Fox News has hired Clueless actress Stacey Dash as a paid contributor. The actress, who is best known for her role as Dionne in the 1995 comedy, will offer "cultural analysis and commentary" across its daytime and primetime shows.

"Stacey is an engaging conversationalist whose distinctive viewpoints among her Hollywood peers have spawned national debates — we're pleased to have her join Fox News," said Bill Shine, the network's vice president of news. Dash has been a right-wing favorite since her endorsement of former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in 2012, and she has regularly appeared as a guest on the network.
