Lindsay Lohan is reprising one of her most iconic roles, but according to her, stepping back into one facet of the character was a little, well, freaky.
In a conversation with Freakier Friday costar Chloe Fineman for an Elle cover story published Tuesday (May 27), the actress opened up about what it was like to sing again while playing Anna Coleman for the second time in Freaky Friday‘s upcoming sequel. Also starring Jamie Lee Curtis, the original 2003 flick found Lohan’s character — a teenage rebel who fronts a rock band called Pink Slip — magically switching bodies with her mother.

“It was good,” Lohan began. “Well, it was kind of nerve-racking at first, because I’m not singing as me. When I was doing [Freaky Friday], I was also recording an album, so it was part of my life at the time. In this movie, I was singing it as Anna, whereas before felt more like Lindsay singing.”

The Parent Trap star also confirmed that everyone in the original Pink Slip lineup returned for the sequel. “The whole band came back,” she told the Saturday Night Live comedian. “And it’s so funny, because Christina Vidal [who plays Maddie] had just had a baby, and we were like, ‘How weird is this? Are we still cool?’”
The interview comes just a couple of months ahead of the premiere of Freakier Friday, which hits theaters on Aug. 8. It’ll mark the latest project in Lohan’s onscreen renaissance that has taken place over the past few years following a long hiatus, during which the actress started a family. In 2022, she married finance executive Bader Shammas, and the pair welcomed a son, Luai, the following year.
According to Lohan, her little boy doesn’t fully understand her job as an actress yet — although he did recognize her on screen when she watched the original Freaky Friday to study her own guitar playing. “In my trailer, one day I was watching the original guitar scene and practicing movements,” she recalled to Fineman. “And he was there and he was like, ‘Mama,’ pointing at the screen.”

The shoes include plenty of unique design details such as quilted side panels and mesh accents that add texture and dimension, while two-tone uppers make styling options practically endless. Our favorite? The Blue colorway is pretty great, given the hue is centered around deeper blue hues that are just as adaptable as black.

Fivio Foreign’s 2025 has been anything but smooth, as the Brooklyn drill rapper has spent the entire year behind bars following a weapons-related arrest on New Year’s Day.
However, there may finally be a glimmer of hope for the “Big Drip” artist. According to the New Jersey Public Information Office, Fivio pled guilty to one count of making terroristic threats, specifically, a third-degree charge involving a threat to commit a violent crime. Originally, Fivio was facing a far more serious legal battle with four additional charges looming over him, including unlawful possession of a weapon and aggravated assault.
However, his attorney, Adam Lustberg, shared with TMZ that those charges are likely to be dropped in light of the plea deal. The incident that landed him in jail reportedly began when a woman asked Fivio for a jump-start for her car. She told police that instead of helping, Fivio pulled a gun on her, leading to his arrest by Edgewater Police. Since then, the rapper has remained in custody, awaiting legal resolution.
Lustberg says the hope now is that Fivio will receive probation at his sentencing hearing scheduled for August. Given the time he’s already served — nearly eight months behind bars — there’s a strong chance the court will consider it sufficient punishment, opening the door for a possible release. For a rapper who’s spent much of his career building momentum, this could be a crucial step toward getting his life and music career back on track.

