Angourie Rice Reflects on a Unique Encounter with Lindsay Lohan in the New Mean Girls Musical (Exclusive)

Two decades later, Lindsay Lohan makes a surprise return to the Mean Girls universe! The 37-year-old actress, now a self-proclaimed "cool mom" in real life, graces the new musical adaptation of the 2004 comedy, reprising her iconic Cady Heron role.

 


Directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. and penned once again by Tina Fey, Lohan emerges as the moderator of the climactic math competition that Cady, this time portrayed by Angourie Rice, skillfully guides North Shore High to victory.

 

Rice, the 23-year-old Australian actress known for her roles in The Last Thing He Told Me and Mare of Easttown, shares why sharing the screen with Lohan was an invaluable experience for her.

 

"Getting into the head of a character is a rare experience, and meeting someone who has done the same thing is even rarer," expresses Rice. "Having that shared experience means a lot to me."

 

Acting, at times, can be isolating. Rice reflects, "You delve into the character's mindset, bid farewell to it, and it feels like you've abandoned it."

 

"But knowing that Cady has been a part of so many actors' lives, that she's transcended individual actors—she's become larger than any one performer," she adds. (Erika Henningsen originated the role on Broadway.)

 

"It's significant that I get to share this with Lindsay and other exceptional performers," Rice emphasizes.

 

Lohan, keeping her cameo under wraps, attended the New York City premiere on Jan. 8, alongside producer Lorne Michaels and Fey, who reprises her role as Ms. Norbury. (Tim Meadows also returns as Principal Duvall.)

 

In a series of Walmart Black Friday ads, Lohan reprised her role as Cady alongside legacy cast members Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert, envisioning where their characters ended up after the original film.

 

At the premiere, Daniel Franzese, who portrayed Damian alongside Lohan, expressed the original cast's eagerness for a proper movie sequel.

 

"You've got to tell the boss lady, Tina Fey, over there. I'm sure she's heard it a million times, but she's the gatekeeper, so we're all waiting," Franzese, 45, shared, adding that the original cast stays connected despite busy schedules.

 

Mean Girls is now playing in theaters. Don't miss this chance to experience the reunion and the magic of Cady's journey once again!

Unveiling the Connection Between Ultra-Processed Foods and the Risk of Mouth Cancer

Image
In the realm of health concerns, the impact of consuming ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has gained increasing attention. While previous research has linked these foods to cardiovascular diseases and inflammatory bowel issues, a recent study conducted by the University of Bristol reveals a new facet – a potential connection between a higher intake of UPFs and an elevated risk of developing cancers in the mouth, throat, and esophagus.   Ultra-processed foods encompass packaged baked goods, snacks, sugary cereals, and ready-to-eat or heat products. These items, often laden with added sugars and salt, lack essential nutrients. Examining data from 450,111 adults over a 14-year period, the study challenges the assumption that obesity, commonly associated with UPF consumption, is the sole culprit.   The findings indicate that a mere 10% increase in UPF consumption correlates with a 23% higher risk of head and neck cancer and a 24% higher risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Notab...
