Lindsay Lohan Shoots Apparent 'Mean Girls' Ad With Movie's Costars

Lindsay Lohan apparently reprised her famous role from the film, "Mean Girls," but this time it was for an upcoming Pepsi ad.

The actress -- and new mom -- seemingly shot the ad with Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert, both of whom were Lindsay's costars in the 2004 hit movie.

Photos obtained by TMZ show the women together on set in Los Angeles Friday -- and they all were relaxed and smiling.

Lindsay was holding a pocketbook labeled, "Plastic Clubs Member, Est. 2004," which was the name of the "Mean Girls" group in the flick. The bag also featured their notable tagline, “On Wednesdays, we wear pink.”

Seyfried and Chabert were posing for snapshots in a convertible car and on a football field.

For anyone who doesn't know, "Mean Girls" was a massive success at the box office and starred Lindsay as Cady Heron, Amanda as Karen Smith and Lacey as Gretchen Wieners. The plot follows Cady as she moves to suburban Illinois and enrolls in a public high school, where she joins a "Mean Girls" clique.

Meanwhile, Lindsay had her first baby with husband Bader Shammas in July. The couple named the boy, Luai.

Dance Craze Louisiana HS Student Twerks On Video ... School Principal Punishes Her

School officials in one Louisiana town must really hate twerking.

Just ask Kaylee Timonet who was filmed happily shaking her booty at a homecoming after-party -- causing the Walker HS senior to lose her scholarship endorsement and her title as president of the school's government association.

Walker HS principal Jason St. Pierre meted out the punishment after he saw Kaylee's video on social media and was apparently super offended, according to "Unfiltered With Kiran," a blog that first reported the news.

Kaylee told the blogger she was just having some harmless fun at the bash with her friends -- one of whom shot the clip and posted it online -- not knowing St. Pierre would take retribution.

Kaylee said she was summoned to St. Pierre's office at school days later and was dressed down by him for twerking, causing her to burst out in tears.

“They basically told me I should be ashamed of myself and that they were concerned about my afterlife if I wasn’t following basically God’s ideals, which made me cry even more,” Kaylee said, adding, “I felt like my life was over.”

Kaylee went on to say St. Pierre removed her scholarship application, despite her 4.2 grade point average, and then booted her from the school's government association.

But, things aren't so bleak for Kaylee. Her small community in Walker has rallied around her, giving her much-needed support. Neighbors are now selling t-shirts with the slogans, “Let the Girl Dance” and “I stand with Kaylee Timonet."

Bill Maher Skewers Hasan Minhaj for Lying ... Truth is Not Relative

FACTS OVER FEELINGS
HBO

Bill Maher did not hold back Friday night, calling comedian Hasan Minhaj a shady liar.

The 'Real Time' host ended his show worrying that the concept of truth has become relative, and Exhibit A is Donald Trump, making wild claims and then simply declaring them to be true.

He then broadens out and says both sides -- the left and right -- are guilty as charged. As Maher puts it, the right pushes conspiracy theories and the left embraces "emotional truth."

BM then takes aim at Minhaj, and there's more beef here than in any happy meal.  Minhaj accused Maher of saying Muslims should be rounded up and incarcerated -- something Bill has never said.

Maher then references a New Yorker story, which calls Minhaj out for making up stories for his act. Specifically, Minhaj says he asked a girl to the prom and at the last minute her parents said she couldn't go because he was a person of color. False, says the New Yorker.

And then there's the story of the FBI hunting Minhaj down and throwing him against a car because they thought he was a terrorist. Again, false, says the mag.

Minhaj told the New Yorker, emotional truth is first -- factual truth is secondary. Not so, says Maher ... not at all.

There's a lot more here ... check out the vid.

MISSING CARNIVAL CRUISE PASSENGER Ex-Wife Believes He's Still Alive ... Family Wants Him Home

NOT A BAD GUY
TMZ.com

Addison Thomas tells TMZ ... deep down she feels Kevin is still alive somewhere, even though his whereabouts remain unknown a month after he fell off the ship and the map.

Even so, Addison says it's still difficult waking up every morning wondering where Kevin is ... telling us it's not like him to abandon his family or his children.

Addison says she maintained a good relationship with Kevin after their split, telling us he would always call to check on their kids ... something they've been missing since his disappearance.

TMZ broke the story ... Kevin was on probation when he vanished over Labor Day weekend, disappearing from a cruise from Miami to the Bahamas without a trace and sparking a Coast Guard search that was ultimately called off.

