Navel piercings were already rapidly growing in popularity at the time of the video because of famous artists such as Gwen Stefani


* TheRedStapler:[[invoked]] Her appearance in the Aerosmith video for "Cryin'" - in which she gets her navel pierced (which she did for real) - helped popularize that type of piercing in the 90s.

* GodNeverSaidThat:[[invoked]] A journalist once quoted her as saying "chocolate is better than sex". She later set the record straight that she never said it.
--> "I was interviewed when I was 17 and I didn't actually say that. It was the worst piece of journalism that I've ever been involved with."
* HollywoodHypeMachine: One of the most notable examples in the 90s. She became a TeenIdol thanks to ''Film/{{Clueless}}'' and three Aerosmith videos, and got her own production company and high profile roles like ''Film/BatmanAndRobin''. It didn't really take, and she took time away from the spotlight to focus on indie films and theatre.
* ItsPronouncedTroPay: She's said that people mispronounce her name as 'a-lee-sha' when it's 'a-lee-see-ah''.
* MagnumOpusDissonance:[[invoked]] ''Theatre/LovesLaboursLost'' is actually her favourite role.
--> "I think - in Box Office terms - barely one person saw it. But I still think it's the greatest movie and I don't care if anybody doesn't like it. I saw it in seven different countries and the audience would leave the theatre dancing. I think that's a pretty incredible thing."



* OldShame:[[invoked]] ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', which she viewed as an exercise in basically doing actions as opposed to creating a character - not to mention the suit was uncomfortable to move in, and she was having burnout from being in the public eye so young. She did however say good things about working with George Clooney and Michael Gough. She also said she would "do it all over again".



* TheRedStapler:[[invoked]] Her appearance in the Aerosmith video for "Crazy" - in which she gets her navel pierced (which she did for real) - helped popularize that type of piercing in the 90s.
* StarDerailingRole:[[invoked]] A combination of ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' and ''Excess Baggage'' dented a lot of the goodwill she'd built up from ''Clueless''. She did however choose to spend the 2000s focusing on smaller indie films and theatre. She did still show up in some big roles - notably ''WesternAnimation/{{Braceface}}'' and ''Film/ScoobyDooMonstersUnleashed'' - but the poor critical reception of ''Film/BeautyShop'', her attempted comeback in ''Film/{{Stormbreaker}}'' becoming a StillbornFranchise and several cancelled pilots didn't help.
* ThrowItIn:[[invoked]] Cher mispronouncing "Haitians" in ''Clueless'' was how Alicia actually thought the word was pronounced. Amy Heckerling realised how funnier it was and told the other crew members not to correct her until the scene was done.
* WagTheDirector:[[invoked]] She refuses to do nudity and so uses body doubles for those scenes. When she agreed to do a theatre version of ''Film/TheGraduate'', it was under the condition she wear underwear for the famous nude scene.
* WeightWoe: She was attacked by journalists for gaining weight in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' that allegedly meant her costumes had to be altered. To his credit, Joel Schumacher fired back at them for focusing so much on a young woman's weight. Some of this was caused by a mean-spirited storyboard artist who drew a joke picture of Alicia struggling to fit into the costume, and the drawing ended up getting leaked.



** Her Batgirl costume was originally designed to cover her whole head, and some toys were even designed with this in mind. They decided instead to let her hair flow freely.



** Auditioned for ''Film/{{Scream 3}}''.
