'Clueless' Star Alicia Silverstone Joins Dating App 'Bumble' Following Divorce

Alicia Silverstone, who is arguably one of the hottest actresses who ever lived, has decided to join the dating app 'Bumble!'
The 'Clueless' star decided to take the plunge into the online dating world nearly three years after finalizing her divorce from Christopher Jarecki. As for why the big decision, Silverstone says she has heard tons of "beautiful stories" from people about their experiences.
"I always thought it sounded so fascinating. It sounded like it opened up a lot of possibility for people and created hope," Alicia told People.
'Clueless' Star Is Online Dating!
She continued, "And I’ve heard tons of beautiful stories from people. I think it’s very much the norm now. And it makes sense. It’s kind of like going to a bar, but it’s more effective.” Adding, "It's an adventure." At this point, Silverstone admits the dating app has already been very helpful, since organically meeting someone can be rather difficult -- especially if you are a very famous actress.
"I just think it’s a great way for people to meet," Alicia explained.
She continued, "You know, I think that it’s really nice that we have friends that can connect us. You can be set up by friends, you can be at a party and tell people, ‘Hey, do you know anyone?’ You can do things like that. I have an experience where I’ll go to an in-person event and no one’s really engaged. They’re sort of in their phones, and it’s a bit discouraging.”
Alicia Silverstone: No Drinking On The First Date!
In the end, the actress believes it is just a good way for people to meet. "Sometimes you do meet people out in the real world, and I certainly have, and it’s been wonderful, but I think that it’s just a really nice way for people to meet," she says.
The best part, the 'Clueless' star doesn't drink on the first few dates -- after admitting that two glasses of wine will often lead to "sexy time," so she stays away from the booze. "That’s why I don’t drink on dates. And if you don’t like them suddenly you like them because you’re drinking!” she admitted. Adding, “New rules: No alcohol until I already know I like you.”
Alicia isn't the first A-lister to try their hand in the online dating world -- except most famous Hollywood stars sign up for the uber-exclusive dating app, Raya. But, we are guessing jumping onto Bumble gets you a little more interaction with people in the real world.