Kevin was in legal trouble after pleading guilty to aggravated assault in Tennessee in September 2022 -- Kevin threatened her and their kids one night -- and he ended up getting sentenced to 6 years of supervised probation.

Despite that incident, Addison defends her ex, saying he's not a bad guy ... he's a veteran who fought for his country and loves his family.

As for why he'd potentially go on the run -- she doesn't think it's related to his legal issues. Addison emphasized Kevin's not a dangerous person, and she has a message for him if he's out there.

Charlotte Sena Kidnapping Suspect Allegedly Eyed Lawsuit Settlement ... Late Grandad Awarded $2.2 Million

The alleged abductor of 9-year-old Charlotte Sena held her for ransom to get his hands on a portion of a multimillion dollar settlement, according to a new report.

Craig Ross was aware Sena's late grandfather, Patrick, was awarded $2.2 million after he was severely injured in a sledding accident and sued the town of Greenfield, New York, in 1998, the Daily Mail reported. Patrick passed away in 2015, but his sizable payout lives on in his family and was common knowledge among locals like Ross.

Ross allegedly kidnapped Sena and demanded the $50,000 ransom in a note he left at her parent's house because he was "struggling financially," his ex-girlfriend, Amanda Preece, told The Mail.

Preece said the ransom money would have set up Ross for up to five years. She also called Ross a "mooch" because he never wanted to work for money and lived off his mother and girlfriends.

Preece went on to say she believes Ross is "evil" and had been stalking Charlotte and planning her kidnapping for a while.

Last Saturday, Ross allegedly snatched Sena as she rode her bike in Moreau Lake State Park, while the girl was on vacation with her parents in upstate New York.

Police say Ross drove to Sena's home and stuffed the ransom note into her mailbox as investigators were staking out the location.

Cops eventually arrested Ross in his trailer on his mom's property, and he was charged with kidnapping.

Tupac Shakur Retired Detective Testifies In Murder Case ... Sees Link With Biggie Smalls Slaying

Tupac Shakur's fatal 1996 shooting was related to the murder of fellow rapper Biggie Smalls the following year, according to grand jury testimony from a former detective.

Retired Las Vegas Metro Police Detective Clifford Mugg testified before the Clark County grand jury in the Tupac case last month after the recent arrest of Duane "Keefe D" Davis for the hip hop star's murder, CNN reported.

Mugg, one of the investigators in the Tupac case, testified people "associated with both murders were involved," adding that the “theory was accurate that they were related.”

He didn't reveal the theory but admitted there were different assailants in each attack, giving Davis a pass on the Biggie murder.

Prosecutor Marc DiGiacomo asked, “When you say they were related, you’re not saying perpetrated by the same individuals?” Mogg replied, “That’s correct.” Davis was busted in late September and charged with Tupac's murder.

Mogg testified Davis talked his way right into jail by granting so many interviews over the years and talking openly about his alleged involvement in the Tupac murder. Davis was only speaking out to get paid for the salacious story, according to Mogg's testimony.

Shakur was shot to death in a vehicle driven by then-Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight while they were in Vegas for a boxing match in September 1996. Suge was wounded, but survived.

In March 1997, Smalls was killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles.

Ex-Steelers LB Anthony Chickillo Tased By Cops ... After Alleged Meltdown At Hospital

TMZSports.com

UPDATE

7:36 AM PT -- Anthony Chickillo's girlfriend, Tatu Baby, tells TMZ Sports ... the former NFL player was going through a medical episode due to bipolar disorder caused by a concussion that he suffered during his playing days.

"It was just a medical situation," Tatu Baby says.

Tatu Baby added that Chickillo is currently hospitalized and getting the medication he needs in order to get better.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Anthony Chickillo was tased by cops at a hospital this week ... after police say he had a breakdown inside of a doctor's office.

According to the Hialeah Police Department, Chickillo was at the Hialeah Hospital in Hialeah, Fla. on Thursday morning ... when witnesses say he suddenly snapped and began "trashing" an office, breaking things and throwing chairs.

Cops say the former football player then allegedly "tried to attack everybody" -- before he got into a wrestling match with his dad.

Bystanders called 911 -- and when officers arrived on scene, we're told they deployed a taser in order to subdue him.

In video obtained by TMZ Sports, you can see 30-year-old Chickillo was barefoot and shirtless as cops finally got him in handcuffs and took him away from the area.

The HPD tells us, though, Chickillo was not arrested ... and instead was placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold.

We're told he will not be arrested once he's released either because nobody at the doctor's office wanted to press charges.

