Alicia Silverstone has officially turned 50 – although fans of her most famous movie could be forgiven for feeling completely Clueless about where the time has gone.
The actress celebrated the milestone birthday on October 4, 2026, more than three decades after she became one of the defining faces of the 1990s as Beverly Hills teen Cher Horowitz.
And while Alicia has barely changed since the days of yellow plaid skirts and knee-high socks, one person in her life certainly has – her son Bear Blu, who is now 15 and looks just like his famous mom.

The news that Tucker Kraft signed a new contract ahead of the Green Bay Packers' 2026 season opener has fired up former teammates, current teammates and fans.
Kraft is getting a four-year contract extension worth $75 million, plus a $26.5 million signing bonus, reports PackersNews' Tom Silverstein.
The tight end signed the contract in Lambeau Field facilities on Saturday before the team departed for Minneapolis for the Week 1 game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Kraft, entering his fourth season, is making his highly anticipated return to game action after he tore his ACL in a Nov. 2 game last season.
He'll look to pick up where he left off prior to the injury. He was having a breakout season where a week prior had set career highs for receptions and receiving yards.

A driver born with no arms says he is determined to make motorsport history by competing at the highest levels - using only his feet.
Callum Smith from Warwickshire learned to drive just two years ago but has now joined Team Brit, a competitive team of disabled racing drivers.
The team has adapted a BMW 1 Series specifically for the driver, who has been passionate about motorsports since childhood.
"My motto in life has always been improvise, adapt and overcome," he said.
His passion was spotted by the all-disabled team which signed him as a rookie driver after a successful test day at Silverstone.

The Green Bay Packers appear to have made their choice at long snapper to start the 2026 season. According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Packers are releasing long snapper Cal Adomitis on Sunday, leaving Matt Orzech as the lone long snapper on the roster.
Adomitis, a former member of the Cincinnati Bengals, was signed early in training camp and operated as the Packers long snapper throughout camp and during all three preseason games. Orzech, the team's long snapper since 2023, has been on the PUP list since the start of training camp due to a lingering calf injury.
Releasing Adomitis strongly suggests that the Packers believe Orzech will be healthy and ready to go come Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings. The regular season opener is still two weeks away.
Adomitis played 29 snaps on special teams -- snapping for 12 punts and 17 field goals -- over three preseason games. The snaps weren't consistently perfect but there were no major errors, and rookie kicker Trey Smack was perfect on his 17 kicks -- nine field goals and eight extra points.
However, the fact that the Packers kept Orzech on the roster despite a multi-week injury always pointed to the team's desire for Orzech to be the snapper come Week 1.

Busy Philipps has ex-husband Marc Silverstein and late friend James Van Der Beek to thank for the discovery of her rare brain tumor.
Philipps, 47, is "grateful" to be alive after doctors found a grade 2 oligodendroglioma, a rare type of brain cancer, during the actress' voluntary full-body scan in February.

The White Chicks star told People in a Wednesday, August 26, interview that she had originally scheduled the procedure for January, but was forced to postpone due to a blizzard in New York City. Her rescheduled appointment, however, was set for February 12 — just one day after her beloved Dawson's Creek costar Van Der Beek died after a battle with stage 3 colorectal cancer.
"Should I just cancel it?" she recalled asking Silverstein, 55, with whom she shares daughters Birdie, 18, and Cricket, 13. "He's like, 'Maybe it's the best thing you could do for your friend this morning. Go get that scan.'"

Busy Philipps is grateful to be alive after spending six months battling a brain tumor.
Talking with People in an interview published Wednesday, Philipps revealed that she learned about her grade 2 oligodendroglioma – a rare and slow-moving tumor – right as she booked her upcoming role on "Cupertino." She called the experience "the weirdest six months of my life."
"I'm grateful that I'm alive," she said.
The tumor was discovered after Philipps did a Prenuvo MRI scan. She did it despite her doctors saying it wasn't needed because she was young and did not have any symptoms but she felt the need to do it anyway.
The day before the scan was scheduled, Philipps' friend and former "Dawson's Creek" co-star James Van Der Beek lost his battle with cancer and the day after the scan she was set to meet with "Cupertino" creators Michelle and Robert King. She wondered if because of all that if she should just cancel the scan but a conversation with her ex-husband Marc Silverstein convinced her to stick it out.

