After Kissing Her 30-Year-Old Costar When She Was 15, Alicia Silverstone Believed They Were In An Actual Relationship

Yahoo2 days ago
Back in 1993, Alicia Silverstone made her film debut in Alan Shapiro's thriller The Crush.
Alicia, who was 15 when she shot the movie, starred as protagonist Adrian Forrester — a teenage girl who has a dangerous obsession with writer Nick Eliot, played by then-30-year-old Cary Elwes. In recent years, the film has been described as 'controversial' due to its subject matter.

This week, while reflecting on some of her iconic roles from the '90s in a video with Entertainment Weekly, Alicia recalled what it was like kissing Cary in the film.
"I thought Cary always was my boyfriend, for sure, because he kissed me. I had to kiss the guy from The Princess Bride! I just remember that, when I was little... But he's a lot older than me," she shared.

'We had this kiss in the film and, because I was young — I think I was 15 — I thought that that meant he was my boyfriend now! Not really, but a little bit. I went to his trailer and asked him if that was OK, and he was so kind,' she detailed.
Alicia went on to recall feeling somewhat possessive over Cary when his wife, Lisa Marie Kubikoff, took photos of the two of them on set.
'Lisa Marie, his wife, sent me pictures from back in the day where we're laying together, and I'm looking at her while she's taking the picture like, 'This is my man,'' she said.

Alicia clarified that Cary was incredibly 'sweet' and took great care of her on set. 'He was a really good big brother to me and took care. He was so lovely. We had a very professional relationship, and he was very big-brother-like to me, and very sweet and kind. It was just a great job. What a great part to play. It was so fun,' she said.

Fox News Host Has Lame Defense For Why Gavin Newsom's Tweets Are Bad, But Trump's Are Not

Fox Newshost Dana Perino attempted to defend her pearl-clutching towardCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom's trend oftrolling tweets on Tuesday's episode of'The Five.' But doing so required her to ignore the reason for the governor's recent mockery of Donald Trump's social media style and insisted Newsom is just being a copycat. Newsom has recently been mocking MAGA by mimicking the president's all-caps online posts, complete with insults and ludicrously narcissistic praise of himself. In the process, Trump lovers like Kid Rock have gotten themselves in a MAGA tizzy over the posts. On Monday, Perino suggested with a straight face that Newsom has 'to stop it with the Twitter thing,' claiming he was 'making a fool' of himself in the process. Many people on social media mocked Perino's complaints about Newsom's posts because many of them are direct copies of previous Trump posts. As a result, she faced accusations of hypocrisy and having a partisan double standard where mean tweets are concerned. Related: Newsom's Press Office responded with an all-caps post that began, 'DANA 'DING DONG' PERINO (NEVER HEARD OF HER UNTIL TODAY!) IS MELTING DOWN BECAUSE OF ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM!' Perino attempted to defend her pearl-clutching by saying, 'We get the joke,' though her excuse required her to be humorless. Related: 'He was reading tweets that were written for him by people that he is heavily investing in to try to help him look more like Trump, I guess,' she said. 'I mean, I thought they hated Trump, but they're trying to be more like him and they have to pay people to do it.' She also insisted that the problem she had with Newsom's posts is that they weren't authentic. She added: 'You're trying to do somebody else who you say is Hitler, and you think that we don't get the joke. Oh, no, we get the joke. It's just not funny.' Perino's co-host, Jesse Watters, also seemed a bit miffed at Newsom for following the lead of the GOP's fearless leader. 'They claim conservatives don't get the joke, we do ― we just think you look like a tool,' he said without irony. Both Perino and Watters' lame defenses of their partisan double standards were mocked by others on social media. Related...

Jillian Michaels pushes back on claims made against her in Netflix's 'Biggest Loser' docuseries

The fitness trainer said she's considering suing Netflix over the allegations made against her in 'Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser.' Jillian Michaels is pushing back against claims made about her in Netflix's newly released docuseries, Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser, which began streaming on Aug. 15. The series delves into the history of the NBC reality show, The Biggest Loser, which the fitness trainer co-hosted for 12 seasons. Among the claims made in the docuseries is that Michaels put extreme restrictions on contestants' diets, bragged to one season winner that he had made her 'a millionaire' and broke show rules by giving contestants caffeine pills to help them lose weight. The docuseries features interviews with Michaels's cohost Bob Harper, the show's medical consultant Dr. Robert Huizenga and former contestants, cast and crew members. Michaels shared four Instagram posts on Tuesday that she says challenge the accusations made against her in the Netflix series. Her screenshots include statements attributed to The Biggest Loser's executive producers Mark Koops and Dave Broome, emails with producers and a former contestant, and an email from former NBC Entertainment chairman Paul Telegdy. In addition to the Instagram posts, Michaels said she's also considering filing a lawsuit against Netflix, telling TMZ that she'd already scheduled a meeting with Bryan Freedman, an entertainment lawyer who is representing Justin Baldoni in his legal battle against Blake Lively. In one of her posts, Michaels shared a screenshot of an email from 2010 to a contestant on the show telling her to eat 1,600 calories the following day, as well as screenshots of emails with show producers and medical staff, which, she wrote in the caption, show her 'emphasizing the ongoing priority of ensuring contestants were adequately nourished.' Michaels also posted screenshots of text messages that she said were sent to her business partner but the screenshots themselves do not show who they are from. In one exchange, the unidentified messenger sent a quote attributed to Broome saying he did not 'hear any comment from Jillian about becoming a millionaire during the live finale.' In the second screenshot, the sender says Koops said the cast was wearing microphones at the time and that 'no one is aware of any recording capturing such a comment.' Michaels specifically took issue with the claim that she broke rules and gave contestants caffeine pills — an accusation that had been made prior to the current Netflix series. In a 2013 Biggest Loser episode, host Alison Sweeney confronted Michaels on-air: 'Last week Jillian broke the rules and gave caffeine supplements to each member of her team without a doctor's permission.' In the Netflix series, Huizenga said he had banned coffee because 'people were abusing it.' However, multiple former contestants who were interviewed said they were given these caffeine supplements while filming the show. 'Dr. Huizenga did approve caffeine pills on many seasons,' Michaels wrote on Instagram. 'Bob Harper not only knew about the caffeine pills the 'stacks fat burner' were actually his suggestion. I wanted to use my brand instead because they were cleaner and had no more than 200mg of caffeine.' The Biggest Loser debuted on NBC in 2003 and aired for more than a decade. On the show, contestants competed to lose the highest percentage of body weight within 30 weeks, often using weight loss methods including 'strenuous exercise' and 'caloric restriction,' which were criticized by doctors and nutritionists outside the show at the time, the New York Times reported in 2009.
