Mean Girls arrives on Nintendo’s handheld DS system later this month, but there’s an even bigger buzz brewing over one very glaring omission from the game’s cover art: actress Lindsay Lohan.
The 2004 teen comedy featured a group of mean-spirited high school princesses who set out to destroy Lohan’s Cady. The box art for the game features only the bitchy posse of teen terrors known as “The Plastics” (Amanda Seyfried, Rachel McAdams, and Lacey Chabert) — LiLo is nowhere to be seen. In the game, players will guide Cady on her quest to defeat “The Plastics” and become prom queen. Although Lohan’s character is the featured, the troubled starlet’s likeness will be absent from all promotional materials for Mean Girls for Nintendo DS, which goes on sale next week.
No reason has been given for the snub, but we’re willing to bet Lindsay’s alleged recent drug relapse has something to do with it.