Formula 1 star Max Verstappen will take on a new challenge next month when he goes up against 100 drivers in what has been touted as the world's biggest kart race.
The Red Bull driver will line up on the back of the grid at a purpose-built kart layout at Silverstone on 16 September, and be tasked with overtaking all 100 rivals before the time runs out.
The race, named 'Max vs 100' will be broadcast live on Disney+ around the globe and ESPN in the US.
The Dutchman will be up against a field comprising stars from various disciplines, including Red Bull athletes, celebrities, content creators and everyday fans. While the full entry list is yet to be released, Red Bull has already confirmed the participation of ultrarunner Arda Saatçi, basketball star Chris Matthews, freestyle mountain biker Matt Jones and streamers TheGrefg, Caedrel and TheDonato.
Verstappen, who started his own career in karting at the age of four before rising through the ranks to make his F1 debut with Toro Rosso (now Racing Bulls) at the age of 17, said: "In go-karts you learn all the basics: starts, defending, overtaking.

George Russell has said he has "nothing to lose" in his ******* le bid against Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli, returning to track action feeling "way more relaxed" after F1's summer break and pipping the Italian to the front row of Sunday's Dutch GP grid.
Russell's campaign to catch his teenage teammate began with a victory from Pole in the Sprint Race on Saturday, taking him to within 56 points of Antonelli, and closer to Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton in second place. Russell's strong Zandvoort weekend continued later on in the afternoon,beating a frustrated Antonelli to P2 by 0.03s behind pole sitter Lando Norris.
Asked on whether the Dutch GP could represent a turning point in his championship hopes - having suffered a string of bad luck with DNFs and power unit struggles for much of the season's first half - a measured Russell replied: "I'm just going to take it race by race. I'm not going to come away from this weekend and say all issues are resolved.
"I do think I made some big changes going into the Barcelona weekend, and as I said earlier this morning, I had some good races, Barcelona and Austria. Then Silverstone and Spa, we had the PU issue, and Budapest was just not a competitive weekend on my side. So, I think it just hasn't been a clean run this season. It has not been a clean season whatsoever with all of the issues that we've had."

Just hours after Carlos Sainz shocked the paddock by signing a multi-year contract extension to remain at Atlassian Williams through 2027, team principal James Vowles is shedding light on exactly how he convinced his star driver to stay.
The 2026 season has been an undeniable struggle for the Grove-based outfit. Currently languishing in eighth place in the Constructors' Championship with just 11 points, the team's FW48 chassis was severely delayed and heavily overweight, exposing the outdated internal design processes Vowles inherited. Despite these massive setbacks—and a frankly bleak outlook for the rest of the year—both Sainz and his teammate Alex Albon have bought into the long-term vision.
Rather than sugarcoating the team's current predicament, Vowles is taking full accountability for the botched winter development cycle.
Following a highly disappointing British Grand Prix where a fast-tracked front wing upgrade failed to push Williams up the grid, Sainz openly expressed his worries about the team's correlation data. Addressing those frustrations, Vowles told the media (at the Dutch GP) that the upgrade did work, but it wasn't enough to mask the car's foundational flaws.
"The initial thought that we had post-Silverstone, because of our position relative to the grid, was we haven't added performance to the car," Vowles told the media. "Actually, we had; just unfortunately the rate of development of the field is incredibly high, and there were other issues in this year's car that are holding us back as a result of it".

IRVINE, Calif. (AP) — Van Mathias has made a huge splash in his U.S. senior national team debut this week at the Pan Pacific Championships, the biggest international swim meet of the year for the Americans.
He has won two golds and two silvers in four events heading into the final night of competition Saturday in the outdoor pool some 40 miles from the site of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Quite a stunner from a guy whose day job is director of operations for Indiana University's swimming and diving program. Mathias, who turns 26 later this month, swam five years for the Hoosiers. He then hung up his suit and goggles and went home to Beaverton, Oregon.
He worked various jobs, mostly stayed out of the water, and took up weightlifting with his mother and uncle, both former competitive lifters.
Then he got a call from IU coach Ray Looze, who was looking for an operations director. Mathias got the gig and moved back to Bloomington, where he oversees team travel, recruiting visits and all the little things that keep a Division I program running.

