Oh em gee, like, can you even believe it? Michelle Trachtenberg, the queen of 90s teen angst and low-key villainy, has kicked the bucket! Apparently, diabetes complications sent her to the big slumber party in the sky. The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner, those killjoys, confirmed it to *People* magazine (because who needs *actual* news sources, right?). So, on the morning of Feb. 26, little Miss Trachtenberg was found taking a *really* long nap in her Manhattan apartment. No foul play, they say. Just good old-fashioned dying. Guess Georgina Sparks finally met her match. 😈
Talk about going from “Harriet the Spy” to “Harriet the Expired.” This girl went from sneaking around in a trench coat and bucket hat to battling vampires (and occasionally her own bangs) on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Remember when she joined the show in Season 5 as Dawn Summers? Buffy’s little sister? Yeah, the one everyone *totally* wanted to write out of the script? Well, now she’s written out of life’s script. Tragic, right? 🤣
And let’s not forget her iconic role as Georgina Sparks on “Gossip Girl.” That girl was the human equivalent of a glitter bomb mixed with toxic waste. She stirred up more drama than a Real Housewives reunion. So, pour one out (or, like, a bottle) for the OG Queen of Upper East Side chaos. 👑🥂
Millennials, this one hits hard, huh? Your childhood icon, the face of so many after-school specials and questionable fashion choices, is gone. Variety’s chief correspondent (who probably still rocks a frosted tip) wrote a whole tribute, calling Trachtenberg a “signature young star.” Signature, like, her autograph on a detention slip? 💀 He went on and on about her “deadpan ballast” and “gleeful agent of chaos.” Sounds like someone’s got a crush. 🤭
So, farewell, Michelle. You were a true icon of awkward adolescence and deliciously evil scheming. May your afterlife be filled with endless reruns of “Pete & Pete” and a bottomless supply of sugar-free snacks (because, you know…diabetes). Rest in peace (or pieces, depending on how that vampire slaying went). 🙏😈
In other news, avocado toast prices are still outrageous, and someone just invented a selfie stick for cats. The end is nigh. 🤦♀️
