Come in loser, we’re falling!
Renée Rapp was snapped in New York on Wednesday – on her 24th birthday! — after appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbertwhere she promoted her new music film Mean girls.
In one photo, the actress and singer – who was holding a bottle of Veuve Clicquot in one hand – threw herself onto the pavement before several people quickly helped her to her feet.
Rapp later poked fun on Instagram, posting a photo of herself running unmistakably in pantyhose with a skinned knee. As she sat in the vehicle, she appeared to be drinking straight from a bottle of champagne.
“I fell before I was drunk happy birthday,” she captioned the post, prompting her movie mom Busy Philipps to reply: “You really are my baby. Happy birthday bb.”

Here’s how you know the cast of 2024 Mean girls Movie
In the new one Mean girls the film — which is adapted from the Broadway musical version of the original 2004 hit film — stars Rapp as Regina George, the vengeful queen bee of North Shore High School, originally played on screen by Rachel McAdams.
Rapp’s role in the film comes after she played Regina on Broadway, taking over the role started by Taylor Louderman. She is joined by Avantika and Bebe Wood as Regina’s plastic cohorts, Karen and Gretchen, plus Angourie Rice as Cady, Auli’i Cravalho as Janis and Jaquel Spivey as Damian.
In February 2023, screenwriter Tina Fey announced that she and Tim Meadows would return to their original film roles as Mrs. Norbury and Principal Duvall.
Additionally, Office alumna Jenna Fischer plays Cady’s mother, and Philipps, 44, plays “cool mom” Mrs. George. Jon Hamm rounds out the cast as Coach Carr.

Mean girls New York premieres: see all the stars on the red carpet
In addition to Fey, 53, and Meadows, 62, other members of the original cast are celebrating the release of the new film. Some of them – including Lindsay Lohan – even attended the film’s premiere on Monday night.
Lohan, who originated the lead role of Cady, looked totally wacky in a long-sleeve black Alexandre Vauthier gown that featured a beautiful neckline embellished with silver crystals.
Other North Shore High students attending the red carpet included Daniel Franzese, who played Damian two decades ago, and Rajiv Surendra, who wore a Mathletes Letterman jacket as a nod to his character Kevin G, played by Mahi Alam in the new version.
Franzese, 45, told PEOPLE at the New York premiere that “we all want” to make a sequel. He added of his former colleagues: “We all talk when we can. It’s very difficult. We’ve all been really busy, but I love them too.”
Mean girls is in theaters on Friday.
