Lindsay Lohan Wants to Do a Mean Girls Sequel and That's Honestly So Fetch


You’re not alone, Mean Girls fans (or should we say Plastics?) Lindsay Lohan has also been waiting patiently for Mean Girls 2.

Earlier this week, fresh off her hosting duties for Australia’s The Masked Singer, Lohan sat down for an interview on David Spade’s talk show, Lights Out with David Spade. It was there that she brought fans everywhere a little bit of joy by telling Spade she’s absolutely down to star in a Mean Girls sequel.

“I think I was hanging onto [Mean Girls] for a really long idea,” Lohan told Spade on April 14. “I wanted to come back with a Mean Girls 2 with the same cast, work with Tina [Fey], and the whole crew again, and [director] Mark Waters. That was really what I wanted; I was excited to do that. But that’s all in their hands, really.”

We’re sure we don’t have to explain this to you, but we’ll take any opportunity to rave about Mean Girls: Since its debut in 2004, Mean Girls has become an early-aughts classic. Not only did it gross $129 million at the box office, but it also spawned a hit Broadway musical. There’s practically an entire Ariana Grande music video devoted to the movie and October 3rd has become, like, an actual holiday at this point.

However, while Lohan’s enthusiasm is exciting for fans, it’s important to note that this isn’t the first time a sequel has come up only to be dismissed by the film’s creators. No response has been made yet, but back in 2018, Tina Fey, who wrote the movie, told Entertainment Tonight that a sequel with the same cast is unlikely as it would cost far too much now that the characters are all major stars. “Quotes are all too high now,” she joked.

There is one other glimmer of hope, though. Fey has announced her plans to adapt the Broadway musical version of Mean Girls to the big screen. It will not act as a sequel, but rather a music-filled retelling. Honestly, we’ll take what we can get.

Still, isn’t quarantine the perfect time for Fey and Lohan to come together over Zoom and start coming up with a plan for that sequel? Maybe they can even get Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried on the call. Just a suggestion.

Coronavirus: Everything That's Been Canceled or Postponed Because of COVID-19


Whether or not you know someone who has tested positive for the coronavirus strain COVID-19, there’s no denying the impact the pandemic is having all over the world. Still, many Americans are wondering exactly how many precautions to take.

Many organizations, music festivals, and awards shows have either been canceled or postponed due to coronavirus concerns. The same goes for movie premieres, as well as production schedules for TV and film. Below, a list of all the major pop-culture entities that have been affected by coronavirus.

A Ton of Concerts

My Chemical Romance, Cher, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, Ciara, BTS, Avril Lavigne, Pentatonix, Green Day, and more have begun canceling shows and rescheduling tours. “I AM SO SORRY, BUT YOUR HEALTH IS PARAMOUNT,” Cher tweeted. “CONCERTS R AMAZING FUN, BUT NOTHING IS WORTH YOUR HEALTH.”

If you have tickets to any upcoming shows by performers not mentioned here, we recommend checking the artists’ Twitter and contacting the venue to confirm they’re still happening.

Coachella and Stagecoach

“At the direction of the County of Riverside and local health authorities, we must sadly confirm the rescheduling of Coachella and Stagecoach due to COVID-19 concerns,” reads a statement from Goldenvoice, the production company that runs both festivals. “While this decision comes at a time of universal uncertainty, we take the safety and health of our guests, staff, and community very seriously. We urge everyone to follow the guidelines and protocols put forth by public health officials.” Coachella will now happen in October.

Shrill Season 2 Review: Weight Is Barely a Topic—and That's a Good Thing


Coincidence is a good word to describe the dynamic between narrative and body type in Shrill‘s second season. Annie’s weight is only really alluded to twice, and both times the storylines are nuanced. In one, Annie takes her boyfriend, Ryan (Luka Jones), to meet her parents for the first time; instead of the night centering on that, though, it becomes about her mom’s obsession with food. Annie tries to steer the conversation toward other topics, but her mom keeps on—which, in turn, makes Annie second-guess all the self-confidence she’s built.

“I think that is how a lot of fat people experience the world in a lot of ways,” Bryant says. “Where someone else’s experience of food or their own body or their own clothes comes to reflect on you in some way.”

