We might be seeing more of another Clueless star!
Dion's booty can't get all the attention!
Alicia Silverstone is set to star in an ABC comedy pilot, Bad Mother's Handbook.
The show centers on Silverstone's character, Karen, a 32-year-old woman too busy taking care of her 16-year-old daughter and 48-year-old mother.
So if Silverstone's character is 32 and her daughter is 16, then 'Karen' was a teen mom!
Sounds like Jamie Lynn Spears will be watching!
Who would've guessed that teen pregnancy would be so en vogue in Hollywood?
Keep in mind that the show is just a pilot. The execs at ABC have yet to decide if you'll be seeing it in the Fall.
Alicia has had a less than stellar record on the small screen.
Good luck!

I LOVE her. Glad she's back. I only hope that she isn't playing something obnoxious again (her best acting was an aerosmith video!!!)
I got my first ever first, wow, i dont even feel that great.
LOVE her!
IF HER MOTHER ON THE SITCOM IS 48 THEN SHE WAS A TEEN MOTHER TOO. LOOKS LIKE IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY.
The grandma was 16 when she had the mom, too, according to the ages. 16 16 and 16.
she is a real nutjob!
Sounds very Gilmore Girls… but suckier.
So Karen's mom would've been 16 when she had Karen, and Karen would've been 16 when she had her daughter? How trashtastic.
QUICK!! Everyone scamper to write "First" instead of saying something intelligent!! Hurry up! You don't want to be 8th!
I am serious. I found a way to get $25.00 without doing anything. This isnt an email scam or a stupid pyramid scheme, if you want $25.00 for free with no questions asked email me. You dont have to sell anything, do anything, speak to anyone, call anyone, answer STUPID surveys, submit your email address for spam, NONE OF THAT BULL SHIT. If interested email me and I will tell you how. What do you have to lose? I am glad I emailed the person who send an ad about it, I know it's not alot of money but who couldnt use $25.00 for doing nothing??!!?? my email addy is R E A L D V D S 4 U AT Y A H O O DOT C O M
first
Loves It, indeed. Bring back the matchy-matchy outfits and bubblegum era, please!!!
not only was she a teen mom, but her mom was a teen mom!
Can you say Gilmore Girls?????
Bad Mothers Handbook was a novel! I have it but I've not read it. Nice one Perez.
The BBC over here in England made it into a TV show starring comedy actress Catherine Tate.
so was her mom. she wouldve been 16 when she gave birth as well.
perez..
As if!!! Babies having babies makes for good entertainment!
this show wont work
sounds kinda like Gilmore Girls
Who the hell is this woman?
wow good luk i would like to see her more on tv she rocked in ”beauty shop!”
Well karen's mom was a teen mom also… they're all 16 years apart from each other..
she SUCKS! She is clueless and and ignorant heffer!
I hope her pilot is a big success. Alicia does a tremendous amount of charitable work rescuing animals and the more money she makes, the more animals are helped.
I'll watch it for sure!
another tv show stolen from the uk…..
Hey Perez hun, if granny is 48, then she had Karen at 16, also, making granma and mom teenage mommies, thus the title . . .?!
ANyhoo, me luvs A.S., all the best sweets!
Alicia Silverstone is an annoying skank. She gives herself WAY TOO MUCH CREDIT!
She's so gorgeous, I hope it works for her this time around.
As much as I like her this doesn't sound like a winner.
I can't stand her! I'm sure this show will be a huge FLOP…just like her acting career!
gilmore girls anyone?!
It's already in the show in the UK, it's really funny. And Robert Pattinson's in it, squee!!
This is based on a book that actually concentrates on the daughter who is pregnant! Very funny though.
Karen's mom was also a teen mom because her mom is 48 and she is 32.
alicia silverstone is great and all, but im SO much more excited for alia shawkat (arrested development) to play her daughter! she is the reason that show will be funny!
NO EFFING WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS A UK SHOW WITH CATHRINE TATE!!! THEY CAN NOT RIP IT OFF!!!!!! ESPECIALLY WITH SOMEONE AS UN-FUNNY AS HER!!!!
