Disney dropped the first trailer of Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis in "Freakier Friday" (on Friday, of course).
And the peek at the new comedy is "Freaky Friday" on steroids, with four body switches! That's twice as many as the 2003 original.
Curtis, 66, and Lohan, 38, reprise their mother-daughter roles as Tess and Anna Coleman, who endured a comical body switch in "Freaky Friday" (when Curtis was 44 and Lohan was a 16-year-old superstar).
Now, it's so much more "Freakier" with kids. Just to make sure you follow:
Lohan's Anna switches bodies with her daughter Harper (Julia Butters, 15, the actress who broke out in "Once Upon a Time in America").
Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis Hold hands on 'Freaky Friday 2' set
Curtis' Tess switches places with Anna's soon-to-be stepdaughter Lilly Davies (played by Sophia Hammons, 18, an American actress working an accent).
The realization of the switch leads Lilly, stuck inside her grandmother-in-law's body, to proclaim, "My face looks like a Birkin bag that's been left out in the sun to rot."
All sorts of comic mayhem ensues. Lessons will be learned, and Lohan will strap on an electric guitar again before it's all over (she sang "Ultimate" in the original).
Who's the stud on the motorcycle? Chad Michael Murray makes a 'sexy grand entrance'
Chad Michael Murray, who played Anna's boyfriend, Jake, makes a head-turning entrance in the trailer, pulling up on a motorcycle and flicking his hair out of his black helmet. But Anna has a new husband, played by Manny Jacinto ("Top Gun: Maverick").
Other returning cast members from the original film include Mark Harmon (who played Tess Coleman's fiance Ryan), Christina Vidal Mitchell (Maddie), Haley Hudson (Peg), Rosalind Chao (Pei-Pei), Lucille Soong (Pei-Pei's Mom) and Stephen Tobolowsky (Mr. Bates).

Fans Are Asking the Same Question After Caitlin Clark's Personal Admission
Fans Are Asking the Same Question After Caitlin Clark's Personal Admission originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark may be sidelined due to a quad injury, but that hasn't stopped her from making headlines. Advertisement Clark has been out for nearly two weeks now, although she is set to be re-evaluated this weekend. Her absence has been deeply felt by the Fever, who have only won once in the three games she has missed. The 23-year-old guard averaged 19.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per game for Indiana prior to her injury. While she's sidelined, though, Clark has been showing her support for the team by joining them at practices and sitting on the sidelines during games. She has also stayed largely active on social media, joking with her teammates, cheering them on and generally just having fun. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) takes photos of her teammates warming up before the game against the Washington Faith Morgan-Imagn Images On Friday, Clark caught the attention of many once again after the Fever featured her in a "Get To Know" post. Aside from revealing her favorite actor, animal, emoji and even condiment, she also mentioned her top movie choice. Advertisement Clark revealed that she loves the movie "Parent Trap," prompting many to comment and approve her pick. However, several others couldn't help but ask which specific "Parent Trap" movie she's referring to. After all, prior to the 1998 "Parent Trap" movie featuring Lindsay Lohan, there was another "The Parent Trap" movie from 1961 featuring Hayley Mills. The older version actually spawned a film series. "OG Parent Trap or the Lindsay Lohan one?" a fan wrote. Another one asked, "Wait, but which parent trap though? Lindsay Lohan?" A commenter added, "@caitlinclark22 - the original or the Lohan version?" Advertisement "Wait which parent trap??" a poster further stated. A social media user remarked, "@caitlinclark22 the old parent trap or newer version?" "Which parent trap? Hailey Mills or LL?" a sixth supporter inquired. It's unclear if Clark will ever answer the fans' questions, although she still has some time to engage with her followers while she nurses her injury.

