The Princess Rap Battle series has been out there for awhile, but the ante has been raised with the latest one, featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar as Cinderella while series creator Whitney Avalon is Belle.

This week, as with previous years, The Price is Right had a little fun on April 1 for April Fool’s Day.

Whether she’s appearing on Craig Ferguson as one of his favorite guests, killing it in “Frozen,” bringing back Veronica Mars in movie form, or adding crazy value on Maya Rudolph’s backdoor pilot for a variety show, she’s been firing on all cylinders.
