Amanda Seyfried: Paramount owes me for Mean Girls merch
The 39-year-old actress - who played Karen Smith in the 2004 movie - loves the enduring popularity of the teen comedy but admitted she feels "a little resentful" because her fact appears on so many T-shirts and she doesn't get any royalties for the use of her likeness.
Asked if she has rewatched the film, she told Adam Brody for Variety's Actors on Actors series: "No. It's on often enough though. I love it. I really love seeing my face on people's T-shirts.
"I'm a little resentful because Paramount still owes me some money for the likeness. Every store sells Mean Girls T-shirts with our faces.
Amanda questioned if she missed out on extra revenue because she was young and "dumb" when she signed her contract for the film.
She said: "Don't I [get something from that]? Is it because I was 17 and dumb? Or is it..?' "
But Amanda is always grateful when she meets fans of the film.
She said: "Even the girl at TSA tells me it's her favourite movie. I'm like, 'Great! I had nothing to do with it, I was 17...'"
Meanwhile, the Mamma Mia star - who has two children with husband Thomas Sadoski - thinks she is "allergic" to marijuana, though she had some enjoyable times consuming the drug with Adam.
Reminiscing about visiting a beach when they filmed 'Jennifer's Body', she said: "I don't know if I could do pot again. I think I'm allergic to it. I had some bad experiences.
"But I remember that being the most peaceful. That was probably the last time. I might have also gotten stoned with you at your house that I now own.
"I think the only time I've enjoyed pot was with you, so thank you. You have an effect on people. Look at what's happening: You're in a hit show, and people are gasping, 'Adam Brody'."
The Nobody Wants This star quipped: "I don't think it's pot-related."
Amanda agreed: "No, it's just that you make people feel at ease."
Adam said: "I really appreciate that, I think because I'm pretty attuned to people's discomfort because I'm in touch with my own, so I don't think I'm a bad host in that way."

Cate Blanchett 'wildly interested' in English-language Squid Game
Cate Blanchett is "wildly open" to leading an English-language take on Squid Game. The 56-year-old actress made a surprise appearance in the third series of the South Korean series as an unnamed American recruiter and she aditted she would love to take the role further. Asked if she is interested in an English-language Squid Game sequel or spin-off, she told Variety: 'I am wildly open to anything. "And in a world that is so beautifully, magically created like that, for sure. They're amazing world-builders, and that series has been eaten alive. I don't think there's a corner of the globe that it hasn't touched in some way.' Despite rumours Cate's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button director David Fincher has pitched an English-language take on the series, the Oscar-winning star insisted she doesn't know anything. She said: 'I mean, I'd love to work with David again. It's been ages. But no, I don't know anything more than you do. I'm not being coy. I really don't.' The Australian star's offer to appear on Squid Game came "out of the blue" and was shrouded in so much secrecy, she didn't even have a costume fitting and was instead asked to bring a suit of her own. She recalled: 'Because it's such a cult series and they were shooting in LA of all places, everyone was on a need-to-know basis. 'I got a couple of storyboards. I had to [learn to] play the game very quickly. I had to practice and practice. "I knew there were four or five setups that they were going to do, and I knew what they needed from every shot, and then I was given the sides. But it was one of the more mysterious jobs.' The Disclaimer actress - who won her first two Emmy nominations as an actress and producer for Mrs. America in 2020 - is "absolutely" looking forward to doing more TV and is "particularly keen" to join a series that is "fully formed" already.

Maluma stops show to reprimand fan with baby
Maluma stopped his concert to reprimand a fan who had brought along a baby. The 31-year-old singer was performing in Mexico City over the weekend when he noticed an infant in the audience without ear protection, prompting him to accuse the tot's mom of treating her child "like they're a toy" and insisting he would never take his daughter Paris, 17 months, to a concert at such a young age. In a video shared on X and translated from Spanish by Variety, the Colombian performer said: 'With all due respect… how old are they? A year old? Less? A year. "Do you think it's a good idea to bring a one-year-old baby to a concert where the decibels are this f****** high?" "Where is the sound this loud? That baby doesn't even know what it's doing here. "Next time, protect their ears or something. For real. It's heavy. It's your responsibility. "You're waving them around like they're a toy. That baby doesn't want to be there, for real. I'm telling you with all love and respect, now that I'm a father… would never bring them to a concert. "For the next time, be a bit more aware." The Sobrio singer - whose real name is Juan Luis Londoño Arias - previously spoke of how much he loves the way his life has changed sine girlfriend Susana Gomez gave birth to their daughter. He told Allure last year: "Everything changed. And I love it. "Now, I wake up every day with the desire to conquer the world. I know I have to f****** kill it." And Maluma has vowed to set the best example possible to his little girl. He said: "For Paris, nothing is impossible. You have to lead by example. "I go to bed every night that I can at 9 and wake up at 5:30 to hit the gym because I want to be healthy. You want to live forever for your kids. I want to make her proud." The 'Hawái ' hitmaker also noted that while the "essence" of his image of a bad boy on stage still remains, he is "more mature" since becoming a dad and is managing to find the balance between his public persona and family life, even though it can be "difficult" at times. He said: "It's still the same essence, but more mature I would say, and more chill. I'm just vibing. I'm having fun being with my family, but I'm also having fun being onstage. I'm doing things that I love, and finally, I feel like I'm on the right path. It's difficult to find that balance, but I'm there. I'm there and working for it."

Alden Ehrenreich on link between new movie Weapons and school shootings
Alden Ehrenreich has discussed the link between his new movie Weapons and school shootings. In Zach Cregger's horror movie, Alden, 35, stars as a police officer whose small town is rocked by the sudden and mysterious disappearance of 17 children and Alden admitted there is 'clearly some relationship' between school shootings and the movie. He told Variety: 'Trying to boil it down to a thesis is probably in vain, I think this story is more like a dream. It's more poetic than rational. We had some conversations, [for instance] there is a moment where a gun appears in the sky. 'I think there's clearly some relationship between that gun and a bunch of missing children and school shootings. He didn't say that, but to me it feels like it's there in a poetic sense. The thing that feels more concrete to me is that all of these characters are an expression and a part of Zach. Julia [Garner] said, during our press tour, that she kept making certain choices wearing T-shirts and glasses. In the end, she saw she was just dressing like Zach. It's proof positive that filmmakers should take more personal risks. It smells original, in the same way that the audience can smell when something's formulaic and they've seen it a million times.' Alden put on weight to play police officer Paul Morgan in the movie in order to better portray 'someone moving through a life that really isn't his own'. He explained: 'One of the more important things for the character was to be carrying around as much weight as possible, physically and emotionally. I wear a bulletproof vest, and production was going to spare me because we shot in Atlanta and it was so hot, but we wound up keeping it. I gained some weight for the role, not so much to play a cop but to play someone moving through a life that really isn't his own. Someone in a circumstance, a relationship and a job, that's not genuine to who he is. And that is what's tonally unique about Zack. Francis Ford Coppola told me on my first movie [Tetro] that if you write something really personal, it will become something no one has ever seen before. Because each one of us is completely unique and original. I think that's true of this movie.'
