Lohan Says She ‘Hopes’ to Be a Cool Mom to Son Luai at Mean Girls Premiere

09 January 2024

Lindsay Lohan is thriving in her cool mom era.

The OG Cady Heron appeared at the Mean Girls premiere in New York City on Monday, where the 37-year-old was asked if she identifies as a “cool mom” after welcoming son Luai over the summer.

“I hope so,” Lohan tells PEOPLE exclusively with a laugh.

In June, Lohan gave some insight into what her plans for her baby are in a rare interview.

“I guess you would say it happened organically,” Lohan told Allure of how she ended up in the United Arab Emirates. “Dubai gives me that space to have my own vision of what I need to do next.”

Lohan says even though it’s a bustling city, her life is more peaceful there because she doesn’t have to deal with the same public attention and pressure she did in America. In Dubai, she can provide a more steady schedule and peace for her son.

“Sometimes I call it The Truman Show, because it’s the same thing every day,” she said. “But I love it. I really love structure, because I didn’t think I had that when I was young.”

Last year, Dina Lohan opened up to PEOPLE about being thrilled to watch her daughter settle into her new role as a mom.

“To watch my oldest daughter with her beautiful son is a memory engraved in my heart forever,” Dina told PEOPLE. “Lindsay took to her best role ever so naturally…she was always meant to be a mother.”

“God has truly blessed us all with lil Luai,” Dina adds of Lindsay’s baby boy. “As I held Luai, tears of happiness rolled down my cheeks. Badar [Shammas] took to the role of daddy like a pro as well. They are a perfect team.”

The new Mean Girls film opens in theaters on Jan. 12.

PHOTOS OF THE EVENT WILL BE POSTED SOMETIME TOMORROW AFTER EVERYTHING IS HOPEFULLY RELEASED.

Mean Girls Reunion! Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert Spotted Filming Secret Project

08 October 2023

No, it’s not Oct. 3, but that didn’t stop The Plastics from getting together.

Almost two decades after the cult classic teen comedy was released, several of the original Mean Girls cast members had a mini reunion for a special secret commercial project in Los Angeles Friday. Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert were spotted with camera crews on a football field in Los Angeles.

In the 2004 film, Lohan, 37, portrayed Cady Heron, a student who had just moved from Africa and was now an outcast at her high school. It was there she was introduced to the seriousness of the social hierarchy as she met teen queen bees Karen Smith (Seyfried), Gretchen Wieners (Chabert), and their leader Regina George (Rachel McAdams) — the trio fiercely known as The Plastics. McAdams, 44, was not present for the shoot. The ladies were all smiles and Seyfried, 37, and Chabert, 41, wore what any self-respecting Plastic would wear on a Wednesday — pink!

The fictional Toaster Strudel heiress was seen driving a silver convertible, much like the one from the famous “Get in loser — we’re going shopping” scene from the film. In another photo, Seyfried was photographed holding a microphone while wearing a blazer — possibly a nod to her part in Mean Girls where she did a school weather report letting her student body know there was “a 30 percent chance it’s already raining” as it was, indeed, already raining.

While on set, Lohan, dressed in all black, carried a zipped pouch that read “Plastics Club Member.” Details for the reunion are under wraps, but the movie is celebrating a huge milestone next year. Twenty years after the original film hit theaters, the Mean Girls Musical Movie is debuting.

Tina Fey, who wrote both the original film and Broadway musical, announced the upcoming project in January 2020. The Saturday Night Live alum, 53, also starred in the 2004 comedy as Ms. Norbury, a lovable teacher who at one point is accused of being a “drug pusher.”

The new film will see Fey reprise her role, alongside Tim Meadows, who returns as Principal Duvall. In February, Seyfried told Entertainment Tonight that she and her former costars are “100 percent into” making a cameo. “It’s been a long legacy for Mean Girls, and I think we all kinda just need to hang,” she said. However, it is unknown if they really are involved in the musical, which stars Angourie Rice, Reneé Rapp, Auliʻi Cravalho, Jaquel Spivey and Bebe Wood.

On Tuesday, Paramount Pictures celebrated Oct. 3 by sharing the entire Mean Girls movie in mini clips on TikTok. “Get in, loser. We’re watching the full #MeanGirls movie,” the first of 23 uploads was captioned. The date is a reference to a conversation between Lohan’s character and her crush Aaron Samuels. In the scene, Heron can’t help but gush when the high school star athlete asks her what day it is during math class.

