Righteous! Fast Times at Ridgemont High FINALLY Hits Blu-Ray August 9

Who ordered a double cheese and sausage? That would be Spicoli. Ok then, who ordered Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) on Blu-Ray? That would be Universal Studios Home Entertainment , which is finally bringing the Mr. Skin-approved comedy classic to Blu-Ray August 9th. Fast Times was released in the now-defunct HD DVD format back in early 2008, just before Blu-Ray won out in the Great HD Format Wars of the late 2000s. Now the Blu-Ray comes loaded (pun, as always, intended) with audio commentary from director Amy Heckerling and writer Cameron Crowe , the documentary “Reliving Our Fast Times at Ridgemont High” featuring the cast and crew reminiscing about their (s)experiences on set, and the featurette “The Music of Fast Times at Ridgemont High.” The Blu-Ray edition hits stores, brick-and-mortar and online alike, August 9, and is available for pre-order on Amazon.com now. The breast part? You can’t wear out the tape rewinding Phoebe Cates ’ pool scene over and over and over and over…

First Look at Sigourney Weaver’s Vampire Getup in Vamps

Director Amy Heckerling gave us Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Clueless , so it’s only appropriate that she raise the bar on her brand of socially hierarchical fun with a stark left turn: Vamps , a romantic comedy starring Clueless alums Alicia Silverstone and Wallace Shawn, Sigourney Weaver, and Krysten Ritter, ensconces us in a world of vampires — and not the whiny, blanched ones. Though Heckerling’s reunion with Silverstone is plenty enticing, Weaver’s role as queen of the vampires warrants a few double-takes. Check out new pictures posted to the in-production film’s Facebook page.

Alicia Silverstone Expecting First Child

‘Clueless’ actress confirms pregnancy with husband Christopher Jarecki. By Mawuse Ziegbe Alicia Silverstone Photo: Charles Gallay/ Getty Images Alicia Silverstone has, like, so totally grown up. The actress, who shot to fame as the ditzy, fashion-forward 16-year-old rich kid in the hit 1995 movie “Clueless,” is pregnant. The star’s rep confirmed to People that Silverstone and her husband of five years, musician Christopher Jarecki, are expecting their first child together. The star has also been spotted tooling around Los Angeles in casual gear, sporting her growing baby bump. Silverstone, who has stayed busy since her “Cher” days appearing in the Broadway play “Time Stands Still” and writing the cookbook “The Kind Diet,” said last year that she has been eagerly anticipating motherhood. “I’ve been wanting to have a baby since I was 2 years old,” she told People. “I’m destined to be a mother.” Silverstone also said she loved portraying a pregnant woman onstage in “Still”: “Wearing a pregnancy suit was so much fun,” she said. “I loved the feeling of pretending to be pregnant and having little arms and legs and this big belly.” In addition to expanding her family, Silverstone has some professional projects on the horizon and will reunite with “Clueless” writer-director Amy Heckerling for the upcoming flick “Vamps.” Silverstone will star opposite Sigourney Weaver and Krysten Ritter as a young vampire with a taste for blood and New York nightlife. Silverstone also will appear in the upcoming flick “Butter,” alongside Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Garner, Olivia Wilde and Ty Burrell from ABC’s “Modern Family.” The film tells the story of a young orphan (Yara Shahidi) who displays a talent for crafting butter sculptures — a development that threatens to derail the dreams of Garner’s character, who is set on winning a butter-carving competition in a small Midwestern town.