Great Britain lead the medal table at the European Athletics Championships 2026 after a thrilling first two days of competition, with sprinters Romell Glave and Jeremiah Azu picking up gold and silver respectively in the men's 100m to take the national tally to two golds and two silvers.
Their success followed world 200m silver medallist Amy Hunt winning GB's first gold of the championships as she surged to victory in the 100m on Monday night in 11 seconds flat, having been seventh of the eight-athlete final after the first 10m due to a typical slower start. But she stormed back to overhaul Poland's Ewa Swoboda and Belgium's Delphine Nkansa, while defending champion Dina Asher-Smith finished fifth.
Italy and the Netherlands are close behind GB on four medals apiece while Norway took two golds on the opening night, with Jakob Ingebrigtsen claiming a brilliant 5,000m gold after nearly a year out of competition.
The Norwegian great was sidelined with an Achilles injury which required surgery in January and only returned to full training six weeks ago, but stunned his rivals in the final 100m - after appearing completely boxed in - to win a record-equalling seventh European gold.
The Norwegian 4x400m mixed relay team added a second gold later that evening, while Britain's team were led home to silver by Yemi Mary John.

Jorge Martin converted pole position into a commanding victory in the British Grand Prix sprint to extend his lead at the top of the MotoGP standings.
The Spaniard nailed the start and then led every lap of the half-distance race at Silverstone, only facing a brief threat from Trackhouse's Ai Ogura during the middle stages before pulling comfortably clear in the final laps.
With Marco Bezzecchi finishing third behind team-mate Martin and Ogura, Aprilia secured its first-ever sprint podium lockout, even as Raul Fernandez crashed out early on.
At the start of the race, Martin made a clean start from pole, with Ogura jumping to second as his team-mate Fernandez slipped to sixth.
Meanwhile, Marco Bezzecchi and Marc Marquez engaged in a close battle for fourth behind Ogura and Fabio di Giannantonio, the pair making contact at Turn 4 before the factory Ducati rider found a way past into Stowe.

An extension to Silverstone's deal to continue hosting MotoGP is a boost to the local and national economy, the track's managing director has said.
MotoGP and Silverstone announced the news to keep the highest class of motorbike racing at the Northamptonshire venue until 2028 earlier this week.
The move came as the track prepares to host this year's British Grand Prix, with tens of thousands of fans expected to attend on Sunday.
"It's great news," said Silverstone boss Stuart Pringle. "MotoGP is enjoying a strong period at the moment and we hope to introduce more and more motorsport fans to see this spectacular racing."

Florida State offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach Tim Harris Jr. and defensive coordinator Tony White spoke on Wednesday, recapping FSU's scrimmage.
Harris Jr. focused on communication and tempo, saying the offense's install has to move faster than most because of the volume FSU's defense throws at it in practice. He said Ashton Daniels' confidence has grown daily and that he handled pre-snap adjustments flawlessly in Tuesday's scrimmage, with Kevin and Dean also getting positive reviews. Harris pointed to yards after contact as a season-long emphasis for the running backs, also noting Tre Wisner was held out of the scrimmage with a minor issue. He also said Tuesday marked the first true dry run of game-day operation (press box staffed, sideline communication and iPads used as they would be in a game) and called it clean.
White said he left the scrimmage angry but changed his mind after watching the film, calling the sideline operation better than nearly any point last season and the tackling cleaner than a typical first scrimmage. He described a disruptive defensive line with a couple of sacks and roughly 10 tackles for loss, and credited the group's offseason work for turning thinking into instinct. He also said the remaining camp work shifts to situational football, and named conditioning as the one thing that still has to improve
The Seminoles are now in Jacksonville for their annual Duval excursion, holding three practices at UNF from Wednesday to Saturday.
Jordan Silversmith wrote on Ousmane Kromah and the second-year running back's potential for a breakout season:

