The actress, now 77, was spotted running errands near her Los Angeles home on April 25.

Dressed in cargo pants and a flannel shirt featuring photos of a donkey, Twink carried a stuffed crocodile and a robot shark as she stepped out of grocery chain Erewhon.
Three decades after the hit film, she still sported her signature red hair.
Twink last acted in an uncredited role for the 2020 Quibi show Royalties starring Darren Criss and directed by Clueless showrunner Amy Heckerling.
In her last interview that same year, Twink reflected on her iconic role as the quirky teacher set up by Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and Dionne (Stacey Dash).
'It moves me to think that I would move anybody or that they would like me that much,' she told Today in July 2020.
She also loved Miss Geist's romance with Mr. Hall, played by Wallace Shawn.
'When they found each other, it completed them. And it was genuinely kind of pulling your heartstrings," she gushed.
'Oh, what a great time in life," she said of the film's popularity in the 90s.
"It was so pure and happy. And the jokes were amazing.
"But it was a time where all the characters loved each other. They were real friends. And they were rooting for each other.
"That's what's so wonderful about Clueless: it was happy.
And I think you get happy when you watch it because there's no enemy. There's no bad guy.'
CLUELESS IS BACK
Last week, news broke that actress Alicia, 48, is bringing back Clueless as a Peacock sequel series.
She will also serve as an executive producer, along with original film director Amy Heckerling.
It is unclear if Twink will reprise her role for the reboot.
She did, however, play Miss Geist again on the Clueless TV series, which ran from 1996 to 1999 on ABC and then UPN.
The original Clueless took the world by storm when it hit theaters in 1995, catapulting Alicia and the other teen stars including the late Brittany Murphy to fame.
The movie even has caught the attention of a much younger generation, as Kim Kardashian and daughter North, 11, dressed up as Cher and Dionne for Halloween in 2023.

WWE's partnership with ESPN will start sooner than expected

WWE 's partnership with ESPN will start earlier than first announced. The WWE's first premium live event on the network's platforms will be Wrestlepalooza from Indianapolis on Sept. 20. John Cena, who will retire from professional wrestling at the end of the year, will be part of the card. The other two premium live events this year — Crown Jewel on Oct. 11 and the Nov. 29 Survivor Series — will also be available to subscribers of ESPN's direct-to-consumer streaming service who have the unlimited plan. ESPN's direct-to-consumer package and upgraded app will debut on Thursday. When ESPN announced its deal with WWE on Aug. 6, the premium live events were supposed to move from Peacock in early 2026. A date was not announced but it was supposed to happen before WrestleMania. Peacock had been the home of WWE's premium live events since March 2021. ___

KitKat launches 'ghostly' new flavour and people can't wait to try it

While some people are making the most of summer, others are counting down to autumn and Halloween with companies ready to launch a vast array of spooky-themed products KitKat lovers are eager to get their hands on a new flavour of the classic chocolate bar - but it's not yet been spotted in regular shops and supermarkets. The original iteration of the beloved sweet treat is crafted with layers of wafers coated in creamy milk chocolate. ‌ It's been a firm favourite on countless confectionery shelves up and down the country since it was first launched back in 1935 as the 'chocolate crisp'. Throughout the decades, there's been a medley of flavours and special, limited edition releases of the trusty KitKat. ‌ Recently, a new festive flavour has been spotted. The hit food-focused social media page New Foods UK shared an image of a new, Halloween -themed bar on Instagram after snapping it up online from World Snacks sweet shop as part of an advertising campaign. ‌ The new bar comes in pumpkin-orange coloured packaging and features the standard KitKat wafers. But, instead of them being covered in milk chocolate, they're covered with cinnamon toast flavoured crème. This gives the bar itself an orange hue, making it stand apart from regular chocolate bars. The new flavour is named 'ghost toast', cashing in on spooky season which is just around the corner. Halloween lovers know to expect a vast array of new product launches centred around the annual occasion, with standard items often given a spooky twist. Captioning an image of the new KitKat Ghost Toast bar, New Foods UK penned: 'Ghost Cinnamon Toast KitKat!! This KitKat is top tier! Tastes just like cinnamon toast cereal! We got this from UK website @worldsnacksuk -AD #gifted'. In the comments section, people shared their thoughts. One person said: 'I always bring these back when we visit! Sooo good'. ‌ Another said: 'Oh wow! These look so good'. A third commented: 'spooky snack time', while another simply added: 'Yum'. The KitKat Ghost Toast bar is 42g and costs £2.99 from the World Snacks website. The description reads: 'Kit Kat Ghost Toast Snack Size features mini wafer bars infused with a delicious cinnamon toast flavour, perfect for a spooky twist on a classic treat. 'Each bar delivers the warm, comforting taste of cinnamon with a hint of crunch, making them ideal for Halloween snacking or sharing. 'These bite-sized treats are individually wrapped and perfect for adding a festive touch to your celebrations'. KitKat was originally founded in the 1930s by British confectionery company Rowntree's. According to KitKat's website, it came about through the desire to create 'a chocolate bar that could be consumed on-the-go without creating a mess'. In the late 1980s, it was taken over by Nestlé and is now 'sold in over 80 countries and is one of the most popular chocolate bars worldwide'.
