Lindsay Lohan Wants to Do 'Some More Serious, Dramatic Roles' After ‘Freakier Friday'
Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are back together, 22 years after starring in beloved comedy Freaky Friday. Freakier Friday reunites the duo as mother and daughter Tess and Anna Coleman, who swapped bodies in the original film and, in the sequel, discover that lightning may indeed strike twice. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Parent Trap' Stars Lindsay Lohan, Lisa Ann Walter, Elaine Hendrix Reunite at 'Freakier Friday' Premiere Joseph Quinn Wants a Marvel Team-Up With Tom Holland: "He's Our Best-Ever Spider-Man" 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Stars Weigh in on Show's Bullying Ban: "People Can Take It Too Far" At Freakier Friday's L.A. premiere on Tuesday, Lohan told The Hollywood Reporter that the follow-up movie is 'bigger, we have more stories to tell. It's a four-way swap and there's more music and there's a lot more physical comedy than the first one, which I love. Any moment that I can pull a Lucile Ball, I'm down for it.' Lohan and Curtis have remained close friends since they worked together two decades ago, as Lohan explained, 'She was there for me at a time of my life when my mom was busy with my siblings, and she was kind of like another mother figure to me out here in L.A. That's kept us pretty tight-knit over time, and we've always just been in contact.' Curtis added that in working with the 15-year-old Lohan in the first film, 'I said to her from day one, 'I want nothing from you except your own peace and serenity. And I am safe, I'm a home base; I don't want anything, I'm not going to ask you to come to anything.'' She continued, 'I don't want her to feel transactional with me, I want her to feel love.' The film is a return to the big screen for Lohan, who has marked her Hollywood comeback with a series of Netflix films over the past few years. Looking forward, the star said she's 'doing a TV show with Hulu that I'm really excited about and I'd like to take on some more serious, dramatic roles. And I love doing romantic comedy because that's where my home is and I feel like where my fans want to see me, but I'd like to take on some things that are different; maybe find something that's an action-packed film. Just really show people a different side of me.' Also returning for the sequel is love interest Chad Michael Murray, who joked of Curtis and Lohan, 'I'll ride those girls' coattails anytime. I came in, and you never know what to expect, you're sitting there going, 'Oh God, let's not screw it up.' You're going to make a sequel and I hate to say it but it's as good, if not better — they delivered.' Also at the premiere, the film's fictional band Pink Slip surprised guests with a special performance prior to the screening, and Lohan was joined on the carpet by her Parent Trap co-stars Lisa Ann Walter and Elaine Hendrix. Freakier Friday hits theaters Aug. 8. Tiffany Taylor contributed to this report.

The Best Dishes Eater Chicago Editors Ate This Week: August 1
The editors at Eater Chicago dine out several times a week, if not per day, which means we're always encountering standout dishes that deserve time in the limelight. Here's the very best of everything the team has eaten this week. Coppa from Rose Mary x Cane Pazzo dinner in West Loop A dish from a recent collaboration at Rose Mary. Jeffy Mai/Eater Chicago Rose Mary is consistently one of the city's hottest dining destinations, and this past week, there was extra buzz at the restaurant for a special one-night-only dinner with Cane Pazzo of Charleston, South Carolina. The evening showcased a collaborative menu by local culinary celeb and Top Chef winner Joe Flamm and Cane Pazzo's Mark Bolchoz. Given both chefs' pedigrees in Italian cuisine, it was no surprise that the meal felt like a cohesive vision. The standout course arrived early — a plate of coppa topped with grilled pepper and artichoke relish, and parmesan. It was accompanied by grilled focaccia, and every bite was a reminder that sometimes, quality ingredients shine brightest with the simplest preparations. It's not a dish I'll be able to order again, but one that will linger in my memory for a while. — Jeffy Mai, associate editor, Eater Midwest Double burger from Wolf & Company in West Town A burger from Wolf & Company. Jeffy Mai/Eater Chicago Traversing the 606, or Bloomingdale Trail, is an easy and surefire way to work up an appetite. Luckily for Chicagoans, a new restaurant and marketplace recently opened just steps away from the path on Western Avenue. Wolf & Company is the latest project from the team behind Little Bad Wolf and Gretel, and it certainly has potential. The bi-level space features a restaurant, marketplace, and deli on the first floor, and a breezy second-floor cafe and lounge with plenty of outdoor seating. The menu offers a selection of pizzas, sandwiches, and approachable items like wings and steak frites. But for those who have been to Wolf & Company's older siblings, you probably already know the burgers are fantastic. Well, I'm happy to report that the newcomer's offering is similarly noteworthy. I opted for the double-patty — triple-patty and single-patty mini burgers