Lindsay Lohan scored hefty paycheck for Mean Girls’ cameo — you’ll never guess how much

Warning: Spoilers ahead for the “Mean Girls” musical. Lindsay Lohan fetched a huge paycheck for her appearance in the new “Mean Girls” musical flick. The 37 year old teen “Falling for Christmas” star makes a small but poignant cameo appearance in the new film, but she was still paid quite a hefty sum after working just half a day.

Sources told Variety that Lohan raked in $500,000 for her quick appearance in the Tina Fey film. Lohan starred as Cady Heron in the OG 2004 teen flick “Mean Girls.” It ran for 833 performances on Broadway from 2018 to 2020 before it was adapted into a movie musical earlier this year. The Post has reached out to Lohan’s reps for comment.

In the new movie, the “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen” star makes a cameo in a scene that involves a math competition. Lohan even jetted off to New York City from her home in the United Arab Emirates to attend the premiere on Jan. 8. “It’s stood the test of time,” she told Entertainment Tonight on the carpet about the film.

“I feel really grateful. I mean, it’s not very often that you have all these movies that do that. ‘Mean Girls’ really opened the doors for a lot of things going on in schools. I think it’s also a really fun movie, so it’s really a blessing.” Despite her mini appearance in the musical, Lohan was reportedly upset over a line present in the story.

In the film, Megan Thee Stallion made a joke towards Cady (this time played by Angourie Rice) over her outfit. “We are going back red! Y2K fire crotch is back,” the rapper quipped. As fans may know, in a 2006 paparazzi clip, Lohan was referred to as a “fire crotch” by friend Paris Hilton’s own pal, Brandon Davis.

“Lohan’s movie bombed because she’s a fire crotch,” Davis said at the time. “Her dad’s hotter than her!” Lohan’s rep released a statement about the jab Monday, telling E! News : “Lindsay was very hurt and disappointed by the reference in the film.” An insider then divulged that Lohan was “surprised and taken aback” when she first heard the reference at the Manhattan premiere earlier this month.

The “Parent Trap” alum was the only original “Mean Girls” star to return to the updated movie. Castmates Lacey Chabert, Rachel McAdams, and Amanda Seyfried were asked to make cameos. However, their schedules didn’t allow them. Fey — who wrote and starred in both the 2004 film and the 2024 adaption — explained to The New York Times : “They’re busy people, so it didn’t come together.

But we tried, and we all love each other.”.
