as an outlet for his different personalities, both good and bad. Michaelis claims everything in the book is 100% true, “especially the part where he made his wife dress up like Snoopy while he dressed as Woodstock.”

• Mock-pundit Stephen Colbert has announced that he will be running for the office of President of the United States. Making the announcement on his show, The Colbert Report, Colbert said he will run as both a Democrat and a Republican. The only current Presidential candidate to comment so far on Colbert’s announcement is Mitt Romney, who said, “At least (Colbert) isn’t black or a woman.”

• With his work winding down on the upcoming Indiana Jones movie, George Lucas is turning his attention back to Star Wars. Lucas is planning a live action TV show and an animated cartoon based on the popular franchise. Fans are hoping that at least one of the series will focus on Jar Jar, as “that character just wasn’t given enough screen time in the prequels.”

• The upcoming Spice Girls “best of” CD will be available at Victoria’s Secret months before it’s available at record stores. The new album will be a collection of the group’s biggest hits, as well as two new songs. Industry insiders have commented on the Victoria’s Secret deal, noting that only one of the members can wear anything produced by the company as most of the members “have let themselves go a little.”
