Lindsay Lohan (Mean Girls) and Kristin Chenoweth (Schmigadoon!) have been set to star in Our Little Secret, a new holiday film that Stephen Herek (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure) is directing for Netflix.

Pic is the second in Lohan’s two-picture creative partnership with the streamer, entered into in March 2022, on the heels of the forthcoming rom-com Irish Wish.

Additional cast set for it includes Ian Harding (Long Slow Exhale), Jon Rudnitsky (At Midnight), Chris Parnell (Senior Year), Tim Meadows (Mean Girls), Dan Bucatinsky (Scandal), Henry Czerny (Scream VI), Katie Baker (The Mosquito Coast), Ash Santos (Mayor of Kingstown), Jake Brennan (Palmer) and Brian Unger (Yellowstone).

Currently in production, the film written by Hailey DeDominicis centers on two resentful exes who are forced to spend Christmas under the same roof after discovering that their current partners are siblings. Mike Elliott and Lisa Gooding are producing, with Joseph P. Genier serving as executive producer.

Prior to the signing of her two-picture deal, Lohan was in business with Netflix on Falling for Christmas, a holiday rom-com also starring Chord Overstreet. Most recently, the actress was seen making a cameo in Paramount’s adaptation of the Mean Girls musical, before that starring in the British dark comedy series Sick Note, horror thriller Among the Shadows, and more.

Recent projects for Emmy and Tony Award winner Chenoweth include Apple TV+’s acclaimed musical comedy series Schmigadoon!, Nicholas Stoller’s gay rom-com Bros, and Ric Roman Waugh’s sports drama National Champions.

Lindsay Lohan was on the receiving end of a personal dig in the new “Mean Girls” movie that references one of the most infamous insults hurled her way … and yeah, she’s pissed.

Of course, we’re referring to Paris Hilton’s oil heir buddy, Brandon Davis, once calling her a “fire crotch” gal — a line that actually made its way into the rebooted flick … which LL apparently had no idea about — at least that’s the indication from her team’s response.

Lindsay’s rep told The Messenger … “Lindsay was very hurt and disappointed by the reference in the film.” The outlet also reports that Lindsay was surprised last week when she watched the movie for the first time at the premiere.

It’s pretty shocking that the line even made it into the film — y’know, considering Tina Fey wrote it … not to mention the fact that Lindsay herself cameos in the flick as well.

On its face, it seems she had no idea it was coming … meaning she either didn’t receive the full script, or didn’t peruse it. Ya gotta imagine that if she saw this ahead of time … she would’ve talked to Tina about it, because LiLo has famously spoken out about the dig.

The context of how it’s used in the new movie features none other than Megan Thee Stallion — who shows up as one of many people singing the praises of the new popular girl, Cady (once played by Lindsay), as they flee Regina George. MTS says “fire crotch is back.”

You’ll recall, the way it was originally used dates back to a TMZ video from back in 2006 … when Davis was being a bit of a “mean girl” himself in talking trash about LiLo at the time. Like we said, Lindsay’s been fairly vocal about how hurtful that was back then.

That’s why Tina’s decision to include it in the movie — even in jet — is shocking … and now even more so with LL speaking out like this. Tina gushed about working with Lindsay, so you know she loves her … perhaps this was just an innocent mistake or an oversight.

Lindsay Lohan was very pregnant during her cameo in the new Mean Girls movie, according to Reneé Rapp.

Rapp, 24, appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Sunday and was asked what it was like having Lohan – who welcomed a baby boy with her husband Bader Shammas in July – appear in the new musical adaptation.

“Yeah, I was so excited. I mean she’s the coolest obviously and it was also like such a blueprint,” Rapp, who plays Regina George in the Mean Girls musical, said. “She was also pregnant as hell at the time and so I remember like, I love babies, I’m ageist.”

The star went on to add, “So I was so excited that she was there because she’s Lindsay Lohan and she’s so cool and hot but also like, she was pregnant.”

Rapp’s role was originally taken on by Rachel McAdams in the 2004 film, which saw Lohan star as Cady Heron. For the 2024 version, Angourie Rice has stepped into Lohan’s shoes.

In an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE, Rice shared a similar positive sentiment about working with Lohan, saying that having her on the set “meant so much to me.”

“It is such a rare experience to really get in the head of a character and then meet someone who’s done the same thing,” said Rice, 23. “Just to have that shared experience, it means a lot.”

The star further highlighted, “But to know that Cady has been a part of so many actors’ lives and so many actors have delved into that character — she’s bigger than the actor in a way.”

“It means a lot that I get to share that with so many special performers, especially Lindsay,” Rice reflected.

The film’s directors, Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr., agreed to Variety that having Lohan on set was quite an experience.

“I don’t remember the exact moment, but I remember the feeling when I learned Lindsay was going to be a part of it. Everyone was so happy — there was a special energy that day,” Jayne noted to the publication.

Perez remembered the secrecy surrounding Lohan’s appearance, saying, “It was very NDA-heavy and only on a need-to-know basis. I think it had sprinkled to some of the cast. I actually do remember a couple people snuck in that day, now that I’m thinking of it.”

Mean Girls is currently in theaters.

Lindsay made a surprise appearance at the Mean Girls premiere and was there to support Tina Fey and the new edition of the Plastics including taking photos with the new Cady Heron, Angourie Rice. I’ve finally added over 900 MQ-HQ photos of Lindsay attending the Mean Girls premiere in New York on Monday. She looked absolutely flawless and amazing. Her post baby body is also banging! We can’t wait to see what is in store for her this year!

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.

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.