Already been done. It was called Gilmore Girls

Hugs n' Kisses Bitches!!!
So this means mom and gramma were nutted at 15 and spit out foals at 16. Great, more sick perverted tv execs sitting around the table smoking crack pipes at production meetings while thinking their ideas are the next best thing since sliced bread.
Yay!
I love Alicia, she's such an inspiration, especially compared to all the bimbo airheads out there atm.
She's my hero!
Hope it does well!
Also if "Karen's" mother is 48 and "Karen" is 32 then grandma was also a teen mother. Good role model choice!
She looks like David Lee Roth in this pic.
looks like karen's mom is a teenage mom too. what are the odds
I REMEBER HER ON SOME SHOW
WELL SHE IS SO PRETTY
yeah this show is already in the UK.
ROBERT PATTINSON is in it. hes hilarious in it
…i meant to say hes hilarious in it, not to mention HOTTTT
That sounds like a shitty version of Gilmore Girls to me.
The show won't make it. The story sounds depressing already. I won't look forward to it.
I loved Alicia's show "Miss Match" from a few years ago that got canceled too soon. If not this vehicle, then I hope something else comes along for her!
sounds like GILMORE GIRLS to me
The grandma was pregnant at 16 too!!!
Besides that they all got pregnant at 16….
Why on earth would a daughter need to take care of her 48 year old mother?Good lord!!! If I'm not mistaken, most 48 year olds are still walking and talking…
How Random….Im actually reading this book RIGHT now…and this is such a non-appropriate role for her…I dont see it fitting at all…
Sounds like a "Gilmore Girls" knockoff…they're even using the exact same ages…lame.
I have read the book it's canny good, was a short drama on ITV in Engaland. Although Catherine Tate, (comedy show, doctor who,) played the mother I can't see what her and Alicia Silverstone have in common!!!!?
isn't this basically just the gilmore girls all over again?
i just wanted to let you know that i think you should quit getting on jlspears' back for being prego. i was 16 when i had my first child and it wasn't that bad. you make it seem like its a really, really bad thing to be 16 and pregnant. just remember that she is carrying a beautiful baby and when she has it you'll be the first one to try to get the pics.
I HATE THIS CHICK. YUK
SNOB!
The Bad Mother's Handbook was already a short series in the UK starring Catherine Tate in the Silverstone role. It was entertaining enough, but nothing special.
The 16 year old daughter, the 32 year old mom and the 48 year old grandma??? I hope the netowrks don't buy it becuase that's just stupid.
hmmmm…sounds like gilmore girls….
I hope this works out for Alicia! I love how she is a vegetarian and speaks out for animal rights. She's adorable.
Looks like her Mother was 16 also (48, 32, 16)…
Sounds exactly like Gilmore Girls minus the good writing and acting…
*
I CAN'T STAND THAT CROOKED MOUTH LISPING BITCH, SHE HASNT HAD A HIT SINCE CLUELESS!! IM SOOOO GLAD SHE WASNT ON "HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER" SHE WOULD HAVE RUINED IT, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE SHES IN.
*
GILMORE GIRLS RIP OFF ANYONE?? Lame, lame lame!
so in the pilot, will the daughter be pregnant too? otherwise, how would they be able to keep spitting out another female generation every 16 years? Is great-granny 64 years old? And how bout great-great granny who is 80? now that'd be a lovely show:( P.S. I loathed the Gilmore Girls, so how will this be any better and how can this explore any new avenues or situations that that other show hasn't already? yawn.
.
.
SHE'S FUGLY, WHAT DOES SHE HAVE, LIKE FIVE TEETH?? WTF.
.
.
HER FACE MAKES ME WANT TO JUST SLAP IT. UGH!!
.
.
This girl could bite an apple through a picket fence. What a tiresome PHONY.
Hey Alicia, red meat is good for the brain. Eat some, you need it.
Good to see that the US is siphoning off the Brits again. Yay for not having an original idea.
Ive read the book.
It's quite interesting.
