Renee Rapp Comments On Unhinged Interviews
Her "unhinged" and "unfiltered" interview behavior first went viral last year on the Mean Girls press tour, receiving praise from fans and jokes about her apparent "lack of media training." But while fans might enjoy her carefree responses, it seems like Reneé herself isn't exactly a fan of the discourse.
She recently told the Guardian, "It's very weird, honestly, to be perceived that way, because I don't really think about it."
"I never thought about how people would dissect even the way you speak," she continued. "Like, wait, what would a normal response be? A fluffy, nonsense answer? To me, that would make me crazy."
She added, "If I was a journalist, that would drive me fucking up the wall! Because I would be like, 'Hang on, we're not even like having a conversation.' That would make me insane."
She went on to credit her parents for giving her the confidence to share her opinions so freely. She said, "I have phenomenal parents. They were just always like: 'Be accountable to yourself, to your friends, to people you don't know.'" Another lesson she said she learned is "there's no shame in being wrong, necessarily," as long as you can "look in the mirror" and be okay.
Elsewhere in the interview, Reneé reflected on other viral moments, including the reaction to her May song "Leave Me Alone," where she was accused of dissing The Sex Lives of College Girls with the line, "I took my sex life with me, now the show ain't fuckin'!" As fans know, Reneé left the show in 2023 ahead of the third season, and since then, she's signaled she didn't exactly have the greatest time on the show.
When asked why she left the series in a June interview with Ziwe, Reneé tellingly responded, "I had such a good experience."
"I wish I could go back," she added. "Really?" Ziwe asked, to which Reneé replied, "Nope!"
The Guardian asked her about the reaction to the song in the interview, and Reneé replied with what the outlet described as a "Cheshire cat grin." "It's like Beyoncé said," she shared. "'You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation.'"

Lindsay Lohan's Red-Carpet Accessory Was a Wink to 'Freaky Friday' Fans
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Lindsay Lohan has been in her fair share of teen classics, from Mean Girls to Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, but she seemed to be channeling something more like Pretty in Pink with her latest red-carpet look. On Tuesday night in Los Angeles, at the world premiere of her new sequel, Freakier Friday, Lohan stepped out in a blush-colored princess gown befitting a frequent Disney collaborator. The sparkling Miu Miu design featured a heart-shaped bust, with material wrapped like bandages around Lohan's waist. Then, the fabric cascaded into a flowing, pleated skirt with a delicate scalloped hem that grazed the floor. All across the dress, tiny silver rhinestones dotted the material in lines, following the course of the fabric and slowly tapering off as they traveled down the skirt. These same gems made up the silvery spaghetti straps, and they matched Lohan's jewelry, courtesy of Lorraine Schwartz, which consisted of an intricate princess necklace and chandelier earrings. Perhaps the best part though was Lohan's nod to her Freakier Friday character, Anna Coleman. To go with her dress, the young mom carried a karaoke microphone clutch from Judith Leiber, which was coated in silver crystals (and retails for $4,995). Fans of the original will recall that Lohan's character is part of a band called Pink Slip (and come to think of it, the color of the dress was likely no coincidence either.) As she walked the purple carpet, Lohan reunited with Freaky Friday cast members who reprise their roles in the sequel—like Jamie Lee Curtis and Chad Michael Murray. But then, fans were treated to a surprise when she also had a mini reunion with two of her former Parent Trap costars: Lisa Ann Walter and Elaine Hendrix. The moment could have only been made better by an impromptu performance of 'Ultimate.'

‘Parent Trap' stars Lindsay Lohan, Elaine Hendrix and Lisa Ann Walter reunite at ‘Freakier Friday' premiere
The 'Freakier Friday' red carpet wasn't Camp Walden, but it sure felt like it. 'Parent Trap' stars Lindsay Lohan, Elaine Hendrix and Lisa Ann Walter staged a mini reunion at the world premiere of Disney's long-awaited 'Freaky Friday' sequel in LA on Tuesday. The trio starred in Disney's 1998 version of 'The Parent Trap,' a remake of the original 1961 film. Advertisement 10 Lohan, Hendrix and Walter reunited at the world premiere of Disney's 'Freakier Friday.' FilmMagic Lohan, 39, famously played twins Hallie Parker and Annie James — separated at birth and reunited at summer camp, where they team up to switch places in an attempt to bring their divorced parents, Nick Parker (Dennis Quaid) and Elizabeth James (the late Natasha Richardson), back together. Walter, 61, portrayed Nick's feisty housekeeper, Chessy, while Hendrix, 54, took on the role of Meredith Blake, the girls' gold-digging soon-to-be stepmother.

DIsney Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, Lohan, who was just 12 when the film was released, said she 'still feels like a little girl' around her former costars. 'When you spend so much time with people on sets, and also when you're so young and you grow up with these people, you experience real life with them as well,' the 'Mean Girls' star told the outlet. 'And when you stay in contact, which is the beautiful thing, you feel like you're just always together, in a way.'

'I hadn't seen her since she was a little girl… I had a special inside window into her that no one else did,' she said. 'When I came and reunited with her, there was, first and foremost, a real sense of familiarity about her. And then there was also, like, 'Oh, you're a whole different person now.'

'She just looks so happy. This is wonderful.' 10 Walter as feisty housekeeper Chessy in 'The Parent Trap.'

The original movie, which also starred Jamie Lee Curtis, follows a mother and daughter — Tess and Anna Coleman, played by Curtis and Lohan, respectively — who magically switch bodies and must navigate each other's lives to understand one another better. The sequel, 'Freakier Friday,' adds Anna's daughter, Harper Coleman (Julia Butters), and her soon-to-be stepdaughter, Lily Davies (Sophia Hammons), to the mix.

Big Dog Shows Up at Dachshund Meetup, Unprepared for Response
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A group of dachshunds were left in a frenzy after a larger dog arrived at their group meetup in a park. A short clip of the moment, which was posted to TikTok by a dachshund owner in attendance, has left viewers on the platform in stitches. Viewers were able to see group of dachshunds—many on leash and close to their owners—barking in synchronized alarm at the arrival of a much larger canine. The video's comical timing and high-pitched chorus, set against upbeat indie pop music, led to it quickly gaining attention on the platform. To date, it has been viewed more than 248,000 times after being shared to TikTok by @oakleyandluna on July 6. While the breed of the intruding dog was not disclosed, the larger canine was met with a wall of tiny but unified protest after entering the dachshund meetup. The post, which has been liked more than 25,000 times, featured an overlaid text that read: "When a big dog shows up to the wiener dog meetup." "Sorry big dog, this was weenie territory," the dachshund owner added in the caption. Though no physical conflict occurred in the clip, the dachshunds' intense reaction was immediate. Known for their bold, occasionally reactive behavior—especially when confronted by unfamiliar, larger breeds—this group appeared to stand their ground. What followed was an eruption of barks that seemed to amuse the onlooking humans. The choice of soundtrack, a lighthearted indie tune, heightened the humor, playing counterpoint to the flurry of barks from the dachshund contingent. Viewers have since flooded the comments section with their reactions. "He doesn't even go here," one viewer said, referencing the humorous Mean Girls quote. "Dachshunds despise other breeds," another added. "A sausage barked at my greyhound the other day and she just looked at me like 'is that thing serious?'" Another commented. Sausage dog meetups are becoming a regular social event in many cities, bringing together owners and their dogs to socialize, share tips and celebrate the breed's distinctive charm. Dachshunds, originally bred in Germany for hunting, are well-known for their loud bark, bold personality and wariness around unfamiliar animals, particularly larger ones.