For fans interested in watching the film in its entirety, it can be found on YouTube with ads and on Paramount+. The classic is also available for purchase on Amazon and iTunes.

Jamie Lee Curtis says WGA strike stalling Freaky Friday sequel until ‘writers get paid correctly’

10 July 2023

“There’s no question,” that Freaky Friday 2 will happen with Lindsay Lohan, Curtis tells EW, but adds that “stories require writers.”

Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan won’t switch bodies in Disney’s Freaky Friday sequel until studios switch up their payment methods to end the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike, according to the Oscar-winning actress.

“Oh, it’ll happen. For sure. Oh, for sure. There’s no question,” Curtis tells EW of the long-awaited Freaky Friday 2 in an interview for her upcoming movie Haunted Mansion, which is based on the beloved Disney parks attractions at resorts around the world.

When asked if she has an idea for where fans might see mother-daughter duo Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) Coleman’s story pick up over two decades after they first swapped bodies in the 2003 comedy hit, the Everything Everywhere All at One star cited the strike as an obstacle in the project’s progression.

“Yes, except stories require writers, and right now there are no writers because they’re all fighting for their lives, for their creative lives, for their emotional lives, and for their financial lives,” she explains. “We’re in the middle of a contract dispute. And so, until those writers get paid correctly and protected by the producers that make billions off of them, we will not be able to tell you any more about the Freaky Friday sequel, except that it is happening.”

Curtis told the New York Times in May that her 2022 press tour for Halloween Ends inspired her to explore making a continuation of Freaky Friday with Lohan. “As I went around the world with Halloween Ends, people wanted to know if there was going to be another Freaky Friday,” she said. “Something really touched a chord. When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, ‘It feels like there’s a movie to be made.'”

Representatives at Disney did not respond to EW’s request for comment. Curtis’ fellow Haunted Mansion star, Tiffany Haddish, also tells EW that work on a highly anticipated Girls Trip sequel has also hit a roadblock amid the strike. “That kind of puts a damper on things,” she explains. “I don’t know.”

The pair appears as a comedic duo in Haunted Mansion, with Curtis portraying Madame Leota, the iconic crystal ball-dwelling medium from the titular ride, while Haddish plays a New Orleans psychic enlisted alongside an inventor (LaKeith Stanfield) working on a camera lens that can see spirits and several other paranormal experts (Danny DeVito, Owen Wilson) to help a young boy (Chase W. Dillon) and his single mother (Rosario Dawson) rid their new home of 999 ghosts — including Jared Leto’s menacing Hat Box Ghost.

Curtis and Haddish can be seen together in Justin Simien’s Haunted Mansion when it opens in theaters on July 28.

‘Freaky Friday’ Sequel Moving Ahead, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis Expected to Return

14 May 2023

Twenty years later, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are in talks to reunite for a sequel to the hit body-swap comedy “Freaky Friday.”

The sequel is in the works at Disney, with Lohan and Curtis expected to reprise their roles as mother-daughter duo Anna and Tess Coleman. Elyse Hollander, whose work has been featured on the Black List, is penning the script.

Based on Mary Rodgers’ 1972 novel of the same name, the story was adapted for the screen twice before the 2003 film — in 1976 starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster, and in 1995 with Shelley Long and Gaby Hoffman. But the Lohan-Curtis version found the most success, scoring over $160 million at the box office.

Rumors started circulating about a potential sequel in February, when Curtis posted a photo of her and Lohan on Instagram with the caption, “It’s Friday. I’m just sayin! Freaky fingers crossed!”

“It’s going to happen,” Curtis elaborated in an interview with Variety at the Producers Guild Awards on Feb. 26. “Without saying there’s anything officially happening, I’m looking at you in this moment and saying, ‘Of course it’s going to happen.’ It’s going to happen.”

The news was revealed in a New York Times interview with Lohan and Curtis celebrating the 20th anniversary of the 2003 film, directed by Mark Waters, which follows a mom and daughter who wake up one Friday morning to find they’ve swapped bodies.

“As I went around the world with ‘Halloween Ends,’ people wanted to know if there was going to be another ‘Freaky Friday,’” Curtis told the New York Times. “Something really touched a chord. When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, ‘It feels like there’s a movie to be made.’”

Lohan added, “Jamie and I are both open to that, so we’re leaving it in the hands that be. We would only make something that people would absolutely adore.”

Lohan recently celebrated her first anniversary with Shammas and shared a sweet photo on Instagram to commemorate it. “April 3, 2023, ❤️ 1 year today ❤️ Happy Anniversary ☺️,” she and Hammas are standing on a seaside cliff embracing one another.

