Book Soup presents Alicia Silverstone at 7 pm who discusses and signs her book The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Losing Weight, Looking Great, Saving Yourself, the Animals and the Planet!

So many movie and television moments give us pause to laugh, and point: "Hey! That's the Valley!"

Spearheaded by mother hen Sky Valencia, the group looks more like a collection of campy Baywatch castaways than serious foodies.

Our favorite episode so far features Ava, a Beverly Hills teen who shops, growls and pouts just like Alicia Silverstone in "Clueless." Ava lives with her mother in a condo in one of those high-rise buildings lining Wilshire Blvd, just west of the Los Angeles Country Club.
