In case you were holding your breath for a Mean Girls sequel starring the beloved original cast, well, you can let it go now. Tina Fey says it’s not going to happen because they’re all too old and SO ARE YOU.

Extra TV caught up with Tina Fey, who wrote the beloved movie and acted as co-star opposite Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams, and asked her to set the record straight on the rumors of a possible sequel. “We’re coming up next month on the 10-year anniversary of the original movie,” Fey said, referring to when the movie’s release date of April 30, 2004. “I can’t believe it either. We’re going to see if there’s any way to get everyone together, but not a movie, sadly. We’re all past high school age.”
Before taking any drastic action, you may console your shattered heart withanticipation for the Broadway musical, the upcoming “Mean Moms” movie or theglorious reunion photos the cast shares every so often.

I mean, that’s fine with me, honestly. We still have the original Mean Girls! Why not just make more high-quality, funny, smart things that are like Mean Girls but aren’t actually Mean Girls? The next Mean Girls doesn’t have to be another Mean Girls! I mean, did anyone actually like Anchorman 2? STOP WORRYING ABOUT MEAN GIRLS AND GO MAKE ME A NEW MEAN GIRLS. [HuffPo]

Jason Momoa and Cary Elwes have been cast in a new indie feature called Sugar Mountain.

Cary Elwes, Jason Momoa, Drew Roy, Haley Webb and Shane Coffey have been cast in the dark comedy/thriller Sugar Mountain, an indie feature from Yellow Brick Films to be directed by Richard Gray. With the actors set production is now on track to start soon in Alaska. The pic centers on two down-on-their-luck brothers who fake a disappearance in the wilderness so they’ll have a great survival story to sell. But the hoax turns out to be more real than they planned.

Here is Lauren Conrad just talking and talking and talking about “date night.”

“It’s just like any other couple with full-time jobs,” Conrad explains of balancing career with romance. “You make date night and you have weekends, hopefully. Not [all] weekends, but some weekends. I’m really fortunate in that I get to do things that I love, so it doesn’t feel like work. I think if you’re doing something you love, it’s not a lot. You’re excited every day.”

When the happy couple – who recently celebrated their birthdays together in Los Angeles with a hoedown-themed bash – do get free time, a lot of it is spent playing host and hostess.

“We haven’t been to a club together in a very, very long time, if ever,” Conrad said. “We probably entertain more than we go out, to be honest. I love just having a couple of people over for dinner. It’s easier for me. I don’t have to wear shoes. Everybody’s happy.”

On the menu for a typical night at casa de Conrad?

“I like easy foods,” she said. “But if I’m doing a dinner party or something more formal, then I’ll do a full meal. But I think easy bites are fine. They keep everyone happy. You do a really good cheese and meat plate and fruit and you do maybe a couple of flat breads.”

And what’s a party without some libations? The rum drinker is especially a fan of the line she’s partnered with because it’s only 70 calories per serving.

I mean, I realize it’s rude to make fun of someone for just talking and talking and talking when they’re specifically being asked to talk by a journalist, but still. WHAT IS THIS ARTICLE ABOUT EVEN. [People]
