Star Magazine's Interview - She's Clued In!

Woo-hoo! When STAR! caught up with golden Betty Alicia Silverstone in Sydney, we found her to be totally un-clueless. She filled us in on the real Alicia...

"That is just ridiculous! It's absurd!" Alicia Silverstone is spewing. Since superstardom claimed the Clueless mega-minxtrel as one of its own, rumor mongers have linked Alicia romantically with nearly every up-and- coming boy star.

"First there was Leonardo DiCaprio," sighs Alicia. "It was so far fetched. I do know him, he was my friend Caitlin's ex-boyfriend - but we don't talk on the phone and I don't ever see him!

"Then I heard that I was going out with Chris O'Donnel!" she shrieks. "I've only ever met him once and I can tell you now - there is nothing going on there!"

Fact: In real life, Alicia Silverstone is very small.

Fact: In real life, Alicia dresses unlike her try-hard Clueless character in snazzy snoot Armani fashion gear supplied by Mr. Armani himself, no less.

Fact: She is nothing, in fact, like Cher from Clueless. "I'm a totally different person to her," she agrees. "Her whole way of being, her morals, are all way different from me. I do know a lot of girls who are like her - materialistic and shallow. At school I had a hard time fitting in with people because I was nothing like the other girls. Boys, music, and make-up were the most important things and I always thought I was stupid because I didn't know anything about that stuff!"

The more you talk to Alicia the more she comes across as someone infinitely cluey. She doesn't find movie stardom glamorous, her role model is Jodie Foster ("She's intelligent and very sweet," says Alicia), and instead of blowing her big bucks on stupid stuff like, er, well, stuff, she's started her own movie production company and wants to make movies not just act in them. "River Phoenix would have been perfect for the movies I want to make," she reckons. "He was a really, really, good guy." And while she's planning to become a full-on mover-and-shaker in the business end of Hollywood as well as topping STAR!'s fave actress chart, she's also got her feet firmly on the ground.

"It sickens me how important things like the fashion world are for some people," she says. "It can be exiting but it's also very damaging. So many people are sooo shallow and robotic. I just hope people realize that it's not important how you look on the outside. It's more important what's on the inside."
