Jamie Lee Curtis developed 'maternal care' for Lindsay Lohan
The 66-year-old actress starred alongside Lindsay, 39, in the 2003 comedy movie, and Jamie admits that she developed a close bond with her co-star at the time.
She told the Guardian newspaper: "I felt tremendous maternal care for Lindsay after the first movie, and continued to feel that.
"When she'd come to Los Angeles, I would see her. She and I have remained friends, and now we're sort of colleagues. I feel less maternal towards her because she's a mommy now herself and doesn't need my maternal care, and has, obviously, a mom – Dina's a terrific grandma."
Jamie insists that Lindsay doesn't need any life advice from her.
The actress said: "I'm bossy, very bossy, but I try to mind my own business. She doesn't need my advice. She's a fully functioning, smart woman, creative person. Privately, she's asked me questions, but nothing that's more than an older friend you might ask."
Jamie and Lindsay have reunited to star in Freakier Friday, the sequel to their 2003 movie, and Lindsay recently claimed that she's now "wiser" and more "settled" than ever before.
The actress told People: "I'm at ease in my life because I've lived, I feel like, such a long life at such a young age. I feel wiser now and very settled. I've become such a positive person. It annoys my husband sometimes. He's like, 'You have to see the real s***.' I don't have to, though! I'm going to think of the positive side."
Jamie, meanwhile, feels like she can "trust" her younger co-star.
The veteran film star said: "I know I can trust her. I can't say that about a lot of people.
"I do know that if I tell her something, it's gonna stay with her. We've both been through hard things, 'cause we're alive and life is hard. And we're not dead yet. So the truth of our experience together, it belies all of the kind of showbizzy stuff. We connected, and we really stayed connected. And that is special and rare for me."

Heidi Klum 'doesn't worry about age-shaming'
Heidi Klum thinks society has become "more welcoming of wrinkles". The 52-year-old model has suggested that attitudes towards ageing have changed in recent years, observing that it's now "okay to be older". Heidi told People: "I feel like we're more welcoming of wrinkles and rolls on our body. Being accepted at every age is amazing. That we've changed and come all that way." Heidi doesn't have any fears of "age-shaming or body-shaming". She shared: "For me to be older, it doesn't matter. I don't have this age-shaming or body-shaming thing. I feel like everyone should do what they want to do. I like to run around sexy — even now at 52." Heidi actually loves posting sexy photos of herself on social media. The model suggested that she's been posting so-called thirst traps since before social media was invented. She said: "I've been photographing nude or in lingerie since 1992, way before Instagram. "So for me, it's nothing new. For the past 15 years, other people are now doing what I've been doing for 30 years. Instead of being in my little bottoms in a magazine, I'm on Instagram. It's the same thing." The model has also encouraged other women to not "hide" once they reach 50. She said: "The biggest misconception [about] being in your 50s is that you are off the shelf. You're not off the shelf. We are very much on that shelf for everyone to see. "Don't hide in your 50s. Beauty is ever-changing, and I'm here for the change. If it's always the same, life is boring." Heidi is married to 35-year-old musician Tom Kaulitz, and she previously described her husband as a "great man". The model also rubbished criticism of their age gap. Asked why it's such a big issue for so many people, Heidi told Glamour magazine: "I think it's often just spitefulness. "Perhaps many people also think I've had too much luck in life. I have a great job, I get to travel the world, I can buy expensive things. And now I've also got myself such a great man."

Dax Shepard lets his kids curse 'when it's called for'
Dax Shepard allows his kids to swear. The 50-year-old actor - who has daughters Lincoln, 12, and Delta, ten, with actress Kristen Bell - has revealed that he has no issues with swearing in front of his children, and he doesn't mind them cursing "when it's called for" either. Dax said on the Armchair Expert podcast: "I fully swear in front of my kids. They are allowed to swear, not with impunity, but when it's called for, and they land it, and it's in the house and not out at a restaurant, it's OK. "My defence of it is, I just told the girls, like, 'Hey, these are noises that come out of your mouth, and you assign what they mean to you.'" Dax also acknowledged that his kids are exposed to curse words at school. He added: "You just don't want them to say it in front of a teacher." Meanwhile, Kristen previously revealed that she tries to set a positive example for her kids. The Hollywood star explained that she and her husband try to deal with their problems in the healthiest way possible, so that their children can learn from their example. Kristen - who has been married to Dax since 2013 - told People: "We always make up in front of them if anyone gets snarky or frustrated or fights, which we all do. "We do not have the makeup, our conflict resolution, be behind closed doors. Even if at dinner, let's say, one of us is frustrated and is a little snarky and then we go to bed. We'll apologise to each other the next morning. "Then we will apologise and make amends to each other in front of the kids so that they can see how conflict resolution actually happens." Despite this, Kristen and Dax initially tried to adopt a hands-off approach to parenting. The actress told TODAY: "When we had our first child, we said we wanted to be 'second child parents,' and we made an agreement that if she wanted to do something, as long as it didn't require a trip to the hospital, she'd be allowed to do it."

Logan Lerman hails 'talented and good-looking' co-star Brad Pitt
Logan Lerman thinks Brad Pitt is the "coolest-looking person" he's ever met. The 33-year-old actor first met Brad, 61, during his childhood, and he relished starring alongside him in Fury, the 2014 war film. Logan told Interview magazine: "I met Brad when I was a little kid as a fan at a restaurant. He was in full leather pants, leather button-up, just the coolest-looking person I'd ever seen in my life. Then we worked together and became friends. "It's nice when you meet people you admire and they are not fussy and particular. They just want to make something great. I've worked with some people, who shall remain nameless, that aren't like that." Logan has worked with some "obnoxious people" during his career - but he insists that Brad was friendly and professional. The movie star said: "I will not [name them], but wouldn't it be fun if I just started bashing all the obnoxious people I've worked with? But Brad was so giving." Logan recalled being blown away by Brad's talent and good looks, too. He added: "You're just like, 'What the hell?' And he's humble." Meanwhile, Logan recently joined the cast of Only Murders in the Building and the actor admitted that he found the show's set to be "oddly fun". Logan stars in season five of the hit TV show, and the actor revealed that he relished the experience of working with the likes of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Speaking to People, he explained: "It's an oddly fun set to be on." The actor admitted that "sometimes, sets are not that enjoyable". However, he hailed the Only Murders set for being "a really good one". He shared: "It's so great. That's a really fun show to work on. I had a really good time." Despite this, Logan is determined to remain tight-lipped about his on-screen character. The actor doesn't want to ruin any surprises for fans of the murder mystery show. He said: "I don't want to ruin anything, but I'm excited for people to see it."