Ahead of the premiere of the new Apple TV+ animated special Lulu Is a Rhinoceros on Friday, Billboard Family has your exclusive first listen of the uplifting self-love anthem “The Perfect Me.”
The adorable ditty features Auli’i Cravahlo‘s Lulu, Dulé Hill’s Flom Flom and Utkarsh Ambudkar’s Hip-Hop celebrating their best and most authentic selves as they sing, “The perfect me is me/ The perfect you is you/ And when we listen to each other/ The whole world is more in tune, yeah!/ Who I am’s up to me/ Nothing I have to prove/ I’m easy to love, I’m good enough/ The perfect you is you!”
Coinciding with the premiere, Cravalho and creators Jason and Allison Flom shared exclusive statements with Billboard about the inspirational message that both kids and adults can take from “The Perfect Me.”
Trending on Billboard
“I adore Lulu for her enthusiastic spirit, and her innate wisdom of knowing exactly who she is,” the Moana star tells Billboard. “The song ‘The Perfect Me’ was a lot of fun to record; and while the message is simple, it felt meaningful to belt out! Others might say how you should look or act, but you are whole and complete without alI that outside noise. It’s honestly really catchy, and I definitely left the studio in a better mood that day.”
Meanwhile, the Floms — who penned the original children’s book together and serve as executive producers on the animated special — shared their own thoughts on the self-love anthem. “To write these lyrics, I started from, ‘The rhino of my dreams is me’ and ‘I am easy to love,’” Allison says. “In the song, Lulu, Flom-Flom and Hip-Hop each have a verse where they affirm: ‘Who I am is up to me/ Nothing I have to prove/ I’m easy to love/ I’m good enough…The perfect you is you!”
Jason adds: “Each of them reminds us that there’s much more to them than everyone else thinks and assumes. … We think everyone, not just kids, will connect to ‘The Perfect Me,’ and maybe they’ll get a boost of confidence every time they hear it.”
Once Lulu Is a Rhinoceros arrives on Apple TV+ on Friday, the special’s soundtrack will be available on Apple Music and other streaming platforms as well.
Pop songwriter LELAND serves as the special’s musical producer, and he tells Billboard: “Finding the right melodies and chords to pair with the brilliant lyrics written by Allison Flom was a challenge I welcomed. I aimed to compose melodies that felt conclusive, exciting, and easy enough for a child to sing after just a few listens. I remembered the songs I loved as a kid in my favorite musical specials or movies and how they’ve stuck with me to this day. The message of ‘The Perfect Me’ is simple and important and something we should all be reminded of whether we’re kids or adults.”

R&B singer Jaheim, best known for his success in the early 2000s, is facing renewed legal trouble after being arrested on May 1st in Fulton County, Georgia.
He is now charged with six counts of animal cruelty, marking his second arrest for similar offenses in recent years. Authorities claim that several dogs in Jaheim’s care were kept in unacceptable conditions, lacking clean water, proper air circulation, and sanitary environments. The dogs, identified as Tweet, Tip, Taka, Tink, Timber, and Tanger, include four Pit Bull Terriers, a French Bulldog, and a mixed-breed hound.
The NJ singer was taken into custody but released the following day.
This recent arrest comes nearly four years after a previous incident in 2021, when police in Hillsborough, New Jersey, discovered a disturbing scene at his residence. During that investigation, officers found 15 dogs living in poor conditions, with several confined to outdoor crates filled with waste. One of the animals was so severely neglected that it had to be put down.
Inside the home, law enforcement found additional dogs that were malnourished and had no access to food or clean water.
The repeated nature of these incidents has sparked outrage among animal rights advocates, who are calling for stronger accountability. Once celebrated for his soulful voice and chart-topping hits, Jaheim is now drawing public scrutiny for his ongoing legal battles involving the treatment of animals. As the case unfolds, many are left wondering whether he will face harsher consequences this time around.

The Amelia banded waist mini dress was practically made for the festival season. Retailing for $68.07, this bohemian style features a 70s flare with the addition of breezy bell sleeves, a whimsical paisley print and a Terracotta color scheme. The garment also includes a mock neckline and a stretchy banded waistline that allows the wearer ease of movement and a comfortable fit. Current sizing options for the Amelia are 1X and 2X.
Trending on Billboard
Free-spirited and effortless, we can see this piece paired alongside brown cowboy boots or a suede ankle bootie in a similar neutral hue to her dress. Accessorize with a wide-brimmed hat or a trusty rattan bag. Or make like Simpson and wear this dress with a platform sandal and loads of jewelry.
Jessica Simpson Women’s Ember Maxi Ruffle Dress
A maxi-length dress with flared short sleeves and a ruffled hem.
This little floral number is a frolicking dress for sure. Whether you’re skipping through a blooming meadow or heading off to work, Simpson’s Ember maxi ruffle dress is the perfect pick for those looking to add some color to their closets. The dress features a slightly boxy fit, accompanied by ruffles throughout that create shape and volume.
Florals in shades of blue and purple come in clutch to offer the garment visual interest. Finally, the flouncy flared sleeves impart a laid-back touch. It’s kind of giving “Little House On The Prairie” in the best way. The price is also hard to beat at $17. It’s a no-brainer for sure. We can envision this dress worn with a classic ballet flat in cream or baby pink along with minimalistic gold jewelry. If you’re aiming for a more maximalist look, combat boots or chunky platform espadrilles might be the way to go.
Jessica Simpson Women’s Faeryn Dress
A black mini dress with ballon sleeves and bow detailing.
Simple black dresses are a must-have for the warmer months. Little black dresses, or LBD for short, make for the perfect base to layer on all your more colorful pieces. You can truly wear a simple black dress a million different ways, and Simpson’s Faeryn is no exception to this rule. Retailing for $14.84, this LBD is exceptional for many reasons.
For starters, the balloon sleeves create welcomed drama that diversifies the otherwise plain silhouette. Additionally, the bow detailing on the bodice, while subtle, offers a flirty twist to the classic LBD. Worn on its own, the Faeryn dress can stand tall. Paired with colorful accessories like neon pink pumps or a more casual pair of motocross boots, the style acts as a blank canvas for your wildest fashion dreams.
Jessica Simpson Women’s Lexie Maxi Dress
A bright pink maxi dress with a tie top and short sleeves.
While bright hues can be jarring and tricky to style, Simpson’s Lexie maxi dress is extremely approachable. This piece is made of breezy hot pink cotton fabric accompanied by cap sleeves and a v-shaped neckline.
The dress’ boxy nature is exceptionally flattering, especially when accompanied by the tiered skirt and elasticized waist. Additionally, the tie detailing fixed to the bodice allows the wearer to play with how they’d like the bodice to sit, creating a customizable fit.
All of these details act to offset the bright hue by introducing simple but effective design choices that work to flatter the body. While we think this specific hue would look great on just about anyone, the Lexie would look beautiful on darker complexions. Try styling this dress with your favorite lifestyle sneakers for a more laid-back look. Or go for a date night-approved look and dress things up with nude kitten heels.
Jessica Simpson Women’s Trapeze Dress

