Teen movies Clueless, Mean Girls and Pretty In Pink are set to hit the video game market.

Fans of Alicia Silverstone, Lindsay Lohan and Molly Ringwald will get the chance to become the actresses' characters onscreen, thanks to the games, which are being created by Hollywood studio Paramount.

Paramount bosses handpicked the titles to kick-off the studio's collaboration with gaming firm Legacy Interactive, reports Daily Variety.

The three films were chosen because of their appeal to female audiences. Paramount will roll out the trio - which will be low-cost 'casual video games' - before moving on to more expensive projects next year.

ABC Family is rebranding itself with a vengeance, folks. "A new kind of family," promises the ad campaign. How's the target demo going to feel about an original series with a parental discretion advisory up front? A show on a family network that the family shouldn't watch -- it's like a televised Klein bottle. The Secret Life Of An American Teenager promises an up-to-date angle on fictional adolescence. But there's little on display in the first episode that wasn't done more convincingly -- and more entertainingly -- in Pretty In Pink. It's unfortunate that Molly Ringwald herself is around to remind us of the unflattering comparison. She plays Amy's mom, and Amy's just found out that her unsatisfying one-night-stand at band camp with the drummer has left her pregnant. Amy and the rest of her freshman class are forced to...

Molly Ringwald has urged John Hughes to make a sequel to her '80s teen classic Sixteen Candles. In an interview with AOL Television, the actress admitted that it would be difficult to persuade Hughes, who has not directed a film since 1991's Curly Sue, to helm a follow-up. "It was something that I definitely wanted to do but John Hughes wasn't interested, and I didn't feel comfortable doing it without his involvement," she said. "If we can (more)

Eighties Brat Pack star Molly Ringwald is begging filmmaker John Hughes to make a sequel of 1984 teen movie Sixteen Candles.

Ringwald made her name in the adolescent romantic comedy, the first of a string of collaborations with Hughes.

And 24 years later, the now 40-year-old is campaigning for a follow-up, after Hughes vetoed original plans for a sequel.

Ringwald tells AOL Television, "It was something that I definitely wanted to do, but John Hughes wasn't interested, and I didn't feel comfortable doing it without his involvement.

"If we can get John to agree, I think it would be great. I think there are definitely a lot of people who would love to see it, and I would love to do it.

"I think that Sixteen Candles lends itself to (a sequel). It was such a Cinderella story. And I was interested to see what happened to this girl."

Actress Molly Ringwald agreed to play the worried mum of an expectant teen in a new TV drama to remind America that unplanned pregnancies are still a huge problem.

The flame-haired star played a teenage mum-to-be in 1988 film For Keeps and, now 40, she's tackling the subject matter again in The Secret Life of The American Teenager.

She hopes the new project will prompt young girls and their mothers to communicate with each other better - so a few unplanned pregnancies can be avoided.

She explains, "Not all that much has changed. If you look at the movies I did... I played a teen mom. There were drugs in (1985 film) The Breakfast Club. There's all that insecurity... All the same issues are still there. It's all about communication."
