Ariana Grande's<em> Thank U, Next</em> video dropped in November. It was a tribute to some of the finest noughties movies and featured cameos from plenty of celebrities, including <em>Mean Girls</em> and <em>Legally Blonde</em> stars like Jonathan Bennett and Jennifer Coolidge. The<em> Freaky Friday </em>actress appeared on Jenny McCarthy's SiriusXM show and the radio host quizzed Lohan about her absence. “They probably couldn’t get in touch with me, I guess,” Lohan said. “I don’t know. It’s not that easy to just fly in from Dubai.” The video did, however, get the her seal of approval, with Lohan saying, “It’s great… I love the video.” For Grande's version, Lohan's character, Cady Heron, was played by the singer's former <em>Victorious </em>co-star Elizabeth Gillies. It’s not the first time that Lindsay Lohan has spoken publicly about living in the emirate. "I feel very comfortable in the UAE," she told Dubai-based magazine <em>Ahlan! </em>last year. "I can be myself – not followed or judged. People have a different approach... and I really admire it. Everyone is very welcoming." She added that the best thing about living in the UAE is that there is “no paparazzi”. Lohan has also spoken about buying one of Dubai’s World Islands, with plans to revamp it into “Lindsayland” with a new restaurant, luxury cabanas and water sports. <strong>____________________</strong> <strong>Read more:</strong> <strong><a href="https://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/i-won-t-leave-until-i-take-you-lindsay-lohan-uploads-video-of-uncomfortable-encounter-with-a-refugee-family-1.775113">'I won't leave until I take you' – Lindsay Lohan uploads video of uncomfortable encounter with a refugee family </a></strong> <strong><a href="https://www.thenational.ae/uae/fortunes-of-lebanon-island-look-up-with-the-launch-of-new-projects-on-dubai-s-the-world-1.763781">Fortunes of Lebanon island look up with the launch of new projects on Dubai's The World</a></strong> <strong><a href="https://www.thenational.ae/lifestyle/fashion/the-jewellery-trends-you-need-to-know-about-for-2019-1.811466">The jewellery trends you need to know about for 2019</a></strong> <strong>____________________</strong>