Chickillo is not a stranger to run-ins with the law. In 2019, he was arrested for allegedly roughing up his girlfriend. The charges were ultimately dropped, however, after prosecutors said she refused to testify against him.

Chickillo was drafted into the NFL by the Steelers in 2015 ... and he went on to play five seasons in Pittsburgh, before joining the Denver Broncos in 2020. In 2021, he announced his retirement, writing on his Instagram page, "I am so grateful for the opportunity and thankful for every one of the teams that gave me a shot."

Ariana Grande, Dalton Gomez Divorce Settled Prenup and Payout

Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez have made quick work out of their divorce, settling up just weeks after they filed to end their marriage.

There weren't a whole lot of contentious issues ... there was a prenup, and, as we reported when we broke the story, Ariana cut Dalton a check ... and according to the settlement Dalton will receive $1,250,000, tax-free. Dalton is getting the money upfront, so there will be no spousal support.

Dalton will also receive 1/2 of the net proceeds from the sale of their L.A. home. And, Ariana will pay up to $25,000 of Dalton's attorney's fees.

A source close to the situation tells us, "There is still a strong mutual love and respect between Ariana and Dalton and they wanted to make sure everything was done right in lockstep with one another."

The settlement is standard operating procedure for Ariana's lawyer, disso queen Laura Wasser, who tries -- usually successfully -- to quickly settle even the most contentious divorces. You'll recall, she recently settled the bitter divorce between Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner.

The settlement has been filed with the court, and all that's left is for the judge to sign and they will be single again.

Ariana is in deep with her newest boo, "Wicked" co-star Ethan Slater, and we're told Dalton is dating as well.

The date of separation on the divorce docs is February 20, but they didn't file for divorce until last month.

We're told the 2 are parting company with no hard feelings, so it's as clean as it can be.

'RHOC' Alum Alexis Bellino Check Out My New Underboob Tat ... Honoring My Late Mom

Alexis Bellino is remembering her late mother ... by getting a passage from her mom's journal tattooed near her boobs.

The 'Real Housewives of Orange County' alum tells TMZ ... her new ink reads "dying is a different way to live" ... it's something her mom once wrote in a diary.

Alexis Bellino
ALL FOR MAMA

Alexis tells us her mom, Penelope, died from a rare brain disease in August ... and 5 days before she died, the family found Penelope's personal journal and went through it.

One passage stuck out to Alexis ... her mom's thoughts about death.

The journal excerpt reads ... "Why is death feared? Is it any different than going to bed at night and then waking up in the morning? Close your eyes one minute and open them the next to a different reality. We so trust waking up. We trust waking to the same reality. But everything changes ... could dying be a different way to live? Dying is a different way to live."

Alexis says when she read the "dying is a different way to live" concept, it felt like her mom was speaking to her directly ... and she wanted it somewhere on her body.

Well, Alexis followed through ... she went to a tattoo parlor Wednesday and got the phrase inked over her ribcage, just below her boob.

Alexis says a friend recommended tattoo artist Dillon Giarraffa, and she's thrilled with the outcome ... telling us he nailed her mom's handwriting. She says the whole process took about 2 1/2 hours and she could feel her mom's energy while she was getting inked.

AB tells us she and her mom are soulmates and while she's still in mourning, the tattoo makes her feel like her mother is with her all the time.

What's The Big Frigin' Difference?!

It's time to GET LOUD, because Jennifer Lopez has entered the chat, and she's not only ready to take some fan selfies, but she's here to stomp you with these two shots! Are you up for the challenge?!

Jenny from the Block left her ball and chain back at Dunkin', stepping out earlier this week in LA and was a total baddie in beige. "Don't be fooled by the (new) rocks that she got," because she's still got some switch-ups in her back pocket 😜!

Also, "Ain't it funny" JLo's bun-y seems a smidge bigger?

**HINT: There are THREE differences in the above Jennifer Lopez photos!**

Keith Sweat Drake Deserves His R&B 👑 They Hated On My Vocal Range, Too!!!

Keith Sweat
CONGRATS DRAKE
TMZ.com

Keith Sweat was singing female fans outta their bras before Drake was even born, but the R&B legend thinks Mr. OVO is now wearing the R&B crown!!!

We caught up with Mr. Make It Last Forever at LAX this week and he gave props where they were due, anointing Drizzy ... who infamously called himself the "light-skinned Keith Sweat" back in 2013!!!

Drake just delivered his new 23-track "For All The Dogs" album with a wide assortment of R&B tracks and singing ... as heard on his #1 hit "Slime You Out" with SZA.

