Julianne Moore and Colin Firth, stars of A Single Man, pose for the film’s director, fashion designer Tom Ford, in issue #63 of V Magazine, out January 12.

The film, a story of a professor who can’t make sense of life after his longtime love dies, also stars Matthew Goode and Nicholas Hoult.

Here’s what Tom had to share about the making of A Single Man:

On being nervous about his directorial debut: “I was very conscious of making it look like I knew exactly what the f— I was doing. But, sure, I didn't sleep the night before because I was terrified of having to say "Cut!" in front of a bunch of people.”

On opening up to audiences: “There is a lot of my own life in the film. People say that when you start to write something you should always write what you know, so I had to ask myself, I know what I am as a fashion designer, but what am I about as a filmmaker? What do I believe in? Why should anyone see a Tom Ford film?”

On having to read reviews: “When you put that much of yourself out there, of course you're terrified. Terrified! But I've never let potential terror or fear stop me. In my adult life I've understood that if I put an enormous amount of love and honesty into something, usually that shows in the end.”

A Single Man opens in limited release this Friday. For more from Tom Ford, check out V Magazine, on newsstands January 12 or on VMagazine.com.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and her daughter, Charlotte Prinze, arrive at a doctor’s office on Sunday (December 6) in Brentwood, Calif.

The 32-year-old blonde beauty kept Charlotte, 2 months, snuggled up tight in a pink blanket where she’d be covered from photographers. Charlotte is Sarah and hubby Freddie Prinze, Jr.’s first child.

With rumors swirling of a Buffy reboot as a movie franchise, Sarah’s co-star Alyson Hannigan said she wouldn’t consider joining in, even for a cameo, unless creator Joss Whedon was involved.

“Joss is the only reason that we would go back. I mean, it’s just ridiculous to think of that TV show without Joss. That’s just silly to me,” Alyson said. “And all the fans know that, too, so I don’t know what they’re thinking.”

Check out the latest outtakes of rising star Alex Pettyfer, who stars in the upcoming modern re-imagining of the classic Beauty and the Beast tale.

Playing the beast, the 19-year-old British actor had to go through through a couple of challenges physically. “I had to shave all of my goldilocks which was one of the hardest things for me mentally,” Alex told Hitfix. “And then physically I put on about 12 to 15 pounds [of muscle], because I’m actually quite a skinny guy.”

Beastly, which co-stars Vanessa Hudgens as the Beauty, opens everywhere on July 30, 2010.

The 35-year-old Spice Girl will debut new styles of her denim and eyewear collections TOMORROW (December 8) on Net-a-porter.com. Here’s what she shared with WWD:

On being a perfectionist: "It's about doing things gradually and building the brand in a strategic way. It's about finding the right time, the right team. With everything that I do, I will only do it after I've done all my homework. I really am a perfectionist, and I don't want to rush anything. It's not just about putting my name on a product and getting it out there. That's not what is important to me."

On what helped shape her into the businesswoman she is today: "I've always been driven. I was mentally and physically bullied when I was at school and that gave me a very thick skin…The only reason for me bringing that up is I have always been a fighter. I have always had to work very, very hard with everything I do. That is just my work ethic…That's my DNA."