MotoGP has announced a new two-year contract with Silverstone, ensuring the British Grand Prix will remain on the calendar until at least 2028.
The news was made official on the eve of this year's United Kingdom round of MotoGP, which marks the start of the second half of the 2026 season.
Although MotoGP hasn't been able to replicate the same success that Formula 1 has enjoyed at Silverstone recently, the UK remains an important market for the championship.
The series said the agreement "provides a strong platform to continue investing in long-term success" of the event, which attracted just shy of 100,000 fans last year.
To boost the popularity of this year's event, MotoGP staged a watch party in London during the Dutch GP, while the official pre-event press conference for the British GP has also been moved to the capital.

Wales have collected 22 medals so far at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with five gold, six silver and 11 bronze medals.
There are three more guaranteed medals after boxers Orlando Holley-Sotomi and Connor Williams reached Saturday's finals, with Owain Harris-Allan left to box in Friday's semi-finals.
Wales' most successful Games were on the Gold Coast in 2018 where they won home 36 medals, including 10 golds, 12 silvers and 14 bronze, but the streamlined nature of this Glasgow event makes it difficult to compare.
The 2026 medals include six in swimming, six in cycling, four in athletics, three in artistic gymnastics, and one each in bowls, weightlifting and boxing.
The swimming relay podium position count as one medal per race but all the competitors who took part in the heat or finals of that event will be given a medal. That means 13 Welsh swimmers leave Glasgow with medals.

Michaela Walsh delivered a punch-perfect display to guarantee herself at least bronze, dominating Scotland's Lara Brown in their featherweight quarter-final, but Caitlin Fryers bowed out in the flyweight division.
The defending Commonwealth Games champion put on an exhibition of counter-punching to win every round on all five cards, sweeping into Friday's semi-final where she will face Fiji's Jasmine Daunakamakama.
It is Walsh's fourth Commonwealth Games and the Holy Family fighter has now medalled in each, winning gold four years ago with silvers in 2018 and 2014.
However, it's performance rather than podium which is driving the 33-year-old this time.
"Medals don't define happiness," Walsh told BBC Sport NI.

The Packers can't get their kicking situation settled, and Tuesday's transactions showed that the position is still a work in progress.
The Packers drafted Trey Smack out of Florida in the sixth round this spring. They also had Lucas Havrisik on their roster to compete with Smack.
But the team released Havrisik on Tuesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The Packers signed Lenny Krieg to replace Havrisik in the competition, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

World champion Lando Norris has taken a swipe at Formula One chiefs accusing them of putting profit before the sport.
Speaking ahead of this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, Norris also claimed F1 fans who have not been reared on Netflix's Drive to Survive series will "hate" this season's regulations.
The new engine rules – a 50-50 split between combustion and electrical power – have attracted criticism up and down the grid. They are back in the spotlight after the power-dependent rounds at Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps.
Respected Sky F1 pundit Martin Brundle said he had been left with a "tear in my eye because we've lost all the great corners at Silverstone and at Spa" with drivers effectively slowing down at top speed to recharge their battery.
And Norris said: "It's a business. Everyone wants to make money, so in order for Audi (new to the grid for 2026) and other teams like Cadillac to come in, we had to make changes.

Mercedes deputy technical director Simone Resta has delved into George Russell's recent woes, as the team identified a software issue compounded by the Briton's older power unit.
Russell and his squad have been mystified by a lack of top speed relative to team-mate Kimi Antonelli at Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps. Mercedes' lead racer attempted to tweak his driving style, to no avail, as his troubles were linked to the power unit's software code resulting in an imbalance in energy distribution.

"As we all know, it's a very complex new set of regulations with the power unit," Resta said. "It's quite early days. We've just done 10 races so far, and there is a lot to learn. We are still learning a lot together, ourselves and our colleagues at HPP. We found a bug in our software, and we had to react to it.

