'Clueless' Star Stacey Dash has signed with Fox News as a contributor.

Executive Vice President of Programming of FOX News, Bill Shine said, "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."

According to a press release, Dash will "offer cultural analysis and commentary across various daytime and primetime programs."

Dash is no stranger to politics, having already turned in several appearances at FOX News.

Back in 2012, the 47-year-old actress, best known for the 1995 movie "Clueless," endorsed then-Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Twitter and sparked some controversy and backlash.

Dash tweeted out a simple note endorsing Romney as "only choice for your future." She took a beating for her Republican endorsement. "I woke up the next morning and my life changed. I had death threats, people calling me Uncle Tom, telling me I didn't like black people," said Dash (who is black) during an appearance last month on "Fox & Friends."

Since the election, Dash has continued to turn to social media to offer her opinion on pop culture, national news and politics.

When "Fox & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade, for instance, asked Dash whether her support for Romney had affected her career, Dash said, "It hasn't affected my career. I think that's wrong as well. Hollywood is about capitalism. And if you make movies and the movies make money, they're going to make the movies."

Dash then added, "If Obamacare were a movie, they would not make a sequel."

Last week, Dash was a guest on the noontime show "Outnumbered," where she said on-air that the federal government "should not be a part of everything...I think that you should govern where you're closest to home so that you can tailor your governing to the people's needs. But for a big federal government to just throw a big blanket over an entire country and say 'OK, we're all a bunch of babies and now we're all nice and warm and cozy' is a bit ridiculous."
