Lindsay Lohan reveals advice from Jamie Lee Curtis ahead of ‘Freakier Friday' sequel
Lindsay Lohan is reflecting on timeless advice she received from Jamie Lee Curtis while filming the 2003 Disney hit Freaky Friday. Now 39, Lohan opened up at the NYC screening of their upcoming sequel Freakier Friday, which hits theaters August 8. 'She said, 'How you show up on set is how the whole crew feels. You control the energy that goes on set, so always bring your best self,'' Lohan shared, recalling Curtis' impact during her early years in Hollywood. The original Freaky Friday featured the two as a mother-daughter duo who magically switch bodies. Over two decades later, the sequel takes things further, with a four-way body-swap involving Lohan's on-screen daughter and Curtis' soon-to-be step-granddaughter. Lohan admitted returning to the franchise was deeply emotional. 'It's very full circle for me,' she said. 'It was just a really exciting day when we were first there, all together.' Now a mother herself, Lohan shares 2-year-old son Luai with her husband, Bader Shammas, whom she married in 2022. When asked about motherhood, the Mean Girls star beamed, 'All of it! There's not one favorite part, it's all of it.' Curtis, 66, also reflected on Lohan's growth. 'Lindsay being grown up is something I've watched happen… I watched her get married, I watched her have a baby… and it's beautiful to see.' The reunion marks not just a cinematic comeback, but a personal milestone for both stars, who have maintained a 20-year friendship off-screen.

Renée Rapp's two-day NYC pop-up promises exclusive merch this week
For those of us who live for pop culture moments, Renée Rapp is serving us two days' worth in celebration of her sophomore album, BITE ME. Hard to believe, but it was only six years ago that Rapp hit the Broadway stage as a replacement Regina George in the Mean Girls musical, a role she went on to repeat for the movie adaptation. Now, Rapp has become a massive deal on her own, with her hugely successful pop career and previous album, 2023's Snow Angel. Curated by Complex, the two‑day BITE ME pop‑up is unmissable for Rapp fans. With the album out August 1, celebrate new music from the Sex Lives of College Girls star with fellow fans at 620 Broadway from 11am to 7pm, July 31 and August 1. Think: exclusive collabs, album-specific merch, a special-edition color vinyl and collector GAS Trading Cards—all only available for 48 hours. The merch drop includes graphic‑heavy tees and cozy hoodies with Rapp's signature pop‑punk flair. And as if a 48-hour window wasn't exclusive enough, a free RSVP doesn't guarantee entry. Hardcore fans can roll right from the pop-up on August 1 to Rapp's album release concert at Warsaw at 7pm, her last performance in New York City until she heads to Madison Square Garden on September 29 and Barclays Center on October 1 on her BITE ME tour. That tour—with special guests Syd and Ravyn Lenae—officially launches in Morrison, Colorado, on September 23. Just over a month and 17 stops later, the tour concludes in Charlotte, North Carolina, on October 29. Until the tour officially kicks off, however, you can stream BITE ME's lead single, "Leave Me Alone," to your heart's content. It's not much longer until we'll have a full album of Rapp tracks to spend the rest of the summer with. Or, as she wrote on Instagram, "the soundtrack to the last two years of my life."