Former IndyCar Series driver and F1 TV pundit James Hinchcliffe has argued that Aston Martin's highly anticipated upgrade package at the Hungarian Grand Prix should not be judged solely on its immediate pace, warning that the team will need time to maximise the changes.
Ahead of the final race before Formula 1's summer break, the Silverstone outfit is debuting a massive upgrade package at the Hungaroring. Aston Martin opted against introducing incremental changes, instead choosing to target Hungary to essentially bring a B-spec car.
Speaking on F1 TV's Weekend Warm-Up, Hinchcliffe discussed the pressure on the Adrian Newey-led squad to deliver a result.
"Yes, there's a lot of pressure, certainly. They've made a bold choice. I've never seen anything quite like it in Formula 1 to just sit on the car as is and have everything come in one go," Hinchcliffe explained.
"And there's just going to be so much hope, so much anticipation for this weekend that it all works. Now remember, just because you bolted it onto the car today doesn't mean you've maximised the package today.

The 2026 Formula 1 season has been incredibly brutal for Aston Martin. After tumbling down the competitive order and fighting a severely overweight and aerodynamically flawed chassis, the Silverstone-based squad is finally hitting the reset ****** on.
As the paddock sets up for the Hungarian Grand Prix, the FIA has released the official car presentation documents, and Aston Martin’s submission is nothing short of staggering. The team has declared a massive 16-component upgrade package. This isn’t a simple front wing tweak—this is effectively the debut of the highly anticipated B-spec AMR26.
The official FIA document reveals that nearly every aerodynamic surface on the car has been heavily revised. Unsurprisingly, almost all of the 16 changes are primarily focused on increasing “local load” to conquer the twisty, downforce-heavy layout of the Hungaroring.
The aggressive changes start right at the front of the car. Aston Martin has introduced a completely new, “longer, thinner nose” ****** embly that marries to a highly revised front wing featuring redistributed chord profiles and updated endplate diveplanes. Moving rearward, the team has fundamentally redesigned the car’s underbody.
The FIA document confirms that “all of the permitted surfaces of the floor” have been changed. This includes heavily updated leading-edge floor fences, a highly modified floor edge just ahead of the rear tires, and a completely reworked diffuser.

Cadillac Formula 1 driver Sergio Perez believes Aston Martin's significant car update at this weekend's Hungarian GP will close the gap with his team.
Aston Martin has struggled massively with its AMR26, and with engine partner Honda also facing a steep development curve, the team decided to hold back its upgrades until it could bring enough performance to the car to lift it from the back of the grid.
That moment has now arrived in Budapest, with the AMR26 getting a facelift including a full aerodynamic overhaul and a weight reduction.
Paddock rumours vary on just how much of a laptime boost Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will get out of their new package, with some observers expecting the AMR to gain over two seconds per lap.
That type of gain will be necessary to threaten Cadillac and get off the last row of the grid. The fastest Cadillac was 1.6 seconds quicker in qualifying in Silverstone and 2.4s up in Belgium, although Honda's lack of power and deployment exaggerated that gap. In Barcelona and Spielberg, Aston Martin's deficit was just over a second, with the caveat that Cadillac has since also added performance to its MAC-26.

Richard Gere may be filming a romantic drama filled with flirty scenes alongside costar Diana Silvers, but a source exclusively tells Closer there's no drama waiting for the Pretty Woman star at home.
The source says that Gere's wife of eight years, Alejandra Silva, has complete confidence in her husband, 76, and isn't fazed by photos showing the pair looking cozy while filming.
"Alejandra is thrilled that Richard is getting the chance to work on this exciting project. She isn't the least bit threatened, if anything, she's proud of him," the source tells Closer. "She knows exactly who she's married to and she trusts him completely so any talk about her being jealous is just talk."
According to the source, while the behind-the scenes images from the set may look romantic, they're really just an example of actors doing their jobs.
"People are seeing these photos of him and Diana looking like they're sharing these really intimate moments, but the reality is they're working," the source explains. "They're both very talented actors, so of course it looks like they're really falling in love, but that's not true at all."
