Lindsay Lohan was last on the big screen in 2013’s ‘The Canyons’
Lindsay Lohan is returning to one of her most iconic roles.
In a recent Instagram post shared by Disney Studios, Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis could be seen sitting next to each other on set, confirming that production has officially begun on “Freaky Friday 2.”
The caption read, “The Colemans are back and coming to theaters in 2025! The sequel to Freaky Friday is now in production!”
The first movie was released in August 2003 and starred Curtis and Lohan as a feuding mother-daughter-duo who switch bodies after a particularly nasty argument. The two spend the rest of the film trying to switch back before Curtis’ character’s wedding, learning more about each other and their day-to-day struggles in the process.
Her return to the character also marks her return to the big screen following many ups and downs in her personal life over the years, including partying and multiple arrests.
As Lohan wasn’t the only young star branded a “bad girl” in that era, here are some celebrities who were very familiar with the club scene in the early 2000s.
Lindsay Lohan
Lohan had her big break starring in the 1998 classic “The Parent Trap” and stayed booked and busy with starring roles in “Freaky Friday,” “Georgia Rule” and “Mean Girls,” until her partying appeared to get in the way.
Her nights out led to multiple arrests and stints in rehab. Soon enough, she developed a bad reputation in Hollywood for showing up late and unprepared to set, leading to fewer offers coming her way.
She later dipped her toe into the business world, opening three beach clubs in Greece between 2016 and 2018. Her managerial style was showcased in the short-lived MTV reality series “Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club.” Despite owning the clubs in Greece, Lohan has lived in Dubai since 2014, away from the paparazzi.
After multiple comeback attempts, in projects such as “The Canyons” and “Liz & Dick,” Lohan signed a multi-picture deal with Netflix and has starred in two romantic comedies for the streaming service, “Falling for Christmas” and “Irish Wish.” Her next big project is the highly anticipated “Freaky Friday” sequel, which
In July 2023, Lohan’s rep announced she had welcomed her first child, son Luai, with husband Bader Shammas.
Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton’s reputation as the ultimate party girl started when she was still a teenager sneaking into New York nightclubs in the ’90s.
When speaking with W Magazine in September 2004, Hilton explained that she probably went out to different clubs four nights a week. She first started going out after moving to New York, when she says “all of a sudden, I was getting invited to every single event and party, movie premiere, gala, and nightclub opening.”
“There was nothing like 2000s nightlife. It was so fun and free, and no one was looking at a phone. It was all about dancing and hanging out with your friends,” Hilton said. “It wasn’t about bottle service or people buying their way in. If you were cool, and they knew who you were, you were there. People today don’t know what fun is.”
Hilton has since built a brand around partying, traveling the world as a musician and DJ. She has also been working hard with the organization Breaking Code Silence, which aims to stop the “Troubled Teen Industry” and empower those who have survived it.
Her love story with her husband, Carter Reum, was featured in season one of her reality show, “Paris in Love,” with season two focusing on her journey into motherhood. She shares son Phoenix and daughter London with Reum, whom they welcomed via surrogate.
Nicole Richie
Nicole Richie’s partying in the early 2000s, led to four separate arrests, a short stint in jail and three years of probation for heroin possession. She also landed in rehab on multiple occasions, for addictions to cocaine, heroin and prescription pills.
“The Simple Life” star credits meeting her husband, Joel Madden, and getting pregnant with her first child for inspiring her to turn her life around.
“It’s been a pattern in my life — when I get in trouble, I try to get out of it,” she told ABC News. “And the difference is, is that I’m a mother now and not only thinking about myself.”
In 2008, Richie started the successful fashion line, House of Harlow, which has since extended past apparel and jewelry and into eyewear, fragrance and home decor. In addition, Richie has made several appearances as a guest on popular sitcoms, and in 2016 she was cast as a lead in Tina Fey’s Netflix comedy, “Great News.”
Aside from being a great businesswoman, Richie is a mom to two kids – daughter Harlow, 16, and son Sparrow, 14.
Britney Spears
Britney Spears was known for going out with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan in the early 2000s. Things changed, however, in 2007, when she had her infamous public breakdown, shaving her head and attacking paparazzi with an umbrella.
She was placed under a conservatorship in 2008. She continued to work, appearing in episodes of “How I Met Your Mother,” “Glee” and “Jane the Virgin,” and released four albums, including “Circus” and “Britney Jean.”
In December 2013, while still under conservatorship, she launched the Britney: Piece of Me residency in Las Vegas, which ran for four years, ending in December 2017. A second residency, Britney: Domination, was later announced but canceled.
Around the cancelation of her second residency, the Free Britney Movement began to gain steam, with fans calling for the end of her conservatorship and the harsh rules she was forced to live under. The conservatorship ended in November 2021.
