Gellar Smooched In Scooby

Sarah Michelle Gellar, who plays the ever fashionable damsel-in-distress Daphne Blake in the upcoming live-action Scooby-Doo film, told SCI FI Wire that the rumored kiss between her character and Linda Cardellini's Velma was indeed filmed. "We did kiss. It got cut," she said in an interview while promoting the film. "Hopefully they'll add it into the DVD."

Unlike Gellar's famous same-sex buss with co-star Selma Blair in Cruel Intentions, Gellar insisted that the Scooby kiss was not gratuitous. "It wasn't just, like, for fun," she said. The scene in question involves the four human members of the Scooby gang supernaturally switching bodies. "Initially in the soul-swapping scene Velma and Daphne couldn't seem to get their souls back together in the woods," Gellar said. "And so the way they found was to kiss and the souls went back into proper alignment."

Cardellini isn't the only co-star that Gellar kissed during the course of the film. She also shares an on-screen embrace with off-screen fianc�e Freddie Prinze Jr., who plays Fred. So was the kiss with her real-life love interest anticlimactic after the controversial same-sex smooch? Gellar joked, "After kissing Linda? Well, you know, Linda is quite a kisser." Scooby-Doo opens June 14.