She cites a wedding toast she once heard as an example: “In the toast they were saying, ‘Oh, this night we felt so thin and that was so good!’ I remember feeling like they were saying, in their minds, the best night of their life was the night they looked nothing like me.”

Bryant’s real-life anecdote, in a nutshell, reveals the main issue in Shrill‘s next chapter: How do fat people who love their bodies go about navigating a world that constantly tells them they’re wrong? “I think that is part of what we were trying to circle around [in season two],” Bryant says. “Annie feels better about herself, but everyone around her is still stuck in that dark mentality that she was in at the beginning of season one.”

Shrill isn’t presenting an idealized world. It doesn’t gloss over the fact that living life as a fat person can be difficult, regardless of self-confidence. The season, in subtle ways, explores the push and pull of being body-positive in a culture that actively works against plus-size women (and men).

The Bachelorette Season 15, Episode 13 Recap: Now That's an Ending


When Jed arrives at the rose ceremony, he comes with his guitar in hand. Reader, I swear I screamed, “NO HE DID NOT” at the sight. “Talking’s hard sometimes for me,” he tells Hannah, before launching into a song with lyrics such as “we always knew it’s me and you” and “baby, time stands still for us.” Hannah loves it.

“I’ve always prayed for my future husband,” she says. She’s questioned why some relationships turned out the way they did, but now she knows it was all to lead her to Jed. “I have lived 25 years of my life without you,” he says, “and I don’t want to go another day without you in my life.” He gets down on one knee, she says yes.

“We did it!” Hannah cheers. “That’s awesome,” Jed mumbles.

Of course, that’s not the end of the story. When we return from a commercial break, we’re treated to a few behind-the-scenes home videos of Hannah and Jed together after the proposal. “I thought I was getting someone sweet and honest,” Hannah says. “And that’s not the case.” The day after the proposal, she reveals, Jed admitted that he had been “hanging out” with someone the week before he left for the show. He claimed he had broken it off, but they were never boyfriend and girlfriend. Hannah was annoyed, but she thought it was something they could work through. And then that People article came out.

“I love the person I got engaged to,” Hannah says. “I don’t know how I feel about this person.”

And so, the Bachelorette producers have arranged for the two to meet up in Los Angeles so she can confront him about it. Right away, Hannah asks what really happened. Jed’s version of events is this: He was hanging out with this woman, they hooked up a few times, and then went on a weekend getaway together because he “got a cabin for free.” They stopped by his parents’ home on the way back from the trip, but only because they lived near the cabin. He never “put a label” on their relationship or called her his girlfriend—and it’s clear he thinks that absolves him. Oh, and he was sleeping with other women during this time.

It gets worse: This woman threw Jed a whole-ass surprise birthday party that involved all of his friends and family, as well as a trip to the Bahamas (from her parents!) as a gift. “And you don’t call that dating?” Hannah asks, incredulous.

According to Jed, he told her he was recruited for The Bachelorette and was thrown off that she would still want to be with somebody who was considering going on a dating reality show. Hannah presses him, and he admits that, OK, he might have told her he was only doing it as “a music thing.” Plus, he says, he never thought he’d actually like the Bachelorette.

Vanderpump Rules' Stassi, Katie, and Kristen Made a Rosé That's as Easy as 'Drinking Water'


“I don’t know if people know or realize that we—Katie, Stassi, and I—had full creative control,” Kristen says. “Not only over using the wine and the wine’s taste, but the actual label. We created that completely from scratch on our own.”

“I think people are often very surprised by how good it is,” Katie adds. “And that was very important to us because we don’t drink shitty wine.”

“Well, we used to,” Stassi says.

So considering this wine is meant to be enjoyed at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I wanted Katie, Kristen, and Stassi to tell me their tips and tricks for all-day drinking—and the next day hangover. See their advice, below.

Plan the right environment.

A theme is always a good idea for a summer party, Kristen advises, but make sure you schedule an end time for the event. “I think what’s really important is that you have a cutoff time, if you’re having people over, for your guests to leave so you can unwind and drink wine alone with your TV,” Kristen explains. “That’s really important.”

