Is Lacey Chabert Still In Touch With Mean Girls Co-Star Lindsay Lohan?

The Plastics were teen royalty but, by the end of Mean Girls, their squad had disbanded for good, leaving Gretchen Weiners to find a new queen bee to serve. In reality, actress Lacey Chabert isn’t worshiping at anybody’s feet, but surely she remains in contact with her popular clique buddies, right?
With all the talk of rebooting beloved properties, it was only a matter of time before the conversation turned towards Mean Girls, and really, reuniting a cast who has stayed in contact over the 15 years since the movie was released would be significantly easier than bringing together a group who can’t stand each other.

Chabert even suggested the idea of returning to The Plastics nowadays, more than a decade after their dramatic high school experience, to see how things have changed for them. “I think to revisit where those women are in their lives now would be really fun,” Chabert enthused (she hilariously told Entertainment Weekly that, these days, “Gretchen is probably running the Toaster Strudel empire”).
However, she isn’t sure a remake is ever actually going to happen, admitting, “I don’t know. I wish I had an answer for you. I feel like you need to start a petition.”
It’s worth noting Lindsay Lohan told Variety earlier this year that she’s dying to do a Mean Girls sequel. “If anyone has asked for this more than I have, please tell me. I’ve said it so many times, and so many people have asked me, and I think we’d have so much fun doing it,” she said.
Lacey Chabert is still close with at least one cast member
As for whether she stays in contact with her other co-stars, the one time Gretchen Weiners confirmed she talks to Mean Girls scribe Tina Fey “on occasion,” noting, “Our paths do continue to cross, which is really nice.”
