For ''Scooby,'' Prinze and Gellar earned $2.25 million and $1.25 million with back-end deals, respectively. But business matters aside, there were fringe benefits during filming as well -- like the couple's elaborate barbecues, Nerf-gun fights, and even a birthday blowout for Gellar in Queensland's polar-themed entertainment complex FrozenWorld. ''We'd play games at each other's houses,'' adds Cardellini. ''We had barbecues.... Freddie's a good cook.''
Even at home in L.A., the Gen-Y Ozzie and Harriet like to leave the tabloid reports of table dancing and strippers to Britney and Justin. The pair, who have yet to set a wedding date, can spend a free day walking their dogs (Thor, a Maltese, and Tyson, an Akita), taking a morning Pilates class, and stopping by a favorite Ventura Boulevard sushi joint. ''They try to give us surprises,'' says dedicated foodie Prinze, who attended culinary school in Pasadena before dropping out when he snagged his first film gig in 1996's ''To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday.'' ''They make the best ankimo, which is a marinated monkfish liver.'' (Note to ''Fear Factor'' producers: We've found your next celebrity contestants.)
