Paying to see Clueless is not really mandatory. You can learn most of the jokes by surfing the TV and newspaper reviews and get a hint of Silverstone's blithe luster by watching mtv's relentless promotions.

Kerrigan's mom broke the news that the Washington-based agent had presented Nancy with a ring (ice, of course) last month. Solomon, who separated from his first wife in 1993, has said in the past that he and the Olympic skating medalist drew closer after she was clubbed on the leg in January 1994. Wedding details are still unclear, but afterward they're probably not going to Disney World...
