Amanda Seyfried believes Paramount owe her money for Mean Girls merchandise.
The 39-year-old actress - who played Karen Smith in the 2004 movie - loves the enduring popularity of the teen comedy but admitted she feels "a little resentful" because her fact appears on so many T-shirts and she doesn't get any royalties for the use of her likeness.
Asked if she has rewatched the film, she told Adam Brody for Variety's Actors on Actors series: "No. It's on often enough though. I love it. I really love seeing my face on people's T-shirts.
"I'm a little resentful because Paramount still owes me some money for the likeness. Every store sells Mean Girls T-shirts with our faces.
Amanda questioned if she missed out on extra revenue because she was young and "dumb" when she signed her contract for the film.
She said: "Don't I [get something from that]? Is it because I was 17 and dumb? Or is it..?' "

But Amanda is always grateful when she meets fans of the film.
She said: "Even the girl at TSA tells me it's her favourite movie. I'm like, 'Great! I had nothing to do with it, I was 17...'"
Meanwhile, the Mamma Mia star - who has two children with husband Thomas Sadoski - thinks she is "allergic" to marijuana, though she had some enjoyable times consuming the drug with Adam.
Reminiscing about visiting a beach when they filmed 'Jennifer's Body', she said: "I don't know if I could do pot again. I think I'm allergic to it. I had some bad experiences.
"But I remember that being the most peaceful. That was probably the last time. I might have also gotten stoned with you at your house that I now own.
"I think the only time I've enjoyed pot was with you, so thank you. You have an effect on people. Look at what's happening: You're in a hit show, and people are gasping, 'Adam Brody'."

The Nobody Wants This star quipped: "I don't think it's pot-related."
Amanda agreed: "No, it's just that you make people feel at ease."
Adam said: "I really appreciate that, I think because I'm pretty attuned to people's discomfort because I'm in touch with my own, so I don't think I'm a bad host in that way."

Michael Madsen's sister Virginia pays emotional tribute after actor's death
Michael Madsen's sister Virginia has paid a heartfelt tribute to the Reservoir Dog' actor after he was found dead at his home in Malibu on Thursday at the ageof67 Virginia Madsen has honoured her brother Michael Madsen with a heartfelt tribute a fter his sudden death. The renowned actor, aged 67, was found unresponsive at his Malibu home on Thursday, July 3. His actress sister Virginia, 63, reminisced about him in an emotional statement. In her touching tribute to Variety, she expressed: "My brother Michael has left the stage. "He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother - etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark. "We're not mourning a public figure. We're not mourning a myth - but flesh and blood and ferocious heart. Who stormed through life loud, brilliant, and half on fire. Who leaves us echoes - gruff, brilliant, unrepeatable - half legend, half lullaby. "I'll miss our inside jokes, the sudden laughter, the sound of him. I'll miss the boy he was before the legend; I miss my big brother. Thank you to everyone reaching out with love and memory. In time, we'll share how we plan to celebrate his life - but for now, we stay close, and let the silence say what words can't." Vivica A. Fox, Michael's Kill Bill co-star, reflected to the New York Post: "I had the pleasure of working with Michael Madsen on Kill Bill several other films! Michael was a talented man with an AMAZING on-screen presence! My deepest condolences and prayers to his family." Michael was celebrated for leaving behind an enduring impact in the world of entertainment; he is and will continue to be greatly missed. Harvey Keitel, with whom Madsen shared the screen in 'Reservoir Dogs,' paid a poignant tribute, saying: "We've lost another great American poet. Farewell, my dear friend. I'll never forget one of the best scenes I've ever seen on film - of you and Chris Penn fighting in 'Reservoir Dogs.' A great love scene. Give Chris a hug for me." Chris Penn tragically passed away in 2006 at the age of 40. Actor James Woods also shared his own memories of working with Madsen on social media, writing: "Oh man, this is a hard one. Michael and I did The Getaway together. We did Straight Talk together. "I was always touched by his sweet nature and generosity, the absolute opposite of the 'tough guys' he portrayed so brilliantly. Rest in Peace, dear friend." Rob Schneider also shared a heartfelt tribute, stating, "Michael Madsen was a dream to work with. A truly gifted actor gentleman who made every person on the set comfortable; generous with his stories with his infectious laughter. "I only wish we could have done more things together in this crazy business. My love to his kids friends."

