Throughout the past week, Vulture has been taking a close look at iconic pop-culture films/TV shows/etc via their micro oral histories series.

Best one so far? Gathering Amy Heckerling (writer-director), Breckin Meyer (Travis Birkenstock), Alicia Silverstone (Cher Horowitz), Jeremy Sisto (Elton), Donald Faison (Murray Duvall) and…wait for it…Coolio (rapper whose “Rolling with the homies” tune set the scene for Tai and Elton’s duet) to discuss the oral history of the Clueless party scene.

Cher in the red dress, Tai googly-eyed over Elton, Murray getting his head shaved; there’s just too many awesome parts of this scene/movie, entirely.

Some highlights, including lots of love for the late, great Brittany Murphy:

Silverstone: I love the suck and blow thing — am I saying that right? I love that, when Jeremy gets in there and tries to snag a kiss. I just love it. [laughs] I definitely hadn’t heard of [the game before the movie]. I’ve never heard of it again since then.

Silverstone: I love when Brittany Murphy does her little “rolling with the homies” [hand gesture]. It’s so sweet. She was so special for that role and just adorable and lovely and brilliant. It’s so weird to think she’s not around anymore. It seems very abstract. [Murphy died in 2009.]

Faison: She had that spark, you know what I mean? I honestly believe that’s why everybody remembers the song because one, she’s so cute when she sings it. Two, you didn’t expect that voice to come out of that girl when she sang. So when she does that line, it’s like, “Holy cow, she can sing?”

If you never tire of reading about your favorite vegan celebs (or vegan-cheating ones), then we have great news for you. All you plant-eating Jews who dreamed their favorite ‘90s sitcom star-turned-Ph.D. would write a cookbook, your wish has come true! (Ok, maybe that’s just me.)

That’s right, Mayim Bialik announced yesterday that she’s currently working on a family-friendly vegan cookbook with nutritionist Dr. Jay Gordon to be released next fall. (For a taste, check out her mini potato kugel recipe.) A regular contributor to Kveller and contributing editor at Tablet, (in 2009 Bialik wrote about how her Orthodox Jewish beliefs changed her style,) she decided to become a vegan after reading (yet another vegan-friendly Jewish celeb) Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals.

While you may be familiar with her parenting advice (breastfeeding three-year-old anyone?) from the book she published this past spring, this is Bialik’s first cookbook, so we thought we’d help her scope out her competition.

1. The other Jewish teen celebrity-turned-mother-turned-vegan-turned-cookbook-author: Alicia Silverstone

Silverstone “freakin’ loved gefilte fish,” but in the past few years has established herself as one of the most outspoken (and extreme) of vegan celebs. Bialik may breastfeed her 3-year-old, but does she pre-chew her son’s food? With her own vegan lifestyle blog, The Kind Life, and her vegan guidebook/cookbook which came out in 2009, Silverstone may be a tough act to follow in terms of exposure, but the jury is still out when it comes to the actual recipes.

2. The Oprah- and Ellen-approved famous Israeli chef: Tal Ronnen

Famous for his food, not his acting, Ronnen was chosen by both daytime TV queens to teach their staffs about veganism. In 2008, he helped Oprah’s crew survive a 21-day cleanse and in 2010 taught Ellen how to make meatless stew (he also catered her wedding to Portia de Rossi). His cookbook The Conscious Cook is the best kind of food porn. Bialik might get more attention, but it’ll be tough to beat Ronnen’s drool-inducing recipes.

3. One-half of the Post Punk duo behind the Vegan Bible: Isa Chandra Moskowitz

OK, outside of the vegan universe she may not be as famous, but anyone who’s ever cooked vegan has read her blog or owns at least one of her cookbooks, especially the Vegan Bible, aka Veganomicon. (Along with Terry Hope Romero, she co-hosted a vegan cooking show, The Post Punk Kitchen, from 2003-05 on community access television in Manhattan and Brooklyn.) Though she’s not religious, Moskowitz’s recipes are filled with Jewish inspiration (they include everything from latkes to borscht) and are much more approachable than Ronnen’s (re: simpler) for the everyday vegan cook, making her Bialik’s stiffest competition.

The Coveteur, a website that gives voyeuristic fashionistas glimpses into the closets of their favorite style icons, went where we’ve all been dying to go since Clueless came out 17 years ago: Cher Horowitz’s closet.

The hyper-matching, meticulously accessorized high school student had a closet for the ages. Motorized racks that recalled clothing when her totally 90s computer program selected outfits? Clothing and shoes arranged, and displayed, by color? There was nothing that closet couldn’t do.

The Clueless-inspired Coveteur feature also lets you ‘Shop the Look’ for different scenes from the movie, but come on, there’s no beating Cher. The girl single-handedly drove up the value of Polaroid stock after declaring that she didn’t trust mirrors.

Happy 17th birthday, Clueless! What she said:

#Clueless turns 17 today. So she’s still a virgin who can’t drive.
