Sarah Michelle Gellar is reportedly fuming after a teen magazine manipulated an image of her on its front cover.

Faced with no new Season Seven publicity shots of the star, Seventeen Magazine decided to enhance an old picture in Photoshop, with results that Sarah claims made her look extra-terrestrial.

"It looks like an alien foot attached [is] to her arm," said Sarah's attorney, Marty Singer.

Seventeen's attempt to apologise to Sarah upset the actress even more. They bought the animal-rights supporter a hugely expensive ostrich-skin Prada bag, which she sent right back.