are also available — and it delivered the salty, umami-rich flavor bomb I was expecting. The burger is dressed with charred onion aioli, pickles, and cheese, and though it doesn't really need much else, you can add optional toppings like an egg, bacon, or fried onion straws. And hey, if you feel a food coma coming on after devouring the burger and a generous helping of curly fries, there's always a 2.7-mile trail nearby to help walk it off. — J.M. Mixed Mushroom and Veggie Dumplings from Union Dumpling House in Lincoln Square Union Dumpling House is solid. Ashok Selvam/Eater Chicago Union Dumpling House isn't for lingering. Customers order from a pair of touchscreen terminals near the entrance and are given a number while workers furiously prepare their chosen dumplings. There are a few flat screens that play an advertisement for the restaurant on a loop, and the acting is magnificent, showing us that dumplings are nutritious, delicious, and suitable for any multicultural group of customers. Theatrics aside, the dumplings are solid and can go toe to toe with any spot in Chinatown. While there are meatier options available, I love the chance to fool my toddler into eating vegetables, and the mixed mushroom and veggie option rose to the occasion. Truth be told, I liked the veggie selection better than lamb, pork, and shrimp selections. Not to say that carnivores won't be happy, but I was quite pleased with the texture of the mushrooms. You could taste the veggies; they weren't some cheap stuffing meant to emulate meat, which is a pet peeve of mine. This spot is good for a quick meal. I just hope they switch that video up or at least turn the volume down a little bit. — Ashok Selvam, lead editor, Eater Midwest Breakfast Sando from Sarima in Wicker Park Breakfast isn't one of my favorite meals. I'd rather grab a protein bar or smoothie and run out the door. Eggs have never been something I look forward to eating. But I've softened over the years and realized a good egg sandwich isn't so bad. Kasama raised the stakes with its Fil-Am classic, as seen on that award-winning comedy on Hulu. Several have since entered the ring, inspired by the combo of eggs and longanissa. Which brings me to Sarima, a new Wicker Park bakery where South Asian and Filipino flavors mingle. For those who don't eat pork, a cohort that includes religious Muslims and vegetarians, breakfast, breakfast sandwiches don't always satisfy, especially as you smell the wonderful aroma of bacon. But it's 2025, and we have the technology. At Sarima, they make bacon tocino out of chicken with outstanding results. The breakfast sandwich, perched on a potato bun, is a quality morning meal with a little pep thanks to a sweet and sour achaar aioli. You can customize it, but the crispy hash brown patty is something. Yes, I feel bad I haven't ordered the dosa yet. But I'll probably ask them to add some of that tocino to really rile up the vegetarian ancestors. At Sarima, Ice Cube gets what he's always wanted: Breakfast with no hog. — A.S.

Want to Look Like You Just Stepped Off the Amalfi Coast? Try the Retro Dolce Vita Bob
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. From claw clips to finger waves, French twists and Bardot bangs, retro hairstyles have been making a major resurgence of late. And the latest one rising to the top of our mood boards, signaling the return of polished and glamorous styles, is the 'dolce vita' bob. Popularized in the 1950s, and reemerging thanks to celebrities like singer-songwriter Raye, whose sculpted, coiffed bob is now something of a signature, this retro bob is officially trending. Everyone from Sabrina Carpenter to Cardi B and Zendaya are making a strong case for the bouncy, polished curls and short crop. Think of it as the new, more modern iteration of the 'old money' bob, which went viral last year and saw the return of rather expensive-looking, shiny lengths and the signature 'tucked under' crop from the '50s take shape. Drawing inspiration from the voluminous silhouette of old, the 'dolce vita' bob is all about achieving an ultra-polished finish and bouncy volume. 'This longer bob length shape shares the same luxurious and glamorous texture of the old money bob, but with extra volume and a more cushioned, weightless finish,' shares trend forecaster and hair expert, Tom Smith. How to make it work for your hair type? 'This is for those who like volume and who have thick hair or who want to create that illusion,' shares Smith. 'The long, soft, and fluid layers help to give movement to finer hair and manage the bulk of thicker hair,' he adds. Though it's best suited to those with naturally wavy or curly hair, anyone with straighter lengths can also achieve the look using heated rollers or a classic curling wand. If you haven't mastered the art of rollers yet, fear not—there are plenty of tools, tips, and techniques at your disposal to recreate this hairstyle too, like ghd's Duet Blowdry to Dyson's Airwrap. 'The look can be achieved with a blow-dry using a round brush, but you can also use heated rollers, or tools such as the Dyson Airwrap with the curl attachments,' Smith agrees. Finally, don't forget copious hairspray and a smoothing cream for that polished finish. From: ELLE UK