A white boxy maxi-length dress with spaghetti straps.
Simpson’s Trapeze dress is super forgiving. Think ahead to those days when you’re tired and kind of bloated, we’ve been there too don’t worry. This dress features a boxy construction, thin spaghetti straps and a square neckline that instantly makes the wearer look more put together, even on those off days. We’re talking structured not shapeless.
The billowing skirt and button detailing are also nice touches too. Plus the stark white colorway is extremely versatile. Keeping with those chill and comfy vibes, we can see this dress worn with a flat metallic sandal or flirty ballet flats. In the mood to go out? This dress can also transform in the blink of an eye with help from gladiator sandals or a funky mule in vibrant hues that offset the dress’ neutral colorway.
Jessica Simpson Women’s Nicolette Paneled Dress
A midi-length dress in a denim hue and a form-fitted bodice.
If you’re ready to take on summer shopping, the Nicolette dress is a great place to start. It is a stand-out in Simpson’s collection mainly due to its construction. Retailing for $36.00, this piece, unlike the other picks on this list, is midi length and features a drop waist, no sleeves and a sweetheart neckline. It is reminiscent of a milkmaid style, especially thanks to the smocking at the back and tie detailing on the bodice. The denim hue is also unique in that it is overtly summer-centric, without all the colorful prints.
The skirt is exceedingly whimsical, featuring textural pleating and pockets for a utilitarian touch. Sizing options currently range from XS to M. For my vertically challenged friends, we recommend combatting the midi length with help from platform footwear that will ultimately elongate your silhouette.

Just days after 2024 Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter married Leanna Lenee, the couple’s union sparked a wave of commentary, most notably from Cam’ron and Mase on their podcast “It Is What It Is”.
Around the 47-minute mark of a recent episode, Mase voiced concern about the relationship, citing past controversies involving Leanna. “I think when it comes to the young lady, she does have like different things that have transpired,” Mase said. “For me as a dad, if that was my son, I would definitely be concerned.”
Cam echoed Mase’s cautious stance, particularly regarding the alleged absence of a prenuptial agreement. “Do what you want, Travis, that’s up to you,” Cam said. “I’m signing a prenup unless shorty getting as much money as I get or more than me.” He criticized the notion that prenups are unromantic, calling them a logical form of protection.
Hunter has faced public scrutiny over his relationship before. In 2023, he briefly deactivated his social media after rumors circulated that Leanna was using him or insecure about his rising fame. He later defended her on Twitch, though that defense was met with mixed reactions.
Despite the controversy, the newlyweds seemed unbothered during their wedding celebration. Hunter even surprised Leanna with a luxurious black Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 BRABUS 800. While the public and media weigh in with their opinions, the couple appears focused on their future together, standing united against outside judgment.
