Mean Girls - Where are they now?

So this past weekend, I was watching some tv in bed. I past out on a movie channel and when I woke up, the movie 'Mean Girls' was on. Normally, I would never have chosen to watch this movie again since Lindsay Lohan stars in it, but since it was on and I couldn't find the remote, I ended up watching most of the movie.

While watching this movie, I found it very sad how much talent Lindsay wasted away by drinking and doing drugs. Yes, I'll admit she had some talent early in her career. Freaky Friday and Mean Girls showed some of that. Even Herbie Fully Loaded. However, we all know (whether we want to or not) what has happened to her over the past few years.

It's quite sad actually. She's been arrested multiple times and has been able to avoid any real jail time and only rehab and community services stints. We've gone from this:
                                          
To this:
                                  
However, while watching the movie 'Mean Girls', it became apparent to me that there were several actors in the movie that I didn't know were actually in it. Of course at the time, these were young actors and this was their 'big' break to act in a movie alongside Lindsay Lohan. Who were these young thespians?

One became a successful writer and tv show creator, another took a Vow, married a time traveler, had a wedding crashed, and finally the last actor was recently very Miserable and In Time to find love with Justin Timberlake.

So who are they?

Tina Fey
Back then, Tina Fey was just a writer for SNL. She wrote the screenplay and starred in 'Mean Girls'. Since then, she's gone on to become the head writer of Saturday Night Live and even created the hit show '30 Rock'. She also starred in numerous movies such as: Megamind, The Invention of Lying, and Date Night.

Rachel McAdams
Starring as the main villain in 'Mean Girls', this was Rachel's big break. After this movie, she followed it up with The Notebook, Wedding Crashers, The Time Traveler's Wife, Sherlock Holmes, and The Vow. Not too bad when you're playing second fiddle to the 'great' Lohan.

Amanda Seyfried
Amanda had a truly supporting role in 'Mean Girls'. She played a 'sidekick' to both Lindsay and Rachel's characters. Since then, she's been in Veronica Mars, Dear John, Big Love, In Time, Les Miserable, and ironically Lovelace (taking over the role from Lindsay Lohan).

So after almost 10 years when 'Mean Girls' came out in theaters, we have Lindsay Lohan in a rehab center for 90 days and in constant trouble with the law, and three careers which has eclipsed Lohan's by miles.

If this wasn't a reason to stay off of drugs and booze, I don't know what is.