What is a ‘pick-me girl'? Here's what you need to know
A 'pick-me girl' wants nothing more than to set herself apart from other women, even if that means embracing the male gaze and denouncing the parts of herself that are inherently associated with femininity. A sister to the 'cool girl' (remember that monologue from Gone Girl?) and the 'not like other girls' girl, a 'pick-me girl' will place value on activities, interests, and habits traditionally championed by straight, cisgender, heterosexual men — sometimes to their own detriment. The vibes are much more, 'Let's play video games and split a six-pack' and much less, 'Let's watch Love Is Blind, look up our astrological compatibility with our crushes, and place hexes on our exes'. You know, just girlie things. In a nutshell, subconsciously or intentionally, a 'pick-me girl's' hope is to garner attention from the men she knows by distancing herself from all other women and their 'cringe', feminine behaviours. Instead, they zero in on stereotypical masculine interests and takes, even if they don't actually believe or support them. This trope was popularised in early 2000s romcoms, where love interests single out young women who are uninterested or oblivious to their femininity, which makes her 'unlike anyone they've ever met', and therefore, more attractive. But it's also ever-present today in pop cultural depictions of girlhood. Take a show like Euphoria, where Sydney Sweeney's character Cassie is often dismissed as one-note, surface-level, and boy-obsessed. Think about Amanda Bynes' character in What A Girl Wants, Lindsay Lohan's performance in Freaky Friday, and Kat Stratford in 10 Things I Hate About You. I would never dream of insulting my go-to nostalgic classics, but these female protagonists all have something very important in common: They're 'cool girls', who are presented to the viewer as the antithesis of their girlier antagonists or foils. The term 'pick-me' first started on Twitter under the hashtag #TweetLikeAPickMe, which was used to mock women who fall under the 'guys' girl' category, especially those who consider themselves to be 'wifey' material. The phrase experienced a renaissance (pickmeissance?) among Gen Z in 2022, with the hashtag #PickMeGirl garnering 2.2 billion views on TikTok, and an infamous 2005 monologue by Grey's Anatomy's Meredith Grey inspiring a satirical trend on the app. While not all women who prefer to wear a jersey over a sundress fall under the 'pick-me girl' category, the concept comes from the idea that these women want to be chosen by the men they surround themselves with — badly. They, either consciously or subconsciously, adapt their personalities to appeal to the male gaze. She isn't just someone with traditionally masculine likes and dislikes — she's someone whose intentions are to centre men in her decision-making process. According to certified sex therapist Shadeen Francis, the male gaze refers to scenes and social settings that are specifically designed to cater exclusively to heterosexual men, usually for the purpose of sexual pleasure. Think: the way Bond women are written into the movie franchise as these hyper-sexual beings that function as little more than walking props. But Francis reminds us that the male gaze is more than just an interest in arousing men — and isn't limited to content created by men. 'It's a lens on the world that prioritises, centres, and makes ubiquitous a rigid and stereotyped perspective that men's pleasures and interests are paramount, often at the expense of the needs, wants, or even humanity of others,' Francis says. Although the impulse to behave this way can often be due to issues of low self-esteem caused systematically by the patriarchy, 'pick-me' girls can subconsciously contribute to this system instead of working to dismantle it. For example, this can look like criticising conventional femininity by calling it cringey or basic. Think: hating on the girlies who love Taylor Swift or Starbucks seasonal drinks (pumpkin spice is delicious, let the people like what they like!), or calling themselves 'guy's girls' because women are just 'too much drama'. In both scenarios, the pick-me girls may be seeking validation from men in order to feel accepted, rewarded, and desired, while ragging on other women. But you'd have an easier time getting Glastonbury tickets than finding an area of social life that hasn't been touched by patriarchy, a societal organisation system that places men — particularly heterosexual, cisgender men — at the top. 'If men were to abide by the rules of patriarchy, relationships rooted in kindness, trust, support, and mutual respect wouldn't be possible for heterosexual women,' Francis says. 