Tina Fey Plots ‘Mean Girls’ Musical

Tina Fey is developing a Mean Girls musical. The 30 Rock comedienne - who wrote and was featured in the 2004 film starring Lindsay Lohan - is looking to bring the hit teen comedy to the stage with the help of her husband Jeff Richmond.

Quizzed about a possible Mean Girls musical on the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards in Los Angeles last night, she told E! News, "Maybe! We want to. I would love to. I'm trying to develop it with my husband, who does all the music for 30 Rock and I think Paramount's onboard."

While the musical is very much in the early stages, the 42-year-old star feels "Triumphant" singer Mariah Carey would make a great candidate for the role of villain Regina George's ditzy, "cool" mother in the stage show. Tina, who "loved" the American Idol feud between Carey and Nicki Minaj, said, "I think Mariah won. Like, Mariah seemed to really know all the characters. Maybe she can play Amy Poehler's part in the musical."

Before Mean Girls 2 goes straight to DVD, it will stop by cable TV first. ABC Family has announced that it will air the movie on January 23 at 8 pm.

The original Mean Girls, written by Tina Fey and starring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams, was a huge success. The second installment stars Jennifer Stone and Meaghan Martin. Tim Meadows will reprise his role as the school principal.

The film will be released on DVD on February 1.

Rachel McAdams’ Praise for Lindsay Lohan

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip,

Rachel McAdams thinks Lindsay Lohan is a natural actress.

McAdams - who starred alongside Lindsay in 2004’s Mean Girls - said she was surprised by how well the then-17-year-old star took direction on board, but admitted Lindsay loved to go out all the time.

“I just remember marveling about how much she knew as an actor, how much she understood,” the 31-year-old said. “She did very few takes and had this naturalness to her. And beyond that, I was 26 at the time. I’d be asked, ‘Where do you go out?’”