Lindsay Lohan ditched Hollywood glamour for 'normal life' in Dubai
Lindsay Lohan is opening up about why she left Hollywood for a new life in Dubai. Lohan, 39, spent the majority of her young career in the spotlight attempting to evade the paparazzi. Now, she's traded in the flashing lights for a "very normal life" away from the scrutiny of Los Angeles. "It's just far away from Hollywood. And I live a very normal life," Lohan said during an appearance on "LIVE with Kelly and Mark." "There's no worry of like, I can't go eat at this place because someone's going to take a picture of my son. It's just, I feel very safe." "It's not legal," she explained, of paparazzi taking photos. "You can't even take a picture of someone else if you're at a restaurant. You have to ask the person. Which is a big difference. The privacy is unique." Lohan previously revealed the lack of privacy in Los Angeles left her stressed out. "It's hard in L.A. Even taking my son to the park in L.A., I get stressed. I'm like, 'Are there cameras?' In New York, there's no worry; no one bothers us," the "Mean Girls" star told Elle magazine in May. Everyone has their own thing going on. There's a different kind of energy in New York. I'd rather have downtime in New York than I would in L.A." "But the nice thing about L.A. is, I like space [and you get that here]. But I'm thinking as I'm saying this, the funny thing is, in Dubai I get all of those things. I get the privacy, I get the peace, I get the space. I don't have to worry there. I feel safe." The "Parent Trap" star, who gained fame at a very young age, noted her experience growing up in the spotlight was tainted by the paparazzi. "I feel like some of [my work] got overshadowed by paparazzi and all that kind of stuff when I was younger, and that's kind of annoying," Lohan told Bustle in 2024. "I wish that part didn't happen." "I feel like that kind of took on a life of its own. So that's why I wanted to disappear. I was like, 'Unless there's no story here, they're not going to focus on just my work.'" Since her return to the big screen, Lohan, who stars alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in "Freakier Friday," said she's found that prioritizing herself makes a huge difference in her overall well-being. For Lohan, family is also a priority. "I mean, it's the most important thing: my husband, my son and me," she added. "It's all about balance and, as I said, routine. Especially when you have a kid, routine is the most important thing. And whatever their routine is, I've got to live by that."

Netflix streaming 5 'much funnier' movies than Happy Gilmore 2 - including another Sandler classic
Fans left disappointed by the return of Happy Gilmore should look no further than these comedy classics all available to stream on Netflix Viewers left gutted by Happy Gilmore's comeback should turn their attention to these dependable comedy gems that are all available to stream on Netflix. One of them even features Adam Sandler himself during his comedic prime for those craving a hit of nostalgia. The Hollywood star's return as the foul-mouthed professional golfer is without doubt one of this year's most eagerly awaited follow-ups. Yet it hasn't exactly struck gold with reviewers, with The Hollywood Reporter branding it "terrible" alongside "moronic, witless and relentlessly vulgar". Ordinary punters have also felt rather deflated, as one commented on X: "Happy Gilmore 2 is, unfortunately awful. I had to force myself to watch all of it", reports the Express. "I just kept hoping it would just end. It was like watching something made by a 10 year old." Fortunately, there are loads of rib-tickling choices ready to stream for anyone needing a proper giggle this weekend. Bridesmaids When Annie Walker (played by Wiig) gets chosen as chief bridesmaid for her bestie Lillian's (Maya Rudolph) big day, mayhem kicks off when she locks horns with posh interloper Helen (Rose Byrne). The flick has stayed a crowd-pleaser all these years on, with one Google review gushing: "Love this movie lol, 10 years now it's been making me laugh. "Years later.. I still watch probably twice a year. There's not one filler part.. it's all funny and if it's not it has a reason for it. Pretty great soundtrack too. All the actors at their absolute best." Bridesmaids is available to stream on Netflix. Mean Girls Penned by and featuring 30 Rock icon Tina Fey, this blockbuster comedy remains just as cherished today as it was upon its debut over two decades ago.

Big Daddy When layabout Sonny faces being dumped by his girlfriend, he pledges to become more mature and accidentally finds himself caring for young Julian (Dylan and Cole Sprouse) who appears on his doorstep. Anticipate loads of mayhem and reckless antics from this unapologetically daft comedy one admirer dubbed "an absolute classic". "I am currently watching this again after so many years," they continued. "I can't believe this was out when I was 9 and the movie is still as awesome as it was when it was released." Big Daddy is available to stream on Netflix. Pineapple Express When Dale (Rogen) and his dealer Saul (Franco) become embroiled in a criminal conflict, they find themselves with little choice but to flee. Yet matters deteriorate further when a dangerous crime boss and a bent police officer begin pursuing them. One Letterboxd user's five-star review said: "A stoner comedy classic. I've seen this bad-boy around a dozen times and I laugh my damn a** off with every viewing. "The laughs keep coming and coming, it's a laugh a second kind of comedy, sure it's silly, but silly can sometimes be great."

One passionate Letterboxd review confessed: "I can count on two hands the number of movies that are able to make me laugh out loud on a second viewing; however, Superbad is the only movie that will continue to make me laugh out loud on the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh viewing, etc. "Michael Cera steals the show. His awkwardness is unlike anything I have seen before and he never fails to make you either laugh or cringe." Superbad is available to stream on Netflix.