She suggests wine pong as an activity, though Katie and Stassi aren’t big on drinking games with their rosé. “I just need to enjoy my wine,” Stassi says. “Yeah,” Katie adds, “I guess my only game would be, like, drink this glass of wine before the ice melts.”

Don’t stray from the rosé—and eat lots of carbs.

But if this wine is meant to be consumed all day long, how does you keep from going too hard too soon? “Stick to the same thing,” Stassi says. “If you’re gonna commit to day drinking it’s best to drink the same thing, [so we wanted] a rosé that’s really easy that people aren’t going to get sick of.”

“Also, you don’t have to be ashamed of adding a little club soda to make a little spritzer,” Katie says. Adds Kristen, “We’re not against icing your wine either!”

The women also advise adding water and food into the equation, especially “carbs” or their favorite, Taco Bell. (Speaking of which, they recommend pairing Potion Two with a Doritos Loco Taco, Chalupa Supreme, or “anything with the nacho cheese.”)

Maybeee don’t drink more than two and a half bottles.

The three famously have alter egos—The Dark Passenger, Crazy Kristen, and Tequila Katie—that emerge after one too many drinks. They’re the kind of creatures you might buy a crystal to ward yourself against: They throw their phone on the ground and cry because their boyfriend won’t come to bed. They fall dramatically in the middle of a hotel lobby. They send rage texts from an airline’s economy seat.

When I ask how much rosé it’d take to bring these … powerful beings to the forefront, the women agree it’s probably around two and a half bottles. “It depends on if you’re in the sun all day, because if you are, the Dark Passenger, Tequila Katie, and Crazy Kristen come out a lot quicker with a minimal amount of alcohol,” Stassi says.

“I would say it’s like waking up in the morning in a really great mood, and you’re like, ‘Yeah, let’s get this!’ You know? You have a little breakfast, and you’re like I’m gonna have a little beverage cocktail. Then you’re going to hang out by the pool all day with your friends and drink. And then around, like, 6:00 p.m. that’s when things get dark,” Katie says.

Adds Kristen, “I don’t blame that on alcohol, I blame that on dehydration. What I like about our wine is that it doesn’t bring out crazy Kristen.”

Whitney Port Shared an Emotional Video About Mom-Bullying That's Got Many Women Talking


In a new video posted to her YouTube page, Whitney Port reveals she was mom-bullied recently at an event—and it’s sparked an entire discussion online.

“I went to an event this morning. It was a panel discussion for lots of moms. I went in with a good attitude, walked out feeling a little bit insecure,” Port says in the video. “There were a lot of moms that I knew. I approached two specifically. We have a lot of friends in common and it was the right thing of me to go up to them and say, ‘Hi.’ And I got pretty much the same reaction from both of them, which was: ‘I really can’t be bothered talking with you right now,’ and they were just trying to back out of the conversation as quickly as they possibly could.”

Port was understandably upset by this experience. “It hurts to feel like someone doesn’t want to hang out with you, or have a conversation with you, or get to know you,” she says. “I take it personally.”

It’s unclear why these women were unkind to Port, though there’s no excuse for their behavior. “It’s so easy to be nice to people,” Port says midway through her video, holding back tears. The Hills alum says she’s always had insecurities about feeling “uncool or awkward,” and situations like this don’t help: “Every little encounter like this where I can physically feel them inching away from me just chips away at my self esteem.”

Watch Whitney Port‘s video for yourself, below.

Women are flooding Port’s social media channels with support and their own stories about mom-bullying.

“Couldn’t relate to anything more,” one woman wrote. “It’s been since grade school that I always felt I wasn’t cool enough and couldn’t fit in. Recently after many years, I met some awesome moms, and I’m so grateful. It’s been years of rude moms and just rude women in general.”

“Mom bullies are the worst. You just need to find your tribe. It took me 10 years of being a mom to say I finally found mine! You got this girl,” posted another mom.

“I’ve felt [this] so many since having kids and being in so many awkward mom group situations,” wrote a third. “I definitely put too much emphasis on everyone liking me and understanding me.”

Port’s Instagram post about her video has even more incredible comments—go check them out.