Lohan didn’t share how far along her pregnancy she is, but her mom Dina Lohan was willing to share. Back in Marc,h, shortly after Lohan announced her pregnancy, Dina spoke with People magazine, bragged about her oldest daughter’s first child,d, and even shared that she is showing.

“Lindsay has always loved kids because I love kids, and my mother loves kids; I’m one of four. We have a big family, so she’s always wanted, children. And she’s so maternal. Isabelle, her niece, runs to her when she sees her.”

She says that Lohan has been trying for some time now. “It’s the right time for her, and Bader is an angel. Her husband is so sweet, and they’re just so happy. They’re just pleased and ready.”

Dina Lohan Says Pregnant Lindsay Is ‘Already Showing’ and ‘Ready’ to Become a First-Time Mom

17 March 2023

Dina Lohan is bursting with pride at her daughter Lindsay Lohan’s pregnancy news.

The mother of four gushed about Lindsay’s exciting next chapter to PEOPLE on Wednesday, the day after the actress, 36, announced that she and husband Bader Shammas are expecting their first baby together.

“I’m literally over the moon. I’m so happy, I can’t stop smiling,” says Dina, 60. “It’s incredible. We’re just so excited. It’s just such a beautiful thing for my child! And I love babies. Who doesn’t?”

“My oldest baby is having a baby,” added Dina. “It’s so crazy. I’m in disbelief a little bit sometimes because you’re like, ‘Well… it makes you older clearly!’ ”

This will be Dina’s second grandchild. Her son Michael Lohan Jr., 35, and his wife Nina Ginsberg share one child together, daughter Isabel Scarlet — born in June 2021.

According to Dina, Lindsay has long wanted to be a mom. “Lindsay has always loved kids because I love kids and my mother loves kids; I’m one of four,” Dina says. “We have a big family, so she’s always wanted children. And she’s so maternal. Isabelle, her niece just runs to her when she sees her.”

The timing, Dina says, is “perfect” for Lindsay and her husband. “She’s been trying and then it happened, that little stick came up positive,” explains Dina. “It’s the right time for her and Bader is an angel. Her husband is so sweet and they’re just so happy. They’re just really happy and ready.”

“He’s so happy,” Dina noted, of Shammas.

Sources have told PEOPLE that Lindsay is due this summer.

While Dina would not confirm a due date (“I cannot tell, I will be in trouble!”), she did tell PEOPLE her daughter is already showing.

Dina also stayed mum on whether Lindsay was having a boy or girl, but says she does know what the baby’s sex will be. “The nursery’s all white, so that gives you nothing,” Dina jokes.

Lindsay and Shammas, 36, live in Dubai, though Dina says she’s in constant communication with her daughter. “She’s like, ‘Mommy, what does this mean? I feel like this. What is this?’ ” Dina says. “We do that every day, every morning. ‘How are you feeling?’ ”

The two are also in a group chat alongside Dina’s daughter Aliana Lohan and sons Michael and Dakota Lohan. “They text every day, like 10 times a day,” Dina says. “It’s so funny. Two of them will be talking and then someone else will be talking. And I’m the mom, so I try not to get involved in whatever’s happening.”

As for the birth plan, Dina also didn’t reveal much but insists she’ll be by Lindsay’s side. “I will be there,” she tells PEOPLE. “Absolutely. I’ll be there for sure.”

Lindsay announced she’s expecting her first baby with a sweet post on Instagram Tuesday.

Alongside a photo of a white onesie reading “coming soon,” the Parent Trap star wrote, “We are blessed and excited! 🙏🤍👶🍼,” and tagged financier Shammas in the post.

Commenting on the post, Dina said she is “over the moon” at the news that her daughter is going to be a mom. “Filled with so much JOY and happiness ❤️❤️,” she wrote in the comments section.

Lindsay’s longtime pal Paris Hilton, who welcomed a baby boy named Phoenix Barron in January, was also among those sharing their well wishes. “Congratulations love! So happy for you 🥹 Welcome to the Mommy Club!🥰,” wrote Hilton, 42.

And many of Lindsay’s 12.5 million followers couldn’t help but reference the famous “I’m not like a regular mom, I’m a cool mom” quote from her 2004 hit teen comedy Mean Girls in the comments.

“You’ll definitely be a cool mom. Congrats 💜💜💜,” wrote one while another said, “That’s so fetch. She’s not a regular mom, she’s a ‘cool mom.’ “
