   TV wunderkind Joss Whedon, creator of " Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Dollhouse," is at Harvard tonight to receive the Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award in Cultural Humanism. (Not bad for someone who's 44.) Previous winners include author Salman Rushdie and Bad Religion singer Greg Graffin. "Joss's shows talk about how to live a deeply ethical, moral life without traditional religion," explained Greg Epstein, the humanist chaplain at Harvard. "The older crowd in our community has no idea who is, but to the younger crowd, he's one of the biggest heroes in their lives." In (sort of) related news: "Buffy " star Sarah Michelle Gellar is expecting her first baby with husband Freddie Prinze Jr. MARK SHANAHAN