The Chase star forced to give away comedy show tickets for FREE just days before hitting the stage
The ITV star surprised fans last year as she embarked on a new adventure UP FOR GRABS The Chase star forced to give away comedy show tickets for FREE just days before hitting the stage Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Chase star Jenny Ryan is giving away comedy show tickets for FREE just days before she takes to the stage. The quizmaster, 43, is set to appear at The Pleasance Theatre in London over multiple dates in July and August. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 Jenny Ryan has been forced to give away free tickets to her comedy show in London Credit: Instagram/@jenny_from_the_quiz 2 The ITV star will be previewing her brand new show, Björn Yesterday on Saturday Credit: Splash Jenny will be performing a special singalong comedy investigation all about Swedish pop group Abba. The descriptions says she will go "public with her theory of the Mamma Mia multiverse". Tickets are usually priced around £15, but a number of tickets have been released for her July 5 show for no cost at all. Fans can bag themselves a free ticket to her one-hour show and will only need to pay a £4 admin fee. While those keen to be in the audience can also purchase a ticket for a little as £10, as stated on the website, depending on the day you go. Although fans may be able to secure themselves a bargain, a show insider said it's not highly unusual that free tickets are given away. A rep for the show told The Sun: "Often in hot weather for preview shows, if they're not completely sold out, it is standard practice to offer some complimentary tickets." Jenny will be previewing her brand new show, Björn Yesterday on Saturday. Jenny, known to many as The Vixen from The Chase, surprised fans last year as she embarked on a new adventure. Jenny hit the road last September with her Out of the Box tour, which ran until November. Watch as The Chase's Jenny Ryan reveals new role away from ITV show At the time she shared her excitement and nerves about stepping away from her stern quizmaster persona with the new venture. Speaking to show host Ed Balls on GMB, Jenny explained: "We took the show to Edinburgh Fringe last year really on sort of a whim. "It's a big risk to take something like this, as presenters know, after a stern role and you try something new. "It's a bit of a challenge for people to change their expectations and perceptions of you." The former MP joked "Tell me about it!", referencing his segue from a political career into presenting. When Ranvir Singh suggested that Jenny might find it difficult to return to The Chase after opening up to audiences, she said: "Putting myself out there to show a softer side of me, putting everything out there, my background, everything… was a bit of a risk. "But we sold out [at the Fringe] and we got such excellent feedback."

Tillie, 22, is well-known for playing Stacey Neville in school drama Waterloo Road. The pair were snapped smiling and strolling together towards a waiting car. Bobby and Tillie reportedly dated previously on and off for a year. During his stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2023, the star was said to be "besotted" with his former lover. At the time, a source close to the actor said he was hopeful he could rekindle his romance with Tillie. They told The Mirror: 'Bobby was really keen on her, but she decided to call time on the relationship, feeling they weren't compatible. "There was no big row and, as they have always been on/off, Bobby hasn't given up. "He is doing all the running at the moment. "Bobby is messaging Tillie constantly in between rehearsals and has also asked her to the Strictly studio." Huge EastEnders star to QUIT soap after four years 'to look for other opportunities' Last month, it was announced Bobby is leaving his role on EastEnders after four years. He joined the BBC soap in 2022, playing returning character Freddie Slater. Bobby scooped a National Television Award last year for rising star in the role. An EastEnders spokeswoman said: 'We can confirm that Bobby Brazier will be leaving EastEnders, and we wish him all the best for the future.' A telly insider revealed: 'Bosses had a meeting with Bobby only recently as they had a plan in mind for a storyline, and it just so happened that Bobby was also thinking that now was the right time to look for other opportunities outside the show. Inside Bobby Brazier's burgeoning TV career Bobby Brazier has risen through the ranks to become a well known face on British TV. As the son of Jade Goody and Jeff Brazier, he has been well-known amongst the public from a young age. Bobby first embarked on a showbiz career when he was just 16-years old when he started modelling. The star made his catwalk debut in 2020 at Milan Fashion Week, but it wasn't long before he had his eyes on a TV career. He shot to prominence in 2022 when he was cast as Freddie Slater in EastEnders. The incredibly acting skills displayed on screen earned him the National Television Award in the 'Rising Star' category. His famous dad was in tears as Bobby accepted the award on stage in front of the likes of Holly Willoughby and Alison Hammond. It wasn't long before BBC bosses wanted him to take part in the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing. He clearly impressed the viewers with his dancing skills as he made the grand final and was a runner-up. Since then, viewers were delighted when he returned to his role in the long-running BBC One soap. 'The timing of the decision worked for both, but his final scenes are not for a while yet. 'The character has had a great run, but the time is now right for Bobby to look for other opportunities, and for EastEnders to wave goodbye to Freddie Slater.' Clair Norris (Bernadette Taylor) and Matthew James Morrison (Felix Baker) recently waved goodbye to Walford. In addition, Molly Rainford, who has played Anna Knight since 2023, is also set to depart. 5 The actor was previously said to be "besotted" with the Waterloo Road star Credit: James Curley
