The long lusted-after, dreamed-about and angsted-over My So-Called Life: The Complete Series DVD box set is here. It’s finally here. I think Rickie’s World Happiness Dance is in order here. Who knows the steps? Geez, where are all the gay boys when you need them?

The deluxe set by Shout! Factory includes all 19 episodes from the much-loved landmark show’s one and only season, as well as a slew of extras.

Alicia Silverstone's new favorite hobby is opening her fridge. No, she hasn't become a binge eater — she's just gone a little loopy since becoming (ugh) a housewife. Marriage to a man will do that to you, I guess.
