"Clueless" Stars: How They Look 30 Years Later
Brace yourselves — Clueless, which is arguably the best teen movie of all time, turns 30 this month. Yes, 30. The big 3-0. It is THIRTY YEARS OLD. Now that we all feel like our bones are crumbling to dust, let's check in with the cast and where they're at now... Alicia Silverstone as Cher: Clueless was one of Alicia's first film roles, and she went on to star in other '90s icons like Excess Baggage, Batman and Robin, and Blast From the Past. She's continued acting steadily over the years, recently in Netflix's The Baby-Sitters Club series. She's also a passionate animal rights activist and vegan. Paul Rudd as Josh: Although he had appeared in some TV series before Clueless, Josh was actually Paul's first big screen role. Since then, he's had a prolific and varied career, with roles in Romeo + Juliet, Friends, Parks and Recreation, Anchorman, The 40-Year Old Virgin, and, of course, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and a whole bunch more). Most recently, he starred in Death of a Unicorn with Jenna Ortega. Stacey Dash as Dionne: Stacey had steady roles both before and after Clueless, although none that reached quite the same level of icon status. She was one of the film's few cast members to reprise their role in the Clueless spin-off TV series, which lasted three seasons. These days, she's perhaps more associated with her outspoken, conservative political views. Brittany Murphy as Tai: Before Clueless, Brittany had a fair amount of experience in TV roles, and went on to a successful big screen career, with notable roles in movies like Drop Dead Gorgeous, Girl Interrupted, Riding in Cars with Boys, 8 Mile, Just Married, and Uptown Girls. She also voiced Luanne in King of the Hill. Sadly, she died in December 2009 from pneumonia. She's pictured above right in 2009, just weeks before her death. Elisa Donovan as Amber: Elisa had some small parts in the lead up to Clueless, but her role as Cher's frenemy Amber became what she's most known for — especially since she also reprised the role in the TV spin-off. She also had a notable role in the later seasons of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, and continued acting over the years, with her most recent onscreen role in 2017's MDMA. Donald Faison as Murray: Clueless was Donald's first major role, and he went on to star in the Clueless TV series as well as movies like Can't Hardly Wait and Remember the Titans. He's now most known for his leading role as Turk alongside Zach Braff in the TV show Scrubs. Breckin Meyer as Travis: Breckin was a child actor prior to Clueless, and afterwards he starred in movies like The Craft, Can't Hardly Wait, Josie and the Pussycats, and Garfield. He also did voice work for King of the Hill alongside fellow Clueless alumni Brittany Murphy, and performed in, wrote, and produced Robot Chicken, which Donald Faison also did voice work for. Jeremy Sisto as Elton: Jeremy had a few roles before Clueless, and has continued acting since, most notably in TV series like Six Feet Under, Law & Order, Suburgatory, The Returned, and most recently, FBI: International. Dan Hedaya as Mel: As one of the "adult" cast, Dan Hedaya had acted extensively before his role as Cher's father, Mel, in Clueless, including in movies like The Hunger, Joe Versus the Volcano, and The Addams Family, and TV shows like Cheers, The Tortellis, and Family Ties. He continued acting until recently — his last onscreen role was in 2021's The God Committee. Wallace Shawn as Mr. Hall: Wallace Shawn was perhaps the most well-known cast member prior to Clueless, having starred in one of the greatest movies of all time, The Princess Bride, as well as co-written and starred in the classic My Dinner with Andre, amongst many other roles. In the same year as Clueless, he also voiced Rex in Toy Story and Principal Mazur in A Goofy Movie. He continues to act and do voice work. In recent years, he's perhaps best known for his roles in Young Sheldon and Gossip Girl. In addition to acting and screenwriting, he's also a playwright and has published multiple books of essays. Twink Caplan as Ms. Geist: Twink Caplan (pictured above right in 2013) was known for her role in Look Who's Talking before Clueless. In the years since, she's worked as a producer and actor, most recently with small parts in the TV shows All That and Royalties. Justin Walker as Christian: Clueless was Justin's very first role, and while he did take on a few roles afterwards, he seemingly left the entertainment industry by 2005, when he had his last onscreen role in the movie Takeout. He now appears to be extremely private.

Review – Batman and Robin #22: Sympathy for the Demon
Batman and Robin #22 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: The mystery of Memento has been lurking around the fringes of this title since the first issue of this run, but we might finally know the identity of the killer – Atticus Blye, the elderly mentor of Bruce and Detective Lautrec back in France. He was accused of the killings back then and died in prison – so how is he still standing in front of Damian Wayne, dead-eyed as he keeps the boy locked up? It's been clear since the start that the villain was not a natural serial killer, but this issue reveals fully that he is in fact a supernatural being. Batman and Lautrec investigate the killer's history – and discover that there were other killers carried out by completely different people, each claiming that a supernatural force made them do it and targeted those they love until they cooperated. And when dealing with the supernatural, Batman is forced to bring in an unlikely ally – Jason Blood. Dead and buried. Via DC Comics. It's always fun when Batman is forced to deal with magic, because he's perpetually annoyed by it. But there's something deeper going on here – a threat that Batman truly doesn't understand, with his son's life at stake. Etrigan, summoned through Jason Blood, lets us in on a truly eerie tale of occultist brothers well over a century ago who tapped into something they shouldn't have and may have unleashed an ancient evil. But this issue also introduces some other interesting elements – including the return of the Gotham City Irregulars, a band of young delinquents who were cut a break by Batman years ago and help him out on occasion now. Their investigation takes them into the strangest parts of Gotham left behind by No Man's Land, right into a deadly encounter. This series has a great central mystery, and a lot of intriguing subplots that are likely leading to a powerful conclusion only months from now.