Keith says Drake is doing his thing on the singing front, and he should ignore critics of his vocal range. He says he got the same limited-range diss during his heyday.

Keith admits he was no Stevie Wonder or anything -- but he and his signature twang sold millions of records by dropping rug cutters in an era when singers simply sang and rappers just rapped. As far as he's concerned, Drake's earned his stripes in both genres and deserves all his flowers.

We don't know about bouquets, but the project is a shoo-in to top the next Billboard 200.

Insane Tornado Video Storm Chasers Trapped In Storm Pray to Jesus for Help

Tornados are something to AVOID at all costs ... as proven by this intense clip of storm chasers screaming for their lives while stuck in the middle of a terrifying storm.

The destructive winds touched Lewistown, Illinois back in April, but storm chaser and YouTuber Tanner Charles shared the shocking footage this week.

Tanner and his friends had no choice but to park right in the middle of the tornado's path after powerline poles came down, blocking the road in front of and behind them.

It's pretty horrifying, with the group panicking as the EF-3 tornado got closer to their car -- begging God to keep them stay alive as the windows in their ride got smashed, with loads of debris ripping over them.

Keep in mind, this tornado reached top speeds of 160 mph, so they definitely were feeling the power while right in its crosshairs. The gang somehow survived the brutal storm, and rightfully were extremely grateful to be alive while looking at the aftermath.

4 people were reported injured as a result of the tornado, which traveled nearly 19 miles ... but by some miracle, there were no deaths.

'Love Is Blind' Producers Sued Over Alleged Sexual Assault

"Love Is Blind" producers are being taken to court ... after one of the contestants claims she was sexually assaulted -- and says the incident might've been caught on camera.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Tran Dang -- a contestant on season 5 who was never featured in the final product -- is coming after production companies Delirium TV and Kinetic Content for the alleged incident, which she says went down in 2022.

Dang says she got engaged to fellow contestant Thomas Smith while spending time in the pods ... but claims he sexually assaulted her while filming in Mexico.

She claims Smith "incessantly groped" her, exposed her to his naked body, and "forcibly and repeatedly made sexual contact" with her -- without her consent. Dang says she brought her concerns to producers but alleges they were "swept aside."

She's also suing producers for false imprisonment, claiming she was required to remain on-call in her hotel room and subjected to around-the-clock surveillance that left her "unable to exercise her will in going anywhere she was lawfully allowed to go."

She thinks the 24-hour surveillance means most of the alleged incidents ended up on film.

Dang is seeking more than $1 million in damages, claiming she's suffered extreme emotional distress, pain, mental anguish, and suffering as a result of the ordeal.

"LIB" creator Chris Coelen spoke to People, which was first to report the lawsuit ... saying he supports anyone who comes forward with sexual assault claims, but adds he was "never told that she felt unsafe or experienced any of the allegations that she made."

Delirium and Kinetic Content say Dang's claims are meritless, too.

Fans of the show know Dang and Smith weren't contestants on season 5 ... it appears all traces of them were scrubbed from the final product. She first filed in August 2022, and it's been in mediation since February.

Travis Kelce Responds To Rodgers' 'Mr. Pfizer' Joke ... Stands By Getting Jab

Kansas City Chiefs

Travis Kelce is taking Aaron Rodgers' playful diss in stride ... admitting he thought it was actually funny when the Jets superstar referred to him as "Mr. Pfizer" earlier this week -- but doubling down on his decision to be a vaccine spokesperson.

Kelce addressed AR8's recent comments on the "Pat McAfee Show" with reporters on Friday ... cracking a few jokes of his own as he discussed the whole ordeal.

"I thought it was pretty good," Kelce said at the Chiefs' facility. "I mean, with the 'stache right now, I look like a guy named Mr. Pfizer. Who knew I'd get into a vax war with Aaron Rodgers, man. Mr. Pfizer versus the Johnson & Johnson family over there."

Of course, Kelce is referring to Jets owner Woody Johnson, who is an heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical company.

TK then got real for a second ... explaining his reason for getting the jab.

"I got it because of, you know, keeping myself safe, keeping my family safe, the people in this building. So yeah, I stand by 1000%. Fully comfortable with him calling me Mr. Pfizer."

Kelce -- who celebrated his 34th birthday on Thursday -- was also asked about his recent romance with Taylor Swift and the hype around it ... and he knows he brought all the attention on himself.

"You got a lot of people that care about Taylor and for good reason," Kelce said. "Just gotta keep living and learning and enjoying the moments. At the end of the day, I've always been pretty good with compartmentalizing and being able to stay focused in this building. I'll just keep rollin' with that."