'Women would be expected to participate in the relationships in whichever ways would please him.' By choosing to spend their time supporting belief structures that may not actually serve them, 'pick-me' girls may be unknowingly contributing to upholding patriarchy. Internalised misogyny — when women subconsciously project sexist ideas onto other women and themselves — can sometimes be difficult to spot in a patriarchal society. In fact, women can even project internalised misogyny while being aware of the male gaze, and one way this plays out today is by picking apart other women. For the 'pick-me girl', the internalised misogyny may materialise as a subconscious competitiveness. 'When a girl notices there are a plethora of other women for men to choose from, a painful and scary feeling can take root in the brain,' says sex and relationships therapist Tiffany Jones. 'To avoid future feelings of rejection, the mentality is born within the girl that if she demeans the concept of a typical woman, most men will pick her out of all the available ones to choose from.' According to Jones, 'pick-me' girls seek out male attention in order to feel safe. But in order to prove that other women are non-threatening, they must first invalidate them. By the same token, internalised misogyny can also look like labelling other women as 'pick-me' girls, or choosing to mock them on social media, instead of recognising the larger social order impacting their behaviour: the patriarchy. In some ways, by pointing the finger at 'pick-me' girls, women are also upholding the same oppressive system. Feels a little like a vicious cycle, doesn't it? By rejecting labels of what's traditionally 'feminine' or 'masculine' altogether and becoming attuned to their own wants, needs, and desires, women can avoid catering to the male gaze and begin dismantling the patriarchy in their everyday lives. Essentially, being true to yourself and your interests no matter what other people might think, and respecting others while they do the same. There is no need to criticise other women for liking what they like. It's important to notice when men do, and to then decide if a romantic relationship is really something worth pursuing. 'Continue working to support your friends and other women,' Jones says. 'When possible, shed gender norms, stereotypes, and walls of invalidation. And offer yourself to be a safe space for other women to speak freely and be transparent in your own needs.' By actively recognising the patriarchal structures that inherently impact the way we've been socialised to make decisions — while taking into account race, class, and other intersectional privileges — women can come together and make intentional decisions that further empower themselves and discover what they enjoy, think, and believe, free from restraint. And instead of waiting to be chosen, we can choose ourselves. Iman Hariri-Kia is a writer, editor, and author born and based in New York City.

Disney Lays Off Several Hundred Employees in Cost-Cutting Measure
Disney is laying off several hundred employees globally as part of cost-cutting measures. The impacted teams are employees working on marketing for both film and television, as well as TV publicity, casting and development and corporate financial operations, a source familiar with the matter confirms to The Hollywood Reporter. While individual employees from those teams are impacted, and were notified Monday, no team itself is being eliminated, the source said. More from The Hollywood Reporter Renée Victor, Voice of Abuelita in 'Coco,' Dies at 86 'Lilo & Stitch' Live-Action Remake Ignites Debate Over "Harmful" Changes to Original's Story Disney+, Hulu Expand Subscriber-Only Perks and Sweepstakes with 'Freakier Friday' Movie Premiere Tickets, Disney Cruise Vacations and More In March, Disney cut just under 200 jobs at ABC News and at its Disney Entertainment Networks division due to economic headwinds facing the linear TV business. The cuts represented about 6 percent of the division's workforce. This is part of Disney's ongoing efficiency and cost-cutting measures, which were outlined in September, as it refocuses on streaming and pushes for profitability. The Burbank-based company employs 233,000 people globally and 171,000 in the U.S., per its most recent annual report. 'We continually evaluate ways to invest in our businesses and more effectively manage our resources and costs to fuel the state-of-the-art creativity and innovation that consumers value and expect from Disney,' a rep for the company stated in September. 'As part of this ongoing optimization work, we have been reviewing the cost structure for our corporate-level functions and have determined there are ways for them to operate more efficiently.' In 2023, upon his return, Disney CEO Bob Iger unveiled a plan to cut 7,000 employees as part of a 'strategic realignment' of the company that was instituted in multiple phases with staffers being cut across a number of months.