I hope it comes to the UK because the british one was incredibly crap. Missed out half the best bits from the book.
BTW the gran never had a child. She's adopted her. =p
she was so pretty in clueless. shes really aged
sounds funny for about 3 episodes. clueless is the best movie ever!
She was so FIERCE in "The Crush!"
ahhhh this is the movie with ROBERT PATTINSON
http://apps.facebook.com/kaloopysays/?do=v&i=229
Alicia's a wonderful woman! I wish her ALL the best…. yippee!!
reminds me of Gilmore Girls…
sounds an awful lot like Gilmore Girls
WHAT ABOUT THE MOM'S AGE DIFF TO kAREN?????? 48 - 32!!?? sERIOUSLY?!
It also means 'Karen”s mother was 16 when she had a baby.
Title should be "Family of Whores" Not to worry, this will never get on TV. Alicia is a hasbeen and her most memorable performance in the last 5 years was ignoring Elisabeth on The View the day she fought with Rosie. Instead of being so worried about stupid dogs and cats she shold have worried aout her career. Her time has come and gone, hope she banked a lot of her earnnings.
this was a good show when it was called Gilmore Girls. So much for originality
how very GILMORE GIRLS of them…
She's 32 years old, has a 16 year old daughter and a 48 year old mother…so she was 16 when she got pregnant with her child, and her mother was 16 when she got pregnant with her..what is this, attack of the 16 year old mommy??? Dumb idea, hope she doesn't do it!
WTF, I got a question, why can we not have the original shows that were produced in the United Kingdom? Why do we have to Americanize EVERYTHING??? Well the British version was bloody brilliant! Also it had the hottie Robert Pattinson in it soooo I can't see the American version being better with him missing….
I'd be nice if she had herself a hit–
This was a one-off drama in the UK last year, with comedy actress Catherine Tate!!!!! And it's a novel too! Can't the Americans come up with ANYTHING ORIGINAL FOR ONCE?????
IS STILL STUPID FUCKIN IDIOT STILL ALIVE? FUCKIN HASBEEN. CLUELESS WAS AN ENDORSEMENT OF PROSTITUTION. FUCKIN HASBEEN. SHE IS A VERY POOR WOMAN NOWADAYS. WELL THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR PROMOTING WHORISM
PEREZ!! That show is hilarious and I don't think it will work w/ anyone else. Now… how about showing ROBERT PATTINSON some love and posting some stuff on him!! ( : He's the MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN on the planet! ( :
Okay, if the mom is 32, the kid is 16 and the grandmother is 38 then the math is mom was 16 when she had the kid just like grandma! She was 16 when she had the mom! Yuck.
Sounds a little like Gilmore Girls to me…
That's funny, take a common black storyline- change the main characters to white folks=possible $$$. I guess they're trying to appeal to a broader audience all the while exposing that teenage pregnancy is on the rise in the white community and the public at large should be sympathetic. I loved her in Clueless, but this doesn't peak my interest in the least.
already made in the UK, with Cathrine Tate and Robert Pattinson
based on a book i do believe
Wtf? Will it be filmed in a trailer park? Both Karen and her mom had kids at 16? And why would a 48 year old need taking care of by her 32 year old daughter? I'm 37 and my friends range in age from 22 to 40+ and I don't think any of them need to be taken care of….is the mom going to have some kind of illness? Also, although I would never call Jamie Lynn a role model, not all 16 year old mom's are "bad" (or atleast still considered bad by the time they're 32)….so I don't get the title….I would think if someone was the bad role model, it would be 48 year old grandma..
(I'm from the south, and this is quite normal in our small town…you can often find five and six generations still alive at once b/c everyone is having their kids in their early teens).
And why isn't great grandma featured? She'd only be 64…and great great grandma would only be 80….goodness, great great great grandma would probably still be alive at 96! (my mom is 64, her mom 86 and my other grandma in good health at 96 so the fact that many generations would be alive is possible!)
trying to replace Gilmore Girl's demographic by the sounds of it.
gilmore girls
Another Hollywood vegetarian…WE'RE TAKING OVER!!