"I don't want to see my parents fighting": Fox News struggles to cope with Trump-Musk explosion
The cracks in the MAGA alliance are beginning to show, and Fox News isn't quite sure how to patch them. The conservative outlet appeared to be in damage control on Thursday as the rift between Donald Trump and Elon Musk continued to deepen. Many of the network's prominent commentators tried to cope with the situation, downplaying the public clash, describing it as a predictable outcome of a relationship between two powerful individuals and urging the two men to reconcile. 'Sometimes, guys fight,' said Jesse Watters. 'Guys sometimes will punch you in the face, and the next night you're having a beer. Sleep with your girlfriend, and you patch things up.' 'These guys are like roommates,' he added. "They're just blowing off steam.' Greg Gutfeld also reached for metaphors when he urged the two billionaires to 'knock it off.' 'It's like, I don't want to see my parents fighting," Gutfeld said. 'I like Batman and Robin. I don't like Spy vs. Spy.' He also praised Trump and Musk for airing out their grievances transparently for everyone to see. Sean Hannity sought to strike a similarly conciliatory tone, saying that just last week the two men were 'best friends,' and that the dispute ultimately came down to a disagreement over a piece of legislation. 'You have the president of the Free World; the richest guy on earth, one of the strongest guys on earth,' Hannity added. 'Conflicts? They're kind of predictable ... they disagree on policy.' Hannity predicted that Musk and Trump would work it outOther Fox figures didn't shy away from the implications of the very public breakdown. 'This is not a story that anyone was looking for,' Will Cain said. 'Hard to see a path forward for these two to repair their relationship." He called the feud 'a big, ugly battle,' and lamented the consequences for the country. Laura Ingraham, typically a Trump defender, urged the former president to pull back. 'Musk is his own person,' she said. 'Threatening to pull [his] government contracts—that's not wise, when five minutes ago you were of course hailing Musk's work in helping rescue the stranded Americans in space.'

Is 'Playoff Jimmy' Butler past his prime?
Is 'Playoff Jimmy' Butler past his prime? | The Kevin O'Connor Show Yahoo Sports senior NBA analyst Kevin O'Connor and contributing writer Tom Haberstroh discuss the Warriors forward's impact on Golden State in the playoffs and if he can be counted on to deliver for the team long-term. Hear the full conversation on 'The Kevin O'Connor Show' and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript Jimmy Butler can't be trusted. Advertisement 17 points, 4 of 11 in an elimination game. His last 11 elimination games, he's averaging 21 points on only 16.5 field goals per game. His teams are only 3 and 8 in those 11 elimination games, too passive, scoring too efficient inefficiently, over these games. It's been over 2 years since Butler had that 42 point. banger of a closeout game against the Bucks, the game after he had 56 against Milwaukee, and that was amazing. Those are the moments that earned him that playoff Jimmy nickname is a guy who elevates his play and big moments, but the truth is, is that Butler, Has underwhelmed in these big moments more than he's dominated in them. Advertisement And ever since he's been named a starter, over a decade ago when he was with the Bulls, he's played only 77% of possible games. He's missed nearly a quarter of each season, averages 64 games a season, trending down to 60 games per season ever since he turned 30. He's Always hurt, always disgruntled, and you're telling me they're gonna bet on that guy to maximize the finals odds for Steph Curry and Draymond Green. I think it's foolish. This was the first sign for Stephen Curry, for Draymond Green and the Warriors that playoff Jamie is nothing more than a myth, nothing more than a myth. Well, Kev, I, I, I think you lean on their record with a big three together, right? Advertisement And clearly, Jimmy Butler as the #1 is not capable of having that responsibility anymore. In the last 2 games in this series with the series, the season on the line. He had a 16% usage rate in game 4 and a 16% usage rate in game five. That's a role player. Like, get out of here with that. That's not why the Warriors acquired him, right? I think he's a much better, as we talked about a lot, or he talked about a lot, Batman and Robin, like he's a much better Robin, and that's that's. No shame in it. Is he even a Robin? I mean, let's just be honest he he even a Robin? I mean, if he's got Steph Curry, I think he is a lot better suited for that role than he is as a Batman. Advertisement But you're right, I'm saying is he even a Robin is what I'm what I'm saying is he even a Robin? Like is he the third guy at this 0.36 years old, the injuries is mounting up. Uh, is he even a robin? It's really my question, Tom. That that's the way I feel about it with him.
