Mattel releases 'Clueless' Barbie dolls for movie's 30th anniversary. How to buy.
Mattel is "totally buggin'" with its new line of "Clueless" Barbie dolls in celebration of the movie's 30th anniversary this summer. Mattel launched Cher and Dionne Barbie dolls last week, sporting iconic plaid skirts and blazers, with '90 cellphones, antennas and all, in hand. The Barbie dolls are just two of Mattel's new collector toys for the "Clueless" anniversary, which also include American Girl doll outfits, a Polly Pocket compact and an Uno deck. Released on July 19, 1995, "Clueless" follows Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and Dionne (Stacey Dash), shallow and socially successful teenagers at Beverley Hills High School. When Cher, who sees herself as a matchmaker, tries to give the new girl Tai (Brittany Murphy) a makeover, she is stunned when she becomes more popular than she is. But under all the sass and plaid, Cher struggles to find her own perfect boyfriend, which may or may not be found in her ex-stepbrother Josh (Paul Rudd). As Saturday's anniversary nears, here's what to know about Mattel's limited-edition "Clueless" collection.

Review: ‘That's What Friends Are For' celebrates the songs of Patti LaBelle, Dionne Warwick and Gladys Knight
The most fun I ever had at Black Ensemble Theater was in 2006 at the old Hull House on Beacon Street, and it involved the legendary vocalist Dionne Warwick. By then, theater founder Jackie Taylor's BET had settled into its longtime mode of paying tribute to great recording artists by including their songs within a biographical story and then hiring often knockout young talent to perform the music. The lack of so-called 'grand rights,' which apply to music within a theatrical context, was often an issue, but most of those being honored clearly decided this was a small, non-profit operation and not a problem worth pursuing. But when it came to 'Don't Make Me Over: In Tribute to Dionne Warwick,' Warwick showed up herself to see the show. She was in my line of sight and her face looked very skeptical at first. But the young performers clearly won her over and watched her melt in real time. That started a friendship with Taylor that even led to Warwick, who dabbled in interior design, styling BET's new theater on Clark Street. Warwick is just a third of BET's latest attraction, 'That's What Friends Are For: Gladys, Dionne and Patti,' but the memory came flooding back. We regulars at BET also have seen a prior Patti LaBelle show: 'A New Attitude: In Tribute to Patti LaBelle' (2018), and, come to think of it, this is also not the first time the relationship between Gladys Knight and her Pips has been probed on this stage, either. This time, using the device of a real-life reunion in Las Vegas, the song stylings of all three women can be heard in the same show, as written and directed by Daryl D. Brooks with an eye to the legacies not just of these women but of this theater. As is often the case at BET, you get a 'young' version of all three stars (Michaela Dukes is the youthful Gladys, Bri Buckley the young Dionne, and Courtney 'CO.' Driver is young Patti), and also 'mature' versions (Rose Marie Simmons is Gladys, Sybyl Walker is Dionne and Tamara Batiest is Patti). There are stellar backup singers, a little familiar history and then one song after another rolls out into the hot Chicago summer. I don't need to list the titles. But if you're a fan of all three women, what's not to like? Here, both Pattis steal the show, delighting the audience.. One note: I sorely missed the horn section in the BET house band, which has the most distinguished of histories in Chicago musical theater. No doubt times have become harder but that's one of this theater's signatures. Just like the fun it dispenses. Review: 'That's What Friends Are For: Gladys, Dionne and Patti' (2.5 stars) When: Through July 27 Where: Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center, 4450 N. Clark St. Running time: 2 hours Tickets: $57.50-$67.50 at 773-769-4451 and
