Elizabeth Berkeley, who used to star on Saved By the Bell and is perhaps best-known for her role in ShowGirls, has launched a website called "Ask Elizabeth". It's for pre-teen and teen-age girls. And it's the cheesiest goddamn thing I've seen a long time. There are pink clouds, fairies, hearts, glitter, and Hello Kitty everywhere. I guess I'm just not that much of a girlie-girl.The point of the website is well-intentioned. She wants to communicate with impressionable adolescent girls about body image and socializing. She already does so in school functions and her new website is an extension of that. One of the links for "Expert Advice" has a "Coming Soon" promise of video tutorials and columns from doctors, makeup artists, professional trainers, hairdressers, etc. who are all female.

I can't believe you didn't make a "I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so *scared*" reference.....It's so fitting!

I'm making no judgements, I certainly couldn't care less, but it reminds me of the quote by Jimmy James on NewsRadio: "That sweet girl from Saved By The Bell... did you know she did a dirty movie?"

That's not bad, but I prefer Candace Cameron Bure's (DJ Tanner from Full House) website, which includes an "Are you a good person?" test:

I had no idea that I was guilty of breaking all ten commandments (even murder, somehow), but I have the feeling many of you, based on this test, will be joining me in hell.
